Dude you mean how whenever someone asks me how many I’ve read and i reply that I’ve read 7, working on an 8th, and that 8th is phantom tollbooth which I hope to have completed by 2024–which is the only statement i make about how much I’ve read—you think that is serious? You, uh, can’t tell what sarcasm is?

Seriously man it’s this utterly low-level retardation that makes you such a pleb. Nothing to do with money, nothing to do with how many books one owns, everything to do with the fact that this type of poster >>16491523 uses the word “insufferable” because it’s the largest word he’s encountered all year and can’t figure out a better synonym.

Y’all are truly a joke.

Heart of darkness.
Nietzsche’s works. Heidegger’s critique of Nietzsche—especially in terms of the Cartesian will-to-mastery. “Our eyes have yet to open...”
Some of the histories of the reformation, like parts of R. H. Tawney—that overall feel of leather and metal and blood, of a bible in one hand and a sword in the other, of overcast skies and gnarled heaths and fields of red poppies
Norse mythology
Nightwood
Even some of the more haunting aspects of someone like Eliot’s modernist poetry.
Thomas Mann’s Faustus.
Goethe’s Faust.

There is honestly as lot there. The developers of the game are uniquely educated people.
