Nope, I've never heard of them nor aleister crowley, although anyway I don't really like fiction very much so I wouldn't be very interested in it. I mostly read HP as I kind of consider it a "duty" as I started it as a kid and couldn't finish it.

HUMANS IN NATURE/THE OLD DAYS NEVER READ MUCH. Only in modern times do WE READ SHIT ON BLUE SCREENS!

Interesting, thank you, it could be cool to read her I'd say. Given how the topic has been stated, do you read a lot on bluescreens though? I read everything non-fiction I like on my computer or phone as there aren't books about topics which I like where I live, and also it's likely that computers and phones are replacing books.

what non-fiction stuff do u read?

I mostly read stuff related to history and genetics, like papers (scientific studies) about indo european genetics and expansion, history about european countries and other such things.
