What is their legacy? Have there been any new New Atheist books? Mark their books an important chapter in the history of ideas?

They stopped the spread of atheism in the West and prevented it from ever overtaking Christianity.

Don't confuse manga with anime. Manga is socially accepted in Japan, and there are some genuinely good manga.

Why is this fuck so arrogant? It's like he thinks being well-respected by mainstream media makes him the smartest person on the planet and he can just talk shit about other academics without trying to refute them, even after they die.

Agnostic here. I'm interested in christian/ catholic apologetic lit or those focused on culture/ historical events. Also interested to get an overview of the most important characters like Aquinas, St Augustine etc to be able to place them and their thoughts in a historical timeline.
I've read "Christianity and culture", The Cathechism, Cath. Bible, "Faith Instict" and "Crusades, Christianity and Islam". "Ecce Homo A Survey of the Life and Work of Jesus Christ" is on it's way and I'm pretty eager to read it, as it's focus in mainly on "positive christianity" instead of all the magical mumbo jumbo. I also wanted to order Peter Hitchens books, as I really enjoyed his brothers work but I heard it's a waste of time. Any opinions on "Rage against god"?
Post charts or recommend further reading if possible.

Too broad. Most people lurking there are either requesting themselves or more into modern cultural things like movies/ stuff. If anything /his/ would be my second pick, but asking for lit in /lit/ seems more likely to get good results.

Come on /lit/, gimmi something.

I'm thinking about reading this one but I'm afraid of wasting my time with communist propaganda. Is this just a piece of commie propaganda or is it good?

It's really good for a "war story". I use that term loosely as the story in this case is much less important than the imagery. Much better than actual propaganda like All Quiet on the Western Front

He's really good at sounding spooky, but he has nothing to say beyond "life is violence", and has no sense of what other people are like (weak characters)
Is inherent vice a good entry book? Almost halfway through the book I find it boring and pointless, am I reading it wrong? Isnt Pynchon for me? Is the book bad? Halp

it's a good book but not his best. it's really easy to read compared to V and Mason and Dixon and Gravity's Rainbow, which are not difficult once your tolerance and acumen is high enough but difficult to most readers...IV was my first Pynchon and i enjoyed it a lot, save the LSD dream chapter which i found tedious. Pynchon is a master. get off this board and read more

if you find Inherent Vice boring and pointless I don't think Pynchon's your man. Inherent Vice is pure fun for me, without any of the mental strain of Gravity's Rainbow or Against the Day. If I hadn't anything else to read I think I'd just be reading Inherent Vice, Bleeding Edge, and The Crying of Lot 49 over and over until they put me in the ground. (or I finally grew up)
