I've just started to get into reading again and I'm afraid if I just jump into stuff like Ulysses, Gravity's Rainbow, Brave New World, etc I won't get the full effect of reading them.

What can I read that will build me up to be able to really appreciate books? I'm a freshman at uni and some things I just finished are Old Man and the Sea and pic related.

Raymond Chandler should be up your alley if you liked The Maltese Falcon. Brave New World isn't nearly as difficult as Joyce or Pynchon, you can jump right into that, hell they teach it in high school.

I've read some Shakespeare and I'm starting to get into philosophy. Ideas on where to start there? I started reading Aurelius.

I was supposed to read it in high school but the teacher had us read The Road instead.

Has anyone here read Young Hitler by Claus Hant? Apparently it's one of the few books that examines his early life without ridiculous bias in either direction (i.e. not the stormfag direction of 'he was literally the messiah!' or the normie 'he wuz liderally hidler xD')

No, I'm not a nazi sympathiser, but I'm interested in why he became the way he did, and almost everything else I've read on the matter has been incomplete so far.

Some of Kierkegaards stuff really helped me recently. He became most productive after he trolled his fiancée into breaking up with him. Try Either/Or and Repetition

What are some websites that provide quality articles and have good columnists? It can be about literature, philosophy, society, etc. -- it's fine as long as it is related to humanities/social sciences.
I only know news sites like CNN, The Guardian and so on. Where to go deeper?

What's a good Sherlock Holmes story to read? I've never read any of them. Hound of the Baskervilles? Are any of them like Encyclopedia Brown where I can solve it beforehand?

dude just get the collected short stories and start reading them

"dude" i don't want to read everything he's ever written, just looking for a good one.

which is your favorite?
>>
>>8610515
I don't see why you wouldn't just start at the beginning and read through all the stories

The novels too, there's really nothing horribly complicated there

Hound of Baskerville is obviously one of if not the most famous Sherlock story, I imagine you might as well go and read that if you are gonna randomly jump through them instead of reading them chronologically like a sane person.

Has anyone read this?
I just started reading this and I had a few questions. I'd like to avoid spoilers if possible.

Does Azoth/Kylar stop being a whiny bitch?

And is it just me or does the book kind of just jump ahead and without explaining some shit? For example during the coliseum tournament all of the sudden Logan knows who Kylar is and is super passed at him. Like how the fuck did he figure that out? Did I miss something?

Other than that it's a dope book

Been a while since I read it but I think Kylar was wearing a mask right? Logan doesn't know about him being the asassin, he just sees a guy in a mask

Oh okay that's right. I am just a retard then. Cuz he was wearing a mask.

Yeah I know it sounds edgey but it's not
