It was actually a "fake" quote. She replaced "man" with "pig" in "Man serves the interests of no creature except himself."
I remember I loved Joseph Conrad's novels when I was 14.
Makes sense. At least they don't take away their children, like in Norway.https://www.iflscience.com/technology/the-us-has-been-denying-people-entry-because-of-what-their-friends-write-on-social-media/?fbclid=IwAR2WGxI6zO5c2VkZi4I3k7LTmhZiVqyR7TVI0nEVDqXqMRan-8vhQAGvmHYI don’t know. Why does it affect some people and not others? Start by treating the symptoms. Cold showers, bed rest. Total banning from social media.
Any questions?
What is the Czech literature about except beer and laziness?Wrong, Polish literature is quite good, of course - much worse than Czech literature.
It's supposed to be a puzzle. Sometimes it works. Have you read Iain Banks?Why do so many books from the last decade take the form of alternating chapters from different points of view?

Usually going back and forth through time. Often with large chunks in italic (that would be some as yet unnamed character). And we have to wait until near the end to find out what the key event in the past was that the whole story hinges on.

Read "The Use of Weapons". It has an unconventional narrative structure, but very gripping. The whole Culture series is very, very good.Then I’ll read Agatha Christie!
The Wasp Factory, excellent, can’t remember The Crow Road at all.
He had an unconventional plan to save the planet involving buying more cars if I recall correctly.

Only AQOTWF. Vaguely remember liking it. But just like everything I've ever read I can't remember the actual book, only at best my emotional response to it. I look at things I've written...can't remember a thing. So often I think, gosh I must (have) be(en) clever. I've always been like this. My brother's the same, awful memory. It's only because we look similar that I know who he is.You don't like book about countryside, or about peasants?

Mr. Leopold Bloom never left home without an old copy of Tidbits. Especially when reading Matcham's Masterstroke, a real Throwaway.Having never heard of this institution, I was intrigued to learn that it was the medium that first published a PG Wodehouse story, as well as its having been referenced in both Ulysses and Animal Farm, popular books around here.
