I just want to finish this book soon. It’s an anthology of essays that all tie in to anarchism and libertarianism in some way, with varying degrees of polish and intellectual weight, varying degrees of crack-pot-ism and reality, some are more about trying to change the economic system and the general cultural outlook

Some of this is quite silly.

Manifestos in literature and women’s and men’s fashions, so far. Witty and somewhat haughty, angry even, statements about how lame we have become and how the Neo-Decadents aim to change all that.

Needs to be taken in small gulps.

Feels like home, in the words of Madonna

Disturbed utterances of elegant madmen.

I mean…it’s very atmospheric and erotic. But I wouldn’t call it very good.

Fast read.

I’m updating a lot, taking breaks. Nietzsche is funny! I’m lol’ing a couple times in Essay Three. It’s dense stuff though. I want to finish this slim book tonight or tomorrow. It’s fun to read Friedrich bashing Richard Wagner his old buddy and talking about art.

Slow going, not particularly enjoyable easy reading.

This seemed easier to read in a more archaic translation somehow.

I will meet my goodreads goal by Dec 31st
