The odessy, Platos republic, dunno

I don't think it is. It's a short read and I enjoyed it. It seems to be just practical advice on ruling, though I can see how some wouldn't like it because of how selfish it can appear. Still, if you were a ruler, you would need to be a bit selfish if you wanted to maintain power. It's not as revolutionary as when it first came out, but you can definitely see how it still influences modern political thought.

I will be, but it'll be a struggle. Spanish is the language of my people, but unfortunately, I'm not entirely fluent in it. The last Spanish novel I read was Justicia, Senor Gobernador! and while I eventually got into the groove of it, it took me a while. That was like a year or so back. I've also got Borges' Ficciones and Ruiz's Jaragua waiting for me down the line.

Holy Bible KJV
Apocrypha
The Book of Enoch

Don't make the same I did. This isn't meant for young men. I am 25 and I feel like my life is over because of the convictions planted in me by the Bible. I thought I had more time to laugh.

how is the story of the eye?

I've been meaning to check it out but it sounds so fucking weird i'm not sure if i'll enjoy the gore/sex aspect

>Ready Player One
>Sisterhood of Dune

I'm ready to be judged harshly, but hey whatever.

>Song of Achilles
>The Sound of Waves
>Confessions of a Mask

>Mistborn: The Final Empire
>Mistborn: The Well of Ascension
>Mistborn: The Hero of Ages

It's worth a read, especially since it's pretty light. The sex and gore have been topped many times over, so it really works as more of a document of that time in literary history than as the gross out piece it was originally intended to be.

>Paradiso
>Aristotle's History of Animals

Want to read some Shakespeare this week but am not sure what. Have only read Coriolanus and Timon. Don't feel comfortable reading any of the histories without knowing their stories. Anything else is on the table. Suggestions?

Read his Discourses. It's the Prince on roids, with like a 90 page, apparently very famous, section on how to arrange conspiracies.

Are you gay? Just aking

The Crying of Lot 49

Great selection, just read Dorian Gray and I was surprised, a lot of fun and witty. A smack in the face that something has to be boring or hard to be intelligent

Just finished it actually, don't know what was so special about it? Didn't really excite me or anything.
> probably continuing with the starter kit, don't know

Hedda Gabler
Conversations with Wittgenstein
The Social Contract (maybe)

>Just finished it actually, don't know what was so special about it? Didn't really excite me or anything.
I liked it, but didn't love it. Read The Trial or The Castle to get the best of Kafka.

>Smile
>For whom the bell tolls
>Seven pillars of Wisdom

>Junky - William S. Burroughs

>Child Of God - Cormac McCarthy

>Vile Bodies - Evelyn Waugh

is Burroughs any good? I've always been lured by that degenerate...

Junky I fucking adored, it's currently one of my favourite books. The guy knew how to write some good prose. I've also read about half of Naked Lunch out of order, and I've dipped into Soft Machine and The Ticket That Exploded (though I plan on reading them both fully eventually).
So yeah, I'd say he's pretty good. Start with Junky if you're completely new to him. Or maybe listen to some of his spoken word stuff, those are fun.

My copy of The Prince also includes his Discourses, but I placed it aside until I read a bit of Livy's stuff. If it's not necessary though, I'll start it up soon.
