Is there any reason to read this stuff besides masturbating to Betty and Veronica?

And what books have you read this year so far, anons?

I'm currently reading an anthology of horror or madness stories, 19 in total, and unsurprisingly the worst story was written by a woman, nothing written after 1930.

Just binged a few detective novels by Keigo Higashino. Then I noticed that redditors have been up in arms for years about a more experimental book of his called Himitsu (known as Naoko in English translations). It's a very interesting read about a dude who's forced to live with his wife's soul being inside their daughter's body but I hated the ending. Not the lame "denouement" one but the real ending where the main character finally realizes what is truly going on and then I understood why the faggy Goodreads types suck it off constantly it's feminist propaganda, although they pretend it's just something normal and people who feel uncomfortable with the final twist must be chuds.

Finished another Toaru novel. NT Volume 18. In this one Kamachi integrates the biographical information about Aleister Crowley. Now, the mysterious man floating in the tube is confirmed as a serious pervert who used to attend orgies and write erotica. (His plans and motives are revealed as well.) This one was kinda strange because about a third of it was Touma experiencing visions from Crowley's past. Some of the vision segments were a bit of a slog, but overall I still enjoyed this one.

Toaru NT volume 19
In which the gimmick is making the majority of the story about a guy in a powered suit, while Touma basically goes on dates with a new girl. It was entertaining. There's a lot more going on but nothing more needs to be said.

Bakemonogatari vol 1
I went into this blind, knowing nothing about the series, and my expectations were met. The stories are clever, like you'd expect from a established mystery writer, but as the author himself says its mostly just about characters talking to each other. I picked up a physical print of the book for cheap. My only gripe with the official translation is that there was one sequence where they kept talking about kanji symbols, but didn't actually show them in the book.

My Vampire Older Sister and Zombie Little Sister Have Gotten Into a Pretty Serious Fight…Only in Virtual Reality Though
Despite what the name might suggest this is a cleverly written web novel that explores what might happen if a vampire girl and zombie girl were to engage in an all-out warfare. Veers in directions you wouldn't expect.
Can be downloaded in English here:

Poe's Murder in the Rue Morgue
Considered by some to be the first ever detection story. It holds up pretty well. The first half almost reads as a treatise or foundational text for the very idea of a detective story, and then the second half presents the mystery. It reads like he felt the need to justify the idea of a genius detective, since they weren't yet a common fixture in literature. I'd recommend going into this blind since there's a lot spoilers for the ending online.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to read Philip K. Dick and Graham Greene, both of whom I enjoy.

The Action Bible- Converted From EPUB Into PDF

The Action Bible is a retelling of the Judeo-Christian Bible in comic book form written and edited by Doug Mauss and illustrated by Sergio Cariello for David C. Cook, published in 2010. Andre LeBlanc's 1978 The Picture Bible was a major influence on the project.

Plot
The story is very similar to the Bible however some parts are modified both to fit the medium, and to fit a younger audience. The story is split into two major parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Historical events
The book includes mentions of Alexander of Macedon and the celebration of Hanukkah as well as the arrival of the Roman Empire in Israel.

Over the years I've been fascinated by the council of Trent and what the selection process for the canon was like in 1546. Apparently they just copy-pasted the list from a similar council held in Rome all the way back in 382. That's more than a 1,000 years between them.

Different covers Anonymous 03/27/26(Fri)07:52:04 No.6352 [Reply]

I stumbled across something really funny recently. There's a japanese series of novels called Guin Saga. Content-wise, it's usually compared to Conan the Barbarian. (I haven't read it.) It's a long running series and has been translated into a bunch of different languages, but what's really interesting is that one country has really shitty covers. I'll post a few different variants on the first book to start off. In order these are:
>English
>Italian
>French
>French Again
>Some Eastern European language

Guin Saga was one of the direct sources of inspiration for Miura while making Berserk. There are also some similarities with Vampire Hunter D, although I suspect if there was any influence there, it was more about aesthetic than content. But yeah, I know your point is that the Japanese covers are simply a lot more tasteful and congruent with what the books are actually about.

History books Anonymous 06/18/22(Sat)12:47:29 No.3430 [Reply]

These are some history books I've been reading lately.

