minus-squareVegan_Joe@anarchist.nexuslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 hours agoThis is great! 'The History of the World in Six Glasses" and “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” look especially intriguing. I’ve read Victor Frankel and Nietzsche before, otherwise they would be intriguing as well. I’m currently reading Steinbeck’s East of Eden, and it may be a while before I finish it. But, when I do, I thank you for the next in queue.
