Books

I went through the books I have in a folder and the one that changed the most my life for the best was the washing machine instruction booklet, because I learned how to operate its functions.
Books are either entertainment or advice I couldn't apply.

>Everything I don't agree with is Reddit!
Go be stupid somewhere else.

You unironically have an Ayn Rand book as your favourite.

Go have poor taste elsewhere you colossal brainlet

>>Leftopia by mavv

You aren't even giving me an argument against. You are just name calling. Surprised you haven't pulled the "muh dick" response yet. Or are you waiting to call me a cuck?

I don't respect you enough to "argue" with you redditor. You can close that logical fallacy tab now.

A book that helped me a lot is called

Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends And Influence People

This, holy fuck this. That is a tome of wisdom, read it over and over.

the wind up bird chronicle, intresting book. I have the audio book.

You fucking stupid shit. Fucking hell. You are more "redditor XD" than me you dumb fucking cunt. I hope you choke to death next time you eat you ignorant cunt bag.

ive seen this meme for years. i have the pdf downloaded but never read it, is it actually good?

Excellent taste.
Originally, of course

Welcome to the NHK is a worthwhile read for any NEET or loser that wants to be better.

It's alright.
Not going to turn you into a social butterfly, but with practice, it'll make you less autistic when socializing.

Salman Rushdie, 'The Satanic Verses'. No shit.
A serious examination into the immigrant experience, tied in with the mythology around the rise of Islam. I read the whole of this at 15 (also, no shit).
People who weren't immigrants and/or weren't ever Muslim / lived in a Muslim country won't get it, but for people like me . . .

Read
The 48 laws of power anons

No book has changed me yet, but I enjoyed 1984 alot.
The element of the protagonist pretending to be part of the system while deep inside remaining himself really intrigued me.

1984.

The idea of doublethink fucked me up and turned into a full blown existential crisis over a few months.

That scene where his monkey child is screaming and his zombie dad is just sitting there unresponsive as he desperately talks to it is haunting

Should I read brave New world or 1984 first

King of Torts by John Grisham
Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

Siege by james mason

oregano of course

1984 discusses extreme totalitarianism whereas Brave New World covers eugenics. Whatever's your cup of tea.

marx desu

No book really had a great affect on me, but I would say the closest would be Siddhartha and basically anything by Hermann Hesse

>"Let people who got a headstart in life walk over everyone else and then praise them for being hard workers because they'll surely help everyone else get ahead in life, any day now..."
This is trickle down economics: the book

I think that communism is stupid and all of that stuff, but Marx definitely had a point when he talked about the alienation of the working class and how most of us are reduced to just work, eat and sleep

The Dice Man
I'm going to start living by the dice today.

How does it end? I liked the idea but couldn't bother to finish the book for some reason. I stopped at the part where the dice tells him to leave his wife

He marries his dice

No Longer human and Crime and punishment

I havent been able to read a book or focus on tasks since Primary School

Me either, I can focus only if it is interesting to me at the time, it sucks but when I find a book I connect with I can read it in an hours time.
you may have adhd.

Opened the thread to find/post this

My brother had his first psychotic break after reading 1984 and thinking it was real. He's gotten help since then and he's a lot better now, but he was never the same after that.

Roadside picnic & 1984

don't lose hope unless you can't tolerate both fiction and nonfiction. i have no interest in fiction any more even though i grew up reading a lot of it. now i only care about nonfiction.

I don't know if a specific book has ever changed my life outlook--opinions, sure, but not my sense of purpose or being.

Researching the Naxal movement in India led me to reconsider my college major. I've also quite enjoyed Jhumpa Lahiri's short stories--I think she's much more talented the typical popular author. Her books and collections always remind me how infrequently life works out to be as we expect.

She's got a really impressive resume, too. Would consider her my female role model, no homo.

>tfw no 50-year old Jhumpa gf
