What I'm Reading -- How About You?

[Apologetic_Warrior]

AW, after you sent me the epub I decided to create and post R.B.C. Howell's work on the covenants in epub.

The Covenants (free epub) « Feileadh Mor

I tried to download but took me to a different site and couldn't without creating an account, which I didn't. I'd also like to find a copy of John Gill's work on Covenant Theology. I bid on a nice copy on eBay not too long ago, but got outbid of course.

I never noticed that before...that you have to have an account to download from the site. I posted half a dozen epubs on there.

The account is free, no spam mail and you can have access to all the files I post.

The movie is only very loosely based on the books. I would have enjoyed the movie more if it hadn't claimed to be the stories in the books. Dejah Thoris was very feminine in the books (she was NOT a warrior), but was also very influential and honorable. The world would have stopped to listen every time she opened her mouth.

Reading Burroughs has been educational about the mindset of the 1920's regarding evolution and racism. This is true in every book of his that I've read. He makes it apparent that evolution, eugenics, and racism are all tied at the hip, not because he says so, but because you get to take in all the assumptions he was making.

At the same time, it's interesting to note how honorable people were, even the bad guys. His books were either expressing optimistic expectations for people, or people in general really were more honorable back then.

Haven't seen the movie. Yet. Burroughs was very much into the humanism of his time. He thought that science was the answer to man's problem. I had very little compassion for the suffering of man as a consequence of reading his books so much when I was young.

What always caught my eye, were the painted covers, especially covers by Frank Frazetta.

Yes they fueled my imagination as a hormone filled young man.

In my opinion, John Stewart Mill's "On Liberty" contains the best defense of the antithesis ever written.

"On Liberty" is one of those few books I return to. It's really no more than a short essay, definitely a one-sitting read. But, I always start it too late and always wind up loosing sleep behind it. All tolled over several readings and as many decades, I've most likely lost a full nights sleep behind Mr. Mill's wonderful work.

Thank you, Mr. Mill, wherever you are.

What can I say...I like pulp fiction. Here's what I'm reading now:

I've read just about all of this series, and was always hoping that one of the sequels could capture what the first book had: conversations between John Carter and Deja Thoris. The interactions the two of them had before they really knew each other was very clever. But, alas, none of the sequels ever did it as well as the first book.

You have inspired me to come out of the closet. I am a John Ringo fan.
There, I said it.
