Awesome Urban Fantasy mixed with gun porn.

I found myself a pre-war 1938 British library copy of Mein Kampf at the bottom of a stack of books in a dark corner of a second-hand bookshop. Got it for a steal at 25 euro, now it sits on my desk while I play Company of Heroes as my wehrmacht StuGs and Ostwinds yolo across the map.

Sure, people should read that...as a warning against what can happen when we allow our human frailties to be manipulated.
Same with 'the communist manefesto' and mao's 'little red book'

As "Comrade" Jeeves said "t it is as well to know what tunes the devil is playing.”

Have you ever read any of those books or are you just parroting redditisms?

1. yes, I have, and much more about communism, actual fascism, the histories of such, and their interactions with humanity.

2. I don't do reddit, sorry.

3. Since you bring it up - have you?

About to finish The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett, first novel of the Discworld series. Not as good as I'd hoped, maybe I was expecting too much. Do the books get better as you go along?

They get funnier and more awesome after the third. The second book in the series is the continuation of the first but then the books begin to divide into storylines.I was bored by the third and stopped reading it mid-way.My all-time favorite book is the 5th,Sourcery.

Upon searching on a search engine for 'discworld reading order',these storylines come up:


  • Rincewind.
  • Death.
  • Witches.
  • City Watch.
  • Wizards.
  • Tiffany Aching.
  • Moist von Lipwig.
  • Discworld cultures.


What I did when I first started reading was reading up to the 8th book and then reading each storyline one by one.

This flowchart is from 2015.The most recent version I could find.

Enjoy! Smile

Just started reading a series called the Zombie Chronicles...
Interesting so far, not the best writing style, but its a good story.

That is awesome! OK, going to follow the flowchart. After I read Clark Ashton Smith, which I had to special order from a neighboring library, good a deadline. And then My Struggle, Book 1, by intense depressed Norweigan guy Karl Ove Knausgård. He's on Book 6 by now, and people love them and wait for them.

(I think it counts, maybe?) I've finally gotten around to reading the Initial D manga after watching the show. It's better than the show if you read it listening to eurobeat.

I only post here if EvE is offline. Which means my posts are never well timed.
