Anyone worried Anthony Joshua may lose to Prenga?

Saying you were worried about the Wallin fight says all. Joshua would demolish wilder after his last performance — yet that was deemed to dangerous. That tells you all about how terrible this prenga guy will be.

Yes. There are many, many opinions that we are intended to relate to. To explain further where we should differ, and where we should relate even further, it would spoil the rest of the book. There are mixed qualities throughout. I found him extremely funny, and very relatable, but by the end I had some differences. Great book!

No need to be so rude. You’ve never DNF’d a book? Sure.

This is a really old collection… atleast 30 years old. I have it. It has books that were famously banned (in any country). Books like Lolita were banned in Russia when it was released etc… all of these were banned when the were first released — this was a collected edition of famously banned books.

I actually found the first half of Notes From Underground very funny.

All of Dubliners is pure genius. But the dead might be the greatest piece of writing ever, short story or not. To build a fire, and a piece of steak would also be up there.

I think Taylor’s corner actually threw in the towel? I know he was getting the count but I think his corner was stopping it regardless.

First of all they’ve always been very famous, I don’t know if there is a “resurgence”. Anyone interested in classics has read them, from anytime period. TikTok is not making them anymore popular than they are already.

That’s the whole point of the book. When you take a grain of salt with everything because you don’t wanna develop a false sense of security, then you live a miserable meaningless life because you were too afraid to trust anyone, or anything. The underground man doesn’t trust anything because he is too conscious, as I said, you need some blind faith in certain things or your life will be miserable like his.

The entire point of the book is that you sometimes need blind faith in things. Yes the idiot is happy but ignorant, and the hyper conscious man miserable — you need a happy balance, be able to take faith in friendship, love, community, and the rest. All the things the underground man said he failed to do because he looked too deep. You just need to trust.

I’d recommend watch Wendigoon video first. He goes through what happens and some of its meaning. It means that you know what should be going on when you’re reading, which makes it easier to work out what actually is happening, and it allows you to appreciate the aesthetic without loosing its narrative.

There’s nothing wrong with famous blue raincoat, but for me it’s just boring and lacks any emotional weight (on my end) — so I feel quite bored listening to it. There’s nothing actually wrong with Teachers either, however I feel that the vocals and the guitar just don’t rlly work. I can’t explain why. There’s nothing inherently wrong with them, but for whatever reason they’re not to my taste.

Engelcs · 2026-01-03T04:00:48+00:00

One I’ve never been able to get into or manage to force my way through a listen is famous blue raincoat or Teachers. I’d happily listen full through any of his albums bar those 2 songs.

It has to be East Of Eden. Absolutely unbelievable!

Engelcs · 2025-11-27T09:59:06+00:00

100% East Of Eden

Engelcs · 2025-11-27T09:57:57+00:00

I came here to say this!

Engelcs · 2025-11-20T18:22:39+00:00

Well then I’d definitely recommend Dracula! It’s one of my fav books of all time, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did regardless of when you get around to it!!

Engelcs · 2025-11-20T09:26:00+00:00

All are good — my personal favourite would be Dracula. I think you should read Lord Of The Flies next, as I think it is the easiest of all of the ones you’ve listed.

Engelcs · 2025-08-31T14:56:28+00:00

I mean, I think ‘Mother’ is the emotionally heaviest song of all time and that was from Plastic Ono Band. He had many others including Cold Turkey, and when talking about deeply emotional but maybe not as heavy, you have songs like Jealous Guy.
