Anyhow, this site consists of three categories:
- General classic literature.
- Subjects literature; philosophy, religion, history and politics.
- Stupid fuckers; just a few examples of some of the most ridiculous publications I've ever read. For amusement or annoyment, mood-based.
The books are all sorted alphabetically by author, and then I've written a few words about each of the books I know something about. Ah, just love that, pushing my opinions on to everybody else.
Enjoy.
