Is it ok if I read this as my first philosophy book?

Thats not philosophy but go ahead

I mean, it's probably not a smart decision to do so as you won't appreciate the importance of the people he writes about, but do what you like my family.

I suspect Thomas Ligotti is only well-regarded (by people who spend a lot of time on the internet) for two reasons:
he's too opaque for a beginner to confidently judge: a beginner wonders whether it's bullshit or he's just not *getting* it
Ligotti is too obscure for a prominent critic to read; if one did, everyone would know that it's bullshit, and that there isn't anything in it worth getting to be gotten

>opaque
Not at all. What did you find unclear about Ligotti's ideas or writing?
>bullshit
How so?
