I also read clockwork orange last year. The film is one of my all time favorites, and I saw a video on KZbin by Dominic noble, he does book and film reviews, and since he went over the adaption and how it's different from the book in many ways, I had to read it. Have to say I was not disappointed. Definitely one of my favorite books now.

[@sabrinavonhoegen4262]

@Ad Lockhorst I know dakhaas, it's called dachhase in German, and it also refers to cat. After ww2, when food in general, but especially meat was rare, people indeed ate cats. I think in some parts of Austria or Switzerland they still do. Horsemeat also isn't as uncommon in some parts of Germany. Although funnily enough, some years ago we had that huge scandal when it was discovered that some lasagna turned out to be from horse instead of beef or pork.

I became a Christian mostly because of "Case for Christ" when I was a Junior in High School (2003) and even after a long many year deconversion process it was historical arguments that I often felt most compelling for Christianity, however many of the arguments from Strobel eventually fell flat when I began to really think about them. Also Bart Ehrman's "Forged" and "How Jesus Became God" really put a nail in that coffin.

@@fresh235 I probably can't do much justice to Bart's work, but I have read and listened to him a fair bit. I would say he really shows the contradictions between the author's of the bible and the historical perspectives of who Jesus was and the hoops that the author's had to jump through to end up with the idea that Jesus was god or divine. There is a lot more detail and eloquence to his work that I can't do justice to and would rather not, because I don't want to misrepresent his work or turn you away from giving him a listen. He's probably the most important New Testament Scholar around today.

Lovely video and thank you for the book recommendations! You mentioned, at the end, how you’re engaging with books that challenge your beliefs, and I find that really admirable of you. As someone who considered himself an atheist but has now completely turned over to Christianity, I can't resist recommending you the key books that changed my mind on the topic. They really bring forth the best of Christian belief: - Orthodoxy, GK Chesterton - Everlasting Man, GK Chesterton - Beauty of the Infinite, David Bentley Hart - Five Proofs of the Existence of God, Edward Feser - Theology and Social Theory, John Milbank Feser, Milbank and Hart are arguably the most influential theologians of today. They are, in my view, indispensable readings for anyone seriously aiming to argue against God and the Christian religion. Of all of them, I’m especially fond of David Bentley Hart. He has countless essays online and it’s just a delight to read him. As a taster of the intellectual and rhetorical virtuosity of this man, I highly recommend the following essay: www.firstthings.com/article/2003/10/christ-and-nothing In any case, I hope you keep engaging with the Christian literature, and look forward to your future videos!

Hey Alex, greetings from South América, (sorry if my grammar is not quite correct) I'm kind of new to your content but I already have devour most of it, and I love your scientific arguments and I'm grateful for your work, I would like to see videos about your thoughts on eastern religions and philosophies specially about Buddhism cause I have noticed that channels as yours still have a lot of misconceptions about it and since one of the teachings of Buddhism is skepticism I would love to hear about it. keep on with the good job !!!!

Based on your fiction books I would definitely recommend Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. Hilarious.

[@TheFlameoftheWest]

I recommend The Western Canon: the books and school of the ages by harold bloom. It was published in 1994 and really foreshadowed a lot of insanity that's plaguing our society at the present.

[@zakiji5962]

I feel the need to say that Bloom, alas passed away, in recent years said in an interview that a lot of it has died down, that the undergraduates don’t subscribe much to the 70s’ ideas, and that his generation is among the last wave, as it were.

[@dude8462]

When you referred to the insanity plaguing society I thought you meant rampant capitalism, materialism, and anti-intellectualism. I'd love to read some literature foreshadowing that. But instead you meant the "School of Resentment " which includes feminist, marxist, and african-american studies. Maybe I'm bias but based on that The Western Cannon doesn't seem tackle the core of societies woes.

@@Mustafa-cp8wc If you read that book and only came away with "Concentration camps suck" then you must have a 2nd grade reading level. The absolute depravity of those actions were immense to put on paper. We know the horrors of the holocaust nowadays, but Frankl was one of the first to share his personal experiences back then. Not to mention what it says about human nature. One thing that stuck with me was when he talked about how nobody could hate a prisoner for scooping more peas from the soup to feed his friends or family, because most people would do that in their position. And some people would stir the pot to give equal to all, some found it benevolent, and some thought those people were fools. It's one of the few first person perspectives of life in a concentration camp that dives into how people act in extreme deprivation, desperation, and dehumanization.
