Jigsaw9 6783 Posted February 14, 2019 I'm a bit more than halfway through a Hungarian edition of Robert Merle's novel Les hommes protégés (English title is The Virility Factor if I'm correct). The premise of the world's male population depleting due to a virus with women gradually taking the lead is an interesting one, but not sure how to feel about the author's viewpoint so far. It's kinda sexist and weird, although the style is very readable. We'll see where this goes, at this point I'm kinda on the fence with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paraph 826 Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) finished the romantic manifesto. while i don't necessarily agree with all of ayn rand's viewpoints, i thought her observations on the decline of romanticism were pretty interesting. i had read of her narcissism and it definitely comes through in her writing, though. about to start: heart of darkness by joseph conrad (ayn rand is quaking in her grave) Edited February 15, 2019 by Paraph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paraph 826 Posted February 23, 2019 finished heart of darkness and the congo diaries by joseph conrad. i didn't particularly enjoy them tbh, but maybe i'll try reading something more substantial of his in the future. next up: the symposium by plato Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
