+ <h2>A few reviews I guess</h2>
+ <p>
+ <b>Warning, most of these are Kurt Vonnegut books.</b>
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles</h3>
+ <p>
+ A underrated masterpiece. A must read. This book is mind opening in so many ways
+ and will improve your life. Read it to your dog, your cat, your braindead
+ grandparents... Afterwards give the Whangdoodles in Whangdoodle land a visit
+ and tell them I said hihi. Its one of those childrens books that is strangely
+ enjoyable for all ages.
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>Cat's Cradle</h3>
+ <p>
+ Dont waste your time reading the fucking bible. Read Cat's Cradle instead.
+ Its a book with countless layers that all play into each other. Every detail
+ is important and meaningful even if its enteracting with the story on a
+ abstract level that doesnt show up at first. Cat's Cradle is the golden
+ example of how to write a story. It has a way of almost feeling like its
+ putting you in the middle of a historical event instead of simply telling
+ a fictional story. It has a tastefully dialectical natural that makes
+ every detail in the story work more like parts in a well tuned machine.
+ Cat's Cradle might even be your vin-dit into Bokononism.
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>Galapagos</h3>
+ <p>
+ Jesus be dammed, booked reviewers are harsh af on this masterpiece. Its
+ always shit like "I cant understand the small clever details and it doesnt
+ hold my hand and tell me everything in simple tv news approved words there
+ for its a bad book". This book does a good job putting down Social Darwmism
+ and explaining how evolution actually works. The way every detail connects
+ is just wonderful and the way it so very carefully frames every moment passing
+ by and choices what to bring into focus at any given moment. It has a way of
+ spending most of the book on just a few days worth of events yet going into
+ detail about the next one million years of humans. Its a work of absurb chaos
+ carefully looked at under a microscope.
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>Ready Player One</h3>
+ <p>
+ Its kind of a fucking mess of a book. Nothing about the story line itself is that
+ creative by any means and the character design is kind of flat, but just the
+ amount of details packed into it is insane. I dig the world building and just the
+ grand scale of it all. The movie puts it to shame. Unlike the movie the egg hunt
+ is actually difficult.
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>Animal Farm</h3>
+ <p>
+ Its a clever little book indeed. Had me laughing the entire time. Anyways,
+ <b>its not designed to be used entirely
+ as a anti-socialist book</b>. Think it through: so in the book the animal
+ revolution is a socialist revolution, the humans are the capital owning class,
+ the leaders who took control after the revolution was a pigs, years after the
+ revolution the pigs started walking and dressing like humans and they even
+ became friends with the humans. Aka revolution needs to put democracy first
+ or risk going back to square one. <b>If you read Animal Farm and think "the
+ animals should have just happily put every ounce of their geist into
+ working for the humans instead of rebelling" I have to ask: do you know
+ what stockholm syndrome is? You better call the doctor because you seem
+ to have it for the capital owning class.</b> Thinking in simple black
+ and white terms is a clear sign of mind control.
