>now I'm scared to pick them up
He's a valid and significant philosopher, why would you even think twice about just picking up some books by him let alone be "scared"
"Oh no someone has right wing beliefs!" Tell em to fuck off anon if anyone says anything, not like anyone will though

Anyone with an ideology they strongly adhere to, for example a racist, will find relations to and evidence for their world view in most things they read, assuming that's what they'd like to see.

Godlike.
I liked Endymion too

>>7652846
Books 1 through 3 are great futuristic science fiction. Cool interstellar travel, interesting alien species, and a decent story arc. Book 4 feels like he just threw it together, like he wasn't sure where to go, so he gets preachy and philosophical. Definitely worth the read, but the ending May let you down with a "meh".

>drinking coffee

Literally the only reasona people do that are if they're bothered by the loneliness of writing but still want to write, they can't stop masturbating to porn if they try to write alone or they just want to be seen writing (tho that's more an adolescent thing)

>>7646194
I like them. There aren't any other distractions and I don't drink coffee anyway, so I just buy one to pay for my seat. Plus, there are cute baristas.
