2zen4me
Came to hate but some decent works.
>some recommendations
is retarded though. Tell us a subject for more useful recs.
Also it is very helpful to walk into a used book stores and buy topic related books you did NOT intend to buy prior. That way you get exposed to other opinions and broaden your horizon
Yes I do enjoy hunting through second hand bookshops, but all the ones in my area have either closed or I have cleared them out of interested works
I've not even heard of any of these other than History of Peloponnesian war and Manufacturing consent. How about you get some classics?
I never know what classics to read :\
Here's a few good ones I'll suggest OP, they cover various subjects but all were good reads:
>Kill Anything That Moves- Nick Turse
>Exploding The Phone- Phil Lapsley
>Days of Rage- Bryan Burrough
>Blackhawk Down - Mark Bowden
>The Road- Cormac McCarthy
>The Unarmed Truth - John Dodson
>Dr. Mary's Monkey - Ed Haslam
>Enemies Foreign and Domestic- Mathew Bracken
>The Gun-CJ Chivers
What percentage of it have you read so far?
he's doing a good thing for others? wtf? freely given books are the epitome of human progress?
Where the fuck are your philosophy books?
more economics
>flag
Ride the Tiger by Evola
Icarus Fallen by Delsol
No Place to Hide by Greenwald
Livy
Gibbon Decline and Fall
Aristotle Athenian Constitution
Machiavelli Florentine Histories
Churchill Malborough
Xenophon Memorabilia
>dadcore
All of them.
dunno
such as?
If you want philosophy, then Aristotle and the stoics (I might be biased as a stoic myself, but I think they're good books in general)
If you want classical literature, there's literally heaps of it: Dostoyevsky, Hesse, Goethe, Sholohov, Mann all have amazing timeless books.
Another field that interests me is Absudism. Books such as The Stranger or The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus or The Trial by Franz Kafka are great.
You can check sticky, they have great recommendations for every taste.
>The Road- Cormac McCarthy
this is good by him
I can tell most of your books suck just by looking at the spines.
Extremely cucked and bluepilled.
Rational Male by Rollo Tomasi
Jesus fucking Christ, that is the reading list of a pathetic sack of shit that huffs his own farts. You're probably too stupid to understand half of them without a college class, and the other half most of them lose their charm because of translation.
this is a nonfiction shelf and that is fiction and I already read it
what does that even mean
are you 13?
Im not my sons father by ariel goldbergstein

The hidden Jow Forums discord is NND8DfE we have over 5000 members and are growing.
It has to stay hidden or (((discord))) will shut it down. As far as discord knows its a Minecraft discord.
Culture of Critique
Suicide of a Superpower
Siege (joking)
On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and The Heroic in History
Thus spake zarathustra or beyond good and evil
The enchirideon
Meditiations by Marcus Aurelius
Looking at your actual collection: have you heard of the podcast Myth of the 20th century? While the podcast is great, my point is that their research material would be facinating reads for you as they like hidden histories and power
This one should be up your alley:
An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States
Book by Charles A. Beard
Dunno, he might be a Hare Krishna who grows magic mushrooms in an abandoned missile silo.
You're working on a single piece of information.
I like books too, but they aren't actually necessary to a complete human experience.
If you enjoyed Thucydides and Herodotus, I recommend:
>Polybius' history of the Punic Wars
>Appian's book on the Roman Civil war
>Livius' history of Rome
>Saint Augustine's City of God
>Plutarch's book, the Parallel Lives

