Real books.

haha very interesting list my friend! by the end of 2017 you will have surely attained enlightenment and possess the dialectical skills of connoisseur such as myself

may allah (pbuh) bring you prosperity

I mean, its kinda all over the place.

Maybe find a subject you enjoy and focus on that. Looks like you have a stronger interest in Christian theology, perhaps look into introductions first.

As for Orwell, do read Wigan Pier. I haven't read it, but if its anything like his other works I suggest it.

It'll probably take you more like 3 years but sure. Kinda all over the place though.

>tfw unironically currently reading the Gulag Archipelago because our boy Jordan told me to
>tfw it really is that good

You might enjoy:
Thomas Sowell - Basic Economics
Primo Levi - If This Is a Man/Survival in Auschwitz

>it's ANOTHER commie butthurt about Peterson post

>tfw I know this feel right now

Only joking bud, I do love the man. Who else here /hype/ for the 16th?

It's going to be glorious. I just hope JP doesn't have a heart attack running up against Harris' robot-like demeanour.

He actually got the unabridged version the madman

I think Harris might get owned on his hard atheism.

Lol I initially bought the abridged version and then kept looking at it while I was doing some work on the computer, all the while feeling extremely guilty for having attempted to "cheat" through it, so I returned the book and exchanged it. Hope I made the right decision

The Crypto-Orthodox slavonic fatalism of the Stalin era was patrician AF, nothing like the banal protestant do goodery of campus activists. Shame on you Peterson. Stalin was the rightful Tsar of Russia, a Cosmic Revolutionary who trascended humanism.

is that image 'ironic' ?

>Capitalism and Freedom
Are you the mexican guy who wanted economics recommendations and I suggested this?

...

>Anne Applebaum
She's a professional mourner and Solzhenitsyn is the Elie Wiesel of the USSR.

Haha, very good comrade! Get in gulag.

Get ready for some Veeky Forums

>Is my 2017 reading list missing anything, Veeky Forums?
its missing... talent! there is no discernable talent anywhere on that list!

>>Anne Applebaum
next thing you know, /pol/ is gonna be hyperventilating about 'putler' and calling for a ground invasion of the Ukraine.

It's weird that she dislikes Putin considering Solzhenitsyn was in love with him. I guess she thinks the Russian government is just faking guilt over the gulags. From what I know of Russians this is probably tru as the average Russian knows and cares about the gulags much less than the average German does about Nazi camps.

Jordan Peterson fan?

my diary, desu

Do any of you faggots read anything that's not on some list of "books you should have read"?

I don't know if it's missing anything. You are all over the place. Reading Orwell gives a good idea of 1930s socialist thought, together with an incredible tour of North England mining towns. I guess Solzhenitsyn continues in this lane.
Then you combine this with a shit ton of political economics all mixed together, meaning you either have a background in this stuff or you chose things at random. Then there is suddenly Plato.
Reading Butler, Buckely and then Wallace is such an eclectic trio, should be fun for you.

bad

You will develop an extremely topical understanding of each topic. (Unless you actually have studied the foundation works in these topics)

Life is too short for books that are not highly likely to be good. I let the untested waters to critics who do reading for a living. There are hundreds of books that are acclaimed by relevant non-pop-culture critics that I'd still have to read.

If you go to the bookstore and grab the next best book that seems interesting you do yourself a disservice. And probably you even line the pockets of insincere publishers and terrible authors while you do it.

instead of making lists read books you stupid fag

Making lists is part of the hobby.

No, listfaggotry is just some form of autism. Go read a book fagot

Shitposting is autism.

mega cringe

mega cringe

I already read Basic Economics. Will take the second one into consideration tho ty.

I study political science and economics and like to hear different arguments about things.

And what do you plan to do with the rest of the year? Those will literally take you 3 months if you take it easy reading them

>Is my 2017 reading list missing anything
discernible talent

Sorry I forgot to put Foucault on there

If you're gona read Nietzsche you should read more than just BGE.

what would you recommend? i actually have his collected works but got distracted and haven't read them yet
