Title: Frederick the Great
Post by: Falka on June 21, 2015, 09:13:15 pm
I'm looking for good, well written books about Frederick II the Great, sth in the style of Max Gallo, available as ebooks. I'm especially interested in the period of his life around Seven years war. Any hints?

Have a look at this. I was seriously surprised in a positive way that someone might be interested in books about Frederick the Great and ask for them here.

What do you dislike more, Independent strong woman or the English language? #AskELJames
Steven King asked about the difference between J.K. Rowling and Stephanie Meyer said that the former one knows how to write. If Meyer can not write, then there are no words to describe how shitty writer is James.

If common people were familiar with fetishes, that book would never become successful. It was a novelty for plain joe and jane. They should turn off parental control and vist place called internet. Better than reading some fatty virgin lame ass fiction.
Actually I can't believe that shit become popular and will go full conspiracy theorist saying how it became popular because someone give their best to make it so. There is no other explanation. Same goes for Twilight, Hunger Games, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Jonas Brothers and every other crap that becomes popular in USA year in, year out.
I'm sad to notice, same pattern has started rearing its ugly head on internet. Whole meme mania and sub-manias that came from it are nothing but mind control of weak sheeple who are unable to find something interesting until ten idiots similar to them say it is cool. If it ain't globally accepted by masses, there is no way something can be worthy of your attention, is it?
Internet feels very staged last couple of years, almost like television and other mass media outlets.

In my old age i can't be much bothered to explore and develop my own taste anymore... I do make an occasional seizuring attempt to reach out beyond what is being served to me on it's own, but it looks more and more like a stranded fish making it's final jumps before giving up.
But as to the internet, 4chin is still able to satisfy my taste. Even such an overhyped, but still very talented band as "The Beatles" knew how good it is! Don't give up Leshma! Listen to this song, and go to /b/.
