Onemanga and Mangafox have manga that you can read on-line for free. <3

Maybe that will help.

I enjoy owning manga books and fantasy novels myself.

However, buying them is expensive.

Yen Plus, a manga mag I used to subscribe to went on-line as well.

On-line does make it easy access, which is nice.

However, I don't know how much I would enjoy reading novels on-line.

Manga has lots of pictures, so I don't mind so much.

I should try reading manga on-line myself. I have only done a small bit of it.

Reading can tire out the eyes - especially on-line.

to me reading just gives me a headache because I'm concentrating too hard on it XP

Nah...

I don't read much, but reading long stretches of text on the computer can be straining on the eyes. If I read, well, theoretically I would prefer physical actual books, but an dedicated e-book reader would be good, too. I mean like kindle, that has a screen specifically engineered to read like paper.

On the computer ? I can't really do that. I mean, sometimes I will read tings online that are longer, but for the most part... plus I just can't sit still. Most of the time when I am on the computer I am still doing something, like knitting, and / or typing or playing a game or something.

I mean, you can read from the computer for hours? That is what I was asking. The only books I've really read fully in the past few years have been Harry Potter books, but those I can read for hours and hours on end, haha. Don't need to be doing anything else.

Yeah that is what I did not understand earlier XD. I couldn't do that either.

I think it's because of the light blaring from the screen

Yeah some days that happens to me as well. However reading a longer stretch of text versus reading small amounts all day... I think that makes a big difference since you tend to move your eyes between reading posts or what have you but not so when reading something long like a novel.

Yeah, I don't think so though. Funny, I wonder if our species has actually evolved related to reading, considering it is a skill whose importance is relatively very recent to our species...

Aw... well, the longest friendship I've had started in the middle of high school and I graduated three years ago... but... before that no one was really a real friend to me...

Yeah, I don't really make friends, either, nor do I maintain relationships that I do have, which is why I so deeply value the friednship that I do have.

With me, no friendship last for about a year, I think it's because I get replaces super easily

:( I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, I've talked with all kinds of people, even perhaps thought they were friends, but... *shrugs* By high school I got used to not relaly being close with anyone.

as well as I'm always a loner

Aw... well, I mean, as long as you're nice with people or whatever, at least this is my thinking... I mean they don't really mind. I'd rather thye not be in my face anyway.

I'm sort of a loner, but I have been best friends with my best friend since Second Grade.

Yeah. That is one good thing about being alone. Nothing and no one to harass you.

At least I don't get that at my current seasonal job hardly.

That does sound like a nasty week to end all nasty weeks. *Hugs.*

You should have some people to support you there. <3
