the righteous mind was insane fire. it should be prerequisite reading for every keyboard political genius that hops on facebook to solve the worlds problems w google search engine and never ending circular arguments with every1 they disagree with.

reading really any single book I think would be better time spent than absorbing the literal mind pollution that is social media though.

reading 5 other books and learning chess tactics.

3 MINUTE CHESS.COM

I DONT READ BOOKS OR PRACTICE TACTICS LOL WTF

[Ghost1]

lmao what why me

that's too fast?

[Ghost1]

also...bb said beating u is first challenge on my road to greatness. apparently ur some mid level chess gatekeeper to him. I thought youd appreciate that :)

[PancakeBrah]

I'm pretty shit at chess. Although I only played bb drunk after late night Untitled group AIM sessions so maybe not my best efforts.

[uh-oh]

i commend you on getting through V's book. i will read it one day. i got past the prologue and maybe 2 chapters but it did nothing for me.

its not so much a condemnation of v's skills as much as my own ability to be drawn in

Was a pretty easy read

Took me like 3 days I think ?

Whatd it take u 5min to read 2 chapters? Lol cmon son

[uh-oh]

lol yea i gave it one shit session. i went to read it again on another but didnt

and phones are too convenient.

i should give it more of a shot.

but like i pointed out its hard for me to want to read things. but when something is good and captures me there isn't much i enjoy more

[~RustyGunZ~]

No rating on James book?

[Ghost1]

I reviewed it on the last page. Said I wasn't going to give him a rating based on the scale I'm using for authors like Charles Dickens & Stephen King etc....doesn't seem fair.

[~RustyGunZ~]

Word went back

Also from last page feeling bad about owning an Android is poor people stuff stop giving into social media telling you what to own it isn't even an exclusive thing or hundreds more dollars or even on par slightly with Android devices I don't get the continued aura around Apple products

They're garbage

[Ghost1]

I don't follow social media trends....I follow women....they do not approve of my android ways...I will not sit here and defend nor pretend they have any logic worth value....that is irrelevant to my purposes.

[PancakeBrah]

Bobby Fischer hated the Jews.

[PancakeBrah]

He trapped his bishop v. Spassky in a drawn endgame in game one the fucking madman

[Ghost1]

Lmaooooo

Seriously?

Theyre useless cretins by the sounds of it find you a real woman man

You need to complete this full cycle of becoming a better man with a better woman

[PancakeBrah]

Woah chill out.

[~RustyGunZ~]

This is probably my favorite book of sportswriting. Every essay was good, and several were outstanding. Essays about being an amateur boxer, what it's like to throw in the towel for a fighter, the philosophy and psychology of violence, unearthing little-known stories from boxing history, and of course a lot of profiles of fighters and fights. You don't need to know much about boxing to enjoy it, and you'll know a lot more after reading it. If you're at all interested in boxing, can't recommend it enough.
