I'm bored and am busy paying off debt and don't know what to do for fun. I was wanting to get some AS books but they are $15-$20+ U.S. so I was thinking the library would be good. Obviously perhaps dive into some older games I haven't beaten yet. Go and walk more and exercise. Any ideas for NOT spending money?

If you like to read, download Vuze, visit any random Bit Torrent site, and search for ebooks on your desired interest. I've got 100+ gigs in my collection. Sadly, I've read less than 2%.

Actually, if you want access to my collection, just send me a private message with your email address. I'll create an account and send you the login info. I figure that spreading information is a noble goal.

Yes; I go to the library all the time because I'm in college. You could probably get some books at the libary about AS. If your library doesn't have the book, then they might be able to borrow it from another library. Also, some books on Amazon are really cheap when they are used; you could buy a couple there. The library is an awesome place; I like just being able to read about random things once in awhile. I also like being able to read and do homework without people disturbing me too much. They have some awesome study rooms at my university's library, plus they have some really cool artwork among other things.

I go to the library from time to time. I like to look at the computer magazines.

The only long-lasting love affair of my life is with the local library!
This is the current list of my loans :

as usual, I am maxed out!

(they won't let you take out more than twenty at a time!)
(just as well, I suppose, or I'd never take any back! :roll:

)

One of my earliest memories is going to the Library up the road and getting SO many books out my brother and sister had to go and get our wheelbarrow to cart them back home!
When we got home, my mum utterly cracked the s(it's not important now)'s
and made us drag the whole lot back!
I think that was my first lesson in humiliation :
Telling the teller that we had to return all these books,
(I didn't tell the teller that it's because my mum's a screaming nutcase,
although in hindsight, that's obvious, now ( We could have read those books and returned them on time!

)

...but anyway, if it put a dent in my love for the universal availabity of knowledge,
I have quite sufficiently recovered, thank you very much!

I go to the library all the time, they tend to have one in my college but I never really came across a book about AS/Autism but I must go look for one despite I could practically be the only autistic person in my class. :lol:

But if I only go to the library, it would also be computers like CockneyRebel, mainly things like photoshop and how it all works and how to function it so I could produce work like that and also to put on deviant art.

But I definitely do need a new camera so I can take high quality pictures.

One of the best places to be. It's warm and I can get some work done on the large desks without being disturbed by the cats. The only problems are the female students, some of them are pretty enough to be distracting.

Now that I have my own personal computer, I have no need for the library. :lol:

Unless, of course, I need research materials for a school project, in which case the library is remarkably useful.
