Fourth time reading it; pretty straight forward of a read. Using it mostly for its historical significance now. It's enjoyable even though I disagree with about 80% of Machiavelli's initial philosophy. His ideas about cruelty and how it should administered get me thinking though.

I just finished this steaming pile of shit. It's filled with terrible reasoning and is devoid of any meaning at all, how do people find meaning in such a bad book?

Hi /lit/ I'm from /fit/, /g/, and /sci/. I'm trying to get more into reading while I still have a lot of free time. I have a list of books that honestly interest me and I enjoy reading here is the list:

The Prince, The 48 Laws of Power, Art of War, The 33 Strategies of War, and Art of Seduction.

Are there any more books similar to these that you all would recommend.

And I am debating if I should buy a nook. I do enjoy physical books but I am not able to carry all my books with me and I enjoy reading multiple books at once. Along with suggesting books can I get your opinion on e-books in general.

What if Machaderpy purposely misdirected princes on proper conduct to advance his own position? Clever fox.

But we all know that Machiavelli died poor and penniless, so I guess you could say that he himself, was outfoxed.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAH!

ITT: Books that piss you right the fuck off. For any reason whatsoever.

Mine is The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli (or however you spell his name, I honestly don't care).

Reason: I had to analyze the shit out of it for school. My brain was numb for about a week after finishing the assignment. Also dude on this cover makes me want to punch him he looks so much like a motherfucker.

inb4 Ayn Rand.

where can I obtain an Ebook of The Prince? I looked on generic sites, but I can't seem to find it there.

Was hoping /lit/ knew where to find it.
