Currently reading my way through the collected works of H.P. Lovecraft. Just finished The Rats In The Wall most recently.
The Coalition of Sovereign Nations is a group joined together to work towards a common goal: the preservation of every nation's Rights of Self-Governing against those who take it from them. Whether you would like to take an active part in this endeavor or whether you simply want to get away from all those regions and organizations intent on changing your nation, this Coalition is for you!
Signed, sincerely,
The Coalition of Sovereign Nations

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is a good book. I need to reread it. I finished On Basilisk Station the other day. It's a great book.

De Rijkdom van Saoed by Andreas Eschbach. It's the Dutch translation of Ausgebrannt. Both the original German print as well as the Dutch print were released in 2007.

Curious about all of Hitler's fanatic ideas for a Greater Germany and how he was able to use that rhetoric to come to power.


Why is it necessary to defend one's reading habits for right-wing authoritarian ideology, yet the countless Bernie Sanders readings get a sweeping pass? Communism was just as powerful – yet more bloody and disseminated – than the national socialist administration in Germany.

Anyway, I'm reading The Revolutionary Phenotype, by Jean-Francois Gariepy. It's a book that details the domination of an A.I. lifeform as the result of humanity's utilization of gene-editing technology. It's non-fiction, using mathematical and evolutionary principles to support its hypotheses.

At first I read Xenophon as xenomorph, so I was mildly confused.
