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 01:21:18 UTC  
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.

2019-06-03 21:02:52 UTC  

interesting 🤔

2019-06-03 21:10:38 UTC  

Already very anti-socialist straight out of the gate.

2019-06-03 21:11:00 UTC  

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

Just bought this, apparently it's remarkably impartial.

2019-06-07 11:41:45 UTC  

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.

2019-06-07 17:47:33 UTC  

@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?

2019-06-07 20:24:02 UTC  

@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.
