I don't see the point of having a no procrastination setting on Hackernews if irresponsible people link to captivating etexts like Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.

That's book is really grabbing me at the moment.

There goes the next two weeks of your free time.

Hmm -- and unfortunately for you, even though it masquerades as "just" a online fan fic, it's actually already the length of multiple books; the chapter count is in the 60s, and the downloadable "book-format" PDF is over 1K pages.

It's great fun, but yeah, you have to figure out a way to spread it out over a few weeks or you'll accomplish little else. :)
