>>332 recently, i have been reading books particularly on religion, philosophy, and political theory. i haven't delved much into these topics, so i don't really have any comments to make, but i'm doing so because i realized i don't really have well thought out opinions on the world and the people in it. so i suppose you could say i'm reading these topics as a means of self exploration and personal/ideological development. currently, i'm reading "The Sayings of the Desert Fathers", a collection of sayings from Christian monks around the 4th to 6th century. i'm a recent Orthodox convert (unbaptized) and it was recommended to me by the Father at my Church. the other book i have been reading is "Fascism, The Total Society" by H.R Morgan, a curated collection of quotes and ideas by different Fascist writers with commentary by Morgan. i'm not exactly a Fascist myself, but i plan on reading all kinds of politically extreme literature from across the political landscape. i suppose i have an interest in the ways one can view the world that would be considered "extreme" by the status quo.

these are my next reads. For My Legionaries is a somewhat longer book at 485 pages so i'm gonna read some Lovecraft alongside it when i need a break.
