Outdated now though.
Churchill's 6 vol Memoirs are extremely reliableand nice to have around the house aestheticallyif you believe the source, he does fall short of attacking certain british generals which he admitted.
The best academic source on the third reich is Evans' Third Reich Trilogy.
The best book on the Holocaust is The Destruction of the European Jews by Raul Hilberg
Desert Fox, a biography of Rommel, is done almost exclusively off his papers and provides good accounts of the Desert War
I have not done much looking into the Pacific Theater, but Oppenheimer' biography American Prometheus is a great work on the nuclear effort.
Stalin: In the Court of the Red Tsar by montefiore is a great work on the eastern front

Anyone got a /lit/ chart for Greek mythology?
I enjoyed playing the Zeus: Master of Olympus and Poseidon: Master of Atlantis city builders, the God of War series, and watching Hercules as a kid, and I want to read more into the bloody details.

Mythology by Edith Hamilton is a good start.

Read Ovid's Metamorphoses, Homer's Iliad & Odyssey, Hesiod's Theogony & Works and Days, then Aeschylus, then Sophocles, then Euripides.

Do you feel that John Green and his ilk are actually detrimental to literature in the large sense, or is your hatred for him out of a simple sense of disdain for his style of writing?

I know nothing about him except seeing numerous threads on here from the same deranged moron who obsesses over him.

Does stream of consciousness mean you just don't use quotation marks?

No, it means that you write the whole book with all semicolons and one period; with semicolons you can expand your sentences; given that the thoughts are related, you can use the semicolons to chain indefinitely; I have just demonstrated the semicolon method.

I like warhammer 40k, but there are so many books by different authors that it's hard to tell what series are worth reading and what should be skipped. What should I read? What should be considered essential reads for 40k buffs? Also, are there any other series that share the grimdark-fantasy-science fiction themes of 40k? I await your recommendations.

If you're already familiar with the setting, the Horus Heresy books are good for getting the ball rolling.

I haven't read moby dick in awhile but there was one scene I remember that was really gay. Something about a bunch of grown men washing their hands in "sperm?"
Recommend some books about the science of loneliness/ developing the skills of being lonely.

I can see what you see not—
Vision milky, then eyes rot.
When you turn, they will be gone,
Whispering their hidden song.
Then you see what cannot be—
Shadows move where light should be.
Out of darkness, out of mind,
Cast down into the Halls of the Blind.

I enjoyed most of the Halo canon. Kilo 5 trilogy was good, but the forerunner trilogy felt forced at times.

Butcher's Crossing stuck with me a little more than Blood Meridian. What are some of /lit/'s favorite westerns? They can be fun one's or contemplative ones. Get in here and share.

You've already taken two of the boards' three favorite.
Warlock is the third. Oakley.
Hall.

>>8156617
Shane and Warlock.
My Antonia and Death comes for the Archbishop are definitely westerns and they are great. NYRB really wants people to read The Settler and has been selling it with Butchers Crossing and Stoner.
