    Just occurred to me, might audiobooks also work for your friend? Because, if I were forced into resting, I would swallow everything by Robert A. Heinlein again. And 'Time Enough For Love' is the book of books. It's a ride of experience you're not gonna forget.

    Ah thanks, that's a great idea! [​IMG]
    I didn't think about audiobooks as an option. (Probably because I tried some when they started to become more common, but was rather disappointed with the quality at the time. Reading a story well is a skill too.)
    But you've made me look into it again, and I've found some titles that were done very well. [​IMG]
    Thanks for the suggestion: it's indeed the turning of pages that makes normal books impractical. [​IMG]
    So audiobooks are a good alternative.
    And it opens the door to a huge choice of good books. [​IMG]
    With Heinlein being on the 'must read' writers list for sure.

    :banana::banana::blackalien::banana:

    recommended documentarys is a kinda difficult topic, most dont offer a solution and just have pretty asthetics:

    and some make you aware of the small things in life/nature:


    same as le sable by denis delestrac :blackeye:
    who thought about sand before?!

    should make you think about treating your tires more friendly ;)

    on a serious note, i showed this to a "holywood-hating" guy and he loved it by shear unexpectedness and potential discussion.
    better not watch the trailer and just dive into it. cool sound and great camera

    p.s.: hope your friend is better now and recovering quickly
