It's a serious question, I'm genuinely interested in what you guys read.

nigger tongue my anus

Anyone read greek philosophy here ?

Idk if I should start with "Meditations" or Diogenes.

>>41076744
Start with based Epictetus - then Seneca - then meditations.

>>41076744
Meditations is Roman you stupid brainlet

>>41076744
But I do have a soft spot for the "cynics"

Elliot Rodger - My Twisted World

Found a book from 1940 about nutrition. Thought would be fun to know what they had back then. Reads like researching alchemy.

I just finished Owarimonogatari.

>>41076322
Tolkein almost exclusively.

>>41076790
Read the Book of Lost tales a few months ago. As far as the stories of the gods go, I liked alot of the earlier drafts more than what was in The Silmarillion.

>>41076744
Not Greek but I started reading Bergsons philosophy after someone on /fitlit/ recommended him

>>41076744
I'd be pretty impressed if you read Diogenes considering none of his writings still exist

>>41076322
Brothers Karamazov at the moment

>>41076784
Whut? I've read a book on nutrition that's over a century old and it basically says the exact same stuff that modern nutrition books say
>eat a macro ratio of approximately 1:1:1
>eat more fibre and vegetables
>avoid processed foods
>drink alcohol in moderation

Marcus Aurelius is Roman but meditations is worth a try. As for Greek philosophy, Plato perhaps?

>>41076744
Read lots of Greek philosophy in college. Not much there, tbqh. Unless you're brand new to philosophy, then it's a good starting point to get you used to reading philosophy and you'll need to kinda know what they're in about if you want to keep going.

None of it made me change my mind or attitude about anything. It's all like middle schooler stoner type stuff.

>>41076322
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep rn, finished Frankenstein a few days ago.

"The power of self discipline" I heard it mentioned on leddit loseit where a girl lost a ton of weight without a single cheat day in 6 months. It helped me reach my fit goal too.

I'm reading socialism by John Stuart Mill and Between War and Peace: How America Ends its Wars.

You're a living meme and I bet you've not read even half of those.

Especially if you'd actually read Spengler you'd be embarrassed of how incredibly inconsistent you are.

>>41077085
Nice collection but half of those books are available online for free, physical copies seem like a bit of a waste of money IMO

>>41077085
I mean it'd be a 6.5/10 if those were your books/you'd read any of those

I started re-reading the books I was forced to read in high school. I think it's working. I really like Catcher and the Rye and The Great Gatsby, and I'm making time to read now.

I used to love reading as a kid. I even liked doing book reports and stuff. What killed my love of reading was those forced books where they scheduled each chapter and quizzed you on it.

>>41077034
certainly odd. poor grades in high school (claims he did poor on purpose/didnt try), was vegan, only drank once in his life as a kid, and of course autistic and never talked to girls as a teen/young adult

I hated that. My teacher would tell us not to read the next chapter. I got so caught up in the Great Gatsby that I just finished it our second week in.

>>41076322
Yeats and some assorted stuff from Laurence Binyon. I like poetry and the like more than philosophical discussion to be honest.

>>41076322
I'm getting into Go so thumbing through Hesse again.

Heidegger was a Jew who wanted to dumb the white Europeans down by tricking the intellectual bourgeoisie into considering his thoughts profound when it was just another Zionist ploy filled with pseudo intelligible jargon in the midst of meaning. He was the ultimate subversive weapon used on white Europeans.

Me: 1, Heidegger: 0

You're welcome!
Get those brain gains.

>>41077093
Please explain? I'm curious.

You're not one of those people who are too lazy to read and have a skewed sense of self, due to lack of human contact, whom rationalize that laziness by considering their imperfect portrait as holier than anything they could add to the painting and preach this by exclaiming it to the public with a semi-obscure intellectual attached to add the weight it wouldn't otherwise have?
