Books... What are you reading? And what do you recommend?

Currently going through Father Goriot by Balzac. Pretty good so far. I relate to the adventure of the young provincial going to the big city and scheming to get wealthy and climb the social ladder. Reminds me of my struggle to escape from my origin of buttfuck nowhere Canada. Really been slipping on my reading. Only five books this year. Didn't crack one open until June though. Find it hard to read when I have too much times on my hands for some reason.

Also about 2000 pages into C++ How to Program by Deitel and Deitel. The actual book is only a thousand pages long so something obviously went a bit fucky with the ebook I stole by means of Libgen. Does stroke my ego a bit though. Don't know how the college kids did it back in the day. This cocksucker costs $250 for information you could find all over the web.

I finished Chaos by Tom O'neill a couple weeks ago, a 20 year long endeavor about Charles Manson, his cult and the CIA. Great book. The author was on Joe Rogan a while back and it was a great interview

I just started the audio version of Hidden War by John Nores, a former game warden. its about illegal cartel weed grows, mostly in California. So far id say the guy is a better at giving interviews than audiobooks, but its fascinating nonetheless.

The Cornbread Mafia: A Homegrown Syndicate's Code of Silence and the Biggest Marijuana Bust in American History - by James Higdon


Did a quick search and didn't see anyone had posted this yet. Forgive me if it has been. Should be required reading for everyone on RIU! Oral history of Johnny Boone and the basis of some of our best genetics today. For those that don't know, its thought that Indiana Bubblegum came out of some of the Kentucky crew's pheno selections and breeding over the years.

You need C++ by Bjarne Stroustrup
His website:

On Amazon but I'm sure you can find a link on the web:

Been reading about Russian history and their great socialism experiment..."Understanding Socialism" by Prof Richard Wolff
I'm an admitted socialist and was really hoping Bernie Sanders would replace our fake president. Maybe next time.

I would personally be inclined to go to the primary source, yes. It's on my list. I kind of like C++, despite how unintuitive it is at times (like why is there no built-in simple string splitting function with a delimiter a la Java) and think I'd like to get proficient at it. This one isn't very good. It can't decide whether it's a beginner or reference book and is far too long to justify the price like most textbooks. However, it is very useful in how the lazy bastards who crafted this course I am taking scavenged all the code and test questions directly from it.
