>they must know that I know that they're morons
wew lad

if on a winter's night a traveler - italo calvino

it's delightful and a joy to read. breaks the "fourth wall" in a clever and novel way that runs through the book incorporating the reader into the plot.

Kuroageha no Uta by Nakamura Regura. Artwork is good and the plot is wholesome (as far as hentai is concerned). To be honest I want a mommy gf because my real mom sucks. She's nice and well intentioned, but a fucking moron. It's because of Christcucks like her and my Dad that I don't have a foreskin. Kuroageha-san would allow no such thing to happen to her son.

If you study something psychology related, it will help you

>Pliny's Natural History
This is pretty much a Roman encyclopedia, it's an extremely long series of books listing all of contemporary Roman knowledge by the polymath Pliny the Elder. Right now I'm reading about the curative properties of certain plants, it's pretty comfy. I wouldn't mind trying some of his remedies.
>Discourses of Epictetus
A famous work of Stoic philosophy by a Greek former slave. It's written in short (usually half a page to a few page) dialogues or monologues.
>The Cloud of Unknowing
I just started this one, but it's a classic of Catholic mysticism. Interestingly enough, despite being written in medieval England, it shares some similar ideas with Zen Buddhism.

Steppenwolf.
I know it's pretty normalfag-tier to say "<protagonist of novel> is literally me," but in this case it's actually true.

Under The Volcano
Highly Schitzo I like it

>>16889999
Pathetic.

Reading Hunger by Hamsun and a book on Carl Schmitt by Paul Gottfried. Hunger is very based, I like the scene where he annoys that woman. The Carl Schmitt book is great and very illuminating.

Started reading On the Soul by Aristotle. Pretty good so far, hopefully it'll be nearly as good as Phaedo, or even better
