I'll spend this easter mostly alone, without internet or access to electricity, which means ill spend most of it reading. The probblem is that i dont have a clue what book to read.
So, any suggestions? The book needs to be long (1000 or more), and prefeerably thought provoking.
If i had to choose now, Infinite Jest is the book i'd choose, but i have not in any way made up my mind.
This whole post makes me laugh.

it sounds like the perfect time to read the bible and other catholic works in your backlog.

Oh, actually Karamazov would work very well I think

What are you talking about? We had to study it several times a week...

Thats actually a great suggestion, been wanting to read dostojevskij for a long time. I've heard that its translations are all bad though.

Assuming an English translation, I've read MacAndrew, McDuff, and Matlaw's revision of Garnett, and all three of them are good I would say. Another translation I am very intrigued by personally, and the next one I will read, is Avsey (who focused on Dostoyevsky exclusively in his translation work). (I am critical of Pevear and Volokhonsky for Dostoyevsky and so wouldn't recommend them.)

Thanks. Btw, that seems to only happen in america tbqh. I was sent to private school in Norway, a country with very few catholics, and consequently very few schools.

He's not schizo anon, he has wisdom but cannot articulate it in a way that wouldn't make normalfags go "lol he crazy"

I sort of agree with you, but he's clearly to some degree lost his mind. Just look at his older videos. There he spoke of the same ideas, just more coherently. To me it seems like he's overdosed on truth, just like tons of other people have.
Alex jones is a perfect example. He started out being reasonable (though on the wacky side), but he overdosed/dug too deep, and now he is a total schizo.
