Books

[LoxisParticipant 7]

Hey guys. Do any of you have a passion for books. My favorite books are Demons, Transhumanist Wager, Post Office, Antichrist, Tyranny Of God, Beyond Good and Evil, Thus Spake Zarathustra and many more.

Loxis: of course. books and the reading of them are how we create the future so men can escape the “prison of learning._” to coin a phrase.

I rarely have time to read books any more, partly because I’ve got a stack of scientific and technical journals that I haven’t gone through.

I read all sorts of stuff, whatever takes my fancy. I am trying to write a book, about 10 years into a book, it may never get done…

Loxis thank you for opening this thread, I was considering making a similar thread a couple of days ago but got distracted. That being said I have always liked the Terry Goodkind books (Fantasy) Also 5000 year leap, tipping point, freakonomics, brave new world, stranger in a strange land.

I am hopeful that others list titles here since I am always looking for good books to read.

I’m an eclectic reader. I’ve never met a genre I didn’t like, although some are more likely to get liked than others. Lately, I’ve been on a nonfiction binge.

I’m reading this, and I’m pleasantly surprised at how good it is:

A Genius for Deception: How Cunning Helped the British Win Two World Wars, by Nicholas Rankin

I’m waiting for this to arrive. My library has it on order:

Future crimes : everything is connected, everyone is vulnerable and what we can do about it, by Marc Goodman

I like the books of David Berlinski http://www.davidberlinski.org/

He is as politically un-correct and anti-feminist as a writer can be. This really comes out in his mystery novels.

His writing style is unique to say the least. It’s both humorous and erudite. He’s driven me to the dictionary more than once. Whatever topic he tackles, he makes it interesting and makes me smile while reading his take on it.

I have read all of his books in my library except one, the one I started today, Newton’s Gift. I had just finished a science fiction illustrated novel — expensive comic book — and grabbed Berlinski as a change of pace.

Books are great, but I reserved my reading time to the practical, I figured if I was going to read at least learn something; I like manuals, and explanatory writings in engineering and science, practical knowledge. My books I need to return to for formulas, chemical or mathematical, no way I can remember all the graphs and diagrams and formulas, plus I keep notes, and files galore in my computer. I have information I gathered throughout the internet, over years.

This site and You Tube are the only places I post, and only recently. Writing is the only way to store information for continuous use, I print physical copies of anything I feel is important information. Computers crash, backups are always incomplete, missing the file you need. Computers are the new “book” but much better, You-tube can be helpful when you’re not understanding the printed word in an article, sometimes there’s a lecture that explains it better with a chalk board. Computers are the library of congress, and the library of Alexandria combined.

look at MGTOW and this philosophical gathering we have here, never before in the history of man has so much information been at your finger tips.

I like reading MGTOW stories, cause their relevant to reality, It’s a mental place I occupy along with the stories. Reality is made up of s~~~ you just can’t create! NOT EVER!

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress is my favorite of all Robert H. Heinlein’s books. I see they are planning to make it into a movie: Bryan Singer to Direct Adaptation of Sci-Fi Classic http://www.imdb.com/news/ni58355054 My first thought is there is no way to cram this book into a two hour movie. A mini-series could do it justice.

@roydal That is some of the best news I have heard in a while, so long as they do not screw the story up. I have been trying to get a hold of every HeinLein book I can find and have maybe half of them at this point. The moon Is a Harsh Mistress was probably the first HeinLein novel I ever came across followed closely by the unabridged version of Stranger in a Strange Land.

I spend most of my free time reading.  While I do have a soft spot for bizarro and horror, I do mostly read…pretty much whatever I can get my hands on.  Anyway, a few of the recent books I have recently read and would recommend are:  The Fox Wars, Storm of Steel, and An African In Greenland are the non-fiction ones; Flesh Gothic and The Tick People, for fiction.  However, if I were pressed, I could recommend hundreds of books that I have enjoyed over the years.
