Recondite Meanderings.

A bstrusive thought negated once more. Paralysis of the netherworld ensued whilst the knaves endured their perfunctory plights. Vitriolic pejoratives were the customary greetings from the hegemony; their contempt was ravenous and unrelenting. "No more! No more!!!" exclaimed the chief of the sectarian hordes.

My next selection will either be Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince , or David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature . I hope to enjoy them as immensely as I did The Brothers Karamazov !!
