I try but cant read it

Which is a shame, because there were so many beautiful mini books

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_to_Young_Men_on_Greek_Literature

guys

the first book of all of greek mythology is Teogony, isnt it?

I'm about to buy a mini version of the Wizard of Oz

Could someone confirm it is not written fy a freemason or something lmao

"Baum was originally a Methodist, but he joined the Episcopal Church in Aberdeen to participate in community theatricals. Later, he and his wife were encouraged by Matilda Joslyn Gage to become members of the Theosophical Society in 1892. Baum's beliefs are often reflected in his writing. The only mention of a church in his Oz books is the porcelain one which the Cowardly Lion breaks in the Dainty China Country in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The Baums sent their older sons to "Ethical Culture Sunday School" in Chicago, which taught morality, not religion."

Good enough

>Theosophy

That shit was weird af, I don't know much about it but I get a sick feeling when I deal with theosophy books. Freemason stuff I pick up when I find it, even if it's creepy it's typically benign (anything shifty they have isn't accessible by lay members/turning up in used bookstores, most of Masonry is a faggy country club), I tend to give theosophical stuff a pass

Nothing wrong with collecting antique fiction though. Even if it's degenerate, the artistry of the book itself typically outweighs the content.

how bad is this

Read the first sentences, tries too hard to be poetic n' deep

So I've been reading Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment", I'm about half-way through it now (my reading has slowed a bit the last couple of weeks, but I expect to finish the book by September). Does anybody have any suggestions for what to read next? I'm thinking of "Path to Rome", Hilaire Belloc, or "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", trans. J.R.R. Tolkien.

What's everybody else reading?

I am reading the Gulag Archipelago.

I've never heard of it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gulag_Archipelago

I'll have a look, thank you.

I have the book (got it for free at a volunteer job, long story) but what translation is the best? I have the Sterner (?) translation

As for Currently reading, I recently finished "Costly Call" which is a series of Moslem converts to Christianity, it is published by Voice of Martyrs, so it has an evangelical bent to it. I also have been reading Wilmhurst's book "The Meaning of Masonry" and so far it delves down into the occult meaning and practice behind every Masonic ritual. Know thy enemy.

I'll have to look into them.

Also, is your first statement and question about "Crime and Punishment" or "The Gulag Archipelago"?

Gulag Archipelago

I forgot to mention, the G.A. is written in a series

and there's 4 parts to them

Good to know.

I also got 10 books within the past 3 weeks

and recently started another Turtledove book

I listened to Gulag Archipelago. very interesting

Does anyone know if John's Chrysosom homilies against the jews are published somewhere

?

Are they not on New Advent?

I mean physically, I don't know if they are on NA

Are they part of any of his collections of homilies?

St. Vlads might have them

Or spiritual fragrance publishing

@Deleted User Hesiod's Theogony is one of the earliest written ones, and is also the chronological start. He was contemporary with Homer, but I don't know who would actually be first. Of course, both worked from previous oral traditions or nonsurviving written works. Are you trying to read every known work on Greek mythology in order?

I'm making my way through a William Faulkner short story collection. Much better at novels, in my opinion. Also started reading Native Son because I had it lying around for a while.

Thanks for the answer

I want to read the main ones in order

Theohony, Illyad, Odissey, Etc

I found the Odyssey totally overrated.

The Iliad is great.

Is Siege gay?

It's silly.

I don't know why traditional Christians idolise it.

My friend tried getting me to read it, I'm just like "naw I'm not into that nazi stuff"

Cut through the fat and there is wisdom within it

The idolisation of Manson is silly, but an objective look of what Manson wanted to accomplish - a commune of 144,000 people independent of the society which surrounds it - is admirable. In the same way, the idolisation of a terrorist is silly, but the lesson to take away is that the social fabric can't be reformed through conventional methods, and Tomassi knew this. So he bombed people instead. The objective look at this is overturning corrupt society, which is admirable

@Skeez

Interesting

People who say "SIEGE is stupid and wants you to be a terrorist" are silly

And probably never read it either

Time to see what the fuss is about.

interesting 🤔

Already very anti-socialist straight out of the gate.

I'm highlighting phrases, will send an exhaustive list when I'm done.

Just bought this, apparently it's remarkably impartial.

Just finished Think Like Da Vinci by Peter Holins. It's got some good ideas in it and is an easy read.

Just started Atomic Habits by James Clear this morning. The opening was really good. Hope the rest of the book builds on it.

@Arkona 92 I love Turtledove's Southern Victory series and just picked up his Hot War trilogy.

@neovindex what book did you start with the Southern Victory Series?

What is Atomic Habits about?

As for the Hot War trilogy, there's a 3rd book?

@Arkona 92 I actually started at the begining, How Few Remain.

Yes, Hot War is a trilogy now -
Bombs Away 2015
Fallout 2016
Armistice 2017

I read a few excerpts already from Atomic Habits and utilized some of those changes. The book looks like it adds more ideas.

@neovindex how few remain is the 2nd book out of 5

We must not be reading the same series or did he add after the "Settling Accounts"?

I am tracking 11 books, 1 prequel, 2 trilogies, and 1 Tetralogy

How few renain
The great war trilogy
The Anerican Empire Trilogy
Settling Accounts Tetralogy

Guns of the South is not part of this timeline.

https://turtledove.fandom.com/wiki/Southern_Victory

Guns of the South is apart of the timeline

It sets the stage

Then it goes
How Few Remain
And Great War series

Tipping the balance are different series

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Victory?wprov=sfla1

I think someone gave you wrong info. Or maybe my writing isn't translating right.

Southern Victory (Timeline 191) is an 11 book series which branches when Orfer 191 is not found by the Union.

Guns of the South is about Lee getting modern day rifles and separate from Southern Victory.

He also wrote a Civil War series where people are set in Medieval times. And it's separate from both S.V. and GotS.

As shown in the above links

I got the info from one of those sites

It may have been 7 years ago

When I saw that

Because they definitely listed 11 books and GOTS was on top

Also
Every book I own always started with GOTS as the first in the Southern Victory Series

I don't know. GotS deals with some Afrikaners who time travel back to help Lee with modern rifles.

There aren't any Afrikeners in SV or time travel.

Are you referring to the spot on the upper right part of books that say "Author of Guns of the South"? He is the author of GotS

I Know who he is, I've read 6 books of him

I'm just saying that guns sets up the details for the southern Victory series

Not sure how. There are no Afrikaners, time travel in SV, the prologue of both How Few Remain and the Great War book The American Front repeat the Order 191 scene.

But no worries. As long as you enjoyed the books you have read.

Anyone have some good recommendations for books on Rome? Preferably non-cucked sources please.

Also, started this book recently. It’s pretty good so far

Sorry for the poor lighting

I've heard Mary Beard is good on Rome

She has written S.P.Q.R. which is a general history of Rome

Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon

Pick it up unabridged, waste a month of sleepless nights like a real man

Alrighty

Thanks

I’ll give those a look

Roman Honor by Carlin Barton is pretty good. Brett Mckay recommended it before and I like it so far.

Sick

Thanks man

I’ll add that to the list

Unrelated but Chronicles of Narnia turns out to be a good book series when learning a language
