The Virtue of Nationalism by Yoram Hazony

It's okay. It's restating a lot of stuff, and I didn't agree with his analysis that nationalism is not totalitarianism.

Watchmen, it's ight but haven't picked up yet

Dopefiend by Donald Goines

meh

Scribbling The Cat. Enjoying it so far, four chapters in. Wish there was more literature about Rhodesia

The Grapes of Wrath
it's phenomenal, they only had us read the Pearl and Of Mice and Men in school

Guide for the Perplexed. Yes, it's really interesting.

The Road - Cormac McCarthy

Really adds nicely to my crippling depression. Added bonus while reading it: Construction work started outside my house and it sounds like constant doomy drone music.

Ignatius Catholic Study Bible
It is good. I like the cross references to the CCC.

RSV2CE?

The Death Ship by B. Traven

I just finished (re-)reading dubliners. Yes, it's good. Next I'm gonna read Kawabata's Dandelions.

Within a Budding Grove. The prepubescent romance between Gilberte and the narrator is very cute and I dig the attention to psychological detail, mainly because we'll never be able to obtain a same level of understanding that Proust did because the society he lived in no longer exists for us. That being said the prose while very beautiful sometimes gives me the impression of drowning.

1984, and then I’m going to read Homage to Catalonia next

Yep.

"Las sombras del pájaro tostado," de Ricardo Molinari
es genial

Brave New World for the first time.

It's kind of boring. I mean I get the message, but the writing just drones on.

Dracula. It´s really good so far and I like the way that the story is told by diary entries.

Les chants de maldoror by lautréamont
Very good !

The Loser by Thomas Bernhard
Based, I wanted to read his work a long time ago.

One hundred years of solitude
Based book
I recommend Baudelaire too

gosh no

V. Thomas Pynchon

The Tragic Sense of Life by Unamuno
I'm very engaged because he's addressing some of the issues I have about science and rationality in general. As someone who reads and continues to read a majority in the natural sciences, more specifically the brain sciences, it's hard to develop a model of the world that is free ofa giant void. Yeah it's a 'cope' but he does make points I haven't considered on the nature of subjectivity.

The Bell Jar
Really enjoying so far, much more than I'd imagined I would.

The first issue of Vastarien, it's very mixed, but "The Gods in their Seats, Unblinking" and the essay by the child trauma therapist will haunt me.

>Buddenbrooks-Thomas Mann
Enjoying it so far. The opening was really warm and wholesome, I know I'm going to have trouble keeping up with who's who later on in the novel. I wish there was some sort of family tree in my edition but I am liking it.

The Three Body Problem
yeah it's good. nice existential horror feel.

Gogol's Dead Souls. After the first 30 pages I read last night, I think it seems good.

low IQ department

Jeez the amount of people who read fiction here is cringy.
Why are you on Yea Forums instead of reddit?

It's not his fault he was deprived of oxygen and chosen to be clad in black clothes.

The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

I have about 45 pages left, and it's been extremely fucking bad. Incessant, pseudo-philosophical ramblings (supposedly) about beauty, but it's actually complete fucking nonsensical drivel. It's the first Mishima book I've read, and I truly hope it's also his worst.

Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea is better and has a simpler and easier to grasp philosophical message on the first reading. You should've started with that one.

Tractatus,
It's the last book I'll read in my life

Confederacy of Dunces
Ignatius is literally me

Encheiridion, Epictetus

Impressive because it is exactly how I already think and act. Like I would read a book about my behavior
9/10

Batavia's Graveyard
I'm maybe 3/5's of the way through it according to my ereader.

Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People

I'm certainly enjoying it.

The Square and the Tower. It's essentially a late night wikipedia deep dive. If you're vaguely knowledgeable about the freemasons, Rothschilds and the Vietnam War, you won't gain much from it. Would be very useful for anyone who knows nothing about conspiracy but has a decent understanding of world history.
Pro-Israel propaganda.
1984 was the strawman fallacy, written well. Brave New World figured out what was going on, but is written poorly. Neither of them are particularly enlightening if you've read the Bible.
Incredible book. If you apply the description of Dracula and what his abilities and limitations were to particular groups in the world that cause a lot of grief, you can see why Bram Stoker was able to write such a good villain. One of the few horror books to make me anxious about what was going one.
Tractatus is not very useful except as a thought exercise. It doesn't help you understand the world or show you a way to navigate it. Late Wittgenstein is better.
