As a filmmaker, I've been really curious about this movie! Thanks for sharing! Dropping you a like!

I really like the Frixion Markers. I do not like the Frixion clickable pens- only the ones with the cap.

as an artist- even using the most basic pens- every line you draw, every word you write goes straight through the page and is clearly visible on the other side. the paper is absolutely garbage, and the price for such paper is absolutely ludicrous

Do you have a notebook you recommend?

I feel like they moved to cheaper paper a few years ago and it really fell off. I've been using them for decades and it isn't the same anymore; I've been trying out some of their competitors lately.

Really wanted to get a Moleskine notebook as a kid but it was too expensive and seems like it's not worth the money. Great video!

Totally agree with you. Most important about writing is a reliable ink/pen. I really love a gel pen. However, it doesn’t work on this book.

Man! Finally someone who dare tell the sad truth on how awkward is the writing experience on these notebooks. For me the biggest no-no is how hard it is to correct small mistakes: you need to deploy an entire arsenal (towel + water) for a tiny mistake, and this at the risk of erasing what’s around. For this I shelved mine because it has no use for me. Now I use the pen that comes with the rocktebook to write on a moleskine and the writing experience is far better! I can use the builtin eraser without worrying about damaging the sheets. To scan the notes there are many apps to do that on the stores. Personally I use the free version of camscanner and it’s more than enough.

How's everybody's reading going so far this year? Let me know!

Absolutely! Thanks for the post - The writing experience is so bad I may have to shelve it as well

On youtube, there is a video comparing the "rocketbook wave vs core" or alike - maybe the wave suits you better, as the paper is less shiny, less smudges with the pen... but it is erasebble with microwafe, not with towel... i did not get it jet, so i can''t jet tell from own experiance...

Totally agree. I’ve had my RocketBook for almost a year and it’s only been a fair investment. The ink is the major problem. It’s too faint and you have to erase it within 30 days. The ink smudges terribly and is almost invisible. The pens need to have a much wider nib - not just fine and extra fine.

Well done! Did you choose your books before the challenge, or read them as they came along? I average 70-80 per year. Some I don’t care to finish and THAT gives me anxiety because does it count towards a book being read, or am I giving up too soon…? 😂

Hi! What are some of your favorite books that you would recommend? Comment down below!

💀 BRO

LMAOOO 😭

LMAO

Lol

What distracts you the most when reading? Let me know!

Bring back the colour coding on the spines from the 1970s too 😂

Are the new covers floppier and more durable (ie: less prone to spine cracking and chips)?

This is the new Coke fiasco all over again!

It’s better to have a large print even a normal one.

Part of modern design is just bad design. Part of the new world order is to dumb things down and for us to accept ugliness in art and design

Problem with speak to chart , you can't sing along with tge music

I love the old yellow ones with the black spine. Not those piled on your desk.

Try everyman classics acid free paper hardback and not always that much more expensive

80 books is very ambitious. Hats off to you. I'm a slow reader so I'd be happy with 15 lol 😂

Perhaps, like seemingly every other group these days the Penguins complained.

Content is the most important thing; not the packaging bro. If you want an aesthetic look then buy leather-bound sets with gold inlays. These are paperback editions and are susceptible dog-earing and the odd spatter of spaghetti sauce periodically. If the white cover banding doesn't line up then too bad; or does it diminish the story-line and your respect for the author? Penguin changed their look: accept it. Worse things happen at sea, so they say!

But Do They Sound As Good As The Life Q35 And Space Q45

The Space Q45 Do Allow Passive Wired Listening And Sound Amazing This Way . After Recieving The Space Q45 And 6 Plus Hours A B Testing Against My Life Q35 I Had To Conceid The Sound Victory To The Life Q35 With It's Slightly More Impactful Sound . They Both Have Very Enjoyable Sound With All Media Types But The Q45 Has A Different Sound Profile Out Of The Box Than The Q35s . I Listened Wired Passively And Also With The LDAC Bluetooth Codec And The Q35 Had The More Impactful Sound . The ANC Nod Clearly Goes To The Space Q45 . The Q45 Are Noticably Heavier With Thinner Head Padding Where The Q35 Are Noticably Lighter With Thicker Head Padding So Comfort Goes To The Life Q35 .

Your contents are very good. But your videos are not uploaded properly. You don't have any SEO, I can help you if you want

Pretty nice... thanks !

i was ENRAGED when i noticed the change !! the worst thing (imo) is the removal of the orange circle around the penguin and the orange coloured font of the authors name which made them stick out on the spine. they seem to be going for a more minimalist vibe which is not fitting for a (penguin) Classic!

i think they still look good. only the orange coloured book name thing was better than white

your mice not good enough, may be next time you use phone for recording your voice and put in on video process.

The old covers were nicer. Too nice for their own good! That cover design was so successful that it has been copied continuously. This became a problem because so much book buying is done online. It could be hard, when you were looking at a tiny cover picture, to know if you were buying a genuine Penguin edition or some fly by night edition with a cloned cover. It is easier to tell that it is a real Penguin edition, even in a small picture , with the thicker line and more prominent logo, along with the different lettering. It was strictly a marketing decision to protect the brand.

Not a fan of the font change and the color change of the author's names. The old, as you know, had that nice orange color to it while the new ones are replaced with something bland. The font I also have an issue. The old ones with the font had a more vintage feel to it while the newer ones are also replaced with a bland font much like the color. The only thing I do like is the one you mentioned about the line separating the author and the title. Wish the newer ones retained some orange to it.

I agree with the part about the bigger band with the penguin messing up the uniformity aspect of it. I just ordered Crime and Punishment and it arrived with the new cover, now I'm trying to make sure all the other Dostoyevsky novels I get are also with the new cover so they line up, which is kind of annoying... I would still say I'm not entirely opposed to the change because I do like the bigger band with the penguin etc, just wished they still kept some of the orange :(
