I mean, its kinda all over the place.

Maybe find a subject you enjoy and focus on that. Looks like you have a stronger interest in Christian theology, perhaps look into introductions first.

As for Orwell, do read Wigan Pier. I haven't read it, but if its anything like his other works I suggest it.

I tried reading Lord Loss when I say younger but it was far too spooky

I loved these when I was around 13. They were so unashamedly gory.

>>8961078
When I was twelve this was all my best friend would read. Darren Shan was a memey inside joke in our friend group back then.

I guess they were the UK equivalent of Goosebumps.

He anticipated hip hop.

I watched the Leonardo Dicaprio movie about Rimbaud from 1995.

I didn't expect the awkward gay sex scenes. I saw it with my mom.
What a shit movie about such great subject material.

The government should lie to its people.

(and well... its hard to say what he actually believed, for example, in the republic, if he truly believed all he said; but he implied having no problem with slavery? And did he not suggest it would be ideal for parents to give up their children to the state to be indoctrinated (which, I guess is pretty much what happens anyway)

The assertion of the Forms is unfalsifiable garbage tantamount to religious dogma and even Aristotle blew him the fuck out over it.

Rarely. I write essays every now and then for my BA, and in a journal although the journal writing is more of a brain dump with no structure,

start learning what is philosophy instead of jumping to its """end"""

You get a BA in philosophy... he really isn't taught until grad school although some unis have 20th century analytic courses that touch on tractatus.

isn't a rip off of some french author from long time ago?

>>8960867
I think you are right that less than 10% of people read it, but I also think that those who didn't read it ignore posts about it.

At least I do. Meanwhile I wouldn't find it hard to believe that 50% here read the book. Reading books isn't hard and if people even browse a board about /lit/erature, surely they'd quickly catch up with lit's most recommended books.

>>8960895
well, not-reading is a thing among French people (although it's not actually not reading the books), so some french authors mention it. Valery could be one example.
