![]() ![]() Reading both of these books for the second time now.
I am taking photos of the pages each chapter at a time and reading on the phone. I read "The 48 laws of power" before but it was years ago and I have changed. Already read "Keep Calm And Carry On" also but just feel it's worth reading again. Last edited by Mindfulness; 11-28-2020 at 04:19 PM. |

^ When I read the 48 laws of power way back in 2014, I was drinking every night so most of it just went in the brain, and then by the morning I probably didn't retain anything.
Reading with a sober mind this time.. I completely see why this book is banned from jails & prisons.... ![]() I am on chapter 7 right now and it's got me hooked... |

A.E. Houseman
A Shropshire Lad and other collection poems this is essential London sadboy poetry that I heard about because Ezra Pound has a poem where he makes fun of him called "Mr. Housman's message" "O woe, woe, People are born and die, We also shall be dead pretty soon Therefore let us act as if we were dead already. The bird sits on the hawthorn tree But he dies also, presently. Some lads get hung, and some get shot. Woeful is this human lot. Woe! woe, etcetera... London is a woeful place, Shropshire is much pleasanter. Then let us smile a little space Upon fond nature's morbid grace. Oh, Woe, woe, woe, etcetera...." you can practically feel him rolling his eyes through the poem lol

If you're confused about my post, it's about Ezra Pound, which is why I highlighted his name...
