I will say that audio recordings of the author reading their own work are nice for entertainment, especially if it's a favorite work.

Still wouldn't substitute it for first time experience with the text tho

Why spend money on the ramblings of a violent, mentally ill pedophile when /r9k/ is right around the bend

it has a lot to do with history and being informed on topics of real importance in todays society but you dont know about that because youre a fucking retard high school kid whos probably got snot running down his sleeves

One of the most bracing, erudite, and no bullshit authors I've ever read. Literally right about everything

>>7621364
I completely disagree with his politics and philosophy, but I think a lot of it is consistent and well written so I can see the appeal. There are a lot of complete retards who regurgitate his quotes everywhere tho so I generally don't find discussion about him to be positive in any kind of way

>>7621381
I don't actually seem his discussed very often at all - what quotes to people generally attribute?

Nah not a tablet, ereaders dont tire you eyes as much as normal tablets because ereaders dont emit light

A tablet is not for reading for a reason. And just pirate everything.

>What ereaders do you use
I use a kindle touch, and have had the same one for 6 years now. It is a wonderful piece of hardware. I would buy a Kindle Voyage 2 if I was being profligate, or a regular paperwhite if my touch broke
>should I get a tablet
I use my Ipad Air for PDFs. It is a great piece of tech since I dont sit at my pc all day. That said, I do 90% of my reading on kindle.

I'd think it would make more sense if you read it like that
