what's the most fascinating book you've read?

@retoor I actually read that "how to not give a fuck" book and I can't even remember what it said lol

but I can understand why people get a lot out of it. people just like, dunno how to be chill, and the guy explained some of it

did like it cuz it gave me validation (people historically disagreed with me about the stuff in the book when I said it). but I don't even think I exercised the new validation on anything after, aaa

House of Leaves was pretty fascinating, in a weird way. It's not for everyone.

I'm in the middle of Foucault's Pendulum... Also very weird, but it's chock full of very esoteric references about the Knights Templar, the Rosicrucians, Hebrew theology, Brazilian mysticism, and more. It's... Not an easy read.

The Bridge Across Forever: A True Love Story by Richard Bach. It's about fate, how he met, and married his soulmate. Ironically, they divorced.

Not a book, but a manual for the Epson FX-2190N. I wrote a program that will print student records on this printer and I added an easter egg so I'll know if the printer output is authentic.

The king in yellow was nice.

Then again, I think "house of leaves" is a runner-up but I've not finished reading it yet.

the new normal by benjamin bratton

@retoor I liked that book too, although you remember it much vividly. maybe I have to reread it too

@retoor did you know George Orwell was on CIA payroll? :3

This book is a great resource to know how to deal with white wingerz and nazis

nah im kidding, I never read it

I read bell hooks tho

@retoor at least read "Island". It's the opposite of brave new world, a psychedelic utopia where everybody does shroom and fucks
