Ummm right... so...... Books?

For people who liked 'The Road' I would heartily recommend 'Riddley Walker' by Russel Hoban.

You have to stick with it.... it takes a few pages before you can understand what the words mean, but by the end of the book you are reading at normal speed. Then you pick up another book and go ' What the hell?'

I did like the Road but Riddley Walker did not engage me. Never finished it.

Like I was saying (before I was rudely interrupted by a queer agenda), it's all happened before, many times over.

I'm the opposite) I like whatever Walker have written , but The Road is boring for me...

Man I really need to learn finishing one book before starting another, but somehow I'm busy with three books at the moment, all which, though I don't necessarily agree with the philosophies espoused in these books, I found interesting reads (at least up until the point where I am now).

Leo Tolstoy - War and Peace
Karl Marx - Manifesto of the Communist Party
Jordan Peterson - Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief

[the delgados]

Blizted--Norman Ohler.
A truly fascinating account by a historian of drug use in Nazi Germany.
The guy goes into great detail about how an entire country got hooked on methamphetamines (aka crystal myth).
Everyone from the highest ranking military officer to your everyday housewife, student, doctor, janitor, etc.
Basically, drugs were responsible for the Blitzkrieg.

I get what you're saying. However, this might be better brought up in the Clinic?

Just so you don't get yourself banned, or anything like that.

Ha! Nice one.
But no, I'm not goofing around. The book is a real page-turner.
