What philosophy books will have me thinking on my own and making my own theories? So far I've gone through most of /lit/'s meme philosophers and have hardly found any though provoking philosophies, for the most part they are whole systemizations that have a tight knit(Stirner, Schopenhauer, Land, Marx(zzz)). Either that or they are way too loose and contradict themselves often(Nietzsche). This doesen't make them bad but they don't really help me 'think', I think Foucault and and unironically Guenon got me thinking out the box. Who should I read? Should I just keep reading them too? Fiction? I want to make theories on my own.

More information is not needed, but intent. What excites you? What central theme fires you up around which you can begin to set up the scaffolding of a new synthesis?

With the right intent -- understand that it will change over time -- with the right intent, you will read and study with purpose, and not frivolously read things at the behest of others, but for yourself.

Aristotles' The Logic is good for that. It's about the process of coming to conclusions and how concepts are connected. It's different because it teaches a skill rather than strictly concepts. It is a read though. good lord

I hold my thot pictures very dearly, each one has a different flavor, but I don't even masturbate to them. I just look at them and make up stories about what that person might be like. They are like alien creatures, strange and bizarre, but at the same time human and sympathetic.
What drives a woman to pose like this, or that? How did she end up in this situation? What is she like normally, is she fake or real, what was her childhood like? Masturbating to her would be a violent act, like rape. I can't masturbate to real humans, I can't superimpose my lust on their pains and joys, that would leave a bad taste in my mouth. Sometimes, I sit dawn and draw them based on the pictures.

It's very presumptive of you to believe you'd have anything worth saying.
>Who should I read? Should I just keep reading them too?
If Guénon got you thinking out of the box, then perhaps stick with the traditionalists - although ultimately, if your end goal is to add to the discourse, the traditionalists would dissuade anyone from penning mere synthetic speculations. To say anything of worth - to them - you need direct contact with the perennial tradition. You need to be in communion with God. And to most of them, at least, this necessitated becoming initiated in a traditional stream. Hence why so many of them became Sufi.

I've discussed Watts before. The quality of his work varies enormously.
For example, I would highly recommend 'The Supreme Identity', which was written by whats after being freshly inspired by Guénon and Coomaraswamy, in an effort to reconcile Eastern metaphysic with the religiosity and historicism of what was still, at the time, his Christian faith.
I unwittingly bought "Out of Your Mind", which in the end turned out to be a posthumous collection of transcripts of his lectures - the ones you can find on youtube, for example - which were given to hippies and beatniks with a shit tier understanding of the subject matter. So the explanations and allegories he used therein were both incredibly elementary and foundational, and appealed to the puerile prejudices of that particular crowd. I quickly "lost" that book on someone else's shelf.
