I am reading the Gulag Archipelago.
I've never heard of it.
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?
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
Interesting
People who say "SIEGE is stupid and wants you to be a terrorist" are silly
And probably never read it either
interesting 🤔
