Liber Abaci. Fibonnaci.
Not bad. Pretty interesting. He’s on major and minor currency right now. I find it more historically informative than mathematically challenging.

Peep show is Yea Forums

Also Blood Meridian. Kill me.

It's really good
I read this when I was young and a bit more idealistic. Brain dumped everything from him except the whole idea of negative interest in Sacred Economics.
What's his theology in a nutshell? He seems similar to the wack-job De Chardin. Am I wrong?
Reading "Inventing Human Rights" by Lynn Hunt. The hour-long lecture on YouTube is all you need; this book is *very* basic.
really enjoying It so far
Les Miserables and Boccaccio's Life of Dante
Very comfy
I saw those two perform the play in DC. They were great.
>What's his theology in a nutshell?
not the guy who posted that, but from what I've read of Merton he's an ecumenical universalist 'Catholic'
The Charterhouse of Parma
Based, one of my favourite lines
A Canticle for Leibowitz
too many to count :( should i really just pick one book and hunker down on it lads will that help with finishing them? what if im not particularly interested in that one at the moment?
i am a cat
pretty funny, but as usually is the case with translated japanese the prose feels weird and clunky
Halfway through Plato's Complete Works. Never expected it to be so comfy.
Greetings from Outer Space by Shinichi Hoshi.

About to finish no longer human, nearly cried when they put him in the hospital and that this nigger is only 27 and that much of a wreck.Gonna finish the epilouge at lunch today. Thanks for memeing me into this book Yea Forums
/pol/
read half of it, pretty good 2bh. i wouldn't call it normie shit.
the alien & time theme reminds me a lot of Arrival (movie)
I hate seth rogen
The Crossing by McCarthy, 50 pages in and enjoying it.
I just finished reading Decision at Doona. Wasn’t that great. I need a new book now
I'm digesting the Landpill as we speak; reading Fanged Noumena, and then suffered an eye injury, so I'm taking a break until my vision stabilizes. I'm about 200 pages in, and realizing I have a lot of follow reading to do after this. I'm no philosophy major, but I find the style of rhetoric; basically diatribes spliced with schizo free-writing, very inspiring. I'm looking for material written in this style, but maybe not so academically driven. I'm not quite there, yet.
that japanese book about having a retard son you want to kill so you can go to africa
kys
"Teuz ann abati", published in "Feiz ha Breiz".
Green Hills of Africa
not a big fan of Hemingway but he has his moments I guess
Sun and Steel, Yukio Mishima
Wait, the one by Oe? Rise Up or something
Runaway Horses by Mishima. It's been an incredibly sad and mournful book so far and I can't wait to get to Temple and Decay.
Just finished this today. Did not disappoint.
a personal matter by oe
The Trail
About half way through.
I didn’t like it at first. Too episodic and too big a cast of characters but post revolution the focus narrows to the main characters.
Percy Jackson
breddy good
Recently finished the First Law and waiting on the standalones to come in.
In the meantime reading PKD's Martian Time-Slip. My next 12/13 books are planned out beyond that.
>Martian Time-Slip
How is it? I wanted to start getting into some of his more obscure works, although I'm not sure MTS counts as 'obscure'. I've got Dr. Bloodmoney on the way.
Read this in two days while driving 300 miles a day. Tasty, but too much garnish. You are obviously a very introspective man, David, to ask yourself so many rhetorical questions.
About a third in so it's hard to say. Somewhat gloomy with morose characters but it seems like it'll build up similar to his The Penultimate Truth.
>Somewhat gloomy with morose characters
I wouldn't expect anything less. That seems to be a theme is most of his works. Although, Tim Archer ended up becoming one of my all time favorite characters.
confessions of zeno. some sections are a great character study yet most of the plot is pretty unengaging. the story is just a vessel for our character instead of a journey of sorts
its not bad
very cool cover there
Yellow Back Radio Broke Down by Ishmael Reed
the left hand of darkness
A History of Eternity
What are you reading by Hamsun? Some of the translations of his greatest works are awful.
brothers karamazov
No Longer Human is one of the many reasons I want to learn nip, I could tell the book was great and I still overall liked it but the Translationese was woefully apparent
overall did you enjoy it?
About to finish The Housekeeper + The Professor, thought it would be way darker and uncomfortable based on other Yoko Ogawa books but turns out it's a nice wholesome book. Probably going to read The Outsider next
The Iliad. Just got to book 14 and loving it. Also reading an overview/introduction to classical literature.
Beautiful and damned. Pretty great, can’t imagine being married to Gloria, gives me a giggle that Fitzgerald based her on his wife. Dude had interesting taste.
Hello Casey
Melmoth the Wanderer
In Search of the Miraculous
That book is great and probably made me feel more intense emotions than any other work of fiction I've read
The ride just gets wilder from there on, have fun
This. Sorry Yea Forums, I am late.

Does it matter which edition of Storm of Steel I read?
Two-thirds in and it's getting weird.
>Gubble, gubble
I'm in the 5th chapter of the second book now.
Pretty good so far
Above the Clouds by Takie Sugiyama Lebra. Fuckin dry as hell formatting wise, it's essentially a long ass essay filled with citations, but I'm interested in the topic and the writing is good.

John Williams - Augustus

this
I wonder why my I am Legend thread was deleted, I just wanted to discuss the book
Crime novels are like my literary comfort food. Something I read in-between more serious works which works as a palate cleanser of sorts.
