yes, it's the shortest of his work and it's the most basic of his work; many ideas and themes that he fleshes out a lot in later works can be traced back to Notes from Underground. You'll also find out if his literary style is for you or not.

What are the best books on Zoroastrianism and Sikhism?
I feel like i can find very little on these religions, and most major books on religion tend to pay very little attention to these religions in favor of the major abrahamic ones.

Bear arms are dangerous

Let me know if you find anything, because holy shit do i need it as well.

Have there been any works that offer criticism of Buddhism (the actual philosophy, not watered down or westernized versions)? In particular on whether it's life-denying and overly negative. I heard Nietzsche delved into it, but i do not know which works and whether he truly criticized it. I also know Schopenhauer based his extreme pessimism somewhat in Buddhism, while Nietzsche wanted to be life-affirming.
Pic unrelated, i dont have any buddhist pics.

why would a bear want to write poetry?

Who are your favorite underrated writers/thinkers who are either rarely discussed here or just dont get much attention in mainstream academics?
Mine is probably Jacques Ellul, and in particular The Technological Society. It's gotten a bit of a bad rep IRL because Uncle Ted loved it.

How the fuck can i ever learn to live with this

Are we seeing a return to romanticism of nature?

What is the one book that influenced you more than any other? It can be for any reason, good or bad. It can be political or spiritual, but doesn't have to be.

Hard mode: not the bible

And what if a bear were to talk? Could we understand it?
