Book now reality.

Msm propaganda is quite telling when you pay attention to the topics they avoid.

The Oxford University Press is including some additions to the classic novel for today's sensitive youth.

New introduction focuses on the novel's elasticity and continued relevance for twenty-first-century readers, with attention to its queerness and its meditations on race, power, and disability

Which, as usual, is an excuse for people not involved with the creation of a work to talk about themselves.

The first chapter of this book is how the world is a spherical shape, a little squished on top and bottom, like a pomegranate.

Quin’s Shanghai Circus, by Edward Whittemore - May well be the best espionage novel of the 20th Century, as good as anything Graham Greene, John Le Carre or Somerset Maugham have written. It's a deep, dark, and magical read that does what Kafka tells us books should do     (neglectedbooks.com)

Quin’s Shanghai Circus which contains a graphic description of the horrors of the Japanese assault on the Chinese city of Nanking, is without a doubt an impressive work of story telling, although the novel is set mostly in Japan and China, Whittemore’s approach more resembles the intricacies of the most ornate Islamic scripts.

In which one wonders how anyone could manage to unravel a text from the twists and coils and overlapping strokes. It’s not surprising that he shifted his setting to the Middle East after this book. Whittemore spent some years working in the Far East for the CIA, doing just what is never revealed. NeglectedBooks.

SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police     (www.goodreads.com)
submitted by carnold03 to books 3 years ago (+1/-1)

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26168300-sjws-always-lie

Social Justice Warriors have plagued mankind for more than 150 years, but only in the last 30 years has their ideology become dominant in the West. Having invaded one institution of the cultural high ground after another, from corporations and churches to video games and government, there is nowhere that remains entirely free of their intolerant thought and speech policing.

Because the SJW agenda of diversity, tolerance, inclusiveness, and equality flies in the face of both science and observable reality, SJWs relentlessly work to prevent normal people from thinking or speaking in any manner that will violate their ever-mutating Narrative. They police science, philosophy, technology, and even history in order to maintain the pretense that their agenda remains inevitable in a modern world that contradicts it on a daily basis.

The book is named after the First Law of SJW: SJWs always lie. SJWS ALWAYS LIE is a useful guide to understanding, anticipating, and surviving SJW attacks from the perspective of a man who has not only survived, but thrived, after experiencing multiple attempts by Social Justice Warriors to disqualify, discredit, and disemploy him in the same manner they have successfully attacked Nobel Laureates, technology CEOs, broadcasters, sports commentators, school principals, and policemen. It analyzes well-known SJW attacks as well as the two most successful examples of resistance to the SJW Narrative, #GamerGate and Sad Puppies.

Written by Vox Day, Supreme Dark Lord of the Evil Legion of Evil and three-time Hugo nominee who is described as the most hated man in science fiction by Black Gate and The Wall Street Journal, SJWS ALWAYS LIE is a powerful weapon in the cultural war against the thought police.

Does anyone have any good ebook sites?     (books)

Few books I’d like to read but have struggled to find print versions so just wondering if anyone has any good ebook sites. I have a kindle I very rarely use so ideally scripts I could download to that. Presently looking for Camp of the Saints by Raspail, the Turner Diaries by Pierce, and My Confession: Recollections of a Rogue by Chamberlain - so if anyone could point me in the direction of any or all of those titles it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The True Story pdf by Satirist Lucian of Samosata, Born 125 AD in Roman Syria - This tract that parodies Homer's Odyssey is regarded by many as the first ever science fiction work insofar as the protagonist visits the Moon, meets extraterrestrial creatures and takes part in interplanetary warfare     (www.gutenberg.org)

https://www.gutenberg.org/files/45858/45858-h/45858-h.htm

Widely hailed as the first ever science fiction story, A True Story by Lucian of Samosata is a voyage to the edges of the universe and reason, the title is the first clue that this will be a tall tale and as much a predecessor of Douglas Adams as Jules Verne.

Lucian's fantasy explores not only outer space where he brokers war and peace between the inhabitants of the Sun and Moon, but also the Elysian fields, the geography of the Odyssey and the interior of a giant whale.

We get to meet Homer, Pythagoras, Socrates and other immortals, as well as a host of bizarre creatures .. the text is riddled with puns, innuendo, parody and satire, however much of this humor will escape the modern reader, suffice it to say this was considered pretty funny in the second century CE.

My brother,—Sit and think,
While yet some hours on earth are left to thee;
Kneel to thy God, who does not from thee shrink,
And lay thy sins on Christ, who died for thee.

He rests His wounded hand
With loving kindness, on thy sin-stained brow,
And says—“Here at thy side I ready stand,
To make thy scarlet sins as white as snow.

“I did not shed My blood
For sinless angels, good and pure and true;
For hopeless sinners flowed that crimson flood,
My heart’s blood ran for you, my son, for you.

“Though thou hast grieved me sore,
My arms of mercy still are open wide,
I still hold open Heaven’s shining door,
Come then—take refuge in My wounded side.

“Men shun thee—but not I,
Come close to me—I love my erring sheep.
My blood can cleanse thy sins of blackest dye,
I understand, if thou canst only weep.”

Words fail thee—never mind,
Thy Saviour can read e’en a sigh, or tear;
I came, sin-stricken heart, to heal and bind,
And died to save thee—to My heart thou’rt dear.

Come now—the time is short,
Longing to pardon and to bless, I wait;
Look up to Me, My sheep so dearly bought,
And say, “forgive me, e’er it is too late.”
