A well used book adds to the illusion that you read it.
illusion?
Specifically it, not a digital copy.
I don't buy books I don't intend to read
i never let myself put a book on the bookshelf if i hadn't read and finished it
If I am given books as a gift or inheritance, they usually end up in a box somewhere unless I've bothered to read them
even with things like the original copy of Mein Kampf and Bible
I buy real books I've read digitally.
that is what i do; nice to have a copy if i am on the go
but the majority of the time i read anymore, it's technical manuals
Haven't read a book in ages though. Mostly read online articles nowadays.
But I thought I'd brush up on my book reading now that I actually got "The Prince" by Niccolo Machiavelli for Christmas
reading to relax in the hammock requires a paperback
it just 'feels' different
Read hitlers tabletalk
Watch the greatest story never told
the orignal is EXTREMELY hard to understand
he was a mad man
Who?
the english translation just doesn't do it justice
Mein Kaempf - Adolf Hitler
Well what do you expect. Hitler was a failed artist.
Now artists are usually pretty nutty as it is. Imagine being a failed one with the added anxiety and insanity to the mix.
they take alot of liberties with translating the orignal, as if pondering an extreme of an idea is what one sets out to do
I used to be good at drawing myself. But I lost my touch and inspiration for it.
So nowadays, I too fanticize about putting annoying minorities into death camps for my own twisted amusement 😛
exactly; a failed artist
He was a great artist
put in charge of a nation of 'do it and don't make excuses why not'
Ironically arrogant jews at head of the school
As usual fucked things up for him
Because his style was too traditional
that isn't my take on what he was thinking when he wrote the words though
he uses the tense that indicates, "if they weren't here'
@lancelout When he signed the orders for the Final Solution, I bet he quitely thought to himself "That'll teach the jew devils to call my art mundane!"
A austrian failed artist having more concern for germany than most germans at the tjme <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
rather than "if we just kill them all"
we have ALL probably had even family we wish wouldn't be in our way or fuckin things up that we wanted at some point to 'go away'
