This desu. I go to bed around 10:30, so if I start reading at 9:30 I'm not exactly struggling to keep my eyes open. There's been a bunch of studies that show reading before bed helps you sleep, and blue light (computer screens/phones) makes it harder (inb4 f.lux).

In short, it guarantees an hour of reading a day, prepares me for bed and helps to keep a consistent sleep schedule.

He doesn't seem like a LARPer to me. His prose is a bit purple and edgy, but pretty much everything on the internet in 2007 was quite edgy desu. He comes off as a very amiable and level-headed guy in interviews and (dare I say it) his reddit AMA.

This. It's not saying very much, but this is probably the Internet's premier highbrow discussion board.

Edinburgh
History
Just finished War and Peace, getting some pretty severe post-novel depression desu senpai.

I also prefer Social Matter to Thermidor - SM seems more NRx while Thermidor is more Duginist.

I'd recommend Standpoint magazine for its long essays.

The Spectator is alright but it can often seem quite undergraduate, smart-alecy and slapdash (eg, much of their commentary on Brexit)

Best books on zen Buddhism?
