I just started re-reading Lord of The Rings again since it has been like a decade. I forgot how good it was.
My friends keep recommending it to me
>should I read it

Beowulf. I've had a copy of it lying in my bookshelf since nearly 12 years ago, but I only started reading it a week ago.
It's called 'Kill Everyone'
Careful with that edge. You might hurt yourself.
The Fall of the Roman Republic - Plutarch
Introduction to Metaphysics - Henri Bergson
Refutation of All Heresies - Hippolytus
Metaphysics - Aristotle
Being and Time - Martin Heidegger
I'm on my third read through of Aristotle's Metaphysics and only a 1/3rd the way through Being and Time - both I've been working on for about a year. Can't say I'm "actively" reading them right now but they're in the background.
Heidegger said you gotta read Aristotle for 10-15 years before you touch Nietzsche's works, and Plato said you have to be a grown man (at least 30 years old, with a wife, children, and a house of your own) and have studied geometry and mathematics before you start learning philosophy, so you should be ready for reading Heidegger's Being and Time at the age of 45 or slightly afterwards (depending on how long it takes you to read Nietzsche, Dilthey, and Husserl in preparation for Heidegger).
finishing up temple of the golden pavilion, have Ulysses in the background and gonna return to the 2nd half of gravity's rainbow after i finish this mishima. lol, i bought all the tryhard books. but ulysses is genuinely worth it
