Can we get an essential reading thread? I'm new to this whole scene and I understand maybe 10% of the stuff I read around here.
The sticky covers the super basics but what do I read to find out stuff like:
-Nutrition. What the various components of food/drink/supplements actually do to the body and how much of each I should have. There's plenty of stuff on what foods contain but where do I go to find out what those terms actually mean?
-The muscular system. What all the muscles are and what the best behaviours are in general to promote muscle growth. It's pretty easy to find what exercises to do for each particular muscle but what material is a good start for understanding muscular science broadly?
-The lingo in general. Loads of terms around here just fly over my head.
This isn't even literature you coelho-level retarded cunt.

>tfw you realize that trash tier novels and cringey hyper-aggressive wannabes set the standards for a dom so low that knowing how to tie a double column and not being autistic makes you top 10%
My top reading list: Atlas shrugged by ayn rand The fountainhead by ayn rand Plato’s Republic Black Swan by Nassim taleb Thinking fast thinking slow by Daniel kahneman

>nutrition The way you will diet depends on your goals. IMO it's overrated, especially supplements. Eat less carbs/fat, and food overall to lose weight. Eat more to gain. Count calories etc.
>Muscular system If you really want to know, it's pretty easy to look up a diagram of all the superficial muscles, and then look them all up individually on Wikipedia. Hate saying it but that pretty much works and it's super easy. look up terms you don't understand.
>general lingo lol just read more shit dude, you'll get it. sometimes looking it up will work. Or just ask, this is Jow Forums, no one will know who you are and you can literally post in another thread and pretend to be an expert.

Saying the basis of libertarianism is rand is like saying the basis of stoicism is nofappers on fit.
The subtle art of not giving a fuck and any book on game theory and how to apply it in every day life decision making

if you want a good book, you don’t recommend Hemmingway. The guy was an alcoholic who clung to his pseudo machismo because he had nothing else in life.
If you wanna read an actual tough but depressing son of a bitch, go with Jack London or Joseph Conrad. I’d recommend Nostromo or Rassmusin.

I haven't read the Iliad, but I've just finished the Odyssey and I can confirm it is great. Actually pretty riveting action and a great insight into the early days of the ancient Greek civilisation. Plus Odysseus is a role model for me.

Old Man is perfectly entry level for someone who doesn't read much, or at all. It's short and sweet

Is indigo an Americna thing or is it just Barnes and Noble or whatever there? Canads bros go to Indigo and find their 3 for $10 section. Endless classic lit and foundation philosphy for cheap as fuck. Just finished Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, moving on to The Republic and then probably some early Atheist lit or some historical lit next. All good reading, none too long, and its all the shit that a first year university course on the material would likely have you read.

OP here, thanks my dude this is what I was after.
Seems people around here want literature in general so I guess I'll leave a handy guide to the ancient Greeks