Not him, but I binged on Myth of the 20th century last few weeks after I stumbled across them, they are really good, The Prison episode and the Ted Kaczynski episode are just two of my favorites, those guys are great.
The Iliad, or Plato works.
Cucked and bluepilled. Your mother has doggy style sex with greasy ass farmers
Keeping the dummies ignorant is a lost cause at this point otherwise I'd have to disagree with you. Either knowledge is closely guarded by people who can use it or great effort needs to go into making it available and ensuring it's actually absorbed. Middle ground is where we are now and people know enough to be confident but not enough to actually deserve that confidence
These are all NPC quest reward loot. Sure you're not an NPC?
The Jew of Malta by Christopher Marlow, murdered by Jews.
>Culture of Critique
>According to Shulevitz, MacDonald's arguments are prescriptive: "Toward the end of the third book, MacDonald lays out his solution for restoring what he calls 'parity' between the Jews and other ethnic groups: systematic discrimination against Jews in college admission and employment and heavy taxation of Jews 'to counter the Jewish advantage in the possession of wealth'"
>Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center has said "he put the anti-Semitism under the guise of scholarly work... Kevin MacDonald’s work is nothing but gussied-up anti-Semitism. At base it says that Jews are out to get us through their agenda... His work is bandied about by just about every neo-Nazi group in America."
>David Lieberman, a Holocaust researcher at Brandeis University, has published a paper alleging that MacDonald has distorted evidence and chosen evidence selectively for rhetorical purposes.[20]
>John Tooby, past president of the Human Behavior and Evolution Society and a professor of anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, insists that MacDonald is not an evolutionary psychologist, and that he advocates a generally discredited view of natural selection. Tooby, the founder of MacDonald's field of evolutionary psychology, criticized MacDonald in an article for Salon.com in 2000: "MacDonald's ideas—not just on Jews—violate fundamental principles of the field"
>Harvard University psychology professor Steven Pinker maintained that he has not read MacDonald's books because his theses were unable to pass the threshold of attention-worthiness:
>1. By stating that Jews promulgate scientific hypotheses because they are Jewish, he is engaging in ad hominem argumentation that is outside the bounds of normal scientific discourse and an obvious waste of time to engage. MacDonald has already announced that I will reject his ideas because I am Jewish, so what's the point of replying to them?
Why would you suggest this?
N-NAME!?!
What is it about?
thank you for classical suggestions
Peterson is a Koch shill.
Rebel Media was where he first came to prominent attention - its founder Ezra Levant worked at the Fraser Institute and the Charles G. Koch Foundation
He often recommends Koch linked groups
I have heard a claim that many of his paper co-authors are Koch linked as well. Waiting for the fella who said this make a proper write up.
The Iliad as a work of epic poetry is fiction and not in my nonfiction section
In English?
What?
The columbine episode sticks out as one of my favorites, as I grew up around then.
While I was uninterested in the massacre, I picked up a lot of bullshit, as I knew nothing about it. Pinochet and Nixon were depressing but also good. Very crazy how it was a fucked up bomb attack.
shut the fuck up nigger
found the jew
cringe and bluepilled
wow a dyed up thot but with a ugly gooky face
>memeflag
>(((shulevitz)))
Damn, you guys really work hard to discourage people from reading this
I'll add:
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
The Bell Curve
Science and the Modern World
Meditations of Marcus Aurelius
Libido Dominandi
Read some more classics, before you start tackling contemporary filler books.
Like where is Hobbes, Locke, Marx?
Its fiction but unironically one of the best novels of modern times
By way of deception - Victor Ostrovsky tells about being in Mossad
Death of the Liberal Class - Chris Hedges predicts the current breakdown in American politics.
The Management of Barbarism - this is the book written by ISIS about their geopolitical strategy
Philosophy. Can recommend Epikur, even though he's not written much, but his philosophy makes you overthink your life and the daily choices you have to make. if you're interested in history i can recommend many works from ancient greece and rome: The Historiae from Herodot, the greek comedies give you a funny (but critical nonetheless) view on the greek society, the works of Plinius if you're interested in Nature History, the works of Pausanias who was a travelling author describing ancient towns, monuments and temples, the works of Plutarch who wrote biographies on famous persons, the works of Cicero for a most detailed view of the roman society before the relublic collapsed, Caesar's De Bello Gallico and De Bello civili, Augustus' Res Gestae. There's loads and loads of other authors and works. What's also nice to read (if you cunts learned latin in school) are the roman poets: sallust has written funny poems, ovid's ars amatoria. Other works about mythology are Theogony from Hesiod and the Metamorphoses from Ovid.
google 'start with the greeks' and 'remain with the romans' theres a pretty comprehensive list of classics on both of those jpegs
I managed to finish the road in 1 sitting because it was so immersive
I also bought blood meridian but haven't started it yet. Is it on par with the road?
*resume with the romans
Not enough Buchanan

