The Experimental Log of The Crazy Lich by Angry Squirrel

It's a combination of xuanhuan, comedy, and political drama. Keep in mind that it's looong - I've been reading it since March, finished 215 chapters out of 841

I'm reading how to blow up a pipeline by Andreas Malm, I'd recommend it.

"Seeing like a state". It could be half the length without losing anything, but it's a very interesting perspective on states and central planning that I haven't thought about before and am enjoying.

Just finished the A Land Fit For Heroes trilogy by Richard K. Morgan and it was badass.

Rereading Berserk Manga(it's a book😤)

Kangaroo apocrypts.

Yes. They are fun. BUY THE KANGAROOS! JOIN THE A-SOCIAL NETWORK! Spread the Jo-jos!

The Stand by Stephen King.

It's over 1200 pages long and I have always been scared of anything above six hundred pages.

It's so good. It's taking me a long time, but it's worth it. As always, Stephen King never let's you down. I just love his writing.

I just finished The Hair Carpet Weavers by Andreas Eschbach. One of the best first chapters I've read in a long time. Really interesting scifi book that I couldn't put down.

im reading slobberknocker by jim ross. very interesting behind the scenes of the wrestling business

Driving directions to your mom's house. 🥁

I'm on book 3 of the Stormlight Archive series by Brandon Sanderson. It's fantasy, it's weird in a lot of ways, but it's well written for the most part and enjoyable to read. It feels like reading an unfolding story of people in a parallel universe where things are half the same and half completely alien and different, but to them, it's commonplace, and I like that.

Project Hail Mary Andy wier returns to the roots of The Martian. Also, movie is coming next spring about it.

Dark Matter Some deep physics stuff occurs, but the story can be followed with no knowledge of super position. Also released as a mini series on some streaming channel

I reread 1984, Animal Farm and Farenheight 451 recently, for no particular reason, but they are more accurate and depressing than ever about current events.

Highly recommended. But be prepared to be angry or depressed.

If you like science fiction, I just finished reading Semiosis by Sue Burke. A story about colonists starting a new life on the planet Pax and their alliances with sentient indigenous plant species. A really great read ! EDIT : grammar

Finally got around to the Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan and it's more relevant than ever. It absolutely predicted the world we're in politically now and has some insight and analysis as to how and why and what to do to help. Definitely worth a read or reread if you haven't read it or it's been a while.

Repurposing most of a comment from earlier in the day where someone asked about learning about the Jesus Myth theory that Jesus was originally a heavinly figure and only got turned into a guy with an earthly ministry decades later. This is well supported by the evidence in texts from the start of christianity (epistles, Dead Sea Scrolls).

The Jesus Puzzle, by Earl Doherty. He gets criticized because he’s not a trained scholar, but his work remains compelling and Robert M Price endorses him. I really enjoyed this one.

The Amazing Colossal Apostle - The Search for the Historical Paul, by Robert M Price. He’s a former Baptist minister with multiple degrees in the field, a true expert. He has a bunch of published YouTube interviews talking about these topics as well.

Quick warning: RMP is a Trump supporter. That makes sense. Ministers are rightwing. Coming from believing to realizing that the Bible is a collection of stories rather than history doesn’t necessarily change your politics. He mostly never mentions it, but it’s come out a couple of times in videos. Luckily, he doesn’t say anything further about it. The book is phenominal.

And, if you still want to consider Jeses to be a historical figure, I loved this controversial piece: The Passover Plot, by Hugh J. Schonfield. This book assumes that Jesus was a real apocalyptic Jew who truly believed that he was the messiah and who brilliantly engineered the conditions to fulfill prophecy. It’s a great read. If Jesus was a historical figure, this is the version of him that I think is most likely.

I am currently reading Marcion and the Dating of the Synoptic Gospels, by Markus Vinzent. I’m enjoying it a lot. Marcion was the first “heretic” for his view that Paul was the only apostle who understood the true message: that the creator god of the Jews was a lesser god, which is why there is evil in the world, and Jesus's god would adopt us.
