>>17422394
I finished storm of steel recently (got it as a christmas gift) and it's easily in my top 5. I'm reading eumeswil at the moment and it too is quite good. I'm eyeing sturm next. Junger honestly has to be with Lawrence as one of those underrated nietzscheans that rarely get talked about. Lawrence and Junger are sort of just the opposite sides of the same coin.
