>Any books for fatherless sons?
Don't look for books that you think are made for people like you. It'll just end up reinforcing your cycle of wallowing in self-pity and narrow worldview. You'll end up being a living meme and a coward who gets upset by anything that opposes your shitty worldview. Chances are if you frequent redpill and r9k you're already pretty far down that road but you're 18 so you have plenty of time to change. You could be a well rounded individual by the time you're 21, granted some hard work.

So, where to begin? Start with the Greeks. Not even memeing. Read the Illiad and the Oddysey. They are the ultimate classics that lie at the foundations of western literature. They're easy reads, short and interesting with broad and universal themes in a foreign setting. Try to think about the book/poem as you read it, the history, the culture and the awe surrounding them add to the whole.

If you can't read those then try some Genre fiction and then try again. If you can read them but don't enjoy them or can't understand them then try again. Most good things are acquired tastes so don't let intellectual cowardice stop you from partaking in the arts. This is about being a better person. It's important.

>I also have a porn addiction and no friends.
Porn addiction doesn't matter really, you can come to that later. No friends is an issue but you'll find your connections to people growing as you grow as a person. Every book you read, album you hear or experience you have is a chain linking you to another person. It's pretty straightforward. The more you have in common with people, the easier it is to make friends. Once you've built yourself into more of a man then you need to find a place to socialise. Work, college wherever. Don't sit on your arse.

If you have enough to talk about your awkwardness and social anxiety won't be a problem. I'm shy but find a topic we're both interested in and I can talk for hours. People like awkward and interesting people. Just don't be a creep and don't be too forceful. If this is something you have difficulty with then you just need to practice. Cringe internally at your old self and teach yourself to be pleasant. Don't worry about being quiet, people don't mind that. The biggest problem will be all the people with whom you have nothing in common, but they can turn out to be your fastest friends. Don't scorn people who are different. Listen to them, try to understand them. Learn from their faults and from their strengths. You'll be a bigger man for it. That said, try to avoid politics and religion when talking to strangers.

So from a practical perspective it's simple. Get a job, join a club, go to college. Interact with people. Most people are looking to make new friends too. When people invite you places, say yes. Parties with people you don't know are awkward as fuck, even for me and I'm a normie. Get over it. Nobody is watching you probably. Talk to people. Alcohol helps.
