after I got burned a few times I make sure the author of all my non-fiction is male before I read

I read it at age 17 and really enjoyed it. It left an impression on me. At any age older than that I wouldn't bother.

Catch-22 being my favorite

Attached: IMG_20190118_160002.jpg (4032x3024, 3.8M)

Reading Decline of the West by Spengler. Recently read Storm of Steel by Ernst Junger (excellent) and Life at the Bottom by Theodore Dalrymple (also excellent).

i read Catch-22 and liked it but i feel like either it is over hyped or maybe i just didnt understand some deeper meaning behind it

Clean your room

It perfectly encapsulates the absurdity of bureaucracy and organizations. The notion of the Catch-22 fits today where you can't dictate you're insane because it shows you're self-aware enough to be sane; fits a lot of the mental gymnastic pardoxes that exist now.

Damn dog hair comes back everyday

Jordy B. in the HOUSE? WAT?

You know,Buck Henry’s screenplay for the film I liked even better. Found more prescient for the modern world. While Heller’s book focused on beauracracy and the futility of war, the film expanded on the theme of corporatism. Knowing the war was one, corporations, as personified by Milo, started dividing up the world. Bombing their own base in exchange for trading rights with the Germans. Milo’s speech to Yossarian in the Jeep being particularly chilling.

just some of the collection, thoughts?

How was the book by Albert Speer?

I liked it a lot. Goes into his life from kid to adult, the Nazi party and his role in it and the workings of the Party in general. His role of Minister of Armaments and War Production. How he plotted to kill Hitler and other figures in the Party and his losing of faith in Hitler and the Nazis.

I've tried reading 2666 three times. I know it's good but the first section is so slow it kills me. Nice rack overall.

It is a tough book to get into. Its not for everyone.

Mhm. I supected it was an elaborate attempt by him to white wash himself, after he so thoroughly sold out to the allies. That he painted them more demonic than they were to paint himself more white vested than he actually was. It comes off that way. Joachim Fest also wrote that Speer had manipulated him in the interviews for his Hitler biography

Kek. Kill yourself faggot

Currently reading The man in the high castle by PKD. More cucked than I thought, but I haven't gotten far.

Audiobooks are great because you can listen to them while performing menial tasks like buying groceries, cooking, doing the dishes or ironing. Or if you've a blue collar job that allows for it.

It definitely felt like he tried to make himself look better after the fact but the Nuremberg Trials was 100% a witch hunt. Though Speer did hide his crimes at the trials. Either way regardless if he was a monster or just a guy going along with things the book was a nice read. I do think he made himself seem better than what he was.

How did he end up there?

If I learned one thing from Nuremberg and Operation Clip it is that you have to make yourself invaluable. von Braun had 10,000 slave laborers of whom many died, but it didn't matter. Laws are for the plebs.

I really dont remember user im sorry. I only recall it seemed bootleg or maybe a cheap mass market version that was cheap for schools to buy. It had a plain paper cover that said in plain text Mein Kampf that the teacher had the students grab off the shelf and put back when class was done
