Victor Hugo would have been considered a fucking pretentious hack by todays standards.

Also annoying when frenchies don't give actual names. Seems to be common with them. Like theres M- sur M-, and even in In Search Of Lost Time, Proust just truncates location names, often without ever giving their full name.

Walden is pretty good as long as you take it as an opinion and advice, and not fucking gospel.

actually apply that to everything

Finnegans Wake

No

The only reading you should be doing is the bio under piano videos

The Way of Men and Becoming a Barbarian
Jack Donovan is based as fuck

Be more specific on what you're looking for. Or just find a subject you're interested in and get a book on it for the level you're at. Or just read Nietzsche, the will to power, beyond good and evil, etc

What are you looking for in a book ?
"brain gains" is pretty vague, and nonsensical

Read Frankenstein so you can discuss 18th century European architecture and tell people you know why the movies always suck

Listen, I know you live in the northern american states... but just go to a library, or, hell, a bookshop. Pick up a book and start reading it.

If you're in a bookshop, just remember it doesn't matter how long you stand and read the book as long as you make a purchase at the end of the day.

>you start with the greeks
Lies, you start lifting the greeks, and you read something sticky.

>Blood Meridian

All cormac mccarthy. Though, maybe hold off on Blood Meridian for a while since it will ruin literature for you.
