>and tell me how shitty it is?
Why do you want us to read it if it's shit? Just write something else instead.
>>
>>7636668
well by tell me how shitty it is I mean give me feedback and tell me what you think. Not that it's actually shitty, but rather that if you think it's shitty after reading it then tell me.

Has anyone here read pic related? I am very interested in reading up on the Islamic reformation movements that have been taking place in the past few decades.

Also related, what do you think of the idea that Islam today is at the same place Christianity was back in the middle ages?

Reform? It's called Sunni, Shia, Sufi, Ahmadiyya, Baha'is. All a total and utter failure. Those "moderate" Muslims preaching reform are involved in Taqiyya. Muslims are low IQ people, worshipping a mass murdering pedophile that's deemed perfect and must be emulated as much and as closely as possible. He’s the source of all evil. A source that no muslims is willing to denounce.
The Christians, at least, had Jesus, the Ten Commandments and Martin Luther.

Jesus the hippie > Muhammad the rapist.

Read Islam by Maajid Nawaz and Sam Harris.

Hey /lit/

I was thinking about becoming a BookTuber who reviews what I actually read (everything from Herodotus to Mishima to Lucian to Highsmith etc) and discusses what I understood of it rather than whether its "good" and then invites commentators (i.e. you) who understand the book better to take part in the conversation and educate me in understanding the books.

What do you think?

Write a blog. I'd rather read your average prose (you read a lot of books so I assume you can write) than look at your ugly face and listen to you blabbering incoherently about the first thing that comes to your mind.

Never heard its mention here, what do you think?

I liked it and then Asimov introduced some character described as looking like the Domino's Noid who could do space magic and then I thought it was shit.

This one's actually pretty good tee bee honest

The answer is actually both. Hofstadter introduces a lot of compelling topics in an interesting and insightful way, but his overall theories on everything fall flat. Like, it's a good book to learn about Godel's theorems, topics in computer science, and biology, but his ultimate explanation for how this ties into consciousness or the fabric of the universe or somesuch has little substance. Nonetheless, it's fun.
