This is a mission field. The people we're witnessing to don't like to think of themselves as a mission field. Yet nevertheless they are.

Welcome.

And also welcome is Russia's embrace of her christian church, and Putin's Christmas message that the West should be ashamed of being ashamed of our Christian heritage.

Thats obvious but how does one do it, because its easier said than done.

A book like this doesn't exist. There's books YOU may find that make YOU feel that way, but I doubt there are books that universally have the same power.

Read what you want, whatever interests you or seems even a bit interesting, eventually you'll find it.

Disgrace by JM Coetzee gave me many different feels, all of them pretty intense

For good reason.

and Conan Doyle. Maybe also Simenon (Maigret) but from a "detective stories" point of view, he's not as good.

>the nyrb classic of lampedusa's non-leopard writings

taking nyrb classic recs. have read several: invention of morel, stoner, amsterdam stories, bresson on the cinematograph and i think a couple more - loved all of them. joined their 'bookclub' on a discount, but it's only 1 book/month.

>>9251909
Democracy in America is a riot of a read, De Tocqueville's observations are fundamentally correct even now. Everything he says on the psychology of the "democratic individual" is worth considering.

My first Castaneda book, recommended by my girlfriend. Didn't know anything about it beside the general psychedelic gist of it, I wasn't expecting what looks like an anthropological analysis of Yaqui epistemology. Pleasantly surprised.

As an Italian I'm actually fairly surprised at the fact that Lampedusa's other writings were collected and translated in English, they're barely even known to exist here. Hope you enjoy them, care to talk about the nyrb book club? Didn't know such a thing existed

anything written before 1957 is objectively shit and you know it

>>9251816
That's a bold statement.

>>9251816
what happened in 1957

Yes it's good to read it beforehand. He clarifies things that were criticized at the time.

You have read David Hume, Descartes and Leibniz already?

Read all the prefaces in the Critique of Pure Reason and read the transcendental aesthetic. If you feel like you have a grasp of those things you can just push on through the rest, but if not then the Prolegomena is good.

>>9251808
Most of Descartes' works and Hume's Enquiry. I didn't intend to read Leibniz, is it necessary?
