  • Picked up The Adventures of Caleb Williams (Godwin) and The Devils (Dostoyevsky) last week for 10 bucks, practically new, both are very good reads if you're into conspiracy, propaganda, history, and social theories.

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>The characters of Caleb Williams are fairly representative of the different classes in society, and the book is a shot at the wealthy class. The Devils (I'm still not finished this one yet, it's about 800 pages long) is actually the opposite; in that it is a shot at progression and pro-wealthy noble class. The characters in The Devils seem to rather be based on actual people in Russian society. It's a very interesting read.</div>
