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> +</div> +</div> +<div id="outline-container-cats-cradle" class="outline-3"> +<h3 id="cats-cradle"><span class="section-number-3">4.2.</span> Cat's Cradle</h3> +<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-cats-cradle"> +<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> +</div> +</div> +<div id="outline-container-the-sirens-of-titan" class="outline-3"> +<h3 id="the-sirens-of-titan"><span class="section-number-3">4.3.</span> The Sirens of Titan</h3> +<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-the-sirens-of-titan"> +<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> +</div> +</div> +<div id="outline-container-galapagos" class="outline-3"> +<h3 id="galapagos"><span class="section-number-3">4.4.</span> Galapagos</h3> +<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-galapagos"> +<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> +</div> +</div> +<div id="outline-container-the-childrens-crusade" class="outline-3"> +<h3 id="the-childrens-crusade"><span class="section-number-3">4.5.</span> The Children's Crusade</h3> +<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-the-childrens-crusade"> +<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> +</div> +</div> +<div id="outline-container-goodbye-blue-monday" class="outline-3"> +<h3 id="goodbye-blue-monday"><span class="section-number-3">4.6.</span> Goodbye Blue Monday</h3> +<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-goodbye-blue-monday"> +<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> +</div> +</div> +<div id="outline-container-ready-player-one" class="outline-3"> +<h3 id="ready-player-one"><span class="section-number-3">4.7.</span> Ready Player One</h3> +<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-ready-player-one"> +<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> +</div> +</div> +<div id="outline-container-nineteen-eighty-four" class="outline-3"> +<h3 id="nineteen-eighty-four"><span class="section-number-3">4.8.</span> 1984</h3> +<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-nineteen-eighty-four"> +<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> +</div> +</div> +<div id="outline-container-animal-farm" class="outline-3"> +<h3 id="animal-farm"><span class="section-number-3">4.9.</span> Animal Farm</h3> +<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-animal-farm"> +<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> +</div> +</div> +</div> +</td></tr></table> +<div id="postamble" class="status"> +<p class="creator"><a href="https://shittyweb.org"><img src="images/nsw_banner.png" alt="NSW" /></a></p> +</div> +</center> +</body> +</html> |