Not bad at all, OP. Try some Antony C. Sutton, Jacques Ellul, and E. Michael Jones to round it out.
Whatever you say, Shlomo. How's the weather in Tel Aviv?
Second your recommendation for Beard.
nothing shows the absolute brainletness of poltards than a book thread. I enjoy these threads.
most of that bullshit I would get at the library, why would you read most of that a second time?
My favorites are CIA Wilderness of Mirrors, Leo Frank Case, Franklin Cover Up, and anything with guest James LaFond.
it's way better than the road
Tell us your recommendations, then. Prove how smart you are.

wow complete garbage tier books
i recommend you burn all of them and start from scratch
There are some good books here; some I haven't read but believe are decent; some I know nothing about.
If this is the entirety of your "non-fiction" collection then it's very narrow as it's almost all political. There's a lot to the world besides politics.
Do you just want recommendations for politics books, or for all non-fiction, or for all books?
A few random non-fiction suggestions:
>Culture of Critique, Macdonald
Yeah it's a meme but you should read it
>The Bell Curve, Murray & Hernstein
As above
>The Death of the West, Buchanan
Demography is destiny
>Essays, Montaigne
>Essays, Francis Bacon
Interesting thoughts on life by intelligent men; bite-sized chunks so easy to read e.g. one essay in an evening
>Works, Nietzsche
Tricky to recommend specifics. Zarathustra is the summation of his philosophy but it doesn't try to persuade. It's more like a song or poem; it assumes you're already on his side. The Genealogy of Morals might be a starting-point.
>Albion's Seed, Fischer
Thesis: four distinct racial groups populated the USA, creating four very different countries.
>The Civil War: A Narrative, Foote
Gotta understand the Civil War to understand America.
>Hour Of Decision, Spengler
Short & readable. A big advantage over Death of the West, haha
>Unfinished Victory, Bryant
Very interesting and overlooked little book, written at the start of WW2 by a respected English Historian. He just points out how badly Germany was treated post-WW1 and shows how WW2 was made inevitable. He also predicts that the winners of WW2 are going to demonize the losers (good guess) so he feels it's important to get the facts down.
>Public Opinion, Lippman
People are sheep. Read it with a grain of salt, but still, it brings a lot into focus.
Siege by James Mason
The Turner Diaries by DR. William Pierce
Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler
Books on hbd and iq
Second your rec on Albion's Seed. It's a classic.
Hadn't heard of Bryant's book on WW2. I'll check it out.
It's like you skipped all of the required reading and only went for the supplemental list. This has to be a troll image. Especially the greeks/romans at the top. Only Aurelius needs to be up there.
One River by Wade Davis
Latin America’s Cold War by Hal Brands
The Faithful Executioner by Joel F. Harrington
go back on feggit
Do yourself a favor, burn your bookcase and then hang yourself.
Minimal amount of Greek stuff is good, the rest is shite.
>not owning the most redpilled book, Good Sex Illustrated
How's manufacturing consent? I know Chomsky's an anarchist jew, but I'm curious about this book.
Is that all? Really?

However,I will leave you some names in a genre which is my specialty.

read Homage to Catalonia, you will love it.
Pretty much anything by Orwell is well worth reading.
If you’re reading any non-fiction book written after 1950 you’re wasting your time
I'm well on my way to getting through all his non-fiction. Will skip the fiction, it's basically his essays in stay-at-home-mom form.
That's going a bit far, although if you want to take just one thing from Moldbug, "Read Old Books" is pretty good value for three words.
I already recommended Culture of Critique, Albion's Seed, Dead of the West, Albion's seed - all pretty recent.
Could add many more, e.g.
>The Selfish Gene (Dawkins)
He was actually good before he turned SJW
>Antifragile, Taleb
Rambling and meme-y but still worth a look
>Thinking Fast & Slow, Kahneman
A quick, easy read with a few decent ideas.
>Life at the Bottom, Dalrymple
Anyone who thinks that throwing away traditional sexual morality hasn't caused any suffering in society should read this book.
kek. did you go to BC
>did you go to BC
What
my super catholic history teacher had that book as one of the books we could write a 10 page paper on for the semester.
didn't think many other people had read it
I gotcha.
No, I read that tome years ago. Still a great reference and eye-opener.
We're the first secular, godless State in recorded human history and no one seems to know how we got to the place we are now.
The only book I own is A Clockwork Orange (if you exclude cookbooks that is, t. /ck/)
