Real books.
Luis Harris
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
Xavier Campbell
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.
Wyatt White
It'll probably take you more like 3 years but sure. Kinda all over the place though.

Only joking bud, I do love the man. Who else here /hype/ for the 16th?
Hudson Miller
It's going to be glorious. I just hope JP doesn't have a heart attack running up against Harris' robot-like demeanour.
Noah Johnson
He actually got the unabridged version the madman
Jordan Davis
I think Harris might get owned on his hard atheism.
Jayden Davis
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
Christopher Ortiz
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.

Sebastian Morales
>>Anne Applebaum next thing you know, /pol/ is gonna be hyperventilating about 'putler' and calling for a ground invasion of the Ukraine.
Lincoln Reyes
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.
Carson Martinez
Jordan Peterson fan?
Kayden Peterson
my diary, desu
Adrian Turner
Do any of you faggots read anything that's not on some list of "books you should have read"?
Cameron Moore
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.
Caleb Rogers
bad
You will develop an extremely topical understanding of each topic. (Unless you actually have studied the foundation works in these topics)
Cooper Long
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.
Oliver Robinson
instead of making lists read books you stupid fag
Adam Harris
Making lists is part of the hobby.
Ryan Carter
No, listfaggotry is just some form of autism. Go read a book fagot
