Why is Holes so low on the list? It's pretty popular and an easy read if I remember correctly.

>>18248430
>no esoteric/schizo lit at the bottom

>>18248462
Bottom needs more stuff like this. Call of the Crocodile is good for esoteric/schizo material but there should be more.

>>18248500
So what's the deal, is this guy just relentlessly shilling his book here or something? Based on google, discussions of this book are nonexistent outside of /lit/ and Amazon has multiple reviews saying its a piece of crap

>>18248519
Pic is the final results from a /lit mega thread a few weeks ago back when the list was put together.

>>18248519
Yes that is the case.

>>18248707
you retarded m8?

>>18248747
What’s so schizo about it?

>>18248759
The chart says she has 0 out of 100 suffering. And it says she deserves it 100 out of 100. That means she 100% deserves 0% suffering.

>>18248777
Don't know didn't make the chart

>>18248454
There’s something about William Gass suffering so, but deserving to suffer more that always makes me lose my shit.

>>18248792
(You)

Gardner, the new adverts are cringe as fuck.

>>18248519
>is this guy just relentlessly shilling his book here or something?
Yeah, I've started to report anything that mentions it as spam.

>>18248804
What did Gass suffer? He was a fat academic who probably had more trouble with his stinking fart than anything else.

>>18248899
His dad got murdered

>>18248905
Source?
>Born in Fargo, North Dakota, William grew up in the steel town of Warren, Ohio, spending summers back in the Dakotas. His father, also William, was a budding architect and semi-professional baseball player, but a back injury sustained in the first world war left him arthritic, and he ended up teaching high school technical drawing in Warren. As Gass put it, “crippled with arthritis and his own character”, increasingly bitter and bigoted, his father drove his mother, Claire (nee Sorensen), to alcoholism.

>After graduating from the high school where his father taught, Gass attended Ohio Wesleyan University before serving three and a half unhappy years as a naval officer during the second world war. When the war ended he was accepted into Kenyon College, where he majored in philosophy.

>>18248899
This is why it’s funny. Guy who made the chart just hates Gass I guess.

>>18248937
Maybe I’m thinking of someone else?

>>18248792
The chart says she has 5 suffering, you fucking imbecile

>>18248519
the books became a meme and a few people are too dumb to understand this and think that literally every post about them comes from one guy

>>18248792
You are right technically, but it’s also clearly not the intention of the chart to say that.

boring
someone post the bionicle one

>>18249345
It didn’t become a meme, he advertises it here endlessly. There is a huge difference

>>18249345
This is my favorite one. Gardnerposters have saved this board.

I see Call of the Crocodile constantly. What the fuck is it?

>no screen cap
Gardner, you are sad, no one outside of the people who think you’re annoying thinks of you at all. Give this shit a rest.

>>18250058
Why would I post a screencap when it takes me 15 seconds to edit it? It'd prove nothing. I swear on the Bible I am not whomever that is, I just want to know what the dumb twist was. I see it posted on other boards too and I saw it on the OP image and decided to ask.

If you don't want to tell me the 'twist' then fine, just say so and I'll leave the thread.

>>18248454
>Left wing or jewisih wrtierr high on Deserved It axis despite not living notably unethical life
>Meanwhile Michael Gira, famously an asshole and rapist, lower on that scale, etc.
I get that it's /lit/ but still, c'mon. The placements for Walter Benjamin, Marx, Adorno, Kafka, Gramsci, etc. are laughable when lower than them on the Deserved It scale are known rapists and life-long assholes

>>18250067

And nice KYM filename btw

>>18250093
Alright, have a good day anon, closing the thread now.

>>18250104
Oh. Okay. But what is the big twist? Is the book 'so bad it's good'? Because I've seen some pretty bad books that are published (granted, self-published) partly storytimed on /lit/.

>>18250109
I liked it. Don't know what the other anons are talking about. It's just some obscure indie series that built up some readers on here. I think most people are just memeing because they didn't like it or are jealous to see one of our own actually publish his books.

