Forza!

Buddenbrooks?

The most Russian German novelist tbh

report back

Nope. I'm reading Der Erwählte.

Btw, there's some facebook group for literature (my tongue lang) and there was some question to answer about paths we crossed. Winner would get Buddenbrooks and one book from Andric. I won it! Those books are supposed to arrive tomorrow probably, I was so haaaappy! I didn't have them, obviously. I also had birthday this month and, since people know what I care about, I received 10 books. All were from my wishlist so shortly all are amazing books.

Gives me hope that there are people with an independent brain. Even nicer that you are a Juve fan. Irving did a service for history.

this gives people cancer

Began with "A Month in the Country" from Ivan Turgenev

That sounds interesting. Let me know how it is. You read Conquistador by Buddy Levy?

@Völler The Fifth Sun - recommended. But if you've read Conquistador there's probably a lot of the same information, though this one is more of a Mexica (Aztec) perspective.

October is always a month when publishers give quite big discounts. Im making a list and thinking about stealing money.

I was not expecting holocaust denial and Hitler apologism when i came to this thread But expect everything in Tuz, i guess

On a more related note, i finally got around to reading Sapiens! Halfway through now; Its really interesting and fun so far!

You call it "holocaust denial" it's just a BS label..you been reading many one sided books printed by the powers that be, or been watching too many Hollywood bullshit movies and I'm the one living 5 mins from plastic Hollywood. At any rate money and power cant and won't change history in the end.
Doesnt matter whatever stand one takes it's at least good to have an open mind and read both sides. Or you can keep roaming with the sheep.

I'm an Arab Muslim that's lived most of his life in the Middle East. Don't let the user name fool you haha. I'm as far from the liberal Hollywood types as you can get. Where i come from, holocaust denial and even apologism is not uncommon.
With that being said though, the holocaust is as close to historical fact as you can get, the evidence is so overwhelming you'd have to be in denial or have serious selective perception not to see that.

Finished Siddharta from Hesse, became one of my favourites. Very good book.

Began with "Khalil Gibran - The Prophet"

Great book. I really like Hesse, I read plenty of his work.

Any recommendations from his other books?

Steppenwolf, Demian, narcissus and goldmund, gertrude.

Literally what he said. Listen to him. I'll add one, underrated work of his: The Journey to the East. You should read it.

And if you want some magic in your book, you should read Milorad Pavic.

I read some books of Pavic, landscape painted with Tea, the khazars and inner side of the wind. anything else from him which you could recommend?



Finishing Brad Warners - Hardcore Zen, very interesting book. Will try to mediate after reading this book to find the reality and enjoy it.
