Stack, which one to start

>>9886706
Stoner

is it really that good? I've had it recommended, that's why I decided to purchase

>>9886706
August 1914

Why is your August 1914 so small?

I don't know, maybe it's just an earlier edition?

do you think it misses out on crucial point because it's shorter?

>>9886706
that;s a pretty solid stack anon, read solzy

This is all I have with me for the next month and a half, what should I read next?

Almost finished The Crusades, it isn't too bad, so far.

>>9886706
>Primo Levi: The Periodic Table

Did he actually write a book on chemistry? Or is it also about the Holocaust? I've only read his book about being in Auschwitz.

Rate me boys

>>9889293
It uses the Periodic Table as a frame for stories with the given chemical element tying into the story in some way. There's a concentration camp story in it if I recall.

>>9890690
you gonna read mathematics for college or just for fun?

>>9890708
Just for fun to supplement my computer science knowledge, refresh what I forgot and to advance where I left off. I have a small wishlist of more advanced mathematics I want to study but these types of books generally never drop in price below a certain threshold and I am a poorfag.

How much of a meme is error theory?

No picture but I bought 3-4 days ago Complete works of William Shakespeare, Faust & Paradise Lost.

I want to get Ezra Pound, Whitman, Mill collected works if I can find them and KJV Bible + Moby Dick.

Any recommendations for version of Moby Dick to look out for?

>>9888904
Every Day life in Imperial China. Tell me more about the Crusades. Any bias or editorialising that occurs in it or what?

>>9890807
Irwin who? How is J.L. Mackie's Ethics?

>>9891634
From what I've heard at the end of the book he provides his own thoughts and theses as to how the Crusades are affecting us to this day, and the people I've heard that from didn't speak highly of his conclusions.

He explicitly uses the positive and negative terms for success and failures depending on which narrative he's focusing on, i.e. in a chapter focusing on Crusaders he'll describe an event as "fortunate" while in a Muslim focused chapter he'd describe the same event as "unfortunate".

At certain points of the book he'll sort of mention his own opinion based on the facts, like since Nur al-Din never focused on jihad for the majority of his life and instead attacked other muslims to increase his power, Asbridge tells us that he never viewed the Christians as a true threat worthy of much time.

>>9890690
>Precalculus
>Basic College Mathematics

Kek this is the highest level of math a software "engineer" needs.

>>9891658
>The Way of Men
I tried reading this, but it was too collectivist. Have you read it much yet? What are your thoughts?

Also, isn't Great Again ghostwritten?

Is The South was Right a good book or is it just shitposting?

>>9886706

Don't start with Solzh's 1914. Read the Gulag Archipelago!

>>9891643
Thanks. Any other suggestions over the Crusades or readings on Islam? I've got a few books on my reading list about the Crusaders and I might post some things later to see what people have to say.

>>9891694
Sorry, no idea really. I'm a near-east and medieval brainlet. I figured the Crusades would give me a good starting point for both. I'd be interested to see what you have on your list, though.

>>9891658
>>9891667

Also reading The Way Of Men...enjoying it so far.

>>9890748
you learn C by programming in it, not by buying physical reference manuals.

>>9891964
I already know C. It's good to have a physical reference manual.

>>9892033
physical programming books are a meme. if you know C, then you only need to look up the things you don't know on the internet.

>>9891719
Just got home so it'll probably be a while on the few books I have. Took a course with a professor I'm close to who is more of a European Medievalist but has an increasing interest in Islam during the Middle Ages.

>>9890690
The Master and Margarita is fun as fuck. A Farewell to Arms is great too but the ending crushed me. Haven't read the others but I'd like to read The Lost World and The Brothers K. someday.

Absolutely terrible, maybe with the exception of Lolita.

>>9893456
Hope you enjoy Wind-Up Bird. One of my favorite reads when I was first getting into lit. Thinking about reading it again

>>9893741
No it's terrible too

>>9893695

True patrician coming through.

>>9890807
Mackie's Ethics is legit. On the other hand, I'm slightly retarded and it just resonated very profoudnly with me

>>9893965
HAHAhA IDIOT!

>>9891658
that's some serious David Duke-core, anon

>>9893965
I've wanted that early Irish Myths and Sagas for a while. Reading Temple of Golden Pavilion right now, pretty good. Can't comment on the others though.

>>9894928

I wonder what the feds will think when they find lolita and weeb shit in his safehouse.

>>9894946
was there any surprise that a KKK spokesperson who couldn't get pussy had to rely on lolita and weebshit though

he's probably already on a watchlist for playing hyperdimension neptunia even once

>>9894946

>>9891658
I'm shocked that you're literate

Here's the full stack actually.

>>9899978
War and Punishment. Read both of them next, in whatever order you wish.

>>9899994
Yeah I was thinking of War & Peace next. Gonna take a break from novels for a bit and read the Gita though. When I get back to it I'll read War & Peace. Might do Fury after that though. I head Crime & Punishment wasn't as good as Brother's K or War & Peace.

Still something worth getting through in my opinion. Let me know how that goes though if you are still watching this thread.

>Linear Algebra Done Right

Literally the worst math.
I got a 60% on my Topics in Linear Algebra final, but the teacher and class were so bad that I was scaled up to an A.

>>9890807
It's the only metaethics for people with 3 digit IQs. I'd recommend Jonas Olson's 2014 book as a follow-up.

>>9902206
That press conference yesterday was pretty impressive as well. And fake news is even faker today, when will they ever learn.

>>9899566
That's the norton critical. I have it as well. The full text is actually less than half of that and the rest is critical essays. Its printed on bible paper pretty much.

>>9901227
