What's the most humongous book you've ever read?
>>
Dostoyevsky's Demons. It felt like he was steadily escalating for 700 pages, then realized he has a train to catch and blew everyone's head smoove off in the last 50.

The Bible

>>24968128
One of the Song of Ice and Fire books.

Been reading 2666, nearly finished but it's taken me months because some of the parts were insufferable (i.e. the part about the critics)

Differential Geometry Reconstructed: A Unified Systematic Framework - Alan U. Kennington

Just rewatched this video for the first time in ages. A couple thoughts: I now have a headache; and I can't believe how dated this seems now. These lunatics were really given free rein for like 10 years huh.

Anyone who consistently raises their voice above a hundred decibels for no good reason should be forcibly muzzled.

We killed soiboys and bluehairs. Nobody dares now to associate themselves with those images; they've been thoroughly ridiculed into full shame.
The Social Justice Warrior archetype was utterly defeated.
