action Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) I'm halfway through 1984 and my god, what a spectacular book it is. So much of what is going on today: the desexualisation of women, the removal of free speech / individuality / spirituality, the uniformality of music, movies, smartphones with movement trackers and social media with their ridiculous indoctrination and hate spreading... the seeds are all here as we speak Edited March 1, 2020 by action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracii Guns Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 This is my current read. Fairly short, easygoing rock 'n' roll story. Oh, I finally finished Heloise and Abelard and my only conclusion is that he wasn't worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash's was more entertaining. His comments on open G tuning have stayed with me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 It was very timely to read Daisy Jones straight after Heloise and Abelard. They're both about falling in love with someone who is unattainable. Have to say that for the early middle ages, Heloise was far more erotic than Daisy Jones in the era of free love. I never considered myself a romance reader . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash's was more entertaining. His comments on open G tuning have stayed with me though It is brilliant. It is much better than Slash's, but then Keef has had a much more interesting life than Slash. No wonder Jagger was infuriated with it as Keef said Mick had a ''little todger'' haha. He also confesses to shagging Marianne Faithfull. It really spills the beans on the '60s and '70s. PS This whole narrative where Jagger and Richards buried the hatchet for Steel Wheels seems a bit too convenient and is rather debunked by Richards. The feud rather continued in many aspects. Richards does a character assassination on Jagger during the Voodoo Lounge/Babylon periods. Control freakery and trend-setting. The usual Jagger tropes. The usual lead singer tropes.

Gracii Guns Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 This is my next one. It's doing the rounds at the moment as more parents are home educating. This is the story of a girl who grew up with no formal schooling, but self taught and earned degrees from Cambridge and Harvard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you feel very sorry for Dracula. Never read the Harry Potter books, but saw the movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
