If you could only read 10 books for the rest of your life what would they be?

If you can buy it and physically hold it as one book. Yes, it counts in my book (no pun intended)

>My Twisted World
>On Women - Schopenhaur
>Sex and Character - Weininger
>Infinite Jest
>The Curse of the High IQ
>The Bell Curve
>Thus Spake Zarathustra
>Finnegan''''''''''''''s Wake
>Attack on Titan
>My diary

>Infinite Jest
>The Grapes of Wrath
>The Will to Power
>The Bible
>War and Peace

>The Will to Power

You guys are so fucking meme'd its unbelieveable. Why not internalize some books that aren't mentioned in 7/10 threads on this page.

Post your 10 then, opinion man.

The Bible
The Brothers Karamazov
Ulysses
Collected Works of Eliot but if only one then Four Quartets
The Cloud of Unknowing
Institutes of The Christian Religion
Redwall
A Secular Age
Hemingway Collected Short Stories
Tender is the Night

>inb4 Anglophone Christian modernist

Maybe we actually like these bokks. Huh. Maybe its a meme because its popular? Huh. Maybe it's ok to like things you like even if everyone else does because you aren't trying to be a hipster and jerk off to an obscure limited release from 1987.

Off the top of my head and skipping history and references books and so forth...

Arabian Nights (Lyons) vol 1
Arabian Nights (Lyons) vol 2
Arabian Nights (Lyons) vol 3
Complete Works of H.P. Lovecraft
Complete Works of William Shakespeare
The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (all the HGttG books in 1 volume)
The Great Dune Trilogy (books 1-3 in the Dune Saga)
The Second Dune Trilogy (books 4-6 in the Dune Saga)
The Book of Wonder and The Last Book of Wonder - Illustrated
The Iliad and The Odyssey

Steppenwolf
Notes from Underground
Diary of a Madman (Gogol)
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
The Brothers Karamazov
The Ego and his Own
Fahrenheit 451
A Hunger Artist
The Myth of Sisyphus
Old Man and the Sea

That's not the point. The point is to read deeper.
>meme'd
why don't you read some more, or give me your obscure list, please.
good picks

>Complete Plato
>Complete Shakespeare
>Divine Comedy
>Ulysses
>Anna Karenina
>The Bible
>Complete Yeats
>Montaigne Essays
>Brothers K
>Complete Aristotle

you will get very bored very quickly

Ya, I'd go insane if that's all I had to read.

Malcolm Gladwell "The Tipping Point"
Thucydides "THOTPW"
Malcolm Gladwell "Outliers:The Story of Success
Hegel "Phenomenology of Spirit"
Albert Camus "The Myth of Sisyphus"
Molyneux "Revolutions"
Nietzsche "TSZ"
Orwell "1984"
Works of Plato
Hesse "Moby Dick"

Complete works are cheating.

So

> The Demons
> Ficciones
> Of Grammatology
> The Republic
> Foucault's Pendulum
> De Rerum Natura
> Duino Elegies
> Thus spoke Zarathustra
> Ulysses
> Gravity's Rainbow
> Augustine's Confessions

>Complete works are cheating
how? theyre books that exist in many tangible forms

Hegel is a good pick. I had not considered that. Probably infinite rereads.

>9636334

Currently reading FP

>Hesse "Moby Dick"
uh...
>choosing several short stories

I think the best way is long and comolex works, since I'd be doing a lot of rereading.
I'd definitely want these:
Complete Shakespeare
Complete Faulkner
Ulysses
Fimnegans Wake (I've never seen a complete Joyce that contained all of ulysses or wake, if there is I'd choose that)
Complete Melville
Complete Nietzsche

Beyond those I'm not sure. I've never read Hegel or Kant but I've heard they're complex so they'd probably be good picks. If there's a Complete Nabakov out there that contains all his short stories and translations of his Russian novels too I'd hop on that.

>Metmorphoses - Ovid
>Faust - Goethe
>Hamlet -Shakespeare
>Thus spoke Zarathustra - Nietzsche
>Brothers Karamsov - Dostojewski
>Die Räuber - Schiller
>Steppenwolf - Hesse
>Paradise Lost - Milton
>Bound Prometheus - Aishylos
>Michael Kohlhaas - Kleist

I would only read political and military strategy books by people who have served in war everything else you can learn yourself.

Weak bait m8

>book
>volume
Didn't make that distinction. So I'll go for just one book. All the CP magazines bound in volumes. XD

How good are Metamorphoses? I've read the Aeneid recently, and I've been thinking of starting Metamorphoses.

ly

It's basically (almost) all popular myths from the Chaos, the creation of men and the deucalion flood to 'present day' rome and Augustus in verses

It can get a little repetitive at times, because some stories are quite similiar but if you like greek myths, like me, it's definitley worth it.

I really enjoyed not only the myths but also the narrative structure (Ovid doesn't simply start and end a story but interweaves them beautifuly) and the nice allegories/poetry

9/10 for me would recommend

yes
YES

Ovid is amazing desu definitely read him

Thanks, I'll check it out

It's like you guys are living in a universe without rivalism and competitive entrepreneurism at its core. What the fuck.
