The Whisperer in Darkness and the At the Mountains of Darkness are my favs

And I did enjoy the Re-Animator movies. And Neil Gaiman wrote some Lovecraft-inspired short stories, they were pretty much okay.

Senpai...

Actually, start with the Greeks is not a bad idea. There's a reason it was the basis of all education for centuries.

Also, non-fiction is quite general. Mind being perhaps more specific ?

>Do I have to start with the greeks to understand the Middle-Upper paleolithic transition?
Wow.
Also, threads like these severely underestimate the mankind's existing knowledge and literature.

>>7654884

You need to read the specific works of (insert philosopher/historian/whatever) that were dedicated to specific topics (e.g Schopenhauers essay on women, not memeing, totally serious just giving an example).

I cant think of a single good writer who was a protestant, and have never met a cool dude who called himself one

This thread is as bad as the guy who wanted to be "redpilled on catholicism" so that he could become a modern crusader, and when it was pointed out to him that once someone begins expressing themselves violently they stop being Christian he went all REEEEEEEEEEEE

It's probably some new hipster thing.

Obviously it depends on how fast you want to become a "buff" and what your definition of a buff is. It seems like your definition is very shallow though judging by your wording.
If you're reading to be an XD book nerd just to know boring facts about books then you're going to burn out pretty quickly. Read at your own pace. Knowledge will come.

lol looks like fight club

You'll get over how "mind blowing" Vonnegut's books are when you start reading actual good literature
Slaughterhouse Five is still pretty decent though

Well, I have read good literature, Catch-22 is my favorite book and I've read and liked most of the recommended list.

But I still love Vonnegut and Terry Pratchett.

I am ready for your hate.

i think they're stupid

absalom, absalom! is the last good book that can use it

Is this book good? Anyone here read it?

I think he should have just done theology and stayed away from philosophy.

I've never even read Hegel but when I think about him and his ideas I associate them with the colors green and brown.

I don't know why.
