TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Nechayev was a contemporary of Mikhail Bakunin, a Russian nihilist/anarchist who set up revolutionary cells over Russia, killed a guy for disagreeing with him, went on the run over Europe and spent the rest of his life in a Russian labour camp.

...I'm posting this for the lulz, because seriously at this moment I'm reading Star Wars X-Wing : Rogue Squadron. The first in Michael Stackpole's series.

We have a library between a few of us here at work, so I was looking for some fast entertainment. I first read this one in high school.

In addition to that though I picked up a copy of 1984 from my parents while in Florida who didn't have a clue that they even had it. It's a bit too deep for at-work/commute reading, but the presence of it at my desk makes me look intelligent.

I have an int0n3t version of 1984, if you want it.

Suu

Why? I have it in print right in front of me. I can't read on the screen anyway because after a while it makes my eyes jump really bad.

Because then you dont have to look from book to screen.  Its easier.

Plus you can copy and paste slogans from the book and randomly IM them to people.

My former flatmate is a star wars addict. He forced me at blasterpoint to read 'Tales from Jabbas Palace' It turned out to be a really cool read, anthology of short stories, each revolving around a different assassination attempt, made upon Jabba during the scene in the second film.

Well, The X-Wing books are fucking awesome. Stackpole is probably one of the best SW authors, I'd say even better than Zahn. The first book gives me a horrid toothache with the annoying Corellian happy cakes and shit.

That's a good name for what I do to piss my friends off.

Went on a book buying spree.

Carl Schmitt's Concept of the Political, a couple of ideology textbooks (mostly for reference purposes) and The Grooves of Change by JF Brown, about Eastern Europe from the 80s to today.

Suu

I've heard good things about the latter, keep me posted. :)

Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
