One more review;
"Behold the man: stinking, drunk, and brutal"
Shit, I need to order this book. Just need one more book to get free shipping. There is "The Welsh Guide to Sheep" for $26.95, and the "Candle Guide to Going to Bed at 7pm - be Smart, be Healthy" for $399.95, but those don't interest me. I need something, come on guys, help me out.

I bought a copy of that violent book that greysrigging was reading. I anticipate many an evening of jolly reading by the ambiance my full moon lamp, with a snifter bottle of Wild Turkey 101. |

Too early to tell, I've only just started it. In summary, he says the purpose of the book is to put forward the argument that the final six months of 1941 were the most important of the 20th century. |

Yeah, I get that. However, 7 December changed everything.

He argues that any realistic chance of Germany winning had already disappeared by that point. |

Would be interesting if someone would analyse if the Eastern Front (and Africa) would've gone better if Germany would've supplied their allies with first-line equipment. Artillery and especially anti-tank guns to the Hungarian and Romanian divisions before Stalingrad, aircraft engines to the Italians - who had top tier airframes, but lacked proper engines, trucks and halftracks to the Italian Army in Africa (this is a big ask I know), first-line fighters to the Finnish and Romanian air forces who achieved stupendous kill-death ratios even with the shit they got, radars to both, tanks to the Finns...

I have always loved the films, but for some reason have never gotten around to reading the books. Guess that ends now. |

The Bible (King James). After two years of being a Christian, it's something I finally need to read fully through; though I know all things, having received the same from my God, it's a matter of going on to perfection. On January 1, I picked one of those reading plans for reading the whole Bible in a year. After the first month, I just have some readings to catch up on today, and I'll be caught up with my plan to have the Bible fully read by the end of 2021. And in 2022? I might as well do it all over again. I have learned that there is not much else truly worth my time to read (religious or otherwise). It's really not too much to do the weekly readings, but I am lazy. you end up finishing it by the end of 2021? |

It's really not too much to do the weekly readings, but I am lazy. you end up finishing it by the end of 2021? No, but it doesn't matter to me if I finish by any particular time. Not that it wouldn't be a good and useful thing for me to finish, but what I understand now is so much greater than what I understood in January 2021. Frankly, I could have read the whole Bible last year and still not understood what I understand now about what so much of it actually means, if it had not been shown to me. Many people have read the whole Bible, but don't understand it, because it's not given to them to understand. As I said in the post you quoted, indeed I knew the way of righteousness, which is what I meant in saying that I know all things. But there's something else to be understood about very many sayings in the Bible. One wouldn't even be able to progress to that point in their understanding if they don't know the way of righteousness, which even most people who read the whole Bible still don't know. |
