As a whiny, self-centred musician who doesn't have too many fans, The Hunger Artist is my favourite.

The main character is like a ten year old girl, and it has unicorns and shit, so I guess it was supposed to be for kids. But then again, people eat shit in hilariously gruesome ways, so either they were targeting some hardcore kids, or they were just hoping that parents wouldn't flip through it before buying it. Either way, lol.

Finally getting to read Gödel Escher Bach.
Absolutely ****ing brilliant and so up my lane.




Kafka is a bitch to translate.
Read some in English and Russian out of curiosity and something very important is missing. This is obviously always the problem with translations but Kafka looses more than a lot of other authors because of it.

We're starting this in the morning.
Excellent stories. Read nearly all of them.
I love this line, from where I do not know: "Gregor Samsa woke up, found he had not turned into an insect, and stormed off to find the author who had been spreading these nasty rumours about him ..."

After finishing a few more titles by Thich Nhat Hanh today, I've moved on to an intriguing book by Scott Galloway titled, The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google (2017).

After enjoying The Googlization of Everything (and Why We Should Worry) by Siva Vaidhyanathan back in 2011, I am definitely eager to explore the socio-cultural and economic implications of what Galloway has dubbed, The Four Horsemen of the global economy. The book is written with an editorial flare which keeps the otherwise drab subjects of economics and business engaging and entertaining.

Galloway introduces the subject with a brief history of enterprise, from hunter-gatherers to the corner store, to the age of malls and big box stores before the unparalleled explosion of e-commerce. He frames each of these revolutions in the context of their respective impact on the consumer and then dives into the histories of the seemingly indomitable behemoths which now rule the market.

In the final chapters, Galloway explores what we can learn from the success of these corporations and postulates where the Four are taking us in the years ahead.

And of course, I found this latest read... in a post... on Facebook.
