Book review Pt. 4 !!!
          	
          	Animal Farm ~George Orwell
          	It was a really interesting book. Although oversimplified, it tells the story of the Russian Civil War and life under the USSR accurately(as accurately as it gets), of how, despite fighting for the rights of the animals(people and workers), the ruler and his party ultimately decide who gets what and bend the law in their own favor. It is a deep criticism of the USSR and Stalin's rule, and how he twisted the ideas of communism of what it should represent, much like how Napoleon twisted Old Major's words in the end, and how he changed the rules on the animal farm. Overall, it's a masterpiece in my opinion, 10/10.
          	
          	"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."
          	"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which"

"SUFFERING FOR WHAT?"
          
          In HIS name you fought
          Using HIM as justification for your deeds.
          You think the right thing to do,
          But you do not live up to your word.
          
          Played yourself, get a clue,
          You are here to reach HIM.
          O death, where is your sting?
          O Hades, where is your victory?
          
          You will not fall, for HE will hold onto you.
          You will not die, for HE will give you life.
          You will not lose, for HE will be the victor and your ally.
          You will not be alone, for HE will always be there with you.
          
          Kill the flesh, so the spirit may live.
          It only weighs you down to the pit of sin.
          And HE weeps for you when you turn your back,
          Yet waits patiently, still offering you kindness.
          
          But you remain stubborn as an ox.
          Swallow your ego, or it will. 
          The only gift this world offers you is death.
          Death to the world.
          
          Rise, for you are loved eternally.
          Fight, for your battle is righteous.
          Die, for your closest.
          Live, for HIM.
          
          Love, as HE does.
          Forgive, as HE does.
          
          'Hold onto me this time, please...'

!!! BOOK REVIEW PT. 3 !!!
          
          The Mountain Wreath ~Petar II Petroivc-Njegos
          This is my all-time favorite piece of (my)domestic literature; it is filled with many well-known quotes from my home country. It is a complicated book, in terms of putting it in a genre, it is a mix of a novella, drama, an epic poem, and a historical book. The story is fairly interesting and quick(~170 pages). A true masterpiece of Serbian writing. 
          10/10 (Unbiased, I know)

!!! Book review pt.2, because I love procrastinating !!!
          
          Although I had read it a few months ago, The Stranger by Camus was a good read. It was not long, and it told what it had to tell. You just have to understand the character of Meursault, his absurdism, and apathy. 'It is what it is' if it was a book tbf, he is willing to help and befriend new people, as long as it doesn't bother him, i.e. Raymond who is a pimp and is using Meursault for his benefit but he doesn't mean ill for him, but in the end, he ends up shooting the Arab because of Raymonds altercation with him, and of course, the SUN, which is a very big motive in the book. I don't really like his character, but it was a good read, a boatload of philosophy that you have to understand too. 7/10, would recommend.

!!! Book review because I love *not* writing my own !!!
          
          I read Crime and Punishment recently and GOLLY, it was a good read but by God was it boring as well because it takes 200 fucking pages for Raskolnikov to man up and kill the pawnbroker, and then the next 400 pages was him in a paranoid depression where he gets sick from it. The characters are fleshed out, they serve their own purpose, each and every one. To say that Dostoevsky was far ahead of his time is an understatement(in terms of psychology).
          8/10, would read again.
