Daily reminder that anybody who hasn't read the Jest(1) is a massive pleb(2).

(1): Infinite Jest is a 1996 novel by American writer David Foster Wallace. The lengthy and complex work takes place in a North American dystopia, centering on a junior tennis academy and a nearby substance-abuse recovery center. The novel touches on many topics, including addiction and recovery, suicide, family relationships, entertainment and advertising, film theory, U.S. Canada relations (as well as Quebec separatism), and tennis. The novel includes 388 endnotes that cap almost a thousand pages of prose; these endnotes, together with the book's detailed fictional world, have led some to categorize it as an encyclopedic novel.
Time magazine included the novel in its 2005 list of the 100 best English-language novels published since 1923.
Infinite Jest is a bestseller in literary fiction, having sold 44,000 copies by the end of its first year of publication. The novel has continued to sell steadily and attract critical commentary. As of 2016, its worldwide sales have exceeded one million copies.

(2): In ancient Rome, the plebs was the general body of free Roman citizens who were not patricians, as determined by the census. From the 4th century BC or earlier, they were known as commoners (part of the lower social status).
Literary references to the plebs, however, usually mean the ordinary citizens of Rome as a whole, as distinguished from the elite-a sense retained by ''plebeian'' in English. In the very earliest days of Rome, plebeians were any tribe or clan without advisers to the King. In time, the word - which is related to the Greek word for crowd, plethos - came to mean the common people.

What do you have to know in order to read the ego and its own by stirner?

>>36340688
Excellent original taste Anon-kun!

>>36340927
Start with the Greeks and work your way up throught the different flows of philosophy. The most important philosopher which Max Stirner discusses a lot (aside from the Greeks) is Hegel. Be sure to read his entire life story and his entire oeuvre because Stirner is going to make a lot of jokes and references to Hegel and his philosophy. To be honest, The Ego And It's Own is not really worth reading since his entire philosophy can be explained in a single sentence. He's just a meme.

>tfw want to escape in fantasy because I hate real life
>tfw already read all the good ones and people only recommend nonfiction and classics

>>36341236
what are some good fantasy books?

>>36341236
You have already read Mason & Dixon, Gravity's Rainbow, Infinite Jest, Ulysses, The Brothers Karamazov and The Holy Bible? How old are you? That's impressive if true.

The wheel of time will keep you busy if you haven't read that and like to keep immersing yourself in a world.
Or you can go for the first law series if you want something gritty.

I can't tell you about fiction because I don't normally read that. So I'll say a bunch of nonfiction titles on topics I've been interested on.

If you want one of the best books on psychology out there you should go for "Prometheus Rising" by Robert Anton Wilson.

If you want a practical spiritual book you should try "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.

If you want the best book that exists on personal relationships go for "How to Make Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. I swear this book could rehabilitate 90% of /r9k/ were they ever to actually try it.

"The Unchained Man" by Caleb Jones is one of the best books on women, dating, personal finance and turning your life around in general. Although it is a great book many people would be very deeply offended on the author's views on monogamy, mainly because of their incorrect societal programming.

If you are a political nerd like me and want one of the most eye opening books ever written go for "The Sovereign Individual" by James Dale Davidson and Lord William Ress-Moog. Such an incredible mine of truth bombs on the matter of economics, politics and history. You will never see the world the same again.

I love Neuromancer by William Gibson.

Nonfiction is the real deal. There is so much incredibly weird shit that happens and has happened in the real world that it surpasses fiction.

Writers like Jules Verne and H.P. Lovecraft believed in many crazy theories that integrated in their fiction works.

And what's most frightening is when you realize that most literature and all sorts of scripture that date to even thousands of years ago that we often consider just fantasy or superstition is actually based in very real stuff.

In Anne's sexual awakening was mine also as I first read it when I was around 10 or 11, it was definitely the first time I'd ever thought about female masturbation; it's a very pure and emotional book

>>36341364

props to you. i was a fuckin tard when i was your age

The best philosophy book I've read, since you posted Stirner, is Merleau-Ponty's The Phenomenology of Perception.

>>36342078
Definitely, me too, was the first time I ever read anything about that sorta stuff. I was super ashamed reading about it.

>>36342226
I'm still a tard, I didn't really understand them I think.
