    I need to make a new order on thriftbooks. War and Peace is fucking English teacher trash. I can't do it anymore. It's so fucking boring.

    I thought about picking that up the other day, but I got Cat's Cradle instead.

    I'm about 70 pages in and really enjoying it. A couple parts at the beginning made me actually chuckle, which isn't too common for a book. It's hard to find time to read with all the shifts I've been working lately, but I try to read some before or after work.

    The whole Bokononism thing made a big impression on me.

    I recommend the 2 babylons by alexander hislop as a study into how they tricked us all. And the bee thing mention is from the chaldea word mirir or something like that which means word. word of god. In the beginning there was the word and the word was god. Then the word created the heavens first and then the earth. Find logic and sense in the arrangement of these creations. The babylonians are not merely and solely the phoenicians. They span across cultures, across times and they are all connected to the same deity. Nimrod who was their messiah, the anticrist. Read the book and see the connections. Its old and from 1853 I believe and the writing a little difficult to read, yet it without doubt proves all these connections and demystifies the mystery babylon the great.

    Finished Animal Farm just now. I really liked it. Don't know why Lanny doesn't like it. Now I'm looking up the history of the Russian revolution and all that. Pretty interesting.

    Because in the best of ways, it contradicts his dream of a leftist utopia.

    I think the animal proxy bullshit narrative is fucking gay as hell, while Vonnegut has plenty of wit and none of the pretentious allegory.

    Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?'

    Man got to tell himself he understand.

    I'd guess the fact that it doesn't fairly represent the idea it's attacking, plus the writing itself.
