One that often gets talked about as really excellent that I really didn't like is "100 years of solitude". I'm curious what you liked about it, because every time I ask people it feels like they read a totally different book than me. The story came off as very anti-human agency, very life-denying. I also thought all the incest and libertarianism and shit eating was really gross.

I really enjoyed it, it was so fun to read :marseyreading:

It felt very engaging from start to finish, it's probably one of my favorite books

BNW is boring as frick

1984 might be a bit longer than it should but it has amazing writing in certain excerpts

I somewhat disagree on this. Orwell's idea might seem a bit trite now but didn't he essentially introduce them to public consciouness?

I get what BNW point was but the writing was so bad I had to force myself to finish reading it.

Soma is just goyslop and BNW is a more feasible type of dystopia.

Have you read Orwell? Very much the same thing with people accepting Big Brother into their heart.

I know it's a meme but 1984 is genuinely a good book for it's time

>He doesn't evaluate books in their historical context

1984 was much more relevant when it was written, considering the author's involvement with Spanish revolutionaries etc. It very well described the action of commies despite the author not being directly exposed to them. It was a very good book for it's time

Oh, I don't argue against that. I just think that BNW describes better what we could be heading to, genetic engineering included.

I like that they didn't even bother dividing it into the Old and New Testament. Maybe they were worried one of them would get left off? :marseysmirk:

It's also pretty telling that it's the only scripture on there. No Qur'an, no Bhagavad Gita, no Pāḷi Tipiṭaka... Just the Bible. :marseyjerkoffsmile:

The Tao Te Ching is on there. I think the Bible absolutely warrants inclusion, but I agree it should be split (possibly even into individual books)

C&P holds a special place in my heart because it was the first big boy literature book I read when I was 18

It's been over a decade and the way dostoevski described raskolnikov's anguish after the murders is still imprinted in my brain

I was the same age the first time I read C&P. What stood strongly in my head was the description of the yellow paperwall on Raskolnikov's apartment, there was something malevolent on that which I could never explain but ever since I associate mental illness to the color yellow. And the dream sequence when Raskolnikov remembers the brute mujik beating a sickly horse to death, it was straight out of a horror story.
