The Bible declares that we who follow Christ should be just as much in love with each other as God was in love with us when He sent His Son to die on the cross. The moment we come to Christ, Scripture says, God gives us supernatural love that is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. The greatest demonstration of the fact that we are Christians is that we love one another. Why not go out of our way to be a friend to someone whose skin is a different color from ours? Love does more to solve our problems than anything else does. Of all the gifts God offers His children, love is the greatest. Of all the fruits of the Holy Spirit, love is the first.

In the third century Cyprian, the Bishop of Carthage, wrote to his friend Donatus, “It is a bad world, Donatus, an incredibly bad world. But I have discovered in the midst of it a quiet and holy people, who have learned a great secret. They have found a joy which is a thousand times better than any of the pleasures of our sinful life. They are despised and persecuted, but they care not. They are masters of their souls. They have overcome the world. These people, Donatus, are Christians . . . and I am one of them.” If you have repented of your sins and have received Christ as Savior, then you, too, are one of them.

Today, Lord God, I remember all those Christians who have gone before me and thank You for the inspiration of their memory. May I never take for granted the heritage I have in Christ Jesus.

Recent purchases.
>Modern Chinese Poets
Well, they aren't contemporary now, but whatever. It's a pretty little edition. They seem to have included a few of Mao's poems too at the end.
>Mihály Babits - Laodameia
Actually found out about this through an article that analysed this play as if it were a kabuki-piece. Actually it's written in the style of classical Greek drama. One of those "I'll get to it eventually" books. Really, it's a shit edition and I kind of regret spending money on it.
>Gu Hua - A small town called hibiscus
Don't know. It's a Chinese novel I found on a list, so it's by default a part of my collection's scope.
Apparently it deals with the Cultural Revolution. Not exactly a bad topic. Soul Mountain did it really well.
It's also surprisingly short compared to a lot of Chinese novels I come across.
>Balázs Ablonczy - Hungarian, to the East!
I'm not exactly surprised someone wrote a book detailing the history of Turanism in Hungary. It's kind of topical right now.
Already finished a third of it. It's good. Full of interesting facts and sometimes it helps putting things in a completely new context and shows how this relatively obscure idea still "haunts" us for better or for worse.
>Béla Vilcsek - Mihály Babits the Playwright
It was cheap, it's relatively new, and other books in the series have been pretty good so there was really no reason not to get it.
Basically got it to supplement my reading of Laodameia so that I'm not going in completely blind.

[Anonymous No.18078843]

>>18078835
>A Brief History of the Chinese Communist Party
Don't know if this should go into the fiction or history section. It's not that I don't trust books printed in the 50s, it's just that I'm suspicious that the "facts have changed" quite a bit since then. Really, it's biggest issue is that it's very old, from before the Sino-Soviet split.
I'll probably get some use out of it.
>Ekkehard - The Saga of Waltharius the Strong Handed
Oh wow, an epic poem. It's tangentially related to the Nibelung mythos so I'm checking it out.
It was printed a decade ago but the publisher still had new copies for sale. Kinda sad, but also very nice, because that means I save a decade's worth of inflation.
>Péter Vámos - Hungaro-Chinese Relations 1949-1989
It's mostly a collection of documents from the era, but it actually does include some studies (roughly 200 pages, the remaining 600 is just internal documents of different ministries and institutions that dealt with the PRC before 1990.)
Haven't gotten to the studies yet, but reading some of the documents has been kind of fun. Most of them have "Top Secret!!!" written in the header. Don't know how to feel about that. Of course a lot of it is also just drivel by pencil-pushing officials, but there's good and interesting data here and there if I open it at random, like the one report from the 70s talking about the "State of Hungarian China Studies".

Been on a Jungian analysis kick. I particularly liked He. It's kind of a mix of literary analysis and psychology. I normally detest self help books, but this is more of a deeper narrative.

I also just joined a new Church and have been trying to keep up with the Bible more.

And then I get tired and need something light like manga.

Also currently reading a graduate level intro on mind body philosophy on Kindle and listening to Jung's autobiography.

How does 'Blade of the Immortal' compare to something like 'Vagabond'?

Also is that the the flipped Dark Horse edition? How is it?

[Anonymous No.18079379]

>>18079351
Never read Vagabond so I can't say. Yes, it's flipped which is a little weird.

