poast-bortem!poast-bortem! Idiot
edited October 2010 in Spurious Generalities
I was thinking if anyone is interested we could all pick a book, read it, then review it together. We should stick to short stories and easy reading to get started, and if people are really dedicated maybe we can move on to more intense literature.

I'm out of ideas atm but go ahead and suggest some stories you think would be entertaining. I will do my best to track down and link people to an ebook version of every story, or they can find it themselves and post it along with their recommendation.

    I highly recommended either Mein Kampf or The Turner Diary's.

    The Turner Diaries looks like a fun and interesting story.

    It says the writing style was based on this book which also looks kinda good:

    I live 2 blocks from my library so I ran over there but they didn't have it. I will either buy a copy or use the one I linked for you guys. I'm going to read Turner Diaries regardless of what we choose.

    I'd also recommended Hunter by the same author.

    Yeah I looked into that one as well. I'll probably read it afterward.

    I started TTD and it seems awesome so far, but I gotta go now.

    You can read? And that didn't put you off Mein Kampf? How fucking badly written did it need to be? Scrawled in crayon?

    I suggest 'Crash' by J.G. Ballard, or 'The Uncommon Reader' by Alan Bennett.

    Well, I've certainly been put in my place. But I can't help feel that you havn't actually read those books, and merely added their titles to your swastika to be cool and edgy, amiright?

    I think this is a great idea but we need to decide on which book to read. I haven't read either so whatever is decided is fine with me. Maybe we should vote. Poll?

    Well, we can either vote or go with Turner Diaries. That's up to you guys. I've already started it so I'll be commenting on it once I'm finished. Personally I don't think it matters what we do first because I'm predicting we'll have plenty of time to cover everything. Plus I'm assuming people will randomly read some of the suggestions on their own time regardless of if it's the "current" book, and hopefully once they are finished they can come in and tell us what they thought or encourage us to read it sooner rather than later. Let's try to be generally open ended about this because I believe being overly organized is obnoxiously tedious.

    If you can find an audio version of the Turner diary's that would be fucking awesome. I lost my copy in a house fire.

    I'd say it's the most erotic book I've ever read. Don't bother with the film though, it's a god awful face rape for such a respectable author.

    I'm somewhere around Chapter XI of the Turner Diaries. I'm very pleased with it so far...

    I'm not a white supremacist for the record. Turner Diaries is just an interesting book.

    If you like Turner Diaries, you'll most likely enjoy Hunter as well. I prefer Hunter, it's has less fiction to it than TD.

    Mein Kampf wasn't badly written, I always hear this critique and no one ever elaborates.

    Jack London's novels are AWESOME, the Iron Hell is highly recommendable.

    It's been wondered whether JL was the author of might is right as well, being my favourite book. My 2nd guess would be Neitzsche.

    Ive always believed he wrote it. A lot of people said no but the style and views fit him pretty well. Ive never heard the theory Nietzsche wrote it before. Even though Im not an atheist I'm a big Nietzsche fan. Hit theory's on the overman and advancing to become beyond good and evil were great.

    It wasn't so much the writing style that irritated me as the rambling pointlessness of the whole text. Who cares what he thought about boxing, or smoking? All the lifestyle guidance just confirms that what he was trying to create was closer to cult than party or state.

    Everyone in their right mind should read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Given the young age of many of you, it may even be assigned reading at some point in your highschool career. Amazing book.

    I gave TGG a chance but got bored. I might try it again.

    For anyone who has already read Turner Diaries:
    Although I like it a lot so far, I think it's kinda hypocritical. He goes on and on about all the horrible "atrocities" commited by non whites, using that argument to justify his cause, but somehow has no problem on the day of the rope when they hang a ton of women for being "race traitors." Although I can see how in that situation, from their perspective, it's pretty much do or die so the means justify the ends, but it still seems kinda fucked in the head. I'm going to finish it up in a day or so. I'm only reading it online otherwise I would be done already.

    I do see how it could be viewed as fucked up but you have to think of it as a war. In war a lot of morals go out the window so purifying the destructive elements could be seen as a good thing imo.
