All right, robots. You have the option of keeping 5booksforever and never read any others. You can only read these 5 fives for the rest of your life. Which ones are these? For me, it's:
1-The Bible
2-Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Master Wittgenstein
3-The Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
4-Dao de Ching by Laozi
5-The Imitation of Christ by Thomas Kempis

Fuck off m8. Reading the Bible again when I'm times of suffering or depression, specially the Psalms and the Acts of the Apostles (which is my favorite of the entire Bible) never fails to give me faith and courage to keep on living. It's better than any "existentialist" books you could ever find.
>>39180729
Oh I didn't know you were unironically a Christian, it's fine.
>>39180764
Thanks robot fellow.

Few things in life have been more cathartic than reading the Meditations. Ive beem wamting to read the bible, but ill skip out on Wittgenstein. Thanks op

>Few things in life have been more cathartic than reading the Meditations.
What do you mean m8?
And why wouldn't you read Wittgenstein?
>>39182999
Do you know what cathartic means? He is saying that reading that book brought about changes in his perception, probably through reading personally relevant material which emotionally affected him.
>>39179864
>The Bible is composed of 66 books
Well on that note...I'd choose a magical collection of every garfield treasury packed into one book, 100 cats who changed civilization, a complete calvin and hobbes treasurey, the bible and an akashic record in the form of a book or anne of green gables
1. The RSV Bible
2. The Bible in Latin
3. The Bible in Greek
4. The Torah in Hebrew
5. One Piece because it will never end
t. A Catholic linguist
I haven't read much for pleasure in a while. I could pick some, but I'd get bored with only 5 ordinary books.
The Fountainhead, The Hobbit, The Stand, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, (having a hard time coming up with a fifth), Atlas Shrugged maybe? Read it more than once.
The only book I can think of would be The Count of Monte Cristo
1. El Quijote, by Cervantes
2 The tree of knowledge, by Baroja
3 La Regenta, by Clarin
4 El Criticon, by Baltasar Gracian
5 El Buscon, by Quevedo
1. A Confederacy of Dunces
2. Catch 22
The other three would be much harder to choose, and it depends if I still have access to the internet for information etc.

The canonical Bible contains 73 books as solemnly affirmed at the Council of Trent.
https://history.hanover.edu/texts/trent/ct04.html
>But if any one receive not, as sacred and canonical, the said books entire with all their parts, as they have been used to be read in the Catholic Church, and as they are contained in the old Latin vulgate edition; and knowingly and deliberately contemn the traditions aforesaid; let him be anathema.