The only other mangas I've read are Alita, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Beserk, and Akira, along with a few Western graphic novels.

It's pretty good. The first chapter I didn't like so much, but once the story got going it's been good. Probably closest to Beserk, but fairly different. It's dark and violent, but not on the same scale as Beserk. It isn't a horror manga for sure.

It reminds me a bit of Ninja Scroll more than anything else, or Samurai Champoloo.

[Anonymous No.18079459]

>>18079327
Do wish I had gotten the older publication of He since I absolutely loved the book and annotated it. It's the story of masculine development from boyhood to eventual individuation (a Jungian concept similar to self-actualization or enlightenment). Most people never become fully individuated. It uses the Arthurian Holy Grail story of Parsifal to illustrate this journey, and doesn't shrink from religious appeals, be they Christian (most of them) or Buddhist or Taoist. Self help without being self help.

He goes into more depth on this development using Don Quixote, Hamlet, and Faust as the three levels.of development in Transformation, but I decided to read a similar analysis by another author on the heros of Genesis first.

Penguin as "good overall" simply means choice of translations and general cost. Penguin typically has extensive endnotes but as I made mention of Remember, this secondary source material can be Google at any time. Also remember 90% of this site is poor fags and NEETs who can't afford anything more extravagantly priced than a used Penguin.

My goto publishers are Everyman's, Viking, Modern Library, if and when I can. When I can't, I'll settle for an Oxford. Especially if you're purchasing something in English, there's very little reason to get them from Penguin since textual quality will be uniform, unless of course you just care about the money. The one Penguin product line I will entertain are the Penguin Deluxe paperbacks, which are a pleasure to handle and have very loose bindings so you can just hold them open in your palm. However this is the exception. Penguin deluxe hardcovers are stiffer than your great grandfather's great grandfather's old bones, in much the same fashion as their classic paperbacks.

You really have to experiment with publishers to see who you like at the end of the day, my preferences and priorities are after all not your own. But do remember, Penguin is about the second lowest quality (in build and manufacture) money can buy if that at all matters to you.

Mun mielestä on aika surullista, jos kaveruus ei perustu mihinkään yhteisiin arvoihin. Tietenkin minua kiinnostaa mun ystävien näkemykset, sillä minulle ystävyys ei ole vain sitä, että yritetään epätoivoistesti etsiä jotain ryyppykavereita, jotta ei jäätäisi ihan yksin. Jos välitän jostain ihmisestä, niin hän on minun silmissäni yleensä hyvä ihminen, joka tarkoittaa, että hän jakaa minun arvomaailmani ja elää sen mukaisesti. Itse en siis todennäköisesti voisi olla kovin läheinen jonkun persun kanssa, vaikka voisin kyllä kännit semmosen kanssa vetästä.

Ehkä meillä on vain eri käsitys ystävyydestä.

[Anonymous No.18096393]

>>18096175
Kun pääset lukiosta/yliopistosta huomaat, että keskustelut ideologioista ja arvomaailmoista ovat todella köyhiä jos ainoa näkökulma on oma. Rauhallinen, vertaileva ja dialogilla totuuteen pyrkivä keskustelu on todella antoisaa hyväkäytöksisen ja älykkään ystävän kanssa. Ei sillä ole oikeastaan väliä, että mitä puoluetta äänestää tai edustaa. Puoluekanta ei kerro kaikkea ihmisestä ja keinot edistää kanssaeläjien hyvinvointia ovat moninaiset.

[Anonymous No.18096521]

>>18096393
Siis tietenkin on hyvä käydä keskustelua ihmisten kanssa, joilla on erilaiset näkemykset asioista. Oen käynyt monet todella hyvät poliittiset keskustelut kokoomuslaisten kanssa. Ristirunkkaus on välillä tylsää - olen samaa mieltä, mutta monesti on rikkaampaa käydä keskustelu ihmisten kanssa, joilla on samanlainen maailmankuva, sillä sillon voi edetä ajattelussa syvemmälle. Moni keskustelu jää niin sanottujen "Veetien" kanssa tosi pinnalliselle tasolle, sillä monista fundamentaalisista asioista ei olla samaa mieltä, joten keskustelu ei etene. Jos haluaa esim puhua metsien tilasta Suomessa, syntyy kiinnostavampi keskustelu, jos molemmat osapuolet välittävät metsistä, eikä tarvitse väitellä siitä onko metsillä arvoa, vaan voi mennä suoraan asiaan. Näin myös syntyy kiinnosavia kysymyksia siitä, mitä meidän pitää tehdä metsien suojelemiseksi.

