Bump for interest.I don't read NEARLY enough. I can feel my brain rotting, I really need to start studying some more on my free time. I don't really judge people too much based on their knowledge, but I would like to be a smart guy, I think it'd just help me appreciate what happens around me more. I like history books, biology, biographies, and fiction of all kinds!

I'm going to bed soon, but before I do I'll talk about the last two books I read. I read 100 years of solitude, I enjoyed it quite a lot. I'd liked the ethereal, storybook kind of vibe the book has to it. I loved all the characters, and how vividly they were portrayed. Even though crazy stuff was always going on, I was never taken out of it, I was just entertained. I thought it was interesting that the sort of magic of the world slowly faded as the family fell into their solitude, and Columbia was an interesting setting.

I also read " The Hellenistic world from Alexander to the Roman Conquest". Very fascinating read, although it's not really a history book. It's more of a chronological collection of relent historical sources. That's very neat and adds some credence to it (Although a lot of the sources end up being Roman stuff that was written way after the fact and with bias anyway), it can make some of the reading a little try and confusing for a lay person such as myself. Still, very cool, I was working my way through it but I stopped a while ago and haven't gotten back into it.

Notes from Underground, the main character is a crazy robot.

The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov

Great book but has literally nothing to do with r9k

>>38677335
no longer human isn't exactly a robot book but it often questions the reasoning behind normies so you might enjoy it.

Here are some books /r9k/ might enjoy:
Ivan Goncharov - Oblomov
Knut Hamsun - Hunger
Juvenalis' satires, especially II, III, VI and X
Catullus' poems, about his slutty oneitis.
Herman Hesse - Kleine Welt (contains a short story about a 30 year old virgin who is pressured by his mom to find a wife)
Herman Hesse - Klein und Wagner
Wieslaw Mysliwski - Stone upon stone (about an old man who is building his own grave, while reflecting on his life)
Fjodor Dostoyevski - The double (about a wagecuck who goes insane)
Goethe - The sorrows of young Werther

I've been reading some military genre fiction stuff by Stephen Hunter. It's not exactly high literature but it's fun.

Haven't read half of these. I recommend the book of disquiet, Oblomov, steppenwulf and notes from underground.

Ignatius J Reilly was the first Robot.

Bonus points: the author killed himself before the book even got published. We only have the book because his tendie procurer harassed a publisher into reading it.

Status Anxiety by Alain de Botton. It's a great read if you've ever felt guilty/bad/sad about being outcast from society.

Nausea by Jean Paul sartre

It's pretty chill but I'm only halfway through

Look up a series on YouTube called academy of Ideas. It covers Neiztche as well as a lot of other philosophers with his ideologies. I know it's not reading, but you could technically read the slide show?

Ive read the stranger. It's well written and fairly short possible to finish in one sitting. Very relatable lifestyle minus the girlfriend and murder
