all were extremely popular and influential but I literally never see them mentioned on /lit/

Also, Chernyshevsky, but apparently he sucks and is remembered only because Dosto shat on him.

Well, I mean, why not just read the man himself? Read Calvin's Institutes, and read his Biblical commentaries.

are you some kind of kike or papist

It's a probing dissection of masculinity. Jared's homosexuality has walled him out from conventional masculinity, and the wound is further salted by his buddy-cop pairing with a man-to-woman transsexual, who represents the sum of Jared's own fears.

There is an idea in Western society, which is rarely discussed but omnipresent, which is that as a man you can redefine your image through violence. This horrifying concept has been the driving force behind many crimes otherwise dismissed as unpredictable, most notably school shootings. Here, the concept is explored through Jared's fixation with vengeance. In death, his partner offers him a road to masculinity that he could never offer in life.

All of them, that's why people read books to begin with

Thanks, very helpful

>>9866958
Pick randomly

But also Antifragile is by far the best and most interesting and it gives a good flavor of the ideas in the earlier works

>>9866958
did u srs start with bed of procrustes? also can u dropbox the pdf I can't find it anywhere

and don't listen to this guy, >>9866964. None of his works are worth reading, and Fooled by Randomness was the only useful book; everything else can be inferred from that one as the logical next step (i.e randomness is underestimated --> prepare for it --> grow from it)

>>9866958
>>9866978
but in all seriousness the progression should go FBR --> BS --> AF. The self-references (such as fat tony, nero tulip, platonicty, etc won't make as much sense if not read in that order.

Dear pot-addled weaklings of Apartment 3,

I am going to kill you. You don't know who I am but I know everything about you. I will probably be watching you as you read this very letter. Soon the pathetic drugged-out haze you call a life will come to an end, and I will be the one to twist the knife in your spine in your final moments. I have been in your apartment five times since April of this year. Two of those times I left a little treat for you. Have you found it yet? You're fucking dead. I'm going to enjoy watching you fucking die.

Get a life
