I’m all for it and hopeful. For the first time I’m beginning to feel that there’s a real chance that even the US could move towards a General Strike before too long in response to how drastically conditions are collapsing across the board.

N & G is one I have not read by Hesse, and I can say the same for The Iron Heel in regards to London. I have really enjoyed both authors though I haven’t read them in a long time. Cheers for the recommendations.

I’ll second Long Walk to Freedom. While I think it’s a book that everyone can profit from reading, if you have interest in that subject I think it’s a no-brainer.

Our Share of Night by Mariana Enríquez, translated by Megan McDowell

I’ve been reading such a long list of rave reviews from authors like Kazuo Ishiguro and Alan Moore and publications like the LA Review of Books as well as hearing the same from close friends that I finally bumped this book to the top of my backlog stack.

It’s a horror book set in the early '80s in Argentina, weaving the kind of mystical conspiracy of Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum or Pérez-Reverte’s The Club Dumas and Ninth Gate novels over and through the very real state terrorism of the Argentinian Junta’s Dirty War. I’m only about 75 pages into the 600 or so, and the slow-burn opening is just now starting to unfold into something more overtly disturbing, but the deceptively simple/basic prose creates a remarkably sophisticated and subtle story that is creeping into me like magic. Disturbing magic, lol.

Highly recommend.

That’s hot. Also I hadn’t realized Dylan Dog was still going. 367, wow. I feel like rewatching Cemetary Man.

As long as the Democratic Party is run by the same neoliberal establishment there will be a place for grotesque sociopaths like her and Terry McAuliffe. Thank you for remembering that she played a key part in stealing the 2016 primary from Sanders as laid out in “the emails!!!” that everyone likes to pretend didn’t contain anything horrible.

That should be the national flag.

What a tough question to answer, stretching all the way back to Atari 2600 for me.

I think I’ll pick No Mercy/Virtual Wrestling Pro 2 on the N64. Possibly thousands of hours both solo and competitive at a friends with some incredible round robin tournaments with up to five participants. Just amazing Create A Wrestler and one of my handful of favorite gameplay mechanics ever. Also we were paying during the exciting days of pro wrestling so we had that enthusing us as well.
