NOTHING BECAUSE MY KINDLE STOPPED CHARGING
I was reading this rightoid slop 'Berserkers, Cannibals & Shamans: Essays in Dissident Anthropology' which had some interesting tidbits but was pretty surface-level, especially having just finished reading Spengler
It has some pretty good arguments for Nuking The Entire Third World in there

Wouldn't call it slop, but "The Princess Bride" is my comfy book of choice when I'm sick

I'm about halfway through The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of the East India Company. Good book, stand out primary source was when a mughal historian is amazed at European women not being covered in thick body hair.

Still Shadow of the Torturer because I have zero time to read.
How the frick did Severian survive the duel with Agilus? Feels like some gay-butt deus ex machina. If it's explained later tell me when.
Also this neighbor falls in love way too easily.

It's already been explained indirectly but it's also explained more explicitly in the last book.

It's that gem they stole from that cult, isn't it? That's so fricking contrived.

Reading Annihilate by Houllebecq. Almost 200 pages in, pretty good so far.
He captures the current zeitgeist pretty well.

What does the oracle has to say on his latest book?

A lot of commentary instead of predictions so far. The main character is a middle-aged man in a failing sexless marriage who through interactions with his family and boss notices how his parent's generation seemed happier and more well adjusted, while zoomers are sexless and somehow even more screwed up than him.
His dad is a chad who enjoyed building stuff and managed to find himself a lovely woman after his wife died
His younger brother is a huge beta whose wife adopted a black kid to virtue signal
His younger sister is a tradwife with a
husband, both vote for 
His boss is also a middle-aged man in a collapsing marriage, with two kids who he describes as asexual, despite one of them being gay
Him and his wife are trying to repair their marriage after spending a decade co-habitating but not really talking to each other.

You read any of his earlier books? I read submission and loved it but can't figure out which to get next.

I read submission, serotonin and extension de domaine da lutte or however it's spelled.
Submission and serotonin are pretty similar imo, both are enjoyable but you might get a bit burned out. I think submission is the most remarkable of the two as well.
Extension... is some deep black pill incel tier book, even more so than his other books, it's good and pretty short too. I think it won't be as shocking as it would be to a normie if you're already exposed to esoteric incel knowledge through the internet.
I'm also really liking annihilate, I read another ~80 pages this weekend and the setting is very interesting so far.

The Count of Monte Cristo is holding me like no book has in a while. Normally my attention span is atrocious but I'll sit down with it and crush 100+ pages easily. I know the basic gist of the story but I'm loving to read it play out

My co-worker gave this book called "Brave companions" which is a series of short chapters detailing the various exploits of historically important people.
It's been fun so far, the lack of cynicism makes it feel so quaint, but in a good way. You can tell it was written before this century.
I heard one of the other supervisors is gonna put this guy on a PIP, so I need to finish the book before we fire him lol

Currently reading the last samurai helen dewitt about an Oxford grad who gets knocked up by some famous writer and decides to raise the kid on her own. Really funny book because how hilariously awful the woman is as a parent and person. Also rereading Patrica highsmith found in the streets which for like the hundredth time.
