I am ugly, prospectless, friendless, will never experience romantic love, and have no real skill.
What are some books that can help me constitute an idealized self-image that gives me illusion of being powerful and worthwhile?
So far I've read these books which have helped immensely: Schopenhauer's 'On Women' (helps me cope with not having women interested in me) The Bell Curve (helps me cope with my average intelligence as I am part of the white race which is high up) Sex and Character (helps me rationalize my not being sexually active)
Anything else that could give me a false sense of superiority?
Lucas Myers
Ego and his Own, then Critics of Stirner.

I would recommend Vonnegut instead. He Won't make you feel powerful but he is very compassionate to pathetic individuals like yourself.
That or The Myth Of Sisyphus, realize lifes absurdity.
Ayden Thompson
Are you that fag who recommended Breakfast of Champions along with Clockwork Orange and Catch 22 on the other thread?
Easton Long
What? No, i just have a major boner for Vonnegut tonight since i finished reading Slapstick a few hours ago, plus, he certainly fits.

false sense of superiority, par excellence

I was thinking about reading the Bible to become powerful and worthwhile, i.e. I am here for a reason, God has me in his plans, etc.
Then I could feel a false sense of superiority against atheists by convincing myself that they're all going to burn in Hell for all eternity while I am righteous.

You're trying to hard. It makes you seem sad rather than clever.

Oblomov, it's 750 pages, but you'll be proud at the ending
Logan Adams
that's probably a really good idea.
Brandon Lopez
ayn rand books were made for people like you

You don't need books.
You need to go do some push-ups.
You need to go out for walks.
You need to go out and strike up a random conversation at a pub.
You need to go read under a tree while the sun shines.
If you do want literary advice, then read Plato, Xenophon, and Aristophanes. They will make clear how ugly Socrates was and how much of a boss he was.
Your issues are not impediments, nor are they issues.

You should read "On Suicide" by Schopenhauer too my man.
Nah, in honesty, fine memeing.
Anyone else excited about drinking from the deluge of tears /pol/ will produce later today?
Liam Hughes

Ayden Hall
on women and on suicide aren't real S. books

I haven't even read this all the way through, but I skipped through reading passages and it made me feel so independent and strong, albeit if he was a bit mad from my perspective.
Jason Brown
I told you. Keep reading until you feel compelled to spam pictured of Stirner whenever someone is violently spooked on the internet.
If you read the whole thing, then read Critics of Stirner to correct and mis-readings you'll realize he's more sane than 99% of people alive today.
Nolan Roberts
Read Steppenwolf and consider actually living
James Morgan
consider killing yourselve
Jeremiah Martin

Tyler Nguyen

John Hernandez

Luke Bailey
Just imagine OP writing this, chuckling but half-crying over Madama President, thinking this will blow people's minds, never has satire been greater.

Read more Schopenhauer
Luis Barnes
why do you want a false sense of superiority? i suggest seeking happiness in other ways. a false (or real) sense of superiority won't make you feel better.
i'm really surprised that the intellectual board is unironically suggesting books to OP as if it is a good idea
