Old one on AS: >>710 Read The Temptation of Saint Anthony by Gustave Flaubert. It's a weird book full of obscure Christian sects, Ancient Gods and mythic beasts. Didn't really enjoy the mix of prose and dramatic dialogue, but still an interesting book. It's also my first Flaubert and his vivid descriptions of the Ancient world already gave me a good impression of his prosaic skill. The story is also a nice allegory of the struggle of the modern world. I just wish I had read an edition with footnotes or something, because I didn't know 90% of the Christian heretics and deities mentioned. After that I read The Three Leaps of Wang Lun by Alfred Döblin and man, I did have a hard time getting through it. Terrible prose, Döblin has a completely jarring style, weird sentence structure, he just makes up words or uses them in a wrong context, really not my taste. I have to say that some scenes in this are pretty good, especially the mass scenes of religious ecstasy and gory battle, but overall I found the plot rather lacking and couldn't quite understand the actions of the characters. I wish it had featured more Taoism instead of political revolt and intrigue. I think I will keep away from Döblin for now. >>8934 Very nice. I also think the actual pilgrimage and the pilgrim's stories, the characters he meets etc. are the highlight of this book. It's also a helpful introduction to the Jesus prayer and sometimes I resort to it, but I haven't mastered it like the pilgrim has. I also liked that it has a pretty clear guide how to read the NT regarding prayer.

Dear Bernds, Ernsts, Bernst and other friends we don't know yet - in a few days it's happening: Ernstchan will be laid to rest. For background and condolences, please visit Ernstchan's /meta/ board. Here now we want to do a bit of planning, so there won't be total chaos when everyone is streaming and nobody listening. This means: 3rd of October from 0800 UTC on there will be PARTAY. How long it will last is up to you. As long as someone will stream. But for now we don't have a plan, and Bernd does not feel like making a proper running order or schedule. So we will do the following: EVERY STREAMER PLEASE ANNOUNCES THEIR STREAM(S) ON THE CALENDAR. PLEASE CHECK WHAT SLOT IS ALREADY TAKEN. FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. In case any further coordination should be necessary (such as someone needs a spot very dearly because of RL stuff (shame on you!)), you can use this thread. Used to work with the EC festivals at least. So, let's have a great festival, Radio Free Krautchan!
