Great book.

I read it in about 1966. At that time, 1984 seemed like it was a long way in the future.

The most beloved man on earth (original title: ā€œCel mai iubit dintre pămĆ¢nteniā€), a first-person novel about a young philosophy teacher during the communist regime in post-ww2 Romania. He goes into great details about his romantic affairs, including a marriage that produced a baby girl but ended in a divorce, existential and political debates, life in prison, forced labour, corruption and failure of socialist ideals, etc. Great read.

I want to buy some health and medicine books. In my 30s now and i want to persue medicine as an interest. I feel like its related to philosophy. Like i want to apply my philosophical mind to medicine. Seems really cool while still being useful and practical.

Reading the forum. Wish I could get back into reading but Iā€™ve got massive readerā€™s block. Last thing I read was 1984 though, a year or so back, as a reread when I planned to analyze it and compare with current sociopolitical environments.
