The old country had a book club. Let’s discuss what we’re reading.

At my favorite thrift store, I found a copy of How to Eat to Live by Messenger Elijah Muhammad. It’s very interesting. I have learned how God in Person Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praise is due forever, passed along dietary laws that Allah gave the so-called Negroes to follow rather than eating the poisons imposed on them by the white devils.

What interesting books have you found?

Recently picked this jewel up from the library.  It was a hoot.

Mrs. Mortimer is an English woman who never really traveled but has plenty of opinions on the peoples of the world in 1850.
It is pretty hilarious - here are some of the chapter descriptions from the table of contents.

Russia - The streets of St. Petersburg are filled with staggering, reeling drunkards
Prussia - Though the Prussians are not fond of eating, they are too fond of drinking drams
Norway - People who are dainty must not come to Nrway
Siberia - If their taste in dress is laughable, their taste in food is horrible.
Japan - Very wicked customs are observed in Japan

Each one of them was correct.

Heard about this book on a podcast and couldn’t resist. As George Snoory says in his own unique way of pronouncing it...there are no coincidences. 😬

I'm afraid it falls at the first hurdle. No such thing as a dainty Norwegian, @K_Dubb ?

You may want to read that again.

I believe he was asking sarcastically as a fling at my less-than-robust physique.

There was a fascinating debate in Scandinavian archaeology a while ago between feminists excited by finding the legendary "warrior women" in graves with osteologically female skeletons with swords and things as grave goods and others who pointed out that Nordic peoples tend to exhibit less sexual dimorphism than others and the skeletons were likely misidentified, so either our women are mannish or our men are womanish -- take your pick.  I prefer the term "gracile".

Did you tell him you have cock for days?

I prefer the excitement of discovery.

First page and the literary guild is already whipping their dicks out.  Why does this never happen at home?
