The adventures of freya stark an explorer in luristan. Amazing experience so far her style makes you feel like your sitting with her on the carpets of the many groups she interacts with. You'll encounter alot of different groups with vying interests while learning some the history of the region.

>>18714798
I've been reading our favorite author's The Pale King for the last few days and I really like it. Should finish it tomorrow (God willing) and start Jacques the Fatalist. I ordered 2666 and will be reading that after Jacques. Then Bernanos' Diary of a Country Priest. I've also been reading Jung's The Red Book at night, and making my way through Meditations on the Tarot. I also go through some verses of the Bible once in a while (KJV 1611 He), as well as singing some of Blake's poems (Such, such are the joys!)

Got these ones recently
>Paper-dumplings - Studies on the Translation of Greek and Latin classics
>The Classics in Hungarian
These are actually really fucking good. I read the essays concerning Homer (there was one in each volume, the first one dealing with the period from the middle ages until the 19th century and then the other one had an essay on the 20th century. Both by the same author, but for some reason they're completely separate with no indication that the other exists. These two would actually make quite a good little book on the topic if they were published together in a stand-alone volume. I've been looking for this kind of information for a while but I'm satisfied now. There's also a few more essays I'm interested in reading, but I got them mainly because of the essays on Hungarian Homer translations.)
>Dual Aspects - Translation-theory writings from Saint Jerome to the 20th century
It's a volume from the same series. I found it on a university reading list for a class and immediately knew that I struck gold with this thing. Seems like a very good starting point and I'm going to start reading it tomorrow.
>Sándor Márai - The Confessions of a Burgher
I want to read more Márai. That's it.
>An anthology of futurist writings
Just to fix up my knowledge on futurism a bit. I read the Futurist manifesto like a year ago and I found it exciting, so I'm trying to get a bit more acquainted with the movement.

I'm coming across so many exciting works, it's great, but it's also saddening, because it feels like I'm kinda descending into consumerism in a sense, even if these aren't necessarily mainstream books.

Anon...

Also for the person who wanted my thoughts on the Louis XIV bio, don't get it. The vast majority of the book is about his mistresses and court intrigue. He mentions how the Dauphin was mindbroken like 50 or so times and how his granddaughter-in-law was a hot slut every time she comes up, but never anything pertaining to his wars. The only foreign relations he covers in depth is his grandson Charles V and the war of the spanish succession. The only good part of the book is the direct quotes from him and a few advisors. I would again recommend that you get a different one.

>>18715005
How's the Chernow?

>>18715116
I haven't read it yet. I am currently reading Armed Struggle: The History of the IRA, then I am going to read the Spanish Civil War, then I will go back to Washington hopefully as the last book before college. The other half of the stack will probably have to wait for winter, except small ones like Mithridates VI. I also just ordered one on the creation of Israel.

>>18715036
What's wrong with properly researched biographies?

>>18715143
There's nothing wrong with biographies, but they shouldn't make up most of or all your reading.

Here is what I have read of my stack so far, excluding the 4 mentioned in my last post.
>>18715143
What has become clear is that the author of the bio is less intelligent than the subject, so if the subject has letters of their own, those should be read instead. The best parts of most of these are the direct quotes.

Also I just realized that I have only American bios left to read, I guess my country isn't that interesting to me since I picked around them

im a still new to reading philosophy but I have been enjoying this introduction to Kant, the mindsight book is helpful too.

>>18715237
start with the greeks

>>18715237
Start with Plato and the Stoics

>>18715252
>>18715276
i will after this Kant Introduction it's pretty small, He is fascinating so far! Or at least this author's interpretation of his works. I've been reading pretty much straight fiction for the past couple years so I need to read more non-fiction. Also I need recommendations for Poetry I'm still new to that as well.

Anyone else?

Got a shabby mass market copy of Arrowsmith for $0.50. Found a VG h/c of Complete Poems and Plays of TS Eliot for a dime a couple weeks ago. They're hit and miss as expected

I've been reading through this stack for about the last month. Just finished reading Lolita yesterday, and now I'm moving on to the top 4.

Should I have bought this many books at the same time? No, probably not but I'm only 5-10 books away from getting everything I really want.

Currently going back and forth with my Hart Crane and T.S. Eliot Collections, after I get through 30-50 pages of Crane's opaque prose I'm getting through my first reading of the bible.

>>18714820
Not sure if that collection has it but try to read Schopenhauer's thesis(Fourfold root). I don't read much philosophy but it was written very well and is essential a rundown of his philosophical foundation(basically Kant) and mentions lots about his world view. In the introduction to WaWaR he constantly reminds the reader to read his thesis as he is only building upon it in that book
>>18714901
broke my next reading this but I fairly enjoy history and have hopes of getting into Roman History or something of the likes that will interest me, do you have any recommendations?
>>18715237
How easy is getting into Dick? Only read necromancer and enjoyed it a fair bit but was confused in some parts. I have a copy of Androids Dream of Sleep

>>18716396

Currently learning as much as I can in terms of leadership & management. Any book recommendations in this area.

Also I'm enjoying the philosophies of pre-Socratic thinkers

That book is for people looking to get a quick overview before hopping into Plato which by all means you can do but I really enjoy Parmenides and Heraclitus in full.

Because some people actually have interests and thoughts.

And I just like the victorian area and have been in a period where I try to understand the economy more.
acting like the only things useful and worth reading are philosophy and some great literature is more pseud than anything.

I'm more disappointed with Ted. In poetic irony he's hampered by not having a computer and knowing his way around the internet. He excuses himself being limited to a prison library and trying to make surface level arguments on purpose, but it really is too surface level. Anyone interested in reading his books has already come to the same conclusions and has the same questions.
The meat worth writing about is what the fuck we're going to do about it. And there, Ted confesses he's old and afraid he'll die soon so he'll have to publish a bunch of notes and letter excerpts instead of a finished product.

