Saw this one and HAD to buy it @Post Ironic

Wanted it for my little girl cousin, but now that i read it myself, i'm not sure anymore. Too creepy

But still better than the Disneyfied fairytales i guess.

Might as well give her a copy of The Bloody Chamber

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Are you me? Or am I you?

I bought this same book for one of my little nieces, but realized it probably is a little too creepy for a 6 year old. I'll wait a year or two to give it to her. It's a beautiful book.

Angela Carter is great. Infernal Desire Machines of Dr Hoffman is one of my favourite books to this day.

My God, trying to traumatize kids. You get your nieces sweet cute shit, not scarring material!

I'm planning to read many books this year.

But every time I plan something, something will surely go wrong.

You must have skipped the part where we both said that we think it's too creepy to give it to them already

That's what fairytales used to be there for though, to show the kids that not everything in life is sweet cute shit.

Who wants to turn their nieces into little invalid princesses. I'd much prefer if they become wild and adventurous little bohemians.

All good yo. Inshallah I will have triplets of daughters and they'll have daddy's left, 1 will be a Olympic gold medalist boxer, another future head general of somalia and the other president. Will have 2 sons who will rule neighboring nations and north America.

I will have two daughters I train as Hashashin, to assassinate tyrants like your children.

I will have two daughters and i'll give them enough pokeballs to catch all your kids.

Any good non-fiction recommendations?

Decided on this

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Okay scratch that ^

Still looking for something good

 

[DAiDEViL]

Why has it to be non-fiction though?

Normally I like to read about a subject that I want to gain more knowledge on

But I'm fed up of looking so I'd take a good fiction now. I'm just not too keen on fantasy

Already started Marcus Aurelius' Meditations.

why did you scratch the book you posted above? what's wrong with it?

I forgot that I had already downloaded and begun to read it before. But I decided to give it another go.

So I read like the first 10% of it, which was further than I reached the first time. It was interesting at first, but then became repetitive. Then I looked at the table of contents to see if there was anything more to look forward to. There wasn't.

It seems to be generally highly rated, but too much about God, the Godhead and the Divine Ground for my liking.
