<h2>Why do a boring old person thing like read?</h2>
<p>
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.
</p>
<h2>How to find a good book</h2>
<p>
The more questons that answer with yes the more likely it is that the book is
worth a read:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Do christians dislike the book?</li>
<li>Did a school board in florida or texas try to ban it?</li>
<li>Is the author mentally insane?</li>
<li>Do book reviewers struggle to wrap their head around it?</li>
</ul>

<h2>A few reviews I guess</h2>
<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.
