Unable to sleep, I turned to voyarism as a hobby.

It started innocently with me staring out my window, at the apartments building across from my house, in a desperate attempt to focus my mind and cure my insomnia. After hours, however, of desperate staring the only change would be that my eyes adjusted to the dark; after days of this desperate ploy to cure my malediction, my eyes had become so accustomed I could make out not just the apartment across from me, but peer in through the windows into the rooms themselves, as clearly as though it were day.

So every night while I laid in bed searching for sleep, I would distract myself by watching people argue in their living rooms. People watch TV. People eat cereal at 3 in the morning. The secret affairs of my neighbours. The comings and going of the prostitutes and drug dealers on the streets.

With all that excitement, it took me almost two sleepless weeks until I noticed the light.

Every night, in the apartment B4, after all everyone else had gone to sleep, a small glowing red light would appear in the window. It would stay there, occasionally flickering out and then coming back hours later, and it would continue like this until just before the sun came up. Sometimes it would move ever so slightly, this way or that, but it would always remain in the same place.

During the day I would try to search for some kind of explanation for the light, but to no avail. The room had no furniture, no furnishings, nothing. In fact, when I looked through the window, the only thing I could make out was an unusually empty room. Out of curiosity I looked up who was listed as owner of that apartment, but it was listed as vacant.

But for two weeks that red light would, like clockwork, come on every night after dark, and disappear every morning.

Until just a couple days ago, when it stopped suddenly. And now, on top of my insomnia, I have the question of that light to keep me up. And if that wasn’t bad enough, new neighbours just moved into the apartment next to mine, and despite there being strict rules against smoking in the building, my entire suite stinks like cigarettes.

Tomorrow I’ll complain to the manager.

So, my apartment is pretty much stocked with books. I usually have around 3 books in my backpack all the time.

I never wanted an ereader. However, my friend out of nowhere gave me a Nook Glowlight. Is it really worth it?

Is there anything worth getting on this thing?

Is /lit/ serious on this? Can anyone tell here tell me this book is actually good? This sounds like a book you guys would laugh at and make fun of and call edgy and shit, not one you would recommend.

There are two barbers one has a shitty haircut the other have a good one which do you request for your haircut before your funeral so your body looks nice and handsome in the coffin? You're dying because you took too many pills but you're a fucking moron so it didn't kill you yet. You're going to die though, in a day or so, and you wanted to look nice when the cops take your body away, and for the open casket funeral.
