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>1984</h3> + <p>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.<br /> + <br /> + 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.".<br /> + <br /> + <b>GO READ 1984 EVEN THOUGH YOU ALREADY READ IT IN HIGH + SCHOOL</b></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> +</body> +</html> |
