It just occured to me that there are way more (orders of magnitude more) people who make a living teaching and studying literature than there are people who make a living creating it.

The hero needs the poet; the poet needs the hero. No reason to fight if no one remembers - nothing to remember if no one fights.

Lewis somehow manages to create a very interesting and, yet, at times, very boring story about a fictional future (relative to Lewis, that it) in which "I can't believe it's not Huey Long" establishes a fascist dictatorship over the United States. Other than some boring bits, and some dialogue that reads strangely, the book is excellent over all.
Anyone else read it?

No. How does it compare to All the King's Men by Penn Warren? That was another fictional treatment of Huey Long and, although there was an awful lot of fat that could have been trimmed, a pretty terrific novel.

Thoughts on Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne series by Brian Staveley ?
Just finished it on audible and I see nobody is talking about it. Pretty good series overall

What are good books on Rasputin? Not just plain facts, but well written and I like a bit philosophy in my books.
General Russian books you'd recommend are welcome too.

How's everyone doing in terms of their year goals? I'm going after my standard 52 as always, but I've been tackling some lengthier works and I'm not sure I'll make it this year.
1. Invention of Morel - Casares
2. The Short Stories of Gogol
3. Critique of Pure Reason - Kant
4. Phenomenology of Spirit - Hegel
5. Complete Short Stories of Kafka
6. The Trial - Kafka
7. Confessions - Augustine
8. City of God - Augustine
9. Proslogium - Anselm
10. The Knight with the Lion - Chretien
11. Don Quixote - Cervantes
12. Joseph Andrews - Fielding
inb4 masturbatory lists. This is just a way to gauge lit's general progress/give encouragement/talk about what we've read.

I see dead people-
Mangled sex;
fucking corpses.
Jumbled texts,
over the sky tops.
Drove my corolla down
the white suburbs to hoboland,
took my knife out and
shanked a bitch,
methed up, heroin heroi.
Ne.
.
.
.
I couldn’t tell when I started,
I always dropped people on a whim
drowned myself in the creek,
that sort of thing.
Deep-down the needle stick
I think I know
I think I do.
‘Fuck the world’
And my sloppy dick
Is in another orifice,
and like the rapids down the river,
my cum shall gush.
The Fed said they’ll let me
out for good behaviour.
Somewhere I heard the world say
That she couldn’t get a lay.
It’s too late once you think.
I am a dead man
I am the air you breathe,
I am the water you swallow.
My dick is in your mouth
Always.
