Count of Monte Cristo is great, the main character got fucked but still ended up on top through strength and perseverance. Plus it's just a good fucking story.

Really enjoyed this series, will probably reread. I'm halfway through the book of the long sun series and not enjoying it as much though.

I think philosophy books are nothing more than armchair intellectuals being pretentious, anyone here care to convince me otherwise?

You have great taste, my favorite as well.

Not going to try super hard, but give Meditations a shot. It's not particularly deep or difficult reading, but the stuff Aurelius discusses and deals with is really easy to compare to what's happening in your own day to day life. That's kind of nuts, seeing as he was a Roman emperor living ~2K years ago. How he deals with it all makes sense and it's not particularly hard to start using his philosophy in your own life and improve yourself.

I agree for the most part but go read "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". Most fun I've had with philosophy in a while. Spent weeks arguing / monologuing against that madman in my head; trying to marry our worldviews and / or reject his.

Elizabethan clergyman decides to write a medical treatise on what we would now call depression but ends up spending his whole life writing it, lucidly giving his thoughts on pretty much every subject there is. The prose is masterful.

Superior retelling.

“One must shed the bad taste of wanting to agree with many. "Good" is no longer good when one's neighbor mouths it. And how should there be a "common good"! The term contradicts itself: whatever can be common always has little value. In the end it must be as it is and always has been: great things remain for the great, abysses for the profound, nuances and shudders for the refined, and, in brief, all that is rare for the rare.”

Read it.

Nope. You're already against it. If you're interested, you'll read things yourself. There are plenty of introductions, plus the stuff recommended here.

Siddhartha - Hesse
Beneath the Wheel - Hesse
Out of Africa - Dinesen
The Fountainhead - Rand
Fathers and Sons - Turgenev

>Siddhartha - Hesse

Had read this before. Reading it now. Will likely finish it tonight. I also read "Wandering" by the same author; great stuff.

Why would I want to read a book by the original braaaaaappppp-poster?

way of men is a good read, really motivated me when i was going through a rough time

found a lot of purpose from that book, hes a great writer.

>posting the most well known works of evola and thinking that youre LE EBIN TRADITIONALIST
fucking plebs and posers

Its bait you fucking retard

Wandering is great! Siddhartha is such a quick digest for what you can get out of Hesse's interpretation of Buddhism. The Journey to the East and Magister Ludi would be my next two top picks for this thread from Hesse other than the two posted, Steppenwolf gets memed too much to be taken seriously and if you didn't read it in high school it's probably too late.

I've never had the attention span to read. Only ever read maybe 5-10 books on my own outside of required reading when I was younger. I've also read homestuck (and other online stories) maybe 10 times but that's pretty easy because it's on the internet.

To think europeans, like the japanese, or the jewish people, had an etnhoreligion and due to a semetic cuck like religion temples, costumes and god knows what else was lost.

Look at the pagan celebrations we have today, the olympics, Christmas..

I wish europeans started reading about their mythology like the jews read their bible and the japanese worship their temples, I wish we could build new temples again and approach it the way the japanese approach shinto.

But we're to dumb, so this will do.

all the authors in this spout utter fictional bollocks and make great declarations about virtue while displaying none themselves. It's all idealist absurdist shit. Even Hagakure is more realist and that's written by a manchild masquerading as a medieval bodyguard.

Currently reading pic related after focusing on mainly nonfiction for a long spell and greatly enjoying it. Conrad has an instantly recognizable style with the English language, a vivid sense of character, and he isn't as afraid of drama and adventure as some "serious" writers seem to be. It's a shame so many people only read Heart of Darkness. After this I may read The Nigger of the Narcissus, Lord Jim, and Nostromo. I'd recommend him for people who like Hemingway but don't mind a more extravagant style.
