I am qualified to know this having never seen any of the films. Can’t be true as I’ve only ever seen one Star Wars (took my younger cousin) and thought it was shite. Link to comment

Correct! seen the first couple growing up but never really appealed to me more of a book reader anyway but more Herbert,koontz and Richard layman.also like ancient history books such as the epic of Gilgamesh, the Iliad and the odyssey. Quite liked the sick fucks of the old playwrites like Aristophanes and Euripides also Sophocles Link to comment

Just another wild generalisation but as always with such instruments, many grains of truth therein. Are you a fan of the “classics” would thought it would appeal to your meticulous nature and would imagine themes and philosophies written within would please you? 1 minute ago, Bluto10 said: any Fyodor Dostoyevsky? Am more into ancient aspects of life back then, Dostoyevsky is a bit modern for my liking when reading more serious literature, more anthropological aspects like sociology, religious leanings don’t really float my boat but will read into him and see what he has to say!, his darker themes on poverty look interesting!,cheers bluto for the tip Link to comment
Dons79 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Would also say that reading the Sumerian bible is terrifyingly terrific!, one of the first religious writings (the first mention of Noah’s ark in written form pre dating the bible by thousands of years) but it’s the demons and afterlife which are at best the most sadistic end to a life one can expect to have!, or not. Tormented in perpetual agony by one of the many beasts!smashing! 1 Link to comment
Dons79 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 13 minutes ago, rocket_scientist said: Depends which classics. Metaphysics was probably my favourite of the old Greeks but read a few of them without enthusiasm. Socrates and Plato were great minds. Read a lot of the "classic" literature, much of which is excellent. Thomas Hardy particularly appealed when I was 14/15 ish. Not so much Dickens. Aye just the playwrites, some are really entertaining and funny, Aristophanes, Sophocles and Euripides.were very clever political satirists of their time Link to comment

A remarkable insight into the human mind but.., the more things change they stay the same . Mostof their words are very relevant today. Completely agree 1 Link to comment

Mind seeing a boy walking straight through the departure gate still in his survival suit at Bristow after defecating in his pants on the chopper (coming back from Bleo Holm) The struggle is real.

Got to include a chapter that covers the early years/backstory of how you got to where you are, boning Brooke Satchwell etc. Be a must read. Link to comment
