All these top 100 books and start with the Greeks then read a hundred other philosophy books to get to any contemporary literature. I get that 90% is just larp and most people haven't even opened a book in the last 5 years but to the remaining 10: How do you read so many damn books?
What's your daily routine and responsibilities?
Social life?
Is literature/phil your main hobby, and what motivates you?
Are you all just pensioners who have nothing better to do?

I'm in my early twenties just about to graduate undergraduate. With work, studies and social life/relationship, it seems hard to make time for reading, and sometimes I just can't gather the motivation to focus (especially with some fucking old Greeks I have heard through modern media.) The result is that a lot of my free time is used watching youtube or shows, and my motivated time is spent on more job-studies-oriented things.

What's the most honest piece of literature you've ever read?
no politics, no pretentious bullshit, no someone trying to lecture about life or how the world works or how things should be or anything like that, just an honest and simple yet powerful confession that feels like an ultimate, undeniable truth

You ever read a book that felt like a call to action and it inspired you to better yourself? What was one of those books for you? I know you'll all hate me for it but for myself it was Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead. They really got me interested in philosophy and economics. I have mixed feelings in the books as they're not perfect and Rand is a bit cooky but I enjoyed them overall and it was a net positive as it pushes me to read Aristotle, Kant, the Stoics, etc.

Anyways would love to find something that helps inspire that call to action and feel that fire burn again. Help a nigger out fellow anon?
