>currently readingI have a problem on starting lot of books and not finishing them until months or even years after afterwards. but the two books I'm currently having fun reading is:
The Glory of the Empire: A Novel, a History
a fictional history book about a vast empire from long ago. it features fake qoutations from various real and unreal sources, figures, and books.
Sheppard Lee, Written by Himself
at the beginning of the book, Sheppard Lee dies. his spirit then poesses another person's corpse; which gives him their personality tics and their current situation in life, good or bad. a funny satire about Jacksioan America.
>past readsthe last thing I've finished reading was actually the Unabomber manifesto. I think enough have been said about it in this thread but I will say that the part about Surrogate Activities was very intresting and did made me question about my life.
I rember as a kid, i used to watch alot of lego stop-motion vids on youtube, and one thing remeber watching was this one called ships of fools. Either I dident know it at the time or dont remeber, but it was based on a fable by Ted K.

I don't agree lot with the book says, parts of it feels pyschopathic, like when later on when someone gets murder, the christian strawman and the main charater feel indiffrent towards it. which
I dont think is an error by the author but rather a showing of his own indiffrence. wether or not the author was himself a pyschopath we dont know, as theres not enough information to go by; besides that this book is his only book he wrote.
