Take that, America.

Never underestimate the strength of Canadian resolve in the face of enemy action.

But really, Gravity's Rainbow? That was for readers that did not have a mind in the first place, so how could they lose it?

They didn't lose it they simply went beyond the zero, it just looks like they lost it from this perspective.

No, this is not a disentanglement from, but a progressive knotting into.

As in 'If you are progressive, do not read too much into that book."?

Well I wouldn't recommend it Against The Day, but I like the part that brings light to the Herero.

I am not sure I could ever get through that book, so I won't even start.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe you would though and then what?

[–] Daryl@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I would miss not having read the hundred other books that I could have read instead, and really wanted to read

I have a really, really difficult time with alternative history, having taught the real thing.

There is no real history, just two lies and a peaceful joker in between.

There are three versions of history, yours mine, and the facts.