Mutta minua kiinnostaa, että olisitko ihmisen kanssa kaveri, jonka arvot olisivat aivan kauheat (esim hänen mielestään lapsien raiskaaminen olisi salittua)? Itse en kunnioita tuommoisia ihmisiä, vaikka voisinkin mahdollisesti käydä kiinnostavan keskustelun hänen kanssaan moraaleista. Haluan tuntea arvostusta ystäviäni kohtaan, ja en usko, että voisin arvostaa ihmistä, jonka ajatukset ovat aivan todella vastenmieliset. Moraalit ovat minulle tärkeä osa elämää ja tuntuu väärälle, jos näen, että joku lähipiirissäni kannattaa tai tekee suuria vääryksiä maailmaa kohtaan. On hankalaa olla ystävä ihmisen kanssa, jonka olemassaolo tekee maailmasta paskemman paikan.

more than 75% of it's parts are not Chaucer's writing, but I actually like all those added parts.

Even these are interesting in their own right, like the derivation of heaven (caelum) from engraved (caelatum), which Varro first made. This calls to mind ancient notions of embedded or ornamental stars. Such etymologies help give us a firm grasp on ancient mindsets, but also lead to surprising insights, especially if taken poetically. This is what Milton did.

Yes absolutely. I've had it on my reading list for a few years now, perhaps from the last time I read Chaucer, and I was just recently reminded of it whilst reading the Eckhart book, so I finally picked it up. It seems very interesting in that aspect and I love to be closer acquainted to the more classical mindset for better understanding of the stories and development of the beliefs and theologies over all. I only thumbed through it briefly but I caught a section where he was breaking down the etymology proper of the word king, which implicitly suggested that one who wished to be king was one who had to act correctly, as "rex" coming from the word "recte," and so he goes on; but even that little blurb, as simple an association as it is (since we all understand what rectify means, though I wouldn't have necessarily deduced the association between the two on my own) contains a hell of a lot more insight and revelation than the modernized, puerile "KING=BAD BECAUSE KING=TYRANT" that we receive as "education" nowadays. I love exploring words and going back to their origins and it's part of what makes reading the Greeks so fun, so I'm excited to get more into this.

If you're into that sort of thing, check out ET Bell, if you don't know of him already. He has a book called Men of Mathematics. It was incredibly fun to read, especially for a book on the history math.

[Anonymous No.18109473]

>>18109436
I already have all of Bell's layperson's books, but thanks for the recommendation.

If you like math history a good compendium is Newman's 4 volume World of Mathematics.

Newman, oh man. I wish I could purchase that and it's not at any libraries within 50 miles of me, according to Worldcat. Send me your copies, bro. Hofstadter was influenced by Newman's work to write GBE, apparently!

What else do you read? Have you ever looked into Georges Ifrah's 3-volume monumental history of numbers? If you have, what else would you recommend?

I bought at my local used book store From prehistory to the invention of the computer, but I haven't seen the other volumes.

I'd highly recommend Development of Mathematics by Bell and Mathematics its content, methods and meaning by A. D. Aleksandrov, et al.

For encyclopedia a general undergraduate level would be the CRC press Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics or for a more advanced treatment Encyclopedic Dictionary of Mathematics by Ito(ed.)

[Anonymous No.18110053]

I've read all these in the past three weeks except the Murakami which I'm reading now. I want to read more like the Palahniuk if anyone has any recommendations (that isn't more Palahniuk). I would appreciate it.

>You start Stalingrad yet? It seems like such a commitment that I've been hesitant to pick it up.
I did, so far so good.
Frankly, I am reading it as part of researching the historical battle itself; happily, it also happens to be a masterpiece of 20th century / war literature.
You’re right, it’s probably daunting to start purely for literary consumption. (Not to mention that Life and Fate, to which this is really just the first part, is also very long.)
I suppose you have to want to read War and Peace, to read this. Or, want to understand the Soviet era. Any fleeting reason is more than enough of a nudge to help make it seem like less of a pure commitment.
But it really does read pretty easily.
