I had a book from the library it covered this, but it is in Dutch and I don't have it with me
It covered Tocqueville, Hegel, de Maistre, Montesquieu
Let me try if I can find the whole list
>>
I really like the idea of non hereditary monarchies.

Regimen, unless you're part of some sort of literary militia.

Probably more than most people's. I read Americans, Europeans, Asians, Africans all quite a bit, though fewer Africans and more Asians generally. I read ancient works and contemporary works, male authors and female authors, small press books and some bestsellers.
I split my reading between fiction and non-fiction fairly evenly. I don't really read much STEM-related non-fic, but even that makes its ways in sometimes.

Everyone on /lit/ needs to read Hamsun, particularly Mysteries, Pan and Growth of the Soil.
Everyone who has read Ibsen, especially Doll's House, needs to read Strindberg.

there are plenty of issues with transgender, particularly ones that arise from the fact that gender is a social construct, but this isn't one of them

>The man who kills a man, kills a man.
>The man who kills himself, kills all men; as far as he is concerned he wipes out the world. His act is worse (symbolically considered) than any rape or dynamite outrage. For it destroys all buildings: it insults all women. The thief is satisfied with diamonds; but the suicide is not: that is his crime. He cannot be bribed, even by the blazing stones of the Celestial City. The thief compliments the things he steals, if not the owner of them. But the suicide insults everything on earth by not stealing it. He defiles every flower by refusing to live for its sake. There is not a tiny creature in the cosmos at whom his death is not a sneer. When a man hangs himself on a tree, the leaves might fall off in anger and the birds fly away in fury: for each has received a personal affront."..."The man's crime is different from other crimes -- for it makes even crimes impossible.
Holy fucking shit Chesterton. I don't always agree with him, but I don't know if I've ever had a passage hit me this hard.

His awareness of proscribed texts and thinkers is thought crime.

/lit/ I came here for your advice. English is my second language, but I want to expand it, along with philosophy. I am pretty much brain dead and have no literary experience.
Where should I start?
