I just started reading 'Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller Sr.' by Ron Chernaw it's about the baron of Standard Oil from birth to death. His father "Devil Bill" was a patent medicine flimflam man and at one point in time "Devil Bill" lived with his wife and housekeeper(his side piece) and he fathered 4 children between the two of them in a 2 year span

John D. was apparently a cool customer never really emotive, more of an automaton than a human but there was one person who could make him get his hackles up and that was muckraker IDA TARBELL

Just read 'War is a Racket' by General Smedley Butler it's more of a pamphlet than a book....decent read though, gives a real interesting perspective.

I am about to start Dark Trade by Donald McCrae. Some on here have praised it and it seems like a nicely written book in terms of journalistic breeziness from my brief glances so far. Plus I love boxing, so it is a win win. Should keep me busy on these completely non winter like evenings.

Oh, and I delayed Hitler until later. I know a lot about Hitler anyway and want to save that until I am ready to be depressed. Men with rough childhoods punching each other in the face until oblivion is easier going for the time being.

I finished Bukowski and Kerouac and both were good but utterly depressing. Reminded me why I don't get drunk anymore.

You know that is not the definition and yet you want to hang your virtue signalling flag around it to avoid facing the uncomfortable truth that the wave of populism you support and have helped usher in, is full of fascists and Nazis. Ushered in by your piss poor excuse for an alternative media that is run by the far right and people who revel in kneeling on black guys necks. Your attempts at pretending to be the reasonable adult in the room went out the window when you start calling people 'tard' . This is a book review thread and yet still you can't avoid the temptation to use is to grandstand and soapbox about your twisted whiny fucking alt right bullshit.

You have literally hundreds of threads in which you can regale is all with tales of how oppressed you are because someone other than you got to eat breakfast today.

No I am going to thumb that up simply because of that catchy phrase "pathetic little shitweasel". Seriously.

How about you just sit on your thumb?
