Pro-tip: Mishima wasn't a fascist

I've read that. Thanks but I'm more looking for fiction.

Fatherland

"Players" especially.Holy fuck. Published in 77, I think. Very fucking weird to read after 9/11.

Plus some parts of "Mao II" and "Underworld."

pynchon probably told him

>>7500348
except delillo has surpassed pynchon

Translations can be their own unique work of art.

On the contrary, to be an "all around erudite and reader" you HAVE to know a few languages. You might not be able to read every great book ever made in its original language, but if you just read everything in English you're missing out on a good chunk of what literature can provide

what's there to get?

>>7499750

not much tbqf.

>>7499734

If anything, it's heavyhanded.

>>7499732
Depends on how much I care about the book.

I'm currently looking up every single one as well as writing them down in a notebook to improve my English vocabulary. It really helps but stops any kind of progress with my reading list.

fucking clover app

>try to guess from context/etymology, sometimes it's surprisingly simple
>if can't, look it up on wiktionary with etymology
>understand constituent/root words (e.g. latin)
>helps to memorise the word by adding more detail about it in your mind ("adumbrate --> ad umbra --> fore-shadow --> imply, portend," instead of just "adumbrate means portend!!")

Why? That genre has been done to death and ran in to the ground. Read something else.

>>7499655
I didn't really started to get into it till recently. Read 1984, brave new world and now I, robot. And it gets really annoying to read the wrong views about the future. I thought maybe there is some modern novel out there that I would actually fully enjoy.

Hunger Games

You should read them anyway. But yes, you should be able to enjoy them. They're very funny.

Russian.

I'd suggest looking at the beginning of each online and seeing which style you prefer.

I personally really like P&V, it's a big plus that the wife translates Russian Orthodox theology books professionally, and the husband is a professional prose stylist.

Where did it go right?

logical positivism, much like marxism, is a jewish mindtrap matrix system. it is wrong by design, it was created to distract you and make you serve the interests of a shady cabal.

it all ends in tears though

I preferred the Procopius version tbqh

And just remember, when she wrote it, she was still hot. While EVERY WORD YOU READ was being fashioned, she had a moist young beautiful pussy. Every little shift in her chair, probably even every single keystroke made her pussy move and squish around just a little bit inside her, her boobs jiggle and sway and mush together sexily. You are reading something that caused a beautiful young woman's big fucking tits and hot wet pussy to move, constantly, endlessly, for hundreds if not thousands of hours. You are reading a manifesto of blood, sweat, and pussy juice. You're taking an engine of sustained pussy perturbation, turning it inside out, and painstakingly inscribing every single constituent letter of it onto the deepest regions of your mind, intimately associating the pleasure of reading it with the process of constant tit jiggling it created. You're practically making love to an eternally young Donna Tartt every time you turn a page of The Secret History. They say if you are truly careful, if you truly savour it, you can sometimes smell hints of her perfume, or feel her thigh brush against your hand.

Occasionally. I am obsessed with collections, though, so I prefer buying books.

I am also an absurdly slow reader so I rarely finish on time and it's annoying to drive 45 minutes to the closest decent library to renew it.

I read between classes in my uni library

Only when necessary, I don't like dirty dusty books.

THANK YOU EBOLA-CHAN
I LOVE YOU EBOLA-CHAN

Seriously, can anyone help? I thought Evola had a mild following on here.

>>7496760
Nah. Max Stirner is our hero (but we all want to be Wittgenstein).
You should try /pol/, I feel that their batshit insanity about conservatism inclines them towards Evola.
