Why do a boring old person thing like read?

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

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?

A few reviews I guess

Warning, most of these are Kurt Vonnegut books. I really - need to try more authors rofl.

The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
