Crime and Punishment

In Cold Blood

the original

Ferdinand von Schirach wrote some that have become a bit reknown

Start with the Greeks

I think you have to follow text from left to right with your eyeballs and understand what you´re reading, I might be mistaken though

I really hope I never get to the point where I stop thinking about what I'm reading, stop examining the complexities of it, and stop forming my original thoughts on it and "just read, man", relegating word and thought to just another shiny consumable to feel and then discard.

nah that's just something you do initially. Most boards you stop caring and memeing a few months in.

>mfw that one kid rips his own throat out with his bare hands while screaming to the heavens

yes he won, but he didint know that, thats why he continues to walk.
the ending was OK, but the novel itself really terrible...

It's the only " text book" I kept from six years in Psychology.

Definitely the definitive social psych book, to the point that everyone in the field is terrified to even try and compete. You will not find another good book that covers the broad range of social psychology issues.

Whether that is right or not is questionable, but if you want to get into social psych, you will find that every other relevant text is building off of Aronson, not competing with him. Generations of social psychologists have been educated based on his writing.

A shot in the dark here, but maybe How to Get Over Oneself.

What is YA fiction? To me its anything that appeals largely to people age 13- 25, the fact that people within this age range don't want what they love described as being such comes down to their age, pretentiousness, and their wish to be seen as full adults mentally if not physically. Truth is any book you read before 25-30 needs reading again later, you may have read it, but you havent read it as an adult.

Who cares? It's a really good book imo.

>He... rapes her several times during the book.
>He doesn't seem to have any agency...

The two do not compute. If you lack agency, you lack the ability to rape.

well, i got to at least give her credit for the trigger warning

>I couldn't empathize with the characters
>it was boring

Probably the two most overused and unsubstantial critiques forwarded by these kind of people

Lovecraft
Poe
Ligotti
Clive Barker's Books of Blood
Algernon Blackwood
etc

1 The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho
2 The Fault In Our Stars, by John Green
3 To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee (white)

This might sound like a shitpost so bear with me. I know this isn't traditional horror. But these books make the ordinary reader reveal in a flash human nature in all its horror. The maudlin, hypocritical sentimentality. The thoughtless, shapeless banality, more sinister than any incomprehensible monster of Lovecraftian ken for its very comprehensibility,

Gödel, Escher, Bach.

No. He's positively wicked!
