the bible

what's your favourite translation of the bible?

Bertrand · 01.22.2021, 12:03 PM

Karel Capek's Andrias Scheuchzeri.
It starts as an adventure book, turns into a selection of newspaper clips about salamanders discovered by the captain of the first part, and evolves into an invasion due to greed...
I nearly put it away but ended up liking it.
Karel Capek brought the word robot in the late 1920's in a play where Man creates robots, over and over, and robots discover that Man is quite useless and give him the push.

New Susanna Clarke boom — first in like 16 years or something — and it’s short so I’m savoring it and reading like 2 pages a day.

Alexandra David-Neel's Magic and Mystery in Tibet (1929)

Not sure about translation but the best part is where the wizard from Mordor turns the water into Wine. Has got to be up there

Looking forward to reading Ellroy's This Storm.
I started it but stopped, to freshen my memory by reading again Perfidia (Ellroy came to Paris for a lecture in a nice theatre, after which he signed some of his books, including the copy I handed him - he asked me what my nationality was as it was the English text. I noticed a weird smile on his face when I said I was French).

Still technically have IT going, and making zero progress.

Rob Instigator · 08.03.2021, 09:54 AM

Finished Manly P. Hall's "The Secret Teachings of All Ages: An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy, Being an Interpretation of the Secret Teachings concealed within the Rituals, Allegories, and Mysteries of all Ages"

Amazing work of symbological reference.
