On the last twenty pages of A Brief History of Seven Killings and then going to start Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (bought the book ten years ago but never got around to reading it, but it looks light and fun enough so planning on reading it next).

I asked him if he was a NEET once and he said no. I think. I don't know what the fuck his deal is. I wouldn't mind fucking him raw though. I don't know what he looks like but he has a personality that needs to be conquered. I'd bet he'd become a huge decadent slut once you give him enough punishment.

Just avoid anyone who try to explain the whole history to you (e.g. jared diamond, harari - even just these two are vastly contradictory). it seems most of such authors are jewish. Read regional history that gives you facts only and not some wild theory to ponder about.

Perhaps I haven't fully appreciated the irony in asking this question, but why, OP, are you interested in sharing your reading habits and recommendations? What do you (hope to) gain from publicizing your personal life, advertising literary "challenges," and broadcasting your every intention and achievement? How is this post related to reading itself instead of being just an indication of something more sinister and narcissistic in the ego? ;)

>What are you reading at the moment?
Reading Sarah Rudens' translation of the Aeneid for a class, its pretty comfy so I'm enjoying it. I'm also reading the synoptic gospels for another class but I'm just not marking it.

>How is your reading challenge going?
Set it to a really high number for the meme (maybe that was last year), I'll definitely try and do an actual challenge next year though, maybe 2-3 books a week. Shouldn't be too hard considering what I'm studying, but It'll be tough to squeeze other shit I'm interested in into the mix.

>What do you plan on reading next?
Probably another history book, I typically only read novels/fiction for pleasure when I have a large amount of free time, like a vacation or something. I just got a history book about the Indo-Europeans today so I think that'll be my next read.

Feel free to message me lads, I love the conversation.
