In the Loop Books!

Here is my list of books that have helped me understand pop culture references and have better understanding of history. Maybe it's just because I hang around nerds, but it also made me able to participate in a coherent conversation about more than like...one topic lol.

Full In the Loop:

Google doc

Goodreads (tryna wean myself off this site lol. highly recommend storygraph as an alternative though it doesn't have lists.)

Fable

I haven't finished reading 100% of them, but even what I've read so far has made me realize how many plots of modern shows and movies + jokes are just adaptations and references. Not even in disguise either. I actually went back and re-watched Community because of this lmao.

The list also gave me an ancient civilizations special interest, so how could I leave these out: (All included the Google doc above too)

Mesopotamia

Fable

Egypt

Greece

I like money. I like the lifestyle it affords me. I like the things that happen when you give it away.

[mohammedwael-gaza00]

I am Mohammed, I live in the northern besieged Gaza Strip, I am 21 years old, I have always tried to create a beautiful future for myself in which I achieve all my wishes. I had ambitions and dreams, but they evaporated because of the war, but I still want to achieve them despite the siege. During the war, I lost many things, including my university, my dreams, my job, and some friends. Despite that, I still want to achieve my dreams and ambitions. I want to rebuild my life again, so please help me in that and rebuild my life. Therefore,

please donate as much as you can because that helps me a lot. If you cannot donate, tell people about my suffering.

Together for Mohammed in the North
