+                    <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.
