The Angel Esmerelda
Looking for three things
Books from radical political thinker. Unabomber, Ligotti, Moldbug, Linkola is type I have. I'd like other new perspectives.
Also looking for basic bitch niche books from political circles. What does a intro communist, radical Muslim, or lib thinker consider their esoteric litmus or favorite.
Additionally interested in books on IR that political thinkers read. I've got the Grand Chessboard on order but would like more.
Anything from any of these is appreciated.

What are some good books about post-Alexander Hellenistic Greece? It could be either academic or pop. Most of the books recommended in the charts you guys made are about ancient and classical Greece.
It's not a really popular or (imo) interesting period because it lacks the big names and famous events of earlier Greece and later Rome. It's far from dull, it just doesn't leave a remarkable impression, as it's largely a mess of squabbling dynasties broken off from Alexander's conquests, which doesn't really change until Rome enters the world stage mid 3rd cent. bc. 3rd century is basically Roman/Carthaginian history, and the century closes with almost total Roman domination (barring some Greek leagues of alliance, and Egypt), to be solidified in 146.

German scholar Christian Habicht's Athens from Alexander to Antony (Harvard pb) was a little dry, but solid.

>Where does /lit/ get their books?
Online?
Thrift store?
Walmart/Target?
>Also, do you prefer used or new?
From the Amazon rainforest. Millions of trees cut for capital gain, but at least I can read over 4,000 pages of Harry Potter's whacky adventures; this may sound like I'm being critical, but I fully support the destruction of wildlife habitat.

Booklooker, Amazon, local antiquatarian book store and book markets. Always used, I rarely pay more than 5€/book with shipping. You just have to take your time. Just ordered 12 for around 50€.
>>9836312
Have you heard of thriftbooks? I just ordered a book the other day that was an original (at least earlier) copy.

What does /lit/ think of 1984?
>>9835933
also other books like 1984. (not animal farm)
>>9835933
It's an easy and fun read, but to be honest not very high-tier. Together with Animal Farm, It's just too blatantly anti-stalinist literature.
Write me a thought-provoking one sentence story.

What books will help me deal with this feel?
>>9835773
Did you try to 'redpill' them, white brother of Kek?
>>9835781
Just the opposite. The academy is riddled with old conservatives who can't handle any progressive ideas beyond their time.

How do you guys talk about literature without feeling super pretentious? I have no problem talking about philosophy and math with other people, if they're educated and not stoner "philosophers" etc. but whenever I talk about literature, I feel an intense self-loathing because of how pretentious it all seemed. All the themes in literature seem to be things that should not be discussed, that do not benefit at all from this back and forth, but should remain on the page. How can you possibly talk about, say, the psychological insights of Proust or Joyce without totally oversimplifying and hand waving it all? These are things that I think can only be shown, that cannot be talked about, theorized about.
it means you dont know enough about it to talk without sounding pretentious.
