  • There are only a couple on there I have actually read, a few more I’ve heard of. The Cormac McCarthy books I enjoyed, insofar as one can enjoy those subjects (The Road and Blood Meridian). The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K LeGuin is one I’d recommend to fantasy/scifi fans. And when I was younger I didn’t enjoy it, but I always find myself engaged with Hemingways stories even when I think I won’t be (A farewell to arms).






  • I agree with you and would say the same thing to my Trump supporting colleagues about Bernie in particular, circa 2016:

    “I get it you hate socialism, and Bernie is going to turn us into Venezuela or whatever, but do you really believe that is his intent? Or do you believe, as wrong as he may be, that he thinks he’s doing the right thing and trying to help people.”

    Most would always agree, that although he is wrong and a communist fascist socialist dope, he is earnest.

    But back to the paradoxical supporters of Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders, I think the genuineness is a big draw, but the politics are not completely incompatible… they both agreed on one big thing in different ways… Ron Paul wanted to audit the Fed, Bernie wanted to tax billionaires. They both were going after the masters of the universe pockets.
