Is it not an ID because of that? I don't see the relevance of mentioning address here.

Edit: oh, proof of residence? I went back and re-read the GP. It makes more sense in that context.

United States ID card

Passport seems like it sorta fits, but it's hardly universal.

In fact, I do prefer to buy generics. There are dozens of us!

Lots of great recommendations here. I'd also add Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold. Her Penric novels are quite fun, too.

The Hornblower stories are also excellent. They might hit a bit simpler -- the characters are a bit more heroic, a bit less complicated. IMO both are worth reading, but they hit a bit different even though they sail through similar waters (I was going to say 'covers the same ground', ha!)

I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. My neighborhood isn't the best for walkability -- there are definitely better areas in this city in that respect.

To the nearest convenience store: 1.5km To the nearest chain supermarket: 1.9km To the bus stop: 140m To the nearest park: 480m To the nearest big supermarket: 5.8km To the nearest library: 1.9km To the nearest train station: 800m

Straight-line distance to Big Ben: 6450km

I had the opposite experience. Once I started working full time after college, I felt like I had SO MUCH FREE TIME!

I did have a part-time job during college, though. That might have skewed things for me.

I wanted to like the game, but one game where the other players adopted the 'backstabbing' style ruined it for me.

I was sad when AOL started sending demo CDs instead of the floppy disks :(
