+* Why do a boring old person thing like read?
+   :PROPERTIES:
+   :CUSTOM_ID: why-do-a-boring-old-person-thing-like-read
+   :END:
+I use to dislike reading because I thought reading was for boring old
+people. It turned out I was correct, reading is for boring old people.
+Than I became a boring old person, so now I read.
+
+* How to find a good book
+   :PROPERTIES:
+   :CUSTOM_ID: how-to-find-a-good-book
+   :END:
+The more questons that answer with yes the more likely it is that the
+book is worth a read:
+
++ Do christians dislike the book?
++ Did a school board in florida or texas try to ban it?
++ Is the author mentally insane?
++ Did a German dude write it?
++ Do book reviewers struggle to wrap their tiny brains around it?
+
+* Reading list

+* A few reviews I guess
+   :PROPERTIES:
+   :CUSTOM_ID: reviews
+   :END:
+*Warning, most of these are Kurt Vonnegut books.* I really need to try
+more authors rofl.
+
+** The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles
+    :PROPERTIES:
+    :CUSTOM_ID: the-last-of-the-really-great-whangdoodles
+    :END:
+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.
+
+** Cat's Cradle
+    :PROPERTIES:
+    :CUSTOM_ID: cats-cradle
+    :END:
+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.
+
+** The Sirens of Titan
+    :PROPERTIES:
+    :CUSTOM_ID: the-sirens-of-titan
+    :END:
+Kurt Vonnegut books arent known for making very good movies but
+reguardless *I need this one to be turned into a movie right now!* 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.
+*You have to read this book!!!*
+
+** Galapagos
+    :PROPERTIES:
+    :CUSTOM_ID: galapagos
+    :END:
+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.
+
+** The Children's Crusade
+    :PROPERTIES:
+    :CUSTOM_ID: the-childrens-crusade
+    :END:
+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.
+
+** Goodbye Blue Monday
+    :PROPERTIES:
+    :CUSTOM_ID: goodbye-blue-monday
+    :END:
+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.
+
+** Ready Player One
+    :PROPERTIES:
+    :CUSTOM_ID: ready-player-one
+    :END:
+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.
+
+** 1984
+    :PROPERTIES:
+    :CUSTOM_ID: nineteen-eighty-four
+    :END:
+This book is part of something I call the "read it in high school
+effect". The best way to keep people brainwashed without causing a
+uprising is to make them read these kinds of books while at the sametime
+making sure they dont understand them. High schoolers being forced to
+read books wait until last second to read it than skim through it
+carelessly, watch the movie and pretend they read it, flat out dont read
+it at all, find a article online summarizing it, use chatgpt to do their
+home work... the only kids who actually do their work correctly in high
+school are the ones loyal enough to know the truth while still being
+loyal supporters of our corrupt society just like the inner party
+members in 1984. Years later no one remembers what they read in high
+school and only remember what they are told they read. No one wants to
+reread a book they were forced to read in high school. Lucky for me I
+was home schooled and got to read it based off actual interest.\\
+\\
+I know what your about to say "You are a socialist so you clearly didn't
+understand 1984". I have a quote from 1984 for you "... the Party
+rejects and vilifies every principle for which the Socialist movement
+originally stood, and it chooses to do this in the name of
+Socialism.".\\
+\\
+*GO READ 1984 EVEN THOUGH YOU ALREADY READ IT IN HIGH SCHOOL*
+
+** Animal Farm
+    :PROPERTIES:
+    :CUSTOM_ID: animal-farm
+    :END:
+Its a clever little book indeed. Had me laughing the entire time.
+Anyways, *its not designed to be used entirely as a anti-socialist
+book*. 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. *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.* Thinking in
+simple black and white terms is a clear sign of mind control.
