Still reading Rising Up and Rising Down: Some Thoughts on Violence, Freedom and Urgent Means by William Vollmann.
That sound interesting, care to elaborate a bit? Do you like it? What genre is it? Any comparisons to something else?
I think it's a good read on a topic I don't have a lot of experience with. I'm not sure which genre it falls under and I don't really have anything else to compare it to. I'll upload images to help others better understand.
That is interesting... and gives me the creeps.
Yeah, I agree. Then I realized the reason it give me the creeps is because I don't have any experience with this topic at any real depth.
I learned a long time ago, the only reason I every fear something is because I'm ignorant about said thing.
The more I read this book, the less ill feelings it gives me.
