I glanced at some reviews: one was positively furious, so it was almost certainly a hook-snoot.

If they're pissed it MUST be good.

Thackeray's Vanity Fair. After finishing Don Quixote (wonderful). Had to give up on VF. Why? It's almost a thousand pages of reveling in the worst side of British character. Hitler made a mistake in having respect for Britain. Also the book is full of subtle complex relationships (the cousin's nephew's wife engaged the half-sister of the butcher of the family before the new Mrs. So-and-So, first a tutor to the second cousin's mistress, displaced the former Mrs. So-and-So who just so happens to have the identical first and last name as another Mrs. So-and-So and her half-daughter--that kind of thing), which is difficult for me to follow as a modern American. Thackeray, like all major 19th century novelists, writes clear, engaging, often funny English, though. Isn't it remarkable that language from that time is easier to understand, resonates more, than the stiff, weird prose of modern novels, dumbed-down by decades of bureaucratese and freaky Philip Rothizing? Then there's this, where the government (CIA) actually tried to extirpate natural, imaginative, brainy writing (shades of Newspeak):

Iowa was apparently a spook lobotomizing op and it worked.

Been reading Marlowe's plays and poems. Just finishing 'The Jew of Malta' today, which is a brilliantly anti-jewish play.

Also read Gogol's 'The Cloak' and part way through 'Dead Souls'. 'The Cloak' is pretty amazing for a short story and 'Dead Souls' is simply superb.

Most of the way through Colin Rogers' 'The Battle of Stepney' (solid bit of work). I have Donald Rumbelow's 'The Houndsditch Murders and the Siege of Sidney Street' and James Holyroyd's 'The Gaslight Murders' to get through. They really show what an arse Churchill was.

Heinz Knoke's 'I Flew for the Fuhrer' is also a solid read.

Been reading Jean Bricmont's 'Humanitarian Imperialism'. Meh. I guess it is good for what is - a leftist critique of the neocon policies of the US and some European powers. He does explore some of the internal contradictions of the left but other than that it isn't overly interesting.

I recently bought Bolton's Revolution from Above, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy by Walt and Mersheimer and Spengler's Prussianism and Socialism.

I've read most of Bolton's book but I don't find it very captivating. It drags on and on, and is simply written in a boring fashion. Very well-researched though.

Wtf? The last post in this thread was over four months ago?! What, have all you people decided to stop reading and take up the meth pipe?...or do you prefer syringes instead? Jesus H. Fuckin' Christ.

Anyway, I'm about 2/3 done with vol. VIII of the late, great Will Durant's The Story of Civilization: The Age of Louis XIV, and it's every bit as superb as the other seven books of the eleven volume series I've read thus far.

You think Gibbon's Decline and Fall covered some territory? Hah! This almost 9,000 pages of text monster starts out with the most ancient of civilizations such as Mesopotamia and Assyria (vol. I) and runs right up to the end of the Napoleonic wars (vol. XI).

So let's get with the program, people: What are you reading?

"Russian-English translation (A textbook for university students)" - in Russian.





Charles Dickens "Hard Times" - In English.

...does not fit? Who the hell gives a shit? At least you do read books, and that's good enough.

OK, who's up next?

I've read seven of Boz's novels and novellas: Great Expectations, David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, The Pickwick Papers (the only one I found to be a bore, and his first stab at the novel, btw), A Tale of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol, and Hard Times; the last being the least known, least read of the bunch, but also my favorite.

I've had my snoot quite deep in books of late: read Toland's Adolf Hitler (meh), Dick's The Man in the High Castle (good writing, odd story), Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Tom Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities (just great: Wolfe is a terrific writer with an eagle eye for racial/cultural differences; my only small critique is that he belabored a few humorous points a little too much: the kike assistant DA Kramer with his "sternocleiomastoids")). Now, I'm in the midst of Moby Dick - and man, is it some dense stuff....

In the pipeline are Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago, Wolfe's A Man in Full & Doestoyevsky's Crime & Punishment: read part of the last some years back on my desktop; far too involved for that; ready to tackle it again while supine.

See you next year some time....

Solzhenitsyn was without a doubt one of the greatest writers of fiction and non-fiction of the 20th century; absolutely brilliant. Of his works I've read Ivan Denisovich, The Red Wheel: August 1914, Cancer Ward and The Gulag Archipelago vols. I and II (there's a vol. III which I've yet to read). Of those the Gulag series is easily the most engrossing. I read both in the early '70s before I really knew anything about the evils of Stalinist Russia and thought AS was exaggerating the horrendous conditions in the camps; thought no 20th century regime, communist or otherwise, could possibly inflict such suffering and cruelty on its own people. But I was dead wrong.

Crime and Punishment, written by Dostoevsky, the Russian novelist I admire most (Tolstoy receives all the esteem and glory, but I think he was a bore, and War and Peace way overrated), is my favorite of all his works; thought it better than his revered and more widely read The Brothers Karamazov. And if you're into the 19th century Russians an absolute must-read is Gogol's Dead Souls. Google it; this book is a fucking trip-and-a-half.

Of the scores of Dracula movies made over the decades 1992's Bram Stoker's Dracula, directed and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, is far and away the most akin, the most true to the novel; fuck all that Boris Karloff "I come to suck your blood!" b.s.

No, I didn't reach Linder's part yet. I'll comment when I reach it.

For those interested go to http:www.jrbooksonline.com/pdf_books/one_sheaf.pdf and scroll down to chapter 13, "News Without Jews".

btw: Finished vol. VIII of Durant's The Age of Louis XIV and am now on vol. IV The Age of Faith: A History of Civilization from Constantine to Dante: A.D. 325 - 1300. (I don't read the books in sequence; I like to hop from one era to another.) This one covers almost 1,000 years of history, whereas most books in the series cover two or three hundred at most; therefore it's a doorstop of 1,086 text pages.
