What was the last book you read?

I just finished Stephen King's IT due to all the hype of the movie remake. Haven't seen the original film. I really disliked the book and wouldn't recommend it. Far too long and wasn't even the slightest bit scary or disturbing.

Last book I read.. The Secret Teaching of all Ages by Manly P. Hall

Covers all aspects of life and how the world really works (especially the spiritual world & it's many mystery religions) Currently reading Bloodlines of the Illuminati by Fritz Springmeier.

I started reading "IT" a couple decades ago and lost interest after getting through 1/4th of the book. Kudos for finishing it, even though you didn't like it.

I'm fond of Latin classics. I read "De officiis" ("On duties") by Cicero two months ago. I found it extremely up-to-date even though it was written in the first century BC. That's what I love about such books, the teachings that can be found there are just evergreen. Maybe it's not the kind of reading most people would choose but, anyway, I definitely recommend it.

The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Career of Ed and Lorraine Warren

Great read that covers their career experiences and very educational, who better to understand from than those who've been doing it for 40+ years. After a couple decades of my own personal experiences from time to time attempted to find the best understanding of the matter, and let me tell you, once started I couldn't put it down till finished and the book taught me a lot.

@Unthinkabl3 Sounds interesting, I should check those out, I recommend to you the one I posted here. Been meaning to give 1984 a read as well.

Whats up bro, thanks for sharing; it appears we are interested in the same subjects - and we are both awake looking towards the hordes of sheep with indifference and sadness lol

Last two books I read:

A General Theory of Love by Thomas Lewis, really interesting book on psychology and neurobio.

The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity by Carlo Cipolla, a short book but a lot of wisdom.

I read "The subtle art of not giving a fuck". It's a self-help book about how to live life a little better, or a strategy on how to be happy and finding what's important to you. Talks about values throughout the whole book.

I don't rate it as highly as amazon/barnes&noble (4/5). I give it 3/5. A little too much cursing and elementary writing style. Learned some stuff about myself, and it changed my perspective on life a little. An OK book.

The book before that, that I would like to finish is "The omnivores dilemma". Takes a look at where your food comes from, theory of evolution and what we're designed to eat (complicated!), and a little bit of technical chemistry with protons/neutrons and corn. Makes great argument that all flesh is grass. He also argues that zea mays (corn) came close to going extinct, if not for humans. Makes you realize that corn is in everything and has a billion uses; excerpt:

"Corn is what feeds the steer that becomes the steak. Corn feeds the chicken and the pig, the turkey and the lamb, the catfish and the tilapia and, increasingly, even the salmon, a carnivore by nature that the fish farmers are re-engineering to tolerate corn. The eggs are made of corn. The milk and cheese and yogurt, which once came from dairy cows that grazed on grass, now typically come from Holsteins that spend their working lives indoors tethered to machines, eating corn."

The Art of War by Sun Tzu, and I hated it.

I'm reading Histoire de France ( 1924 ) by Jacques Bainville.

My favrite book is The Junge Book by Rudyard Kipling.

I can't really read anymore, but I do use a very nice little booklet called "Tales and poems of E. A. Poe" for when I go take a shit. I always find that reading a few lines of text gets the bowels going, you know? I open it on a random page and read the first line that hits my eye. Two lines down the road: Bingo!

What has been read cannot be unread.
