Paradise Lost In Space by Colin Swash will save you several hours worth of tedium.
May be speaking too soon but I didn't find the first book tedious at all in fact i really enjoyed it.
i know big words and long sentences are hard for many but not for me
Lovecraft
Dramacrat
It's the jewish nonsense that does it.
Terrible stuff, gets absolutely everywhere.
i listened to hg wells' the food of the gods and finished it yesterday
the best part of the book was the experimental farm with the giant chickens getting loose and one snatching a child and running down the street. 10/10 writing. the rest abt giant children n such was decent but not nearly as entertaining as the image in my head of when one of my chickens gets a bug and runs off being chased by the others. but mentally replacing said bug with a small shrieky person.
i today began baudrillard's simulacra and simulation
it's lovely. and it reframes some other things i've read. namely, francaviglia's main street revisited. which is about how small towns the central focus being the 'main street' of shops that, before the building of cars, was the predominant location for the post office, grocery shop, clothing shop, etc. all closely built together and cozy.
and i thought of my trip to disneyland and disneyworld and how the idea of main street has been heavily romanticized there by walt himself.
Thank you for taking only 2 weeks and 4 days to reply. Your desire to do it so expeditiously is impressive.
i was sick in bed a few of those days
received zero bowls of soup from you, zero well-wishes, and zero forehead kisses
you get the effort you deserve

Camus can do
But Sartre is Smartre
Excellent book
Rundown is that the father is a notorious treasure hunter and burieds himself and his entire wealth in some tropical area, then challenges his sons via vhs tape to find his tomb and claim their inheritance
Book has very interesting ways of painting the villians, making you kind of wish they win to a certain extent
It does have pretty gruesome detail about the jungle and has horrible deaths, definitely not a happy book by any means
Would recommend 9/10
"13 Reasons Why" was a good read. I don't plan on watching the show. Heavy stuff.
The Book of Mormon
I cannot recommend it. Poorly written fiction. No characters you want to root for.

listened to another david enrich book "servants of the damned" about how law firms became corporate whores, with the primary focus being on jones day. the tactics used by said law firms and the disgust generated is actually rather repulsive. namely, subpoena'ing and burying the defensive attorney in a shitload of unnecessary paperwork to increase their own billable hours for their corporate client in lawsuit cases, so they can interview ppl who knew the person doing the suing 20 years ago for the sake of slandering them in the courtroom somehow.
one of the jones day lawyers, mcgahn, is a member of the federalist society and was hired on by trump during the 2015 rallies and primaries. after trump was elected mcgahn stacked all the empty judge positions countrywide with jones day cronies, some of whom were not qualified for the position, or unbiased. just have to be part of the neocon sucky fucky club.
jones day also had a bitch in charge of the doj during the trump presidency who nixed and delayed lawsuits that texas was trying to file against wal-mart for the role their pharmacy played in the opioid epidemic ("just fill the script, it doesn't matter"). as walmart is a jones day client, and the revolving door between "regulator of _____" and "executive/attorney of ____" spins faster than a plane propeller
after i finished that book, i next read fancy bear goes phishing, which outlines some different but very prominent hacks, mixed with some computer history and at the conclusion some steps that could be taken (but never will) to increase nationwide cybersecurity
the hacks are the robert morris worm, bulgaria's computer virus farm, the paris hilton t-mobile leak, the dnc hack (honored in the book title), and the ddos of hypixel.
i fucking love that russian gov's elite hacker groups are "cozy bear" and "fancy bear"
like... how am i supposed to be mad if "cozy bear" steals my data? i can't
starting kevin mitnick's "the art of invisibility" tomorrow
