Nice. I'm reading Northanger Abbey, by Jane Austen. It's a great parody of the gothic genre; I really recommend it.

Killing Patton by Bill O’Reilly

I got bored of How to Lead. I read a little more than half of it. Now, I am reading Alien Oceans The Search for Life In the Depths of Space by Kevin Peter Hand. It is about Enceladus, Europa, and Titan and the possibility of life on moons in our solar system. It starts with some background on life around deep sea thermal events on Earth. I am reading about how far off planets composition are studied using gravity, spectroscopy, and electromagnetism.

Les Paradis artificiels, by Charles Baudelaire.

I'm re-reading All the Weyrs of Pern by Anne McCaffrey.

I'm currently reading "The Cultural Politics of Emotion" by Sara Ahmed, as well as "The Green book" by Muammar al-Gaddafi. I'm also always reading the Bible.

There is a great song about Gaddafi by Blakk Rasta called "Blakk Rasta - Gaddafi ft. Fiifi Selah".

One of my all time favorite books besides the Bible is the "Han Feizi", I would recommend it to anyone interested in politics, especially if they hold an interest in the political philosophy of ancient china.

Besides that I have a few books on my to do list, one of them is "The Muqaddimah" by Ibn Khaldun, another one is "A discourse on government" by Nakae Chōmin.

I'm reading political philosophy and philosophy in general since I was about 14 to 15 years old. Back than I read a lot of ancient and medieval European philosophy. Than I became interested in the philosophy of the enlightenment especially Swedenborg and Rousseau. After that I grew interested in how dictatorships form, so I read the works by many famous dictators, good dictators like Mao Zedong, Stalin, Ho-Chi Minh, Kim Il-sung and Kwame Nkrumah and also the works of terrible human beings like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. I also read a lot of North Korean literature.

By the way I don't call Mao and co. good dictators because I think there politics were great, I call them good dictators because I think there intentions, of freeing there people from colonial oppression were honorable.

Anyways I wanted to get out of all that dictatorship stuff and think about more happy subjects, so I now started studying the great influential political works of different cultures.

If I made any mistakes writing this messages, I'm sorry, English isn't my first language.
