Book 1 - notes from underground, 4/5
Superfluous man
Refused legacy
Feigned independence, a cheap façade, appearances are everything and nothing.
Sad man is sad.
Can woman bring him joy?
Woman can not bring him joy.
Oy.
Vovoy.

But in all seriousness, I'm actually enjoying this reading, this is my first dip into Dostoevsky but the writing is superb. I thought I'd get stuck in the mud somewheres

Notes from Underground/Poor People/The Friend of the Family

Samwise Chamberlain is on page 70 of 256 of Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?
I understand why we were taught "I have a dream" but not writings like this in school. This perspective would have been useful in spurring unpleasant but necessary conversations. Many points I had wondered about but were left unanswered were addressed: the viability of the nonviolent movement; the psychology behind Black Power idealism; the risk and reward of white collaboration; etc.

Samwise Chamberlain is on page 55 of 222 of Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings
"Black folklore is not childish, yet it has survived in a society given to treating black people as children. Human survival systems, cultural paradigms for mental health, depend on the possibility of imagining a revolutionary change. It doesn't have to be this way, Brer Rabbit says, and we listen because to believe is human."

To me honest, this is my first time reading smut, and I'm unsure how to go about rating this.

Samwise Chamberlain is on page 190 of 216 of The Space Merchants
Status report: protagonist has escaped Costa Rica, journeyed back to New York, took over said advertisement firm, is desperately searching for his kind of wife and whether he likes it or not, has been swayed over to the conservationist mindset. It seems a fresh planet, with effort, may be a more preferred home to the hell we've made our home planet into.

Samwise Chamberlain is on page 118 of 216 of The Space Merchants
Status report: The protagonist has been shipped to Costa Rica to work growing chicken meat, not chickens, just the meat. His sort-of wife is palling around with a midget space jockey after assuming him dead from a conniving coworker's power play. He's fallen in with a terrorist group known as conservationists and worked his way up through their ranks to be shipped back to New York. Goal: convince employer not dead.
