Read Hamlet

I'm currently half way through Peter Falk's autobiography, and I might even finish it before I go to sleep since its a really easy and quick read, whilst still being fairly decent, and 300 pages deep into Norwid's poetry, which is bangin. I already know I'll read Ogniem i Mieczem next, but after that I've got no idea so maybe someone can sort me out for the next few weeks or months

Urgh. Engels, Peasants war in Germany. Lenin State and revolution; (KAPD or Dutch ultraleftists, like Pannenkoek); Lenin Left-wing communism and infantile disorder.

You're also going to need discourse studies.

Your basis is way too liberal-bourgeois. You need some fucking realists. You should also grapple with utilitarian labourism,

Not sure if you're recommending No Longer Human but it is in my backlog desu. Almost Transparent Blue was a commentary on a post-WW2 Japan. If it weren't for that book I would have not known that there was a rampant meth crisis in Japan after WW2 and still has left a residual impact to this day.

What of Plato specifically? I have his collected works. Don't say everything, I don't think I have the endurance to read all of him consecutively. I can only handle so much

>Socrates: Well would you agree with X Glaucon?

>Glaucon: Of course Socrates only a mad man would disagree with X!

>Socrates: Well then surely you must agree with Y?

>Glaucon: By God Socrates you are right!

Yeah no, the brutal complex realisim in 18 Brumaire is entirely history of thought and not a current tangent inside political science.

Go be the human toilet you need to be.

>>17781932
Maybe decide whether or not you want to read a book before you buy it then

Grossman - Stalingrad
Kay - Fionavar Tapestry
Carey - The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith
Zola - The Ladies' Paradise
Gogol - Dead Souls (reread)

UNIRONICALLY, my next three books are mein kampf, culture of critique and turner diaries.

>>17792936
>Ibsen
An old favourite from my school days. I found something truly absurd about the social environment he depicts. It's within the modern era, but there's a disconnect between his plays and my experience of the social world that I found really interesting when I got into his works.

>>17800194
Incredibly based

>>17792936
>John Fahey- How Bluesgrass Music Destroyed My Life
Curious if he writes any decent. I wanted to read his musicology work but it's probably all gibberish to me
