While reading Heart of Darkness, I made this meme:

After finishing it, yeah it's pretty much what the author intended. At best you could argue that Africa itself corrupts the people that inhabit it and the Niggers are only victims of it. Describing it as "colonialism bad" book removes the entire reasoning behind it.

I've been downloading the New York Times Book Review Notable Books list for the years 2004-2025. There are 100 per year, half fiction half non-fiction. I've also been downloading the Penguin Classics collection, or what I can find of it (about 3000 titles, give or take, half of those on Anna's). Mostly finished on that one, just the Rs/Ss to go. I've also been tinkering with Wikipedia's list of philosophy texts, but that one's a little harder since I want academic editions rather than popular ones.

I've also been doing this thing where if I see a book cover or title on /pol/, Hacker News, or here I grab that too. (I have about 400ish titles that deal with the JQ and holocaust denial, heh).

I fix the book covers, run the syntax checker, split and unsplit files in Calibre's ebook editor. Prefer epub format, but good scan pdfs of out-of-print's ok (though I often have to find and touch up a dust jacket scan for those, since they rarely have proper cover images).

Currently reading End of Eternity by Asimov, one of the few of his I've not read (Nightfall was the other, finished it couple weeks ago). I know he's a filthy jew, and I now think that his fiction is somewhat dangerous to younger people, but it's a guilty pleasure.

I think once I finish up with all the current projects, I'll move on to trying to get the Book-of-the-Month Club selections... but I can't find a good/accurate list of that to save my life.
 
All I knew about David Icke, prior to reading one of his books, is that he's a conspiracy theorist who believes in lizard people. Some people have been saying his books are correct if you substitute "lizard people" for "Jews". I kept an open mind and I finished reading his most recent book, "The Dream: The Extraordinary Revelation of Who We Are and Where We Are".

If anyone is familiar with Simulation Theory, then the majority of the book is essentially just Icke summarizing those concepts for people new to them. I'm not new to these ideas, so it just reinforced them for me. He believes that paranormal/spiritual phenomena happen on another wavelength that we can't see, similar to how radio waves are technically invisible.

I want to check out the rest of his bibliography eventually.
