>>9648716
I think you mean degree not course. My intro philosophy course drifted over just key elements.

The cave, and the apology then we moved pretty quickly into Kant, and Pascal, then existential stuff with Sartre. Probably some stuff I'm forgetting.

You could do a college course over each stage easily, so that list has got to be equivelant to a huge amouny of academic work. Not my major though, so anybody who knows more correct me.

I wasted a lot of time reading occult stuff, and I think Franz Bardon's initiation into hermetics, and Yogi Science of Breath should be moved up to starter material. They're guided where as The Kybalion is definitely a core work, but it's not accessible, and you should be practicing from day one instead of reading about vibrations.

I found the chart in another chart thread a while ago. I did some digging through archives and found out that "pater duplicat" is latin for "father dubs" which was a tripfag on /lit/ a few years ago. The image is a meme - half the books on it aren't real.

Anyone got a guide to Antiquity/Classical era historical texts? Have read a decent amount of Greek epics and philosophy, but not any history.
As for Romans, I've tried to read Comentarii de Bello Gallico but it numbed my brain. Straight war accounts don't grip me.

The Doom that Came to Sarnath serves moreas a prelude to Dream Quest than Nyarlathotep. Actually, Lovecraft's Dream World series should be it's own flow point, starting with The Silver Key, then all of his other dream world storys, then Sarnath, and ending at Dream Quest.

I find that Chekhov's longer stories are marginally weaker than his shorter stuff. Stories like Ward No 6 and Anna on the Neck beat your the head while the simplicity and brevity "Death of Government Clerk" and "A Little Game" exemplified the essense a short story should.

The same way that reading through a bunch of biology textbooks constitutes a biology course-- it is missing the engagement with the text through assignments and a professor to guide you through the knowledge.

I think if you picked a good amount of these and read through them with either an online course, with a companion guidebook, or with some audio lectures on them, then yes, you would get about the experience of a philosophy course.

The thing is, philosophy courses are far more likely to give you the important snippets of each of those books so that you do not have to trudge through all of it. Also consider that it took the Vienna circle, a group of very well-regarded intellectuals, an entire year or two to get through Wittgenstein's TLP.

I sort of object to the OP's approach. Instead of saying "chart me ur gr8 wisdom" why not just look up philosophy courses and their syllabuses? These things tend to be pretty open, you might even be able to get the assignments as well. I feel like this whole meme culture is not helpful.

Is there a chart which helps ease a sort of beginner reader into progressively more and more adept pieces of writing? Something that starts relatively easy, like Siddhartha, then has books getting more and more dense in language, themes, and content in general until you hit like Finns Wake or something like that. I've so many book I've bought recently and I'm not sure where to begin because I've lost my reading edge.

>>9657583
Glad to see that my meme booklist is getting some traction. I still support it wholeheartedly, there's a lot of good books here.

>>9658952
You should start with How to Read a Book by Mortimer Adler, The Art of Fiction by David Lodge, and The Oxford Essentials Guide to Writing by Thomas Kane.

Who has the cyberpunk/scifi chart?

>>9646273
I'm glad to see Peter Sotos and The Consumer there, they're always underrated when it comes to these lists.

That said, that pick for the Sotos book is really random, it really should have been Proxy, since that's a readily available collection of five of his most important books (and the only book of his that can be gotten for a decent price, except maybe Index which comes in Proxy anyway).

Is it simply because it's so obviously the best choice for society that it doesn't need books?

Can somebody tell me what exactly is wrong with the black&white cover of Gravity's Rainbow? It's the only version I can find locally.

>>9659954
It's social satire about class/rank/international relations, mixed with ironic philosophizing about how we pretend life isn't pathetically unbearable.

I think you can separate the social satire from the philosophy, but in the narrative they're so intertwined (social caste systems encourage people to accept what they "are") you might as well call it political philosophy.

>>9659973
https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/2doc2h/errors_in_penguin_deluxe_edition_of_gravitys/
seems minor but its also an ugly cover so I would avoid personally.

>>9659990
That makes a lot of sense. I knew that classes and shit was so themed upon but just didn't know what Voltaire wanted it to mean.

I thought the story was very good and the response you just gave, has given me some clarity to make more sense of it.

This is why I'm a little hesitant to start reading philosophy without having someone to teach me direct me afterwards, incase I am too slow or just miss the subtext/overarching plot/meaning
