Have revered #EMForster 's #TheMachineStops ever since discovering it 1000 years ago. Decided i prolly should read more of him, so atm am ~2/3 thru #WhereAngelsFearToTread . Oh damn, is this a case of never meet your heroes? Ugh, the #empirism, #imperialism, #sexism, but most overtly of all, the #racism. Ugh. Is he simply of his time, or is he even worse? 🤔🤷

Given that for many years now all my leisure #eBook reading is #GutenbergProject #ePubs on my tablet, by definition most if not all of this is old to extremely old works, ergo, i am consuming a nearly unbroken diet this way of obsolete appalling societal attitudes. I wonder if my decision years ago therefore to construct my eBook #library this way in order to digest, learn, & enjoy lots of classic English, French, Russian et al #literature, is actually helping or harming me [given my natal intense #misanthropy & #depression hardly need much encouragement]. 🤯

I just watched Where Angels Fear to Tread (Charles Sturridge, 1991) and rated it 2/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_Angels_Fear_to_Tread_%28film%29?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #WhereAngelsFearToTread #CharlesSturridge #HelenaBonhamCarter #JudyDavis #RupertGraves

Back in 1990 I was on holiday with a friend in Tuscany and while in #SanGimignano we encountered location shooting for #WhereAngelsFearToTread This is Helena Bonham Carter giving me the side eye and Rupert Graves next to her. I don't know who the others are.
