Sorry m8 but literally 80% of all modern writing systems ultimately descend from Egyptian hieroglyphs.

I unironically think it's better than War and Peace.
And I was surprised how Sholokhov is frank about excesses of communists too, given how he was communist. Also surprised Stalin allowed him to publish this.

Well, the real story actually starts at the very half of the book

>>9493807
The first half is very comfy

I am. I run 5 days a week. It never made me happier. Just made me think I might live longer.

>>9493641
Not running, i mean lifting.
I have depressive tendencies. I counter it with sport and just accepting me.
