MISC readers: What are you reading now?

[Sinan09400]

GALACTIC no racist but Mein Kampf is actually a fascinating read - Hitler was a madman but it's crazy how persuasive his writing is. Makes you realize how he was able to take so much power and sway others so easily.

Also fun fact my buddies and I used to prank each other by "autograph"ing each others books by signing the author's name in them when we weren't looking, so I have a copy signed by "Adolf Hitler" aka my buddy Rob.

Mine. Got it many years ago. Translation is garbage tho. Missing words, false translation etc

Back then German version was banned

He got all his ideas from american racial theorists. He just conveniently switched out blacks against jews, who were actually on top in the US theory. None of his ideas are in any shape or form original.

one of my goals for my book collection is to land a signed copy of that book.

The Trouble with Peace by Joe Abercrombie, book 2 in his latest series. One of the best fantasy authors out there imo.

[GodlessWonder]

ive heard of Gad Saad but i cant remember where from

Joe Rogan podcast maybe.

He's a sharp guy that calls out the current bull**** culture wars and silly theories/thoughts going around.

YI started the name of the wind sevvvvvveral years ago but it was just so boring. Then about 2 years ago, i decided to actually read it. Still pretty boring but i read the equal also. Didnt really like them until i watched some youtube videos on them and about the unanswered questions (like what is the cthaeh, who are the chandrian etc). Its really well written and a LOT OF TIME was put into crafting the kingkiller universe but there just isnt the action that i really like to see

Joe Rogan podcast maybe.

that may be it

[GodlessWonder]

Same!

[achtungpanzer]

I’m a few hundred page not The Stand by Stephen King. The correlation between the novel and some countries Covid response are in point.

[Goose102]

Same!

It's a solid choice! Def will be reading this a second time around with all of my highlighting now on the pages. I bought it for $4.00 shipped on eBay

Don't Let Go by Harlan Coben.

[Samraiwise]

To Tank, I love "Watchers" which is probably the best book by Koontz. A retired Delta Force now depressed and cynical, an incel woman and a runaway dog with genetically engineered super-intelligence, together they fight a war against Evil....won't say any more.

And the Dead Shall Rise
“ 1913, 13-year-old Mary ****an was found brutally murdered in the basement of the Atlanta pencil factory where she worked. The factory manager, a college-educated Jew named Leo Frank, was arrested, tried, and convicted in a trial that seized national headlines. When the governor commuted his death sentence, Frank was kidnapped and lynched by a group of prominent local citizens.

Steve Oney’s acclaimed account re-creates the entire story for the first time, from the police investigations to the gripping trial to the brutal lynching and its aftermath. Oney vividly renders Atlanta, a city enjoying newfound prosperity a half-century after the Civil War, but still rife with barely hidden prejudices and resentments. He introduces a Dickensian pageant of characters, including zealous policemen, intrepid reporters, Frank’s martyred wife, and a fiery populist who manipulated local anger at Northern newspapers that pushed for Frank’s exoneration. Combining investigative journalism and sweeping social history, this is the definitive account of one of American history’s most repellent and most fascinating moments.”

Don't Let Go by Harlan Coben.

i've read every book of his. just found a new one and reading it rn. he makes you turn the pages.

but some things i've noticed:

-he has a creepy obsession with teenage girls...like the white middle class popular stacy types. ALL of his books revolve around saving a girl like this. and the way he fawns over them is sus af.
-in most but not all the books, one of the main couples is a sucessful, beta "good" guy married to a type A hbb woman who isn't deeply attracted to him.

OP seems like a very smart guy.

I need to catch on my reading though. I was reading Tim Ferriss , Tribe of mentors. Really insightful book. Need couple of weeks to finish it.

Dean Koontz Watchers crew! My all time favorite Koontz book. I think it was the first I ever read way back in ancient times. lol

What are you reading right now? I think I only have a couple more to catch up on his most recent books. Def a page turner. lol I haven't noticed those things.

[MuzzieChik786]

I just finished all my books on my Kindle. I have nothing to read now. Might purchase a couple more books, gotta find something good.

The Woods. After 50 pages I realized I read it years ago. But I’ve forgotten the plot so it’s all good.

[potbellymadar]

Just started

[OlHoss]

Currently reading:

"Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius & a World Bank report on finance and economic growth for uni

Started reading "The Organized Mind" by neuroscientist Daniel Levitin and "Capital in the 21st Century" by Thomas Piketty, but I've shelved them for now

2008. I must have read that but I'm not positive. I had stopped reading a lot around 2012ish until the past couple years, so I'm trying to catch up on everything past that.

[swolefnatic]

Book about a kid who ditches his cozy San Francisco office job in the late 1890's to pursue the Klondike Gold Rush

Not really a self improvement book but it is an inspiring tale. Short story too, only about 150-200 pgs.

I've just finished the final book in The Witcher series.

I'm a huge fan of the games and the character and found the books an enjoyable read.

I would say that I felt slightly underwhelmed by the finish, I think the author set out with a large scope and an ambitious approach to world building but couldn't quite pull it off.

The lore with each book seemed to fall away as he wrestled with the story he was crafting and in some parts became convoluted and unclear.

Overall though I'm glad I read them and there's certainly some great action and funny/interesting characters to be found in the series.

Read the first book. 'Last Wish' or something but nah did not like it. Every storyline written in it was so irrevelant to each other.

And it's show looked like they spent all the budget on superman guy's salary
