Psychology and the Occult by C.G. Jung
Young Carl Jung by Robert W. Brockway
No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai
The Setting Sun by Osamu Dazai
Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima
The Hymns of Hermes: Ecstatic Songs of Gnosis by G.R.S. Mead
The Emerald Tablet of Hermes and the Kybalion: Two Classic Books on Hermetic Philosophy by Hermes Trismegistus and The Three Initiates
The Temple of the Golden Pavilion by Yukio Mishima
A Primer of Jungian Psychology by Calvin S. Hall and Vernon J. Nordby

damn, so you're kind of a rw pleb huh?

It's a bit of a slog, his writing style is somewhat repetitive. I read it at work over the course of a month and a half. Don't expect a lot of citation, either, he makes assertions like a psychologist. Many ideas of his got my noggin joggin, though, and his discussion of the Schreber case is pretty insightful and original in that he doesn't resort to seating the paranoia in some kind of sexual repression. I thinks his system is a well made one because otherwise he wouldn't be able to go on at such length without contradicting himself, though he does do that, e.g. in his explanation of "crowd crystals."

Definitely worth the read, though.

>I'm trying to stop reading books halfway through and losing interest, regardless of how much they suck
why?

What gives that impression? Mishima?

What edition of the Bhagavad Gita did you read? What were your thoughts on it?

Thoughts on Dorian Gray?

I don't think Hermeticism, Japanese lit, or Jungian Psychology has anything to do with the right-wing. I'm not into Memerson and neither Mishima book had anything to do with nationalism.

none

Get on it

Catcher in the Rye
War of Art

Wagecucking is a bitch

Plato - Statesman
Jean-Jeacques Rousseau - The Social Contract
Apollonius - On Conics Books I - IV

I'm going to be finishing two very soon. I'll finish Rousseau's Emile tomorrow and On Conics book V - VII sometime next week. These are exciting times to be in.

I'll be reading Alexander Hamilton's (or Plurbius') Federalist Papers starting at the beginning of next week, and by next weekend I'll be neckdeep in Arabic with reading the reconstructed Book VIII of On Conics by Ibn Al-Haytham.

Right now I'm reading a couple of shorter novels, so I'm gonna catch up.

Being reading some of the remaining nudune:
*Paul of Dune (Parts II, IV)
*Wedding Silk
*Paul of Dune (Part VI)
*The Winds of Dune (Part II)
*Whisper of Caladan Seas

Now rereading original Dune. Damn, what a contrast. But still like nudune stuff.

Fiction is for plebs

I read satantango in about 3 days
melancholy of resistance took me almost 3 weeks it has a lot of passages that just go on and on and on and on. I found satantango easier to digest, and I also liked it better. The pictures it painted in my mind were more vivid than in melancholy. Also the ending of satantango is GOAT

The Quantum World - New Scientist
Gods and Fighting Men - Lady Gregory
The Book of Jubilees
The Letter of Aristeas

reading pop science with a shitty sense of superiority is more pleb than reading fiction

>Pounded By The Pound: Turned Gay By The Socioeconomic Implications Of Britain Leaving The European Union by Chuck Tingle

>Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou by Hitoshi Ashinano
>Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said, by Philip K. Dick
>The Californian Ideology by Richard Barbrook

Excellent. Although the chapter where Dorian describes all of his treasures was a slog. If you cut out that chapter it would be a nearly flawless novel.

>Culture of Critique
>White Identity
>The sun also rises
Both GOAT tier imho.

>>Pounded By The Pound: Turned Gay By The Socioeconomic Implications Of Britain Leaving The European Union by Chuck Tingle
Review it.

>Richard Dawkins
gtfo of here with that shit.

The Stephen Hawking book looks cool though, I have that one myself.

Did you read it all the way through?

Aside from a few typos, I have no complaints. It was amusing and silly. NGL I did get a boner during the sex scene.

>Richard Dawkins
HAHAHAHAHAHA! You pretentious pop science fanboys are insufferable. You're almost as annoying as the Harry Potter fangirls who think J.K. Rowling deserves to be canonized.

The Door
Concluding
The Human Stain
In the Heart of the Heart of the Country
Mindhunter
Fooled by Randomness

All of them have been pretty good so far. I was pleasantly surprised by Concluding since I knew nothing about Henry Green going into it. The Human Stain is became my second favorite Roth novel, after American Pastoral.

Started The Seven Madmen last night.

>Gordon Pym

Love that book.

This is what I managed to read so far:

Dirty Snow (Simenon)
Fouché (Zweig)
A supposedly fun thing... (DFW)
Aura (Fuentes)
Mimmoun (Chirbes)
Campo de sangre (Aub)
Las niñas prodigio (Urraca)

Is there a bigger give away of memelord pseuds than blindly attacking anything Dawkins?

>the Sun Also Rises
>Frankenstein
>The Iliad
>A Confederacy of Dunces
>Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

I just don't like Evolutionary Biology.

I really enjoy physics though, so I do have that Hawking book.

A Room of One's Own
Dogen essential writings (kind of shit, but it's the only thing translated in Bulgarian by him)

The Poetics of Space by Bachelard (I've read it for a second time)
"Contemporary women" a Bulgarian short story collection from the 1943 by Alexandra Voinikova
Rimbaud's collected verse. I've been mainly rereading a season in hell
Critique of Judgment for a second time

I also read a lot of Schiller's works on aesthetics and a lot of paper on terrorism and experimental music.

and that's that, I don't think I'm forgetting something

I'm now reading The Range of Interpretation by Iser.

I feel like I'm a very slow reader

Slow, or non-committal? If you only read 30 minutes a day of course you'll never amount to anything substantial. I'm also a slow reader by my estimation but as long as I read 2-3 hours at least 6 days a week, I can plough through a good many books.

I'm Hindu, so I've read it in Hindi as well as English. The Hindi version was a much better experience, I read the ISKCON English version though and it was fine.

Yeah, though I started Lolita just a week before 2018 but finished it after the year started.

Jean Paul Sartre - The Wall
Dan Brown - Origin

FUCK

I'm almost done with one RN, I'll add to it tomorrow.

The Knight
The Sorrows of Young Werther
The Stranger
Lolita
The Great Gatsby

Lolita actually blew me away, had no idea what I was in for.

Open by Andre Agassi
The Joke by Milan Kundera

Don't read nudune lmao why would you do this

Not too many yet. I've been busy working but am making a concerted effort to read more than I play vidya and shitpost.

So far I've only gotten through:

- Red Sun/Sudeep Chakravarti
- Unaccustomed Earth/Jhumpa Lahiri
- The Namesake/Jhumpa Lahiri
- The Classic Horro Stories/Lovecraft

Recent purchases include pic related. I also have a couple other books in the mail.

Haven't read any of the Russian classics yet. I'm a bit excited and slightly apprehensive with Dostoevsky -- I skimmed the first few pages and the writing seemed alright, but I sometimes have a difficult time getting into 19th century literature (I'm sure that's a terrible thing to say on PseudCentral).

As of 2018, I've read:
Wizard of Earthsea
The Sun Also Rises
The Road
Lolita
Sword and Citadel
The Goblin Emperor

Honestly, every one of these has been a homerun in different ways. Highly recommend

Plato's Symposium
Philip K Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Albert Camus' The Stranger
George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London

What would anons recommend I read next?

more moebius artwork please

On the road
Naked lunch
Catch 22

Currently reading confederacy of dunces

>I'm trying to stop reading books halfway through and losing interest, regardless of how much they suck
That’s stupid. If they suck why waste more time?

To build discipline for the times your lazy mind wants to stop even though it does pay off to finish the book.
