>>What are you currently reading? How are you finding it? Would you recommond?
Currenting listening to
>The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm, Richard Estep, Robert Graves
Kinda boring, will giving it another 30' at x2.3;
>Ishmael, Daniel Quinn
The best propaganda (although I'm only at 65%), dunno what the final message will be, be it's still great. Some flawed argumentation on the author's account, but hey, it's a good enough concept for me to gloss oer it.

>>Recently finished? How'd you rate them?
Past 3d:
>The Dictatorship of Woke Capital: How Political Correctness Captured Big Business, Stephen R. Soukup
Real good- goes into historical detail and explains how the US and much of Western Europe got into middle of this shitsandwich.
>Maniac: The Bath School Disaster and the Birth of the Modern Mass Killer}{\emph{, Harold Schechter
Good historical background, last 1/3, 1/4 is moralistic garbage and rehashing of already mentioned shit, regardless it's a good (enough) true crime text.
>The Rational Male, Rollo Tomassi
3 books; did like 1/4 of the first and and just heard a few sentences of each each chapter after that and jsut the titles of the second. All shit; all shit that's predictable to the letter, mostly known stuff along w/ tryhard garbage, annoying too- not as much as roosh's trash, has some false info as well. Of no use to me.
>Unfu*k Yourself, Gary John Bishop
some selvehelp abook I found; gave it a go. 1/5 in, it was all trash. Again, predictable. No new info.
>The Caller of the Black, Brian Lumley
Collection of short stories, not too bad, but I have better things to get invested in, so just skipped it.
>The Art of Invisibility, Kevin Mitnick
Mostly known shit. Prolly already date, given the 5y. Still good intro if you've never heard it, otherwise rehashing.
>Fortunately the Milk, Neil Gaiman
Read half. It's supposed to be funny I guess, but I find it forced. I'll finish it later when I'm not so angry.
>Labyrinth of Ice The Triumphant and Tragic Greely Polar Expedition, Buddy Levy
got to about 40%; it's like Simmons' "The Teerror" sans thiller aspect (inb4 it gets good at the end). Liked the detail, but nothing too thrilling happens, kinda meh, but at least sth happens.
>In the Shadow of Gold, Michael Kenneth Smith
1/10; boring
>Out of Mesopotamia, Salar Abdoh
eastern novel, not too bad; finished in a breath.
>Secrets in the Cellar, John Glatt
Other than the repetitions of testimony over the latter half, great account of a true crime case that's a great read/listen. Not enough detail gore for my taste, but I can understand why the victims wouldn't want to.. Real nice depravity tho
