junger is an ever bigger meme than stirner

Memes aside, is that a good book?

It's real weird, more philosophy than a book.

>mfw our memes get confirmed by Based Jünger

This is a good feel.

The difference is Stirner was a juvenile, Jünger is a genius

There are countless pearls of wisdom in this book...

To make vague more precise, to define the indefinite more and more sharply; that is the task of every development, every temporal exertion. (9)

A good hawk, a swift hound, a noble steed
Are worth far more than twenty women indeed (14)

Time itself provides enjoyment. Therein lies the secret of tobacco. (19)

When we look back, our eyes alight on graves and ruins, on a field of rubble. We are the inveigled by a mirage of time; while believing that we are advancing and progressing, we are actually moving towards that past. Sooner will belong to it: time passes over us. This sorrow overshadows a historian.

Bees have rediscovered the kinship between flora and fauna. Cosmogonic Eros in a favorable conjunction. (21)

Distinctions between the races vanish at the peaks (23)

Evil becomes more dreadful the longer it is deprived of air. (23)

I'm finding Eumeswil pretty slow-going. It's certainly a great novel, but I wouldn't recommend starting with it. His memoir Storm of Steel is amazing, and The Glass Bees is a very fine short novel. I also greatly enjoyed Aladdin's Problem, which is sort of in between Glass Bees and Eumeswil in complexity.

I fully agree with your assessment. Glass Bees and Aladdin's Problem are prerequisites before one reads Eumeswil, which is incredibly complex compared to the former.

I would put Storm of Steel in a class of its own. It's raw and matter-of-fact, written by a warrior as opposed to a philosopher.
