the whole trilogy is like 700-900 pages. flew through them in an instant, there's some laugh out loud moments, genuinely grim shit, the prose is good - not bland, not dry, not excessive - and the narrative flows like a river. the tv series they made looks great but it's really not book accurate: toned down, shuffled, made less sincere and offensive, at times exagerrated.

the books revealed new facts i never knew about: the state of overpopulation in postwar london, midwifery back then, and workhouses - didnt ever suspect UK had anything like that.
very solid 9/10 non-fiction memoir of a nurse, spanning wide and crisp

It is interesting to see how Slavic languages have exercised influence on Romanian. I'm guessing that "razboi" is a cognate with a word from Slavic languages f.e. Polish "rozbój" meaning "violent crime"

I have the same feeling when I'm reading French. There's a lot of similar words, but that's because French heavily influenced our culture around a century ago.

For example, we say "deja vu" for an event that you feel has happened in the past but can't pinpoint it. In French it's exactly the same "deja vu" (already seen), but most romanians use deja vu and pronnounce it like in french, yet don't know that they're saying something in french, it became part of the language.

Daily reminder to read 'Suicide Note' by Mitchell Heisman and share it with as many people as you can. It is the best explanation of the Jewish problem ever written.

Here's the link to the text:
https://legacy.gscdn.nl/archives/images/suicide_note.pdf
(Read pp. 32 - 625)

TL;DR: https://www.scribd.com/document/198985140/Mitchell-Heisman-s-suicide-note-overview

Alternatively you can listen to it while gaming: https://youtu.be/BiMZi5P7WJA

The GOAT coming through. I've been reading it relentlessly for over a month and am still only 2/5 in. It's too long for most people but it's a true classic, never had fictional people been characterised in such detail before, and never would be again until Ulysses showed how to do it with fragments.
