Gracii Guns Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Finished 1984. It would have been more interesting if most of the details in it hadn't already become cultural tropes.Rather contrastingly, since I've started reading a book called God's Smuggler. It's an autobiography of a Dutch missionary who would smuggle bibles behind the Iron Curtain- to support the churches which continued to exist at a time when religious practise was outlawed to different degrees. It's a bit of a classic within Christian circles, though I hadn't read it myself. It's interesting to read the two books as a pair. GS is very engaging and often funny. I've read several books from various viewpoints on living in the Soviet states- and my general impression of those times was that you could basically get by as long as you didn't appear to have any opinions which disagreed with the government.

Horrible dingy little ratholes for middle aged peepers in long coats desperately trying to avoid eye contact. Adult literature my fuckin' arse, yeah, cuz literature always comes in brown paper bags so's passers by dont clock on that you're a fuckin' creep eh?

supercool Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 what is commonly called "popular music" is not popular, it's industrial music for the masses. popular music is something else, it's something traditional, deeply rooted in the former generations of human beings. popular music has disappeared a long time ago. i've been reading thomas harris' books, they're more interesting than the movies (manhunter by michael mann was so bad).

Len Cnut Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Pop music, that bollocks that the general public listen to that is sold to us by major record labels since the initial popularity of rock n roll, all the way down to whatever shit it is that kids listen to nowadays, pop music, popular music.
