Honestly it's so fucking entry level it hurts. Glad J R made it in the list this year. But seriously either new fags need to fuck off or our taste needs mature.

Rise of the West by William McNeill is what you want.

though the history of religion is essential to the history of civilization.

writing, apparently

Thousands of years ago, the first man discovered how to make fire. He was probably burned at the stake he had taught his brothers to light. He was considered an evildoer who had dealt with a demon mankind dreaded. But thereafter men had fire to keep them warm, to cook their food, to light their caves. He had left them a gift they had not conceived and he had lifted darkness off the earth. Centuries later, the first man invented the wheel. He was probably torn on the rack he had taught his brothers to build. He was considered a transgressor who ventured into forbidden territory. But thereafter, men could travel past any horizon. He had left them a gift they had not conceived and he had opened the roads of the world.

That man, the unsubmissive and first, stands in the opening chapter of every legend mankind has recorded about its beginning. Prometheus was chained to a rock and torn by vultures-- because he had stolen the fire of the gods. Adam was condemned to suffer--because he had eaten the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Whatever the legend, somewhere in the shadows of its memory mankind knew that its glory began with one and that that one paid for his courage

Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received--hatred. The great creators--the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors--stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won

MY DIARY Great Expectations

>>9209892
I like Tale of 2 better, it's certainly more memorable, but I'd have trouble calling it a 'better' novel.

Great expectations was a letdown

Well that's just your opinion man.

You're quote wasn't any more substantial than Baudrillard's position.

Why is Alex Kierkegaard so cringey?

I want to shove him into a fucking locker. He reminds me of a kid who got bullied but didn't get bullied enough and became a megalomaniac to compensate for it. I want to break his teeth and neck so as to permanently humble this nerdy douchebag.