The Story of Civilization Part 11: The Age of Napoleon. I'm usually not a fan of Will Durant but this is book provides a good synopsis of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic era in France. Those parts of the book make a nice little companion piece to David Chandler's "Campaigns of Napoleon". The book spreads itself too thing, though, by trying to cover every facet of Western Civilization during that period. For example, there's an entire chapter dedicated to Beethoven and several more just about poets and philosophers of the time. It's just too much to tackle in a meaningful way in just a single volume. Even the three-volume Encyclopedia of French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars failed to do that. Interestingly, neither that work or this has a section about Edmund Burke. There are offhand mentions made here and there (usually portraying him as the embodiment of stuffy English opposition to the revolutionaries) but no serious examination of him like there is about the other significant English philosophers of his day. This is especially surprising from Durant given his fascination with the history of philosophy.

The Italian Wars 1494-1559. This is the book I could find covering what was essentially the first modern European conflict. It does a decent job of giving a rundown of the events without doing that gay pop-history thing of trying to be like a novel. Personally I would have liked a little more focus on the military aspect over the political but I realize that's just my own autism.

Four Princes: Henry VIII, Francis I, Charles V, Suliman the Magnificent and the Obsessions that Forged Modern Europe. This covers roughly the same period as the Italian Wars but focuses on the lives of the titular four rulers who dominated Europe in the first half of the 16th century. Most of the figures it discusses, outside of those four, are portrayed in a rather one-dimensional way. It reminded me of the documentaries the History Channel used to air before it became all about pawnshops and aliens. Overall, it's okay I guess.

China Condensed Absolute shit. It reads like a summery of a Wikipedia article but without citing any sources and even more fabrications. It presents highly contested theories (like the Huns being the same people as the Xiongnu) and legends as facts. It's also very biased; it glorifies China as much as Post too long.

>To be honest, I've never been too inspired by the Founding Fathers outside of what they did to fight for independence. They may have been racially aware in some respects and a bit shitlordish by modern standards, but they all seem to have fallen short in terms of what they actually emphasized.
Yeah I get they wanted to create their own project, the problem was that project was inherently corrupted by "enlightenment values" that led to the problems we have today.
>the whole natural rights things comes across as silly to me too
Yeah the idea of "rights" in general in the enlightment terms are just fucking stupid in the context of the current year and even back than.
>although I definitely agree with them wanting to put the kibosh on hereditary monarchy
If they were able to continually pump out caesars without their aftermath upon their death I'd be okay with it as well, personally I would prefer an immortal worm-king/god emperor.

I just came across a few more quotes that I thought were worth posting. It really seems to me that neo-Confederates have done a disservice to the Confederacy by uncritically adopting the Quid outlook, as if the Quids weren't clueless and out of touch just like the Northern Republicans. The antebellum Davis Democrats and their successors among the Confederates were clearheaded enough to put aside the excessive hamstringing of the federal government that the Quids wanted and also the petty bickering along sectionalist, religious, class, and ethnic lines that it seems like everyone else was guilty of. They wanted white power above all.

Outside of their complete ignorance of the Jay Cue, they do seem like a pretty good template for a modern American nationalist movement. While within living memory it wasn't at all uncommon for Northerners to admire things about the Confederates or certain people within the Confederacy, I think a lot of people have been under the impression that the Confederacy was strictly against non-Southerners. Although there were people like that, Jefferson Davis was more broadminded and saw himself as holding up the ideas of the American Revolution as a whole. I tend to dislike the modern-day cheerleaders of the Union and the Confederacy, who seem to be all about seething over the other side over 150 years later, but I think it's well past the time people started giving credit where credit is due. And in that spirit, I think Northerners should be less shy to embrace the better parts of the Confederacy. It's not like there weren't guys in the North who sympathized with people like Davis back then anyway.

As gay as I think it is for people to fret over finding historical precedents for their own views (as if every viewpoint or ideology wasn't novel at one time), it does feel reassuring to find genuine American antecedents to the modern alternative right (or whatever you want to call it) before and during the Civil War.

I'm not opposed to everything that came out of the Enlightenment, but it definitely had its excesses.

We only had to listen. Why didn't we stop it?

I finally got around to finishing this book and recommend it. Here's an interview with the author where he goes over the premise:

This one's mostly dealing with a mix of 20th century and very recent history.
