Dungeons&Dragons, unironically. It's a hub to so many things, i owe it my knowkedge of the world moreso than school.

In Watermelon Sugar by Richard Brautigan. I just like living in that world for a bit, I've developed a kind of meditative experience around it and it can be knocked out in twenty minutes or so.

>>16431896
meditations and enchirídion are also pretty comfy "daily wisdom" picks, although I prefer something a little bolder

Lolita since it has such beautiful descriptions of the imagery of everything that is nice and polite

Imitation of the Christ

Old and new testaments imitates greeks all the time.

Infinite Jest. I've read it 7 times this year so far, last year I read it nine times. David Foster Wallace is seriously a genius, I don't think I've ever read a book as original and timeless as Infinite Jest. I'm starting university next year and I hope I get to discuss it with my English professors, I'm sure they all have a deeply ingrained love and appreciation for one of the most original and compelling voices of the last 30 years. Maybe they'll even give me the encouragement I need to finally read another of his books.

I've probably read Evola's "Ride the Tiger" and "Introduction to Magic" over a dozen times each.

where do I start with this guy? and no I'm not gonna read everything on the meme chart

Don't worry, I haven't read everything on the meme chart either - but I will, as will you, if all goes well.
If you haven't read any of the Traditionalists, Evola's terminology, style and writing will be extremely challenging, so my recommendation is to familiarise yourself with his essays first, then skim his books according to what you find interesting. Once shit like "solar spirituality" starts to make sense to you - even if you misunderstand it - you are ready to tackle Evola's work more systematically. My personal recommendation is to then begin with "Ride the Tiger", since it was literally written as a guide to the postwar world according to his worldview and deals with the main topic and many related concepts of his life's work. If you like Eastern spirituality you can also read "The Doctrine of Awakening" and "The Yoga of Power". "Men Among the Ruins" is a more general overview of the world through the Traditionalist lens, so if you want more details on that, you can also look there. If you're into enlightened schizoposting, you can take a look at "Introduction to Magic" once you've got a solid grasp of Evola's worldview - personally, I find its ideas correct.

my diary

>>16433315
Depends on what you want, he wrote on many different topics. Some entry points:
Revolt is his magnum opus but is not easy reading unless you're already somewhat familiar with traditionalism.
Metaphysics of War is one of my favourites, not too hard and interesting subject matter.
Handbook for Right Wing Youth is a decent collection of essays but focuses mostly on political/cultural issues.
The Bow and the Club is a good collection of essays that span most of the topics he wrote about but some might be hard to get into.
Meditations on the Peaks is about mountain climbing and is surprisingly comfy.
Don't start with Ride the Tiger.

Walden
>“But, wherever a man goes, men will pursue and paw him with their dirty institutions, and, if they can, constrain him to belong to their desperate odd-fellow society. It is true, I might have resisted forcibly with more or less effect, might have run 'amok' against society; but I preferred that society should run 'amok' against me, it being the desperate party.”
in the name if the cringe, the kek, and the holy based, amen.

I still get goosebumps eveytime I read this book. Absolute infinite deepness from Buddha.
