I am reading the Gulag Archipelago.

2019-05-24 00:37:09 UTC  

I've never heard of it.

2019-05-24 00:40:13 UTC  

I'll have a look, thank you.

2019-05-24 07:02:17 UTC  

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

2019-05-24 07:07:51 UTC  

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.

2019-05-24 07:10:17 UTC  

I'll have to look into them.

2019-05-24 07:11:04 UTC  

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

2019-05-24 07:12:08 UTC  

Gulag Archipelago

2019-05-24 07:12:31 UTC  

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

2019-05-24 07:12:36 UTC  

and there's 4 parts to them

2019-05-24 07:13:11 UTC  

Good to know.

2019-05-24 07:19:36 UTC  

I also got 10 books within the past 3 weeks

2019-05-24 07:19:48 UTC  

and recently started another Turtledove book

2019-05-24 20:38:42 UTC  

I listened to Gulag Archipelago. very interesting

2019-05-25 18:45:01 UTC  

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

2019-05-25 18:45:02 UTC  

?

2019-05-25 18:46:53 UTC  

Are they not on New Advent?

2019-05-25 18:47:15 UTC  

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

2019-05-25 18:47:37 UTC  

Are they part of any of his collections of homilies?

2019-05-25 18:52:10 UTC  

St. Vlads might have them

2019-05-25 18:52:39 UTC  

Or spiritual fragrance publishing

2019-05-28 23:10:45 UTC  

@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?

2019-05-28 23:12:52 UTC  

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.

2019-05-29 21:52:08 UTC  

Thanks for the answer

2019-05-29 21:52:38 UTC  

I want to read the main ones in order

2019-05-29 21:52:51 UTC  

Theohony, Illyad, Odissey, Etc

2019-05-29 23:00:49 UTC  

I found the Odyssey totally overrated.

2019-05-29 23:00:58 UTC  

The Iliad is great.

2019-05-29 23:56:19 UTC  

Is Siege gay?

2019-05-30 00:27:44 UTC  

It's silly.

2019-05-30 00:28:06 UTC  

I don't know why traditional Christians idolise it.

2019-05-30 00:35:19 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 01:17:30 UTC  

Cut through the fat and there is wisdom within it

2019-05-30 01:19:52 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 01:36:45 UTC  

Interesting

2019-05-30 01:37:40 UTC  

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

2019-05-30 01:37:55 UTC  

And probably never read it either

2019-06-03 20:51:18 UTC  

Time to see what the fuss is about.
