What kind of books does Veeky Forums read?

I just finished Owarimonogatari.

Tolkein almost exclusively.

Read the Book of Lost tales a few months ago. As far as the stories of the gods go, I liked alot of the earlier drafts more than what was in The Silmarillion.

Not Greek but I started reading Bergsons philosophy after someone on /fitlit/ recommended him

I'd be pretty impressed if you read Diogenes considering none of his writings still exist

Brothers Karamazov at the moment

Whut? I've read a book on nutrition that's over a century old and it basically says the exact same stuff that modern nutrition books say
>eat a macro ratio of approximately 1:1:1
>eat more fibre and vegetables
>avoid processed foods
>drink alcohol in moderation

Marcus Aurelius is Roman but meditations is worth a try. As for Greek philosophy, Plato perhaps?

Read lots of Greek philosophy in college. Not much there, tbqh. Unless you're brand new to philosophy, then it's a good starting point to get you used to reading philosophy and you'll need to kinda know what they're in about if you want to keep going.

None of it made me change my mind or attitude about anything. It's all like middle schooler stoner type stuff.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep rn, finished Frankenstein a few days ago.

"The power of self discipline" I heard it mentioned on leddit loseit where a girl lost a ton of weight without a single cheat day in 6 months. It helped me reach my fit goal too.

I'm reading socialism by John Stuart Mill and Between War and Peace: How America Ends its Wars.

Yeah it's dope as fucking shit

Great book. Hope you enjoy it

The Art of War cause I have to beat up a bully at my gym

Just 2 books for your whole life ?

The more I hear about this Hitler fella, the more I don't care for him.

I only read the back of my whey container

I know medical students that have unironically never read a single book in their entire life except for the ones required by school

You're a living meme and I bet you've not read even half of those.

Especially if you'd actually read Spengler you'd be embarrassed of how incredibly inconsistent you are.

Nice collection but half of those books are available online for free, physical copies seem like a bit of a waste of money IMO

I mean it'd be a 6.5/10 if those were your books/you'd read any of those

But you still replied so I win faggot

I started re-reading the books I was forced to read in high school. I think it's working. I really like Catcher and the Rye and The Great Gatsby, and I'm making time to read now.

I used to love reading as a kid. I even liked doing book reports and stuff. What killed my love of reading was those forced books where they scheduled each chapter and quizzed you on it.

certainly odd. poor grades in high school (claims he did poor on purpose/didnt try), was vegan, only drank once in his life as a kid, and of course autistic and never talked to girls as a teen/young adult

I hated that. My teacher would tell us not to read the next chapter. I got so caught up in the Great Gatsby that I just finished it our second week in.

Yeats and some assorted stuff from Laurence Binyon. I like poetry and the like more than philosophical discussion to be honest.

I'm getting into Go so thumbing through Hesse again.

>all by based Taleb
Taking from one source does not foster a critical eye.

Yeah but thats why I also listed those other books.

Go away Veeky Forums. You are communists.

I like the dune series.

Read Crime And Punishment by Dostoevsky

Currently reading:
Oliver Twist
Montezuma's Daughter
I'm surprised that I am enjoying the act. It was something I neglected growing up and only properly discovered towards the end of high school.

>unironically one of my favorites

curently reading Way of kangs and neuromancer in between sets

How many did you actually read?

Currently: 7 Stategies for wealth and happiness
On the to-read-list: How to win friends and influence people.

Are there any legitimate recordings of Diogenes? It's times like this I really tip my fedora and wish the Library of Alexandria survived.

Heidegger was a Jew who wanted to dumb the white Europeans down by tricking the intellectual bourgeoisie into considering his thoughts profound when it was just another Zionist ploy filled with pseudo intelligible jargon in the midst of meaning. He was the ultimate subversive weapon used on white Europeans.

Me: 1, Heidegger: 0

im reading 1984 now

You're welcome!
Get those brain gains.

Please explain? I'm curious.

You're not one of those people who are too lazy to read and have a skewed sense of self, due to lack of human contact, whom rationalize that laziness by considering their imperfect portrait as holier than anything they could add to the painting and preach this by exclaiming it to the public with a semi-obscure intellectual attached to add the weight it wouldn't otherwise have?

Started reading the tales of Don Quixote, translated by Samuel Putnam.

Sancho is a lad I could bestow the title of 'my nigger' upon.

Horus Heresy. Just easy reading.

(The Emperor Protects)

good stuff
