This is the book which deeply impacted many, moving them spiritually. I must say I am so impressed by the writing style of Mr. Gibran that I was able to connect to the characterw.

It was such a great experience.

the studio exec who is trying to get all the gay charecters killed is called "Hayes". Like Hayes Code.

... GAWD
DAMMIT

This is... visceral. I've had easier times reading first-hand accounts of the holocaust.

and he urges an immediate worldwide mobilization to replace the energy source in every car, truck, tractor, ship, airplane, and house on Earth in seven years in a desperate effort to save the planet from further overheating.

Exposing perceived fault lines in our banking and financial systems and explaining how unemployment could be cut in half in two years and worldwide prosperity restored, this book argues the existence of exotic energy sources to replace fossil fuels and consequently recommends an immediate end to fracking and offshore drilling for oil.

go go gadget conspiracy theory!

Ooop now she's talking about racial fetishism and the effect. Looks like its time to order some depression.

There is a lot of talk about cutting off Clitori here.

I swear to gourd if the "oddly creepy religious fanatic" turns out to be the killer, I will be equal parts irritable and dissapointed.

Okay, (not knowing anything other than starting the novel itself) the writer has done their research when it comes to the FBI behavioral science unit, or at least a peripheral scan.

Studying for the N cat, I've been trying to do eight hours a day. Yet I'm doing less and less. I vomited 8 to 12 times last week. It's time to change up how I approach this.

-4chan.... why are you recommending this

Soooo... despite the reputation, I was told the 4chan lit board has some interestingly groovy titles. Once you avoid the racism. Welp, I'll try anything once.

It's full of monsters and eltrich abominations and all kinds of mysterious things left to the imagination. Also there is like a small community making fanfic about it is really good. A subgenere of "entrophic speculative fiction".
-4chan /lit/ section

Anyways the novel is a tale of a knight sent to rescue a damsel in distress written in this faux medieval prose which is absolutely wretched but you get used it to. It's also a lot of repetitious lines about drinking water out of a canteen and camping in the dust.

The idea is it's millions of years in the future and all of humanity lives in this giant metal pyramid in bottom of this enormous hole in the ground. It's beset on all sides by incomprehensible threats. It was based alot off Lord Kevin's idea that sun's burned hydrogen and oxygen to make heat and would burn out.

"Its published in 1912 by a weight-lifting army captain who died in combat in WWI and it's really just out there. Very interesting if you like settings/ universes more than dialogue or prose.

After his long distance possible queen died at sea.

Witchcraft: real
Necromancy: real
Sorcery: real

But werewolves? Pfft. C'mon bro, really? Those aren't a thing.

Why am I reading this?
The country is debating whether or not my ladyfriends should have rights and the orange menace potentially just got found with nuclear secrets.

I miss seeing stupid historic shikanery. Like when a king loses his long-distance waifu at sea and blames made up witches for all of his problems.

James frames his argument in a Socratic dialogue between Epistemon, a wholehearted believer in witchcraft, and Philomathes, a skeptic.

The book was a major influence on the Puritan witch hunters of the 17th century, including Matthew Hopkins (the infamous "Witchfinder General" of the English Civil War) and the prosecutors of the Salem Witch Trials.

Demonology is a treatise on witchcraft and the occult written by King James VI of Scotland (later James I of England), first published in 1597.

A billion year chronicle of the future evolution of man... Well, I do like futurism, this sounds like a nice change of pace.

A big chunk of this advice could be filed under "try to be well adjusted".

oop, it involves having weird standards (having a clear idea is important, a list of over 21 specific goals though?) rather than a flexible approach to...
-_-

I just realized that this guy is a professional motivational speaker... Ominous... still, it likely beats trying to get advice from 4chan or any of the more modern dating advice reddits, blech
