Current list of books I'm planning to read Any good recommendations

I recommend you stop listing and start reading

>>10014204
you forget infinite jest.

>reading for the sake of learning
how can someone be this insecure

>>10014220
Because Marz generally has a bad reputation.

>>10014234
>Marz
Marx

Demian - Hesse
Im not Stiller - Frisch
Siddharta - Hesse

>>10014234
And Ayn Rand doesn't?

>>10014204
If you must read Rand, I think one book will be more than enough to start with. Personally I would never recommend her books to anyone, but to each their own.

With regard to Capital, understand what Marx actually means by certain words he uses (and adapted from Hegel). Understanding them in an everyday sense can be very misleading. So get a well-edited version or some kind of companion / introduction to Marx.

>>10014298
Hesse is baby lit. Demian is for teens only.

>>10014448
Yeah I'm reading Rand and Marx mostly to see the differences in their views and form my own opinion

Why read Capital and then waste your time with the Manifesto after?
You know Capital and The Wealth of Nations are 1000+ pg right?

meme list.

>>10014749
Not entirely sure that the other end of the spectrum from Marx is Rand. Both Rand and Marx, while they seemingly preached against the state, in practical terms both advocated for its existence to secure their end goals.

A better opposite would be von Mises (Human Action) but it can be dense reading at times. Rothbard (Man Economy State) covers many of the same ideas and is infinitely more readable.

The list isn't in a particular order. I think I'll just end up reading the manifesto but The Wealth of Nations I do still plan on reading
>>10014842
Alright I'll give Rothbard a shot
Thanks anon

babbys first reading list

>>10014903
If you are going to read WoN or capital. Read capital. A lot of it is criticism of WoN anyway so you will get the gist of it without having to slog through 1000+ pages

go to B&N or Amazon and spend $5 on something tasteful

>>10014204
You post on /pol/, don't you?

>>10014204
>Pol's well read starter pack
Lmao why the fuck would you read so much rand

Don't read that crap, just read the Greeks.

This list is so bad I can't even criticize it. Just throw it into the garbage and start your life over.

Animal Farm is like grade school level see-through. It's really not subtle in any way but it's really short so it probably won't hurt to read it

1984 is good. For all the conservative talk about it being super anti-government etc. there's actually a pretty nice love story in there

Leviathan is basically Hobbes trying to recreate the English lanugage to suit his own ideas. It's interesting in its own right.

Haven't read the others, or I tried and quit too early to have an opinion

>>10015582
Of all the shit you could criticize you choose the most superficial aspect

>>10014204
OP nice meme-tier post of a meme-tier list

catch-22 if you’re in need of a laugh

>>10014923

Is PKD really that disliked on this bored?

>>10015882
The "superficial" details in life are pretty important to most people. Maybe not to someone like you who is still wearing cargo shorts in 2017...

>>10014204
>no Bakunin
>no Bookchin
>no Bread Book
>no Hoppe
>no Rothbard
Clearly you're interested in reading about a variety of economic and political philisophies. Why do you stray away from anarchist philosophy? It's pretty diverse too so there isn't one single "anarchy" to read about.

>>10014448
To say "Hesse is baby lit" is to not have read Steppenwolf, surely?

>>10015587
Curiosity mostly
>>10015586
Actually I don't post on /pol/
>>10016548
I'll start looking into those as well

>>10016548

Revised list based on criticism

Tried to balance out the different ways ideologies. Also not listed in any particular order.

>>10015875
>For all the conservative talk about it being super anti-government etc

Christ, Americans have such a limited sense of politics.

>>10017130
Proposed Roads to Freedom by Bertrand Russell offers a good overview of anarchism, socialism and communism, btw. Might be a good place to start if you're having difficulties getting into Bakunin or Kropotkin (the latter was the first of what is now called "socio-biologists"; very interesting).

>>10017146
Alright I'll write that down for later if I can't get into Kopotkin or Bakunin

>>10017130
Replace the communist manifesto with a superior book, wage labor and capital. It's not as long as capital but at least it's not the memefesto.

>>10017149
Alright.

>>10014204
Skip the Manifesto and read the German Ideology instead. Also read Origins of the Family.

>>10014952
how it ought to be

nobody needs to read more than one Ayn Rand book...as alluded to above, its a false dichotomy to see Marx and Ayn rand as two sides of a coin. You NEED to know Adam Smith and Marx to be an educated person, but starting with the original texts is heavy going and difficult to do outside of an academic environment. There are good textbooks that you'd get a lot more from, especially to begin with

>>10017130
STOP WASTING PAPER YOU FUCKING CUNT. JUST WRITE OUT THE LIST WITH YOUR KEYBOARD.

>>10014204
>1984/Animal Farm/Brave New World
Did you not read these in high school?

>>10014204
>Any good recommendations to add to it?
Yes. I recommend that you use goodreads.

>>10014204
>printing

I have already lost all possible respect for you.

>>10014204
I think you should get penmanship for third graders, should do you some good.

>>10016019
fuck you cargo shorts are rad

>>10014204
>>10017130
>writing a list
weird, but whatever
>writing a completley new list instead of just altering the first one
tell me the truth, are you on ADHD drugs?

>>10014212

This. Get off your computer.

>>10017130
OP you should really break these up into lists of fiction and nonfiction or something. Some of these books are going to require singular attention, while others could be read at the same time. And you're cheating yourself by spacing out all the ideologies i.e. If you want a comprehensive understanding of marx read kapital and the manifesto back to back.

>>10014204
you will never finish this list...
