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>The Sirens of Titan</h3> - <p> - Kurt Vonnegut books arent known for making very good movies but reguardless - <b>I need this one to be turned into a movie right now!</b> It has a surreal - almost dream like vibe like the army on the rusting metal surface of mars, - the beautiful landscape of titan, and a flavor of sci-fi that seems fitting - for the time it was written but strangely modern all at the same time. How - the fuck can a book have so much blunt foreshadowing yet leave you completely - unprepared for whats about to happen?! You must read this book. I will stage - an entire war if you dont, I will make you get into a rocket and fly to titan - if you dont. <b>You have to read this book!!!</b> - </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>The Children's Crusade</h3> - <p> - An anti-war book from the 60s? Already sounds based! Anyways if you read this - book you will become unstuck in time. Time doesnt move, we dont control time... - Everything is already planed out and we are just looking at one moment at a time. - Once you read this book you will instead see time for what it really is. - </p> - - <h3>Goodbye Blue Monday</h3> - <p> - This book starts out with a hand drawn picture of the authors asshole just - to prove a point. It continues to include hand drawn pictures of the most - random things throughout the book. What does the book say? I dont know - because I never read it... fooled you! You believed me for a second didnt - you? dumb ass! Well anyways, the book is about some dude who reads a sci-fi - book and thinks its real. You know the same thing happened to me when I watched - Star Wars for the first, second, and 10th time! Anyways, even though this book - is a fucking mess everyone should be required to read it. In some twisted way - you might learn a thing or two. - </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. - </p> - </td> - </tr> - </table> - </center> + <a href="index.html"><img src="images/back_home.png" alt= + "Back to home page"></a> + <center> + <table border="1" width="60%"> + <tr> + <td> + <h2>Why do a boring old person thing like read?</h2> + <p>I use to dislike reading because I thought reading was for boring + old people.
