>>9449366
The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell

>>9449357
McNamara is a great and honest writer. I wouldn't call him apologetic, but he acknowledges his mistakes more than any other historical figure I can think of.

He writes not to absolve himself of guilt, he admits to being wrong, but he wants to outline his (and the men around him's) thought process, and where, how, and why it was flawed.

It's a dense read, so if you haven't already, check out "The Fog of War" before reading, it's one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, and serves as both a summary of and follow-up to the book.

Get to work Muhammad

>>9449708
aw shit ya caught me
this sounds like it might be kinda like LoGH. Is it?

>>9449792
Way better man. It far surpasses every fantasy series I've ever read. It ruined fantasy for me in general, and is the entire reason I moved on to literary fiction, no other series filled the gaping hole this left behind. First book is shit in comparison to the rest of the series, as it was Erikson's first, but the rest of the series makes it more than worth the time.

>>9449620
Have fun Cameron

Yuta, this is yours to read, if ever you wish to know how to lead, and where is it you come from. Forget not the face of your father Yuta

>>9448902
Okay

>>9448610
I'm reading it right now, as it happens.

>>9449241
it's so woke it will scare you.

> At this point, the Islamic Apocalypticism of Jihad as a religio-political event and the role of oil as the harbinger of planetary singularity overlap. Unlike Latin America, Islam has perceived oil as an ultimate Tellurian lubricant, or as the lube of all narrations on the Earth – a radical field of tactics by and through which Islamic war machines can slide forward, fuse with the Earth’s flows and become planetary entities rather than merely religious agencies with a certain geo-political range.

> ...in orther words, the Earth is a part and property of Islam, that is to say, the religion of utter submission to Allah. Islam does not perceive oil merely as a motor-grease – in the way Capitalism identifies it - but predominantly as a lubricant current or a tellurian flux upon which everything is mobilized in the direction of submission to a desert where no idol can be erected and all elevations must be burned down – that is, the Kingdom of God. This act of submission to the all-erasing desert of God is called the religion of taslim or submission, that is to say, Islam. If oil runs toward the desert, so does everything that is dissolved in it.

> An autonomous chemical weapon belonging to earth as both a sentient entity and an event. Petroleum poisons Capital with absolute madness, a planetary plague bleeding into economies mobilized by the technological singularities of advanced civilizations. In the wake of oil as an autonomous terrestrial conspirator, capitalism is not a human symptom but rather a planetary inevitability. In other words, Capitalism was here even before human existence, waiting for a host.

>>9450374
it was ghostwritten by micheal flynn?

Can I just watch the movie instead? I don't even have the money for the book.

>>9450762
I really like the book tho, using a day as a microcosm of his whole life and the scene which the camp doctor writes poetry as a critique at the impotence of literature really hits me hard.

>>9448295
I'm tired.

>>9451710
>>9451735
its good, but you really should read pynchon chronologically

M&D > AtD > GR > V > CoL 49 > Inherent Vice > Vineland > Bleeding Edge

>>9451664
Is that cover real? It's fucking horrendous

>>9451942
That's a really interesting way to approach Pynchon and I wish it'd been suggested to me before I started him.

>>9450234

Not the guy that suggested it.

It's a fantastic book. Just because it had "love" in the title doesn't mean it's bad. Carver is great.

>>9457066
In The Flame Alphabet, the most maniacally gifted writer of our generation delivers a work of heartbreak and horror, a novel about how far we will go, and the sorrows we will endure, in order to protect our families.

A terrible epidemic has struck the country and the sound of children’s speech has become lethal. Radio transmissions from strange sources indicate that people are going into hiding. All Sam and Claire need to do is look around the neighborhood: In the park, parents wither beneath the powerful screams of their children. At night, suburban side streets become routes of shameful escape for fathers trying to get outside the radius of affliction.

With Claire nearing collapse, it seems their only means of survival is to flee from their daughter, Esther, who laughs at her parents’ sickness, unaware that in just a few years she, too, will be susceptible to the language toxicity. But Sam and Claire find it isn’t so easy to leave the daughter they still love, even as they waste away from her malevolent speech. On the eve of their departure, Claire mysteriously disappears, and Sam, determined to find a cure for this new toxic language, presses on alone into a world beyond recognition.

The Flame Alphabet invites the question: What is left of civilization when we lose the ability to communicate with those we love? Both morally engaged and wickedly entertaining, a gripping page-turner as strange as it is moving, this intellectual horror story ensures Ben Marcus’s position in the first rank of American novelists.
