Hey /lit/, I'm updating my reading list. Which books are

>>9856866
On the origin of species.

>>9856866
Mein Kampfus and The God Devolution.

The Power and the Glory

>>9856866
Your own personal to-read list? Tell us what you've read so far.

A reading list for someone else? Best for us to just name authors, or just go to /lit/'s own reading list (though it seems to be lacking any James Joyce for some reason).

Richard Hitchens' "The God Delusion."

>>9856888
It's for my personal reading list.
I've read so far a lot of the german and austrian authors, like Thomas Mann, Georg Büchner and Stefan Zweig. But I'd like to read more books from other countries like Fitzgerald or Marquez

>>9856890
Thanks for the suggestion, but I've already read that

just read the sticky lol

>>9856927
"Have you read the Roossians?"

>>9856937
What are you talking about?

>>9856948
Hemingway once said, "have you read the Roossians?" Or at least that's what my father says he's said. I don't know if he actually said it. Have you read the Russians? Tolstoy and Dostoevsky?

Here's authors and books, I've read or wish to read, or read the books about these books if they turn out to be stupidly verbose and full of redundancy, like Kant; jesus Kant get to the point.
It's a growing list.

The Righteous Mind
Man's Search for Meaning
Modern Man in Search of a Soul
Tolstoy by Henri Troyat
Way of Being
Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland
Meditations, Lucretius, Diogenes Laërtius, Aristophanes, Diogenes of Sinope: A Study of Greek Cynicism, Seneca...

Machiavelli

Sowell: Economic Facts and Fallacies... The Einstein Syndrome: Bright Children Who Talk Late, a follow-up to his Late-Talking Children... Intellectuals and Race... Marxism: Philosophy and Economics... Basic Economics: A Citizen's Guide to the Economy... A Personal Odyssey... A Conflict of Visions

>>9856955
Oooh ok, yes I've read Dostojewskis notes from the underground (at least I think that this is the correct title in english) and I'm working on Anna Karenina

>>9856966
Wow thank you very much!

>>9856990
I mean; I just copy pasted it from my books and stuff to read file
Most of these are nonfiction, half of which "every man" should read, or at least know about.
I guess every man should also be able to bench press their own weight and swim 1.5 miles as well.

There are also a bunch of basic economic and political books I plan to read.

Anyone know why there's no Joyce on the /lit? reading list?
