The redpill.

/pol/ and /r9k/ are good places to start

Don't. There are much better things you could waste your time on.

>>8352529
Such as?

Don't put it down.

There was a meme post about how to become an avid reader. Somebody might have a screenshot of it.

Do an hour next time. Then an hour and fifteen minutes after that. Or switch between fiction and non-fiction.

Please don't

Well read some of hunter's books, analyse his style, his method, find inspiration in other styles of literature or in other authors of gonzo, don't forget that it's still a work of journalism, you have to expose informations, the subjective tone is here to help you make the reading easier, re-create an overall atmosphere, and to allow a more subjective analysis. Also don't forget that the film really focuses on drugs with Johnny Depp overacting as always, so... keep in mind to not do too much. Nothing much else to say...good luck.

How did you get into journalism ? I want to be journalist latter, I'm still a student rn

For cosmology:
>more stuff by Hawking, since you liked him - Black Holes and Baby Universes is a nice collection
>Cosmos by Carl Sagan

For biology
>The Selfish Gene by Dawkins, it's some of his earliest and best work (before he became Mr. Angry Twitter Rant)
>either Last Chance to See book, there's a Douglas Adams and a Stephen Fry version

For mathematics -
>Godel, Escher, Bach: The Eternal Golden Braid
>Everything and More: A Compact History of Infinity by DFW

For physics in general -
>Six Easy Pieces or anything by Feynman really

Chariots of Gods

Don't go for GEB. It makes its concepts way more convoluted than they need to be. If you were interested in those ideas you can just pick up I Am a Strange Loop where he just lays em out without all the puffery.

I do second Selfish Gene though, top notch book. I would recommend these:

A Brief History of Nearly Everything (history of the universe and the story of how we figured it out)
History of the World in Six Glasses (history of civilization)
The Better Angels of Our Nature (history of humanity)
The Selfish Gene (history of life)
The Story of Philosophy (history of thought)

Infinite was much better in a literary sense.

>>8352257
What is the Bioshock Infinite of literature?

Bioshock was a child babby game for retards, wrapped in a decent-for-video-games story that nevertheless couldn't escape being a railroad because it was riveted to a shitty corridor shooter.

System Shock 1 and 2 were good games. You should stop playing fag games and play good ones.

Is there any other kind?

>>8352176
same and I don't read dead white male literature or even alive white female literature or even male literature. you should try it. gloria naylor is my shit

The problem with American literature is that Americans tend to champion mediocre books in order to act like they matter more on a global scale than they do literature-wise.

People try to put ridiculous corncobbers up with gods like James Joyce and then get offended when they get called out on it.

If Americans were less dishonest in evaluating their own culture people wouldn't feel so opposed to it.

None, /lit/ and my own good taste are all I need.

>Start with the Greeks? Ha!

>>8352113

Don't get me wrong, you should certainly read the Greeks. You need to actually understand what you're reading though and if you don't have some homework done you won't benefit nearly as much
