The last three (3) books Veeky Forums has bought

I just mooch off of professors because they like me. I've got blood meridian and hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy right now. I only recently read the stranger. Only one of these three books did I actually have to check out of a library.

The Dictionary of the Khazars
Either/Or
Collected poems 1971—1992 Borislav Radović

hitchiker's guide to galaxy is a redditor's wet dream

Explains why I got it from my creative writing prof. It looks like it's probably less bad than ready player one though.

Der Ister, Hölderlin
Quentin Meillassoux, Harman
Giorgio Agamben: Beyond The Threshold of Deconstruction, Attell

Purgatorio
Hunger by Hamsun
The Complete Cosmicomics by Calvino

Nietzsche - The Gay Science
Nietzsche - Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Jung - Modern man in search of a soul

You are wasting your life

Infinite jest
crime and punishment
The Perks of Being a Wallflower

i really dont know how i feel. C&P im looking forward for since i havent read it.. but.. First, a meme, 3rd, a YA book and kind of regret buying it.

-Birth of Tragedy
-TS Eliot poems
-The Gift, Nabakov because someone here said it was one of his best
Nice

Peterson

Leviathan
A Discourse on Inequality
The Social Contract

>You are wasting your life

Spot on

False choices: The Faux Feminism of Hillary Rodham Clinton
Abdullah Ocalan - Prison Writings
Karl Marx - On the American Civil War

The Daodejing
Mediations by Marcus Aurelius
The Myth of Sysiphus and Other Essays by Albert Camus

Elberfelder Bibel
Gnostic Gospels
City of God

Good choices, when Camus inevitably makes you sad you can get comfy with Marcus and Lao Tzu.

Indeed, though none of these books can save me from how the Daodejing is "what did he mean by this?" incarnate.

The Gates of Janus
Marabou Stork Nightmares
Lincoln in the Bardo

Reading Lolita in Tehran
The Master and Margarita
Tin Drum
The invisible Man
The Stranger

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Either/Or
Musonius Rufus

I don't blame you if you hate me for this responses but Daodejing is probably much more clear if you read it in Chinese

The first three books from this chart, excluding The Republic.
Jag gör likadant.
Engelska > Svenska

That doesn't surprise me. From what I understand Mandarin is radically different from how Indo-European languages work. Speaking of which, one interesting commentary I've seen is how "way" is used to translate "Dao" into English, and that not all European languages have a word like "way" that quite works the same way. It can denote a literal physical way, or something far more abstract, like a method of doing something. I know that in Polish there is really no word that has the same versatile usage. Western philosophy has delved very deep into certain words like being, virtue, good etc. and what they mean, but never into way, whereas to Chinese philosophy Dao is one of the most important ideas there is, and not just to Daoists. Seems like English would be a good language by which to introduce the idea into Western thought, and more fully flesh it out. I wish I was philosophically adept enough to do this.

Ice by Anna Kavan
The Thing Itself by Adam Roberts
The Rim of Morning by William Sloane

You're actually "doing" one of those charts?

Varför? Du kommer alltid ha bättre läsförståelse och kunskapsproduktion i ditt modersmål.

Liksom bara kolla upp en högskolekurs i politisk filosofi och se vad de läser. Du kommer fan inte kunna traggla dig igenom Aquino, Montesquieu, Hegel och Augustinus som novis - inte ens Aristoteles för den delen - oavsett de föregående böckerna.

Analytic Philosophy: An Anthology
Contending Economic Theories by Richard Wolff
S.O.S.: Poems 1961-2013 by Amiri Baraka

Nah, doubtful i'll be going through it all. I'll probably stop after Thucydides and start reading whatever interests me in philosophy after that.
>Du kommer alltid ha bättre läsförståelse och kunskapsproduktion i ditt modersmål.
Nej jag tycker Engelska är lättare att läsa. Speciellt äldre böcker. En svensk bok från 1800-talet är fan svårare än en Engelsk från 1600-talet.

Man använder ju knappt svenskan längre.

Brave new world
Brave new world revisited
1984

I just got five today by mail:

Memoirs of an Anti-Semite, Gregor von Rezzori
New York, Paul Morand
Henry and June, Anaïs Nin
Impressions of Africa, Raymond Rousseau
Death and the Labyrinth, Michel Foucault

Hate or appreciate?

Om det inte är en svensk författare så föredrar jag att läsa det på engelska.

I'd change all of those books to just one: Road to serfdom.

Enda boken man behöver läsa om man ska hålla på med politik.

Hate.

I don't buy books but the last three I've taken out of the library are The Master and Margarita, First Love, and Sun and Steel.

Appreciate.

Look, it's Peterson yet again.

Nah m8 just new to fiction. History had always been my passion when it came to reading so that is what I've read mostly. I'm now getting into fiction and though these would be good starting points

Nothing to envy was 9/10 and my gateway into my brief DPRK obsession in high school.

have you read this

HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

lol

I have not but I have Valentine's "The Phoenix Program". I'm interested in the book you posted but so many other books to read...

Good thing you didn't actually look up what the book was, otherwise you would have seen that it was a harmless literary critique of Raymond Roussel*.

I am glad that you got to pointlessly virtue signal today, though. I'm sure you needed that.

I haven't read Phoenix but i want to. The only odd thing about cia as organized crime is that Valentine is an old man who is fully bought into sjw ideology and is convinced that america and later the cia were founded as white supremacist organizations and doesn't miss an opportunity to make the claim even though he cites no evidence. The bulk of the book is excellent though and is about the expansion of phoenix in to the war on terror and domestic life.
also rec some orthodox books

Dubliners

Road to serfdom
Selected writings, The problems of revolution by Gramsci

Good.
I warn you tho, the second half of Leviathan is very "scripture and religion orientated", it can drag. The last chapter (or second to last, if you count the conclusion) gives you the gist of the entire second half.
At times i wondered if i should have read the Bible first.

Albert Camus-The Myth of Sisyphus
John Green-Turtles All the Way Down
Stephen King-It

I got these just last week.
my backlog is growing and I can't stop.
