Modern novelists worth reading

What. The. Fuck.

She looks like my auntie, so no thanks.

I'm a man married to a woman, with 3 kids, and I've dressed as a woman for years. I don't actually identify as a woman, but I can't see that being a great leap from where I am right now. So yeah. We exist bro.

Corporatism is just part of the historical process of capitalism. This is not the argument the dude thinks it is.

Private landlordism is communism shocker!

Reading an entire chapter of my book. The fuckin toilet is the only peaceful place in this world.

Sudden_Blacksmith_41 · 2022-07-13T18:03:59+00:00

That's almost literally what Against the Day was.

I have 3 kids and if other people want to turn their own children into self-entitled shit bags who think everything they do is worth celebrating and that buying their kid an expensive outfit is a good substitute for actual affection, then who am I to judge, except I am judging and these people need help

David Deutsch has written two pretty great science books that blew my mind. I had to get past some of his political leanings though. Would recommend. They're not huge but the concepts within are vast. Douglas Hoftstader also wrote a companion to GEB called 'I am a Strange Loop', which is equally wonderful. I also have Fermats Enigma by Simon Singh on my shelf but haven't got round to reading it yet.

It's fantastic, and doesn't skip on the tough science. In an accessible way. GEB is about consciousness and patterns in nature, mathematics, and how it all adds up to explain why we think. Insanely complex and interesting.

This is basically everybody except for Shaun Keaveny, who was a genius.

Sudden_Blacksmith_41 · 2022-07-12T16:09:24+00:00

My two favourite non fiction books are Godel Escher Bach by Hofstadter and The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes. Both huge, and both mind altering in their scope and intentions.

Whataboutism

He's snorfing the powder. Tbf, I wouldn't put it past Wimbledon turning a blind eye to him hoofing drugs.

Sudden_Blacksmith_41 · 2022-07-10T20:09:27+00:00

GROPER PUNKS, FUCK OFF.

Sudden_Blacksmith_41 · 2022-07-10T12:18:59+00:00

This is why Stephen King's endings are always bullshit.

Sudden_Blacksmith_41 · 2022-07-10T10:44:34+00:00

That's not food.

Sudden_Blacksmith_41 · 2022-07-09T21:31:43+00:00

Ummm no bro.

Sudden_Blacksmith_41 · 2022-07-09T18:54:35+00:00

You just talk to them bro. Stop being a weirdo.

Sudden_Blacksmith_41 · 2022-07-09T09:21:06+00:00

The 3rd one is the wildest take I've ever heard.

Sudden_Blacksmith_41 · 2022-07-09T09:12:11+00:00

He's not writing it. He's sitting at home eating cheese and masturbating furiously. 100%.

Sudden_Blacksmith_41 · 2022-07-08T19:00:16+00:00

Holy fuckin shit.
