What are you reading right now? If you're not reading right now get a fucking book gaytard, broaden them motherfucking horizons. I'm rereading Dune right now because I love it, probably gonna pick up Iron Kingdom next paycheck.

Seneca's Letters to Lucilius. One of the best philosophy books I've ever read.

>>692 I've been interested in Dune, how hard would you recommend it?

OT I'm reading ASOIAF, I'm on ASOS right now. I thought GOT and the first bits of ACOK were kind of dull, but that might just have been because nothing new was going on and I'd already seen the show. The second half and ASOS has been fucking amazing though. That feel when you get a Jon/Tyrion section.

Les Misérables

it's been a long time since I have read something. I am really enjoying it. Last books I read were Surfacing by Margaret Atwood and The Red Pony by John Steinbeck.

The Selfish Gene. If you'd believe me, it's for work.

It sucks how I'm embarrassed to say the author's name. He used to be respectable before he became a templar of atheism.

Don't be embarrassed, without him who would the redditors and various neckbeards look up to so they can project their own shortcomings onto others? Sad thing is he is actually a pretty smart dude, he's just too egotistical. So where do you work where you are supposed to read? Something in genetics?

There's literally nothing wrong with atheism.

Nobody implied there was. There are many problems with Atheists however.

Reading through the >>>/cyber/ book recommendations. Just finished Stand on Zanzibar. It's amazing how a guy from the 50's accurately predicted the frightening future of 2012 where degeneracy is normal and the president is black and everyone is hypnotized by the media.

Nothing so exciting, unfortunately. Chances are if I were employed in genetics, I'd already know everything Dawkins talks about.

I'm doing summer work for a university as a research assistant. My job's actually to do a broad review of the third sector (as in, charity) and say where it'll be in thirty years or so. I dedicated a few pages to genetic explanations of altruism, because I find it interesting and I think I can spin it as useful.

Just started Halting State by Charles Stross. I've previously read Accelerando and wanted to delve into his other stuff.

(Accelerando is greatest all time potential btw)

I'm getting back into reading, but it's frustrating because my comprehension has completely whittled to shit. My eyes skim through entire paragraphs that mine as well be written in moonrunes no matter how slowly I read them, so now the plan is to treat myself like a fucking first grader and carefully annotate what's going on in each sentence until I cure myself of semi-retardation.

Decided to start with Blood Meridian, which was fine at first but it gradually became more descriptive and I began losing the motivations of some of the characters. No idea if that's a poor book for someone like me to start out with, but it's all I have for now.
