1984 is p boring compared to Animal Farm imo You should be reading philosophy
Jeremiah Wilson
I love Alan Watts, he's the first philosopher I started listening to. Still one of my faves.
Ian Hughes
Reading hyperion by dan simmons currently cause i like sci-fi stuff. Also, never try to read don quijote, its always regarded as a top book here in 4chins but if any of you have tried to read it you would realize how much it sucks. Even worse in old-spanish, dont know how are the english traductions
Carson Kelly
which translation? Constance Garnett is the best imo.
Ayden Williams
>Eckhart Tolle Stop it
Aaron Hall
7 habits of highly effective people is pretty based, the title is clickbait but the content is extremely good
Bentley Perez
Fuck all that useless garbage and read Nietzsche, after that move onto guenon and then Evola.
Samuel Morales
>Eckhart Tolle Boy I sure hope you're a 40 years old mom who does yoga
Joseph Watson
lmao @ all brainlets here. read infinite jest, its the only book you need. you might as well quit reading after it because its truly the pinnacle of literature. retards
Henry Hall
Anyone who has past issues dealing with women: read this book.
If a fat alcoholic 50 year old can bed tons of young women and not give a fuck, you can too. I'm not advocating following his footsteps exactly, but you can apply some of his dgaf attitude
Plus its fun to read. You dont always gotta read smartypants shit
Charles bukowski was full of shit. Any "beautiful" woman he banged was after he got that cult of beatnik pussy around him. You should imagine any woman he describes fucking before that point as being of the type a broken down ugly alchoholic would attract.

I like reading Industrial Society and It's Future by Ted Kaczynski between sets.
I guess if you feel that philosophy enriches your life in some way, go for it. I see zero value in emulating what some long dead person thinks.
Connor Wood
False. Philosophy underlies everything else and until you digest Nietzsche you're a soullet
Connor Bennett
This wholeheartedly Nietzsche is self improvement for grown-ups
Robert Nguyen
someone please sauce me on the op pic girl

