Finshed this book 2 weeks ago. It was a very good read. I can only recommend it to everyone. Made me a bit sad though. I think the situation is basically non-fixable at this point and it's only going to get worse.

Next up...

In book 4 now. Not bad but not really good either. I haven't read Homer yet (planning to soon) but I guess there must be a reason why Homers epics are much better known than this one. I find it a bit difficult to follow the plot with all the Gods and their sub plots in it.

Virgil’s Aeneid was more popular than Homer during the Renaissance, interestingly enough, but that flipped from the Enlightenment onward. Still had a massive influence on the world as it is today though!

Halfway through... Sheeeeiiiiitttt... Given that Peterson talks so much about this one I expected the story to be wild but I honestly didn't expect it to be this brutal.

Finished this one the other day and can only recommend it. We are always so focused on the dangers for rightwing policies that we completely forget about the dangers of the left wing. Everyone should read this. Wild stuff.

Anyway, after wrapping it up I picked up a book that has been in my collection for a long, long time. Back from my early days when I started reading nonfiction books.

It's really funny. I distinctly remember liking it back in the day. But now, after having read real philosophy, I find this book to be almost unreadable. Like the fast food version of the real stuff.
But I do think these books have their place as to get people into reflecting about their lives and actions. Just like Osha or Rhonda Byrne.

I feel like the only person who didn’t have this as required reading in school. I’m not sure why it’s in classrooms but I did really like it. Will fire up the movie tomorrow too.

After finishing I finally decided to pick up this one..

You will never be the same after reading that book. And be sure to finish it - I say that because the vast majority of people can’t bring themselves to finish due to the horrors of human nature that it exposes, coupled with the fact that something so horrific happened and very few know about it.

I try to reread The Creature From Jekyll Island every other year. It's a must read about the crimes of central banking.

Finished this one last evening. Like I said, I was not impressed. Some good messages wrapped in a rather cringy story.

Now up to another classic I wanted to read for a long time:

Started a Margaret atwood sci fi book the other day, oynx and drake. Didn't realize it's a trilogy though...might back burner that one.

Put the last dark tower book down about halfway through. Man, why do I do that! Read 8 books and then get to the 9th and not finish.

I guess I like edging books.

Dungeon Crawler Carl series, started book 7. It's good. For a gamer, must read!

Been reading Discworld's - Reaper Man

Terry Pratchett was a brilliant man.

Mort is my GOAT and Small Gods was also great.
