Starship troopers, second book of my /pol/bookclub journey

Halfway through it. It's a pretty great read so far.

>also i was thinking that maybe someone should make a monthly pol book club thread where we use strawpoll to decide which book we should read and in the thread next month we talk about how shitty it was. what are your thoughts?
Too many people will go in and out of the book club to accomplish anything that can't be done in a private chatroom. Besides, we all have our own interests, schedules and book lists.

+1 upvote for Dostoyevsky

I think standard anti-communist reading should be The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and Stalin: Paradoxes of Power 1878-1928 by Stephen Kotkin

>>136348488

I have The Gulag Archipelago. Dostoevsky has been my main man since I was probably 15. Only Kierkegaard has matched my interest of him as an adult.

Are 1984 and Animal Farm worth reading?

Can't tell if they are memes or not.

No joke, Mein Kampf.

>>136350283
Both are 100% worth reading, no memeing.

>>136350283

1984 is, but Animal Farm is pretty childish really. I think both Orwell and Vonnegut are pretty simple and silly.

>>136350411
>>136350440
I'll read them both. At the very least I'll be able to understand the constant references.

>>136350509
Orwell wrote his books as satires. Don't take the plot of1984 seriously - but the ideas it has are all based on real life occurrences. Most people make the mistake of thinking that his writing is silly and over-the-top, but this is because hes simplified his books so that even a child could understand.

>>136350509

I'd recommend Notes from Underground over 1984 any day.

I've been working through this list and sometimes it doesn't go by "difficulty" it goes by accessibility almost based on the previous works, for example I keep finding earlier books referenced in the later ones.
I think this is why Lord of the Rings is considered "difficult" on this list too, it isn't hard to read per se but you will view it in a whole different light once you have the political and philosophical framework from the books prior to it

Well our most recent conversation was about Jews, I did my utmost to remain neutral - I simply explained the reasons why they have a bad rep, e.g. origins of Jewish lending in medieval society, and why they were considered vermin by practically the entire world for being present in every country with no "homeland". Media control and the vast 'coincidences'. So much to discuss with an uneducated mind.

That's natural, you'll feel a little lost until the second volume. It comes together wonderfully, everything that occurs is recalled later on and later details reveal a lot of foreshadowing.

> The Camp of the Saints (Le Camp des Saints) is a 1973 French novel by author and explorer Jean Raspail. The novel depicts a setting wherein Third World mass immigration to France and the West leads to the destruction of Western civilization. Almost forty years after its initial publication, the novel returned to the bestseller list in 2011.[1] It is considered by many readers and reviewers to be a prophetic book, correctly predicting a massive immigration wave from the Third World into 21st Century Europe.
