I happened to catch a conversation that led me to being surrounded by books! Apparently the ship's alien documentation is open for the public to read. I finally found something to spend my otherwise lonely hours on.

I requested a few random books from the library using the computer pad in my locker, and they were quick to send me one of them within the first few minutes, including some piece of glass. I wasn't sure what it was for when I first saw it, but when I opened the book, I guessed right by using the glass as.. glasses. The book was written in a language I could not understand without it. Still, even with this item, some of the sentences were a little off. I suppose written language is less well developed for most alien species. It makes sense, I've seen only a few who even have fingers to hold and use a writing tool with. I'm already surprised this book is bound together similarly to our books back on Earth.

I'm going to bed now, I've been reading all day. It's been a very boring look into the lives of something called "bem-mes". Maybe because they had a peaceful history without strife or accomplishments.. I hope this doesn't mean I'm hungry for stories about suffering, that would be very stereotypical of me as a human.
