In an above post ^^^^ I stated I wanted to see early writing of Roosh so I ordered the Dead Bat book. It's not here yet, but I did finally get myself to read Roosh's "DC Bachelor" blog. It is excellent. Like today it's not all about pick up - but social commentary.

Here is an example from a March 2005 post: HYPOCRITE OF THE YEAR AWARD. Roosh called out a democrat politician for pushing tough DUI laws - but when the wife called the politician during a DUI stop - he told her to refuse the Breathalyzer. Where is this guy today? According to Wikipedia, he lost a 2006 election, did not pay taxes from 2008-2015, went through a long-running child custody battle (with the DUI wife?) and in 2017 was suspended from practicing law. Good call Roosh. You were on from a youngish age.

Just got the audiobook. Without sounding gay, I found Roosh's narration of Game quite relaxing whilst driving, hopefully this is the same. Plus, looking forward to the content of course too.

I read 110 pages in one sitting today

I've read most of his books

But he has this presentation style that I don't like - uninterrupted walls of prose on a plain white background

No summarization, concision, emphasis, lists, bullet points, diagrams, etc.

This is fine for a memoir but it's problematic for instructional books

Just ordered my copy of Lady.

Post: #80

As mentioned in the Everything goes thread, did my Lasik surgery yesterday...so had to minimize time spent with screens for a few days and figured out it's a good time to listen to a couple of audiobooks.

Last night, a few hours after the surgery, I listened to "Death of Ivan Ilych" by Tolstoy...and today I started Lady. I'm almost done the BOOK I part of the audio and it's already one of my favourite works of Roosh. Really have to echo what Vincent wrote on the other page. Told gf (with whom I've watched a couple of Roosh hours and she likes the content and message for the most part) that she'll be the one reading/listening to it next.

I mentioned Death of Ivan Ilych (which Tolstoy wrote after religious conversion), because in a way I never expected, it feels to me Lady's general message has a lot of resemblance to that. Point of being, how life is meant to be lived vs. how society/dominant culture (Which is now 180 degrees different than 1800 Russia) expect you to live life, being at peace with death and more.

Maybe it's just the recency effect in action, but I've been noticing it. Looking forward to finishing the book by tomorrow. So far, so good!
