I've realized some interesting patterns in my reading choices the last several years. This has to do with reading books by men and women and whether they are new or older works.

Solo travel subreddit is having a debate on self check-in kiosks at hotels. I don't like them because they often have errors and I enjoy talking with staff. But I don't see it as a major problem.
