More sagacious advice
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone… in other words, when you have nothing to do all day and none of your friends are around, either due to school, work, holiday, geography or a mixture of the above, you’re tired and just need to relax because you haven’t had a proper holiday for months, and you go to the library to get something new to read, DON’T pick a book half-written in pseudo-Russian slang that is actually a philosophical treatise on the importance of free will, or indeed another book that discusses the absurdity of authority through a war narrative – in other words, two books that propose philosophical concepts that go against Scripture. Philosophy and tiredness don’t mix. (Chemistry and tiredness may well do, but that’s another matter.)

Pseudo-Russian free will is contrary to scripture?

Free will is a theologically unsound concept; Burgess’ invented slang has nothing to do with it.

Really? (RE free will, not slang.)
Care to elaborate?

Read Romans 9. Or indeed Wikipedia on Total depravity.
Basically, the sinful nature of humankind is such that we cannot choose to follow God through our own decision – our will is not free.

Interesting. Consider me duly enlightened.
