He realized that his writings were unfalsifiable, opinionated rantings devoid of inherent truth - therefore, not philosophy.

This is worse than those pill threads on /x/, you can't just decide to be a certain type of person and then become that from reading a few books. I don't think girls like massive tryhards either, OP.

Let me ask you libertard plebs something: how many of you are actually economists, or hold economics degrees? You can't just copy+paste Mises' sophistry and act like it gives you some kind of high ground.

Orwell must have loved Stalinism. Without him, what could he write obvious metaphors about?

I'm starting with le Greeks and just finished the major works of Plato. I plan to read Aristotle and Plotinus, skip to the Enlightenment and go onward from there. Maybe do a little Renaissance and less important Greek philosophy in between, but I'm not really sure. Any recommendations?

Based on enjoyment I'd say A Clockwork Orange, but only because I find it so hilarious so I'm not counting it. If we're going for my favorite book in terms of prose or literary merit, it would have to be Siddhartha. Steppenwolf might be better in some aspects but I found it a tad dragging at times, and the ending was bad.
