Bump!
Churchill came up in another thread. I’ll put these here. I don’t know a lot about him. I could probably get The Mister to book group a Churchill book with me since he likes history.
I’ve been watching some Jordan Peterson lectures, and this book keeps coming up. It sounds sooo dark, which makes me hesitate. Did you ever try it, @Legalsteel? I’ve been reading a Holocaust memoir, that’s just beautiful prose. Ruth Kluger’s Still Alive. It’s very sad, but has so much heart. Really. She’s a poet. Debating about trying Ghulag because I can only take so many really serious, sad, cruelty of humanity books. It seems like JP has everybody reading Nietzsche or Ghulag.
For people thinking of philosophy and religion, this one came up in another thread. Something @EyeDentist recommended. I picked it up, but haven’t started it yet.
Also, for people thinking about meaning in life, I’ll put this here. A classic along those lines. @anonym, this might help since you’re cleaning your room and slaying dragons. smile. He certainly accepted that life is suffering, and his use of logos is profound, and ties in.
