I feel like walking into the ocean as well. A feeling of hopelessness.

It's one of my all-time favorite books.

Excellent segment Ali. Yes this book remains relevant!

I should reread it. I read it and A Dolls House annually during high school and college thanks to the various English literature classes I took.

I remember reading it years and years ago... I think it's time to do it again...

Is 'The Age of Reason' on the Banned Book List?

billfleming.bsky.social•54 days ago

I just found your VBB list and see that it is not. This is amazing since the book shreads the old and new testaments as well as pretty much all other religions. The Christian Nationalists probably don't read older books.

Thank you Ali, will be buying the book and giving it to all my friends.