>>18250126
Oh some /lit/fag made it? Alright might explain why I kept seeing it around the boards. Thanks for explaining it a bit. That's really all I wanted to know why I kept seeing it around the place.

5:5 is the cat from Soseki’s supremely comfy novel I Am a Cat. Faust I believe is 70:50 (though personally I think he has done much more questionable things than must people in that column). 100:45 would be the protagonist from Knut Hamsun’s Hunger, 100:65 is Lolita, I’m unsure who 100:80 and 100:65 are, and 100:90 is Hal from Infinite Jest (who I thought /lit/ would be much more sympathetic for)

I can recommend a few primers without a reading path if you want?

>World Order, Henry Kissinger
>Diplomacy, Henry Kissinger
>Arms and Influence, Thomas C. Schelling
>Strategy of Conflict, Thomas C. Schelling
>Strategy: A History, Lawrence Freedman
>Theory of International Politics, Kenneth N. Waltz
>The Death of Expertise, Tom Nichols
>Good Strategy / Bad Strategy, Richard Rumelt
>Prisoners of Geography, Tim Marshall
>Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety, Eric Schlosser
>The Secret World, Christopher Andrew

'Strategy: A History', although a totemic volume is an excellent primer that touches on many things and helps you figure on your area(s) of interest. 'World Order', 'Prisoners of Geography' and 'Command and Control' are probably the most digestible from the listed books. That won't overwhelm you.

I recommend 'The Death of Expertise' as supplement reading for personal development to help appreciate our (the common layman) lack of knowledge in what are niche expertise.

I get so fucking mad whenever I see this chart. I cannot find the "New Nobility of Blood and Soil" or any books by Richard Walther Darré. I have looked for hours, where the fuck do I find them. I have searched everywhere. All I can find is a biography by Anna Bramwell. Is that the one that I am supposed to be reading? I don't think so. Can you link me to the proper pdf for it please? I know what website you got this off of too, you got this off of here: https://westernman.org/ideology-reading-lists/..

From wikipedia I get:
"His two main writings were Das Bauerntum als Lebensquell der nordischen Rasse (1928) and Neuadel aus Blut und Boden (1930), translated into English as "The Peasantry as Life Source of the Nordic Race" and "A New Nobility of Blood and Soil" respectively.

Peasantry/Farminghood as Life-source of the Nordic Race (1928)
New Nobility from Blood and Soil (1930)"

But really though I cannot find the books in these reading lists anywhere, and I'm not about to go to Indigo asking for "Ecofascism" and "New Nobility of Blood and Soil". I mean I may as well order the Mein Kampf while I'm at it, it's not like I could get on any more government watchlists anyway.

have you encountered any evidence that these works were even published in english other than this sourceless wikipedia paragraph? because that looks to me like it might have been bad phrasing by an esl person that meant only to say what the german titles translate to, as opposed to the books actually having been translated and published under those titles.

i mean if you want to read obscure nazi documents then you might have to just man up and learn german.

>>18259886
>>18264182
Hmm, one of you say based, and the other says "The Worst One." So then which one is it. In fact, could I get a definitive answer as to which of these charts is the best one? I'm currently reading The Brothers Karamazov. And I don't know if I'm just too brainlet for it, or maybe I have a dopamine addled mind because I am a zoomer coomer drug user, but for whatever reason I think I'm missing something from it. But to be fair I'm not that far into the book

Hello chud, did you know that the same thing is happening in Europe. White people will become minorities in every white nation, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Even better, we are going to move on without you and create a multiethnic paradise, without white people, where Europe used to be. :) Search it up, America will be minority white by 2045, Canada by around 2050. Britain will be minority white by 2056. Germany, Sweden and France following close behind. Say goodbye to your people chud, they are going to die out. Not only is there nothing you can do about it, but virtually everyone in modern society agrees with me that this needs to happen. It must be painful huh, being a sad nazi loser in his mommies basement XD

Exactly. People like him make the board much worse.

>>18264894
See I understand what you mean. Chuds and polcucks won't stay in their containment board.