Samuel Rivera
Ah yes, the experiences and insights a person has made are worthless after their death. At last I truly see
Jason King
Nietzshe would be a modern day Jow Forums poster lol. Most philosophers would actually. Buncha fuckin' dorks.
Brody Reyes
gotteeeeeem
Daniel Cooper
Nietzsche is literally all about how not to be Jow Forums like the rest of philosophy.
Schopenhauer is Jow Forums brainlet
Isaiah Ortiz
>I see zero value in emulating what some long dead person thinks. That's definitely the most arrogant and pretentious thing I've read in months.
David Collins
People are only dead when they are referred to for the last time
Camden Davis
I don't know, man. Every time I read up on the philosophers that are popular on Jow Forums, they seem like cringey edgelords which I suppose is why they're popular with Jow Forums.
Brayden Hughes
>everytime i read brief descriptions of these philosophers they seem dum!!!1 Keep being an ignorant fuck, that's a great way to live life. At least read their shit and try to understand what they're saying before posting your baseless opinions on here.
Hunter Butler
Just saying I get a very Jow Forums supreme gentleman vibe from reading about most of these guys. Turns me off from wanting to explore their work further.
James Brown
>Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle Read this a long time ago and it was surprisingly decent.
Brandon Allen
>Bruh I read the Deleuze wiki page that makes me qualified to summarize his thoughts Ok
Jose Thompson
so be it
Wyatt Walker
If I'm wrong, I'm wrong but I have a hunch that the philosophers that are most popular on Jow Forums tend to have a general redpilled, MGTOW air about them.
come back to me when you've read all of jung, evola, heidegger and spengler
Michael Gutierrez
Alright, you are entitled to your biases. Nothing I say will convince you otherwise. However, know that you are wrong.
Jace White
>i want a philosopher who makes me FEEEEL GOOD
Logan Nelson
I want a philosopher that wouldn't be a cringelord Jow Forums poster if he were alive today. Where are the 6' plus Chad philosophers at?
Nicholas Edwards
still Nietzsche and no one's even close
Parker Ramirez
Literally Plato He was a wrestling champ an' shit Also Aquinas was a tall Chad
Isaac Scott
He diagnosed today's society, perfectly accurately, 20-odd years ago.
He was objectively right in his manifesto.
Lincoln Phillips
>Tommy Aquinas lifetime virgin. father didn't want him to be a monk. literally hired a whore to tempt him and Tommy said "begone, thot." Which makes him the Chad Virgin I suppose.
Hunter Foster
You actually make me want to read it.
Bentley Gutierrez
300 some pages into "For whom the bell tolls" and I realized I needed a break so in the meantime i've read a nostalgic fiction book, "Storm of Steel" (again) and I'm currently reading "Catch-22." I have a few others I want to read but for sure will finish Hemingway after this.
Justin Foster
>For whom the bell tolls Good but The Sun Also Rises is perfect
Brandon Ross
heidegger evola and carl jung were some of the biggest chads who ever lived.
Evola was such a chad he climbed mountains and served in world war 1 and then in WW2 he was just walking around contemplating life and shit while artillery strikes were going on which ended up striking him and he became crippled.
James Johnson
He makes some good points but Kacynski was mostly just advocating stereotypical hippie stuff desu.
I feel "overrated" perfectly fits it, it's not even that I disliked the book so much, it's just that it wasn't worth the hype. As well as many other books in the Russian literature curriculum, really, but Dostoyevsky seems to be the most hyped in the West. I mean, JBP constantly babbling about what a great book it is, Sasha Grey posting photos of it. Everyone has heard of it. It is considered to be something deep.
But what is it, really? I didn't find it revealing in any way. It doesn't really teach anything, because let's be honest, all that conventional stuff about how intrinsically precious human life is and how it is necessary to have some internal limits is bullshit and bluepilled in the most literal sense of the word. If anything, this is that fake image of the world you must to get rid of in order to survive in a harsh environment where you have to compete with actually redpilled people, who see it's bullshit and can act accordingly. So if you propose this as the essence of the book, let's just say it's highly opinionated. And what else is it? Clever, fun to read? More like depressing in a way monologues of a depressed person are depressing. I don't see how exactly is it worth the time spent. So, yeah, overrated.
Justin Parker
>for whom the bell tolls >A Farewell to Arms >The Sun Also Rises These are the three I want to read from him before moving onto someone else really
Jack Mitchell
Wanna smash. On an unrelated note, this pic is hotter than what most girls look like naked. What a time to be alive.
Charles Jenkins
Nietzsche said Dostoyevsky was the last guy to teach him anything
Jackson Brooks
Julius Evola was such a chad he's the only person I know who criticized fascism FROM THE RIGHT.
anyway il stop sperging out now. if ya want watch that lecture and then decide if ya want to read their shit, its worth it.
Daniel Taylor
This looks just like the chick I fucked at my friend's wedding. She was really hot. Thanks for triggering me OP. Now I have to think about how hot the sex was with this bitch all night with no release, because I'm on nofap. Bait pics like this should be illegal.
Kek. Evola basically sounds like Jow Forums incarnate. Pretty based.
Isaac Clark
This, but strictly for fiction. Nonfiction is god-tier.
Adrian Myers
I'd disagree - hippy mentality is very much just "letting things be", whereas Kaczynski advocated a total return of existential freedom to the point of violent revolution against the system. They seem pretty incompatible, although it admittedly depends on what the agreed hippy definition is.
Brayden Bell
Nietzsche is overrated as well, but for entirely other reasons. What he tells are things that did seem like a common sense when you were 14, but the bluepilled people society cringed at you because you are too young and don't know life, but Nietzsche is 70 and writes these common-sense-sort-of-things in an unnecessary convoluted and metaphorical manner, so to be considered something clever by the bluepilled people society without even really understanding what it's about. Worthless fad.
Joseph Cruz
Nietzsche stopped writing in his 40s, died in his 50s, and had insights about psychology and the intellectual life no one's even caught up to yet. I love it when brainlets shit on Nietzsche, they give themselves away 100% of the time, you don't know anything dude
Thomas Phillips
Thanks for the read user.
Ryder Long
Is charles bukowski /fitlit/? His brand of "stoic" cynicism gives me strength in a weird way.
“I've never been lonely. I've been in a room -- I've felt suicidal. I've been depressed. I've felt awful -- awful beyond all -- but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me...or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I've never been bothered with because I've always had this terrible itch for solitude. It's being at a party, or at a stadium full of people cheering for something, that I might feel loneliness. I'll quote Ibsen, "The strongest men are the most alone." I've never thought, "Well, some beautiful blonde will come in here and give me a fuck-job, rub my balls, and I'll feel good." No, that won't help. You know the typical crowd, "Wow, it's Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there?" Well, yeah. Because there's nothing out there. It's stupidity. Stupid people mingling with stupid people. Let them stupidify themselves. I've never been bothered with the need to rush out into the night. I hid in bars, because I didn't want to hide in factories. That's all. Sorry for all the millions, but I've never been lonely. I like myself. I'm the best form of entertainment I have. Let's drink more wine!”
Dude was a huge drunk but his writing is enjoyable.
Hudson Reyes
I haven’t a read a book for my own personal enjoyment in years (not including school books), can someone recommend a couple books that can help me get started and enjoy reading again?
Storm of Steel, A Prayer for Owen Meany, Homer's Odyssey. These are good story books, I like these despite mostly enjoying non-fiction (history and philosophy stuff)
you are literally a brainlet caricature. Greeks and Romans are essential to understand Nietzsche. Evola is fascinating but hyped way too much on this board. Guenon needs some proper islamic reading and understanding to 'get' as well.
You can't just jump into literature like that, there is nothing wrong with reading more approachable work instead.
William Lewis
I'm reading Burning Bright in the Shadowrun universe and just finished Fade To Black. Pretty happy with the ending and all the just deserts Rico gets for his 'muh honor' sthick.
Connor Harris
Read a book about Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt that was pretty good
Tyler Wood

Elijah Rogers
friendly reminder that the only philosophic work you need to read is Plato, after that just go outside
>shooting the nose off of statues thousands of years old
French are worse than nogs
Jose Morris
I never liked him at all, he's like an edgy and disaffected high-schooler in a grown man's body. Everything he's written boils down to "dude society's weird and shit maaaaan, why am I so much smarter than everyone else". Letting that kind of thought define you instead of looking for some kind of meaning in the gloom is the mark of a brainlet.
