Current list of books I'm planning to read

Any good recommendations to add to it?

I recommend you stop listing and start reading

you forget infinite jest.

>reading for the sake of learning
how can someone be this insecure

Because Marz generally has a bad reputation.

>Marz
Marx

Demian - Hesse
Im not Stiller - Frisch
Siddharta - Hesse

And Ayn Rand doesn't?

If you must read Rand, I think one book will be more than enough to start with. Personally I would never recommend her books to anyone, but to each their own.

With regard to Capital, understand what Marx actually means by certain words he uses (and adapted from Hegel). Understanding them in an everyday sense can be very misleading. So get a well-edited version or some kind of companion / introduction to Marx.

Hesse is baby lit. Demian is for teens only.

Yeah I'm reading Rand and Marx mostly to see the differences in their views and form my own opinion

Why read Capital and then waste your time with the Manifesto after?
You know Capital and The Wealth of Nations are 1000+ pg right?

meme list.

Not entirely sure that the other end of the spectrum from Marx is Rand. Both Rand and Marx, while they seemingly preached against the state, in practical terms both advocated for its existence to secure their end goals.

A better opposite would be von Mises (Human Action) but it can be dense reading at times. Rothbard (Man Economy State) covers many of the same ideas and is infinitely more readable.

The list isn't in a particular order. I think I'll just end up reading the manifesto but The Wealth of Nations I do still plan on reading
Alright I'll give Rothbard a shot
Thanks user

babbys first reading list

If you are going to read WoN or capital. Read capital. A lot of it is criticism of WoN anyway so you will get the gist of it without having to slog through 1000+ pages

>reading Dick

>read Capital so you don't have to slog through 1000+ pages
hmm...

Mighty white list you got there OP

On Heros Thomas Carlyle

>that hideous notepad
go to B&N or Amazon and spend $5 on something tasteful

You post on /pol/, don't you?

>Pol's well read starter pack
Lmao why the fuck would you read so much rand

Don't read that crap, just read the Greeks.

This list is so bad I can't even criticize it. Just throw it into the garbage and start your life over.

Animal Farm is like grade school level see-through. It's really not subtle in any way but it's really short so it probably won't hurt to read it

1984 is good. For all the conservative talk about it being super anti-government etc. there's actually a pretty nice love story in there

Leviathan is basically Hobbes trying to recreate the English lanugage to suit his own ideas. It's interesting in its own right.

Haven't read the others, or I tried and quit too early to have an opinion

Of all the shit you could criticize you choose the most superficial aspect

OP nice meme-tier post of a meme-tier list

>finish reading Starship Troopers on the walk home from buying some blueberries
>still a mile to go
>there are puddles all over the ground
>imagine I'm in mobile infantry power armour suit, on the bounce
>imagine the puddles are geographical hazards i'm bouncing over
>imagine i'm wasting bugs as i jump over puddles
>imagine sarge is yelling at me in earpiece giving me instructions on how to get to the LZ in time
>have lots of fun
>go home and jerk off to anime

Thank You Robert Heinlein

catch-22 if you’re in need of a laugh

Is PKD really that disliked on this bored?

The "superficial" details in life are pretty important to most people. Maybe not to someone like you who is still wearing cargo shorts in 2017...

>no Bakunin
>no Bookchin
>no Bread Book
>no Hoppe
>no Rothbard
Clearly you're interested in reading about a variety of economic and political philisophies. Why do you stray away from anarchist philosophy? It's pretty diverse too so there isn't one single "anarchy" to read about.

To say "Hesse is baby lit" is to not have read Steppenwolf, surely?

Curiosity mostly
Actually I don't post on /pol/
I'll start looking into those as well

>no novatore
>no aragorn
>no nechayev
>no landstreicher

Revised list based on criticism

Tried to balance out the different ways ideologies. Also not listed in any particular order.

>For all the conservative talk about it being super anti-government etc

Christ, Americans have such a limited sense of politics.

Proposed Roads to Freedom by Bertrand Russell offers a good overview of anarchism, socialism and communism, btw. Might be a good place to start if you're having difficulties getting into Bakunin or Kropotkin (the latter was the first of what is now called "socio-biologists"; very interesting).

Alright I'll write that down for later if I can't get into Kopotkin or Bakunin

Replace the communist manifesto with a superior book, wage labor and capital. It's not as long as capital but at least it's not the memefesto.

Alright.

Skip the Manifesto and read the German Ideology instead. Also read Origins of the Family.

how it ought to be

nobody needs to read more than one Ayn Rand book...as alluded to above, its a false dichotomy to see Marx and Ayn rand as two sides of a coin. You NEED to know Adam Smith and Marx to be an educated person, but starting with the original texts is heavy going and difficult to do outside of an academic environment. There are good textbooks that you'd get a lot more from, especially to begin with

STOP WASTING PAPER YOU FUCKING CUNT. JUST WRITE OUT THE LIST WITH YOUR KEYBOARD.

>1984/Animal Farm/Brave New World
Did you not read these in high school?

>Any good recommendations to add to it?
Yes. I recommend that you use goodreads.

>printing

I have already lost all possible respect for you.

I think you should get penmanship for third graders, should do you some good.

fuck you cargo shorts are rad

>writing a list
weird, but whatever
>writing a completley new list instead of just altering the first one
tell me the truth, are you on ADHD drugs?

This. Get off your computer.

OP you should really break these up into lists of fiction and nonfiction or something. Some of these books are going to require singular attention, while others could be read at the same time. And you're cheating yourself by spacing out all the ideologies i.e. If you want a comprehensive understanding of marx read kapital and the manifesto back to back.

you will never finish this list...