It's about time >>18264861 admitted that he is a chud. " I haven't gotten so many (You)'s since that one tranny had a mental breakdown on /pol/." - Chud. So he did come from /pol/. No surprise there. And with that, on behalf of the entire board, and the two posters evidenced above:

Go back to /pol/ chud

>>18264861
WHAT IS IT YOU DREAM OF?

>>18264861
It's funny because everyone on this board agrees with me and my statements. You are alone nazi loser get fucke

>>18264894

>>18264904
Nothing, he doesn't dream of anything because he is a sad bbc addicted polcuck chud, who is so insecure about his addiction to interracial porn, that he lashes out at other races and acts hateful towards them. Also thanks to the anon for the polcuck insult. I'll be using that in every thread from now on.

>>18264912
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH GET FUCKED POLKEK CHUD

No reply from the chud, just what I expected. I'm hopping back on discord now, I'll be back to check on some of your replies later.

>>18264900
Later.
>>18264902
Fucking kek. I'm nothing like the chud strawman that you axewounds try and push. I came here from /pol/ and this thread specifically for book recommendations because I wanted to expand my library.
It wans't until you pushed that surpreme faggotry earlier in the thread that I commented on and started this little flame war.
It's almost as if people are not one dimensional cardboard cut outs, and have other interests.

Kissinger - love or hate him will continue to be a core part of international relations, long after he's dead. He's very smart and you'll learn a lot from learning his work.

With Greene's work? Eh, it seems a bit Machiavelli wannabe-ism for people who like getting off at the idea of being a puppet master.

There are better authors for the subject matter.

Any charts or suggestions for romanian books?

>>18259823
This is quite literally the worst list this board has produced. The amount of pseud picks are staggering.

I wouldn't worry too much anon, /lit/ is pretty diverse and as soon as you use the word "kike" it insta-triggers the snowflakes who happened to be passively browsing the thread. Most of us do not really care.

>fucking Women and men on the list
You can put all the anons who have read them together and it would barely reach double digits. 16-17 was the time we had the highest concentration of pseuds, people who would daydream about reading these fat books than actually reading them. '16's isnt much better either. Immense retardation.
>BM, IJ, W&P, DQ out of top 10-15

>Mason & Dixon not on the list

Literally crime against board culture.

>According to Joyce scholar Jack Dalton, the first edition of Ulysses contained over 2,000 errors
Since the first edition was faulty, there are over 18 editions, each attempting to correct them using different sources. Most are fine, even if there are differences, e.g., Gabler doesn't include chapter titles, but the first one should be avoided.

>>18265890
Didn't Bottom's Dream get an English translation that year? I remember there being many threads about anons posting their copies. Most voters probably hadn't read it, but it was popular that year.
I don't see how Recognitions is more egregious than JR, which keeps popping up (although not as high).
Women and Men has been available as an ebook for some time.
There are always a few /sffg/ picks, so Three Body Problem is not that surprising.
Still, I do agree with you that many of the votes were based on reputation rather than experience.

damn Poltards.

>>18266228
The Recognitions is less outrageous, yes. But 12 is too damn high for how little that book gets discussed. Only recently did people start to read that book despite all the memeing from 2016 and JR is too damn high as well. Fairly sure nobody ever read ZT, it was being memed same as Moore's Jerusalem during release which, again, nobody has read here.
>Women and Men has been available as an ebook for some time.
I am the only dude here who has read half of it. Funny to think people were frequently namedropping it in favourite books threads back then when it's popularity has only been slightly over Evan Dara's.

>>18266440
Oh yeah, Jerusalem was the worst example. I don't know if there's anyone who actually read it.
Remember, though, that even 8 votes gets you in top 20. So it's not wholly unreasonable

>>18266274
I know right, it's a good thing that the chuds ran away because they couldnt hanle the banks. /pol/ refugees

>>18265601
I mean, kind off?
The advice and examples he uses in the book have so far been quite sound, and applicable in my day to day life.
But I will take your recommendations to heart and look at other authors as well.