It seems like a common theme in deep ecology. Everyone's too scared about the conclusions so they pussyfoot around giving affirmative answers.

That's because it's quite impossible, and everyone is well aware of that fact.

Anyone who really thinks technology can be stopped is as delusional as someone who thinks religion shall make a comeback, or that a single political state can persist forever. All things change. Technology is the manifestation of that change.

The only actual 'solution' to the technology question is apathy and acceptance. Enjoy the ride; it's one way.

>>18724092
religion is making a comeback. The necessary traits for a religious sect are; a belief system, a moral social encirclement, and a practice of those beliefs. All of which can be seen in the face of those that believe at face value, and i know it may seem contrary, of what "Science Says."
As for the single political state, that is precisely what globalism seeks which is what we are tended towards.
Technology or technicism is a manifestation of calculable determinism towards progression, although itself isn't necessarily deterministic. In other words, it doesn't go this or that way, but its motor capabilities do not halt-Can not halt.

'Religion' is making a 'comeback'. Religion has been dead to the word writ-large since the Pope ceased to have any genuine commanding influence on Europe. What we have now are various garbs, worn and discarded at will, so as to spice up one's life.

The ability for globalisation TO create and, to an extent, maintain, a single homogeneous polity is a showcase of the strength which those forces yield—through and enabled by technology; it's another reason for fear, not hope.

Technology progresses to a logical endpoint, characterised by the rules governing the universe—whatever they may be. This force governs and places demands on humans as equally as the technology those humans produce.

I've read Lolita and I'm about to finish The Idiot. Kind of disappointed to be honest. The first part was so good.. ):

>>18724720
You are misinterpreting religion to suit your modalities. One cannot argue with what I have just said is anything but religion. It is faith-a belief, it is a social congruence, and it is the practice of social congruity in faith of what is to be believed. Just because it doesn't follow a doctrine of one or more practices doesn't make it not religion.
You stated that a single political state can't last forever. I then pointed out the obvious contrary to that statement in the actuality of globalism.
I'm not sure of the endpoint insofar as technology is concerned only of what concerns our species, that is specifically the replacement of what makes humanity human into a Singular being, or a hivemind without individuality aside from the technocrats, who are themselves a hivemind by maintaining the same ideology and with it, the same identity, with the exception of being at the control scheme of the direction technology treads.

>>18724794
Any religion that has beliefs that extend beyond the individuals own mind, by definition, has an aim beyond any kind of personal salvation. The aim of the religion then is the same as all social identities: the exertion of power. Religion, as a means to MEANINGFULLY exert power, is utterly outdated. And no, Islam, as a religion only in use in 3rd world shit-holes, is not a powerful religion. Religion, as influencing the world, is dead. Religion is influencing the world. Religion is, ergo, dead.

The most enduring type of polity yet known is Egyptian styled god-king monarchy. This was however only in existence during of time of little to no technological (or indeed any) change. This is quite different from the ability to maintain, through advanced technology, a modern society that develops and innovates as fast as ours does. The fact that modern globalism is capable of such, despite that incredible strains it is put under by progression, is staggering.

It's impossible for a higher caste to control and direct any 'singleton' that might arise. Caste systems exist under NO varying societal or technological changes; Indian culture maintained itself because the Higher caste were necessarily merely forms of the lower—the labouring, yet indispensable classes. This is different from the modern technocratic state. Technocrats need people to rule; they are themselves people. Any sufficiently advanced technology capable of doing away with the entirety of the non-elite classes is equally capable of existing without those very same elites. Any techno-caste slavery will be, if it ever exists (and I confess, I'm a doubter), shall be brief, very brief. There simply isn't enough time left to genuinely try to settle some Orwellian dystopia.

>>18724997
If religious elements or that which defines religion exists within a sect, religious elements exist within that sect, but it is not to be considered a religion(?) Maybe my view is distorted from the quasi-means that have pervaded Religion, such as Propganda that have propelled religious elements to the forefront of movements for political ends.
Did you know back in 2019, Blackrock-the corporation (more like shadow bank) that owns Wallstreet was given to it the Treasury of the United States (as if it wasn't always the case)? https://archive.is/rqIop We have lived under a techno-caste slavery, albeit relatively short with respect to time, since the inceptions of central banks. Perhaps their reign will not be long-lasting and they will succumb to the potentiality of technology as suggested.

Your parents let you play with BB guns? Nice

>>18716575

Recently read the time machine did it, it was pretty cool.

What I’m currently reading

>>18726346
Unironically no. I didn't get my first BB gun until my uncle got me one.

Many tree rats fell by my Crosman.

Haven't read any of his major works like Sátántangó, only his travel account of China and his book "A Mountain to the North, a Lake to the South, Paths to the West, a River to the East", which I liked very much and I'd recommend. Haven't been keeping up with his stylistic changes, but I don't think there'd be anything wrong with just simply opening Sátántangó and seeing if it's up your alley or not, since it was his first novel afaik.

But personally I think he's a writer that requires a special mood and mindset to be read properly, otherwise you just get bogged down in the long sentences that probably flow worse in English because of the repetitions caused by the more isolating grammar compared to the agglutinative language it was written in originally.

TL:DR I can't really help you, try reading him yourself.

>>18726268
I will never get Americans. This is not to do with the guns themselves, btw.
>>18726371
Looks very nice anon

>Anyone who really thinks technology can be stopped is as delusional
The periods of stagnation far outweigh the periods of rapid change. The last 200 years is an absurd outlier. It should tell you something life went on with no significant changes for millions and then hundreds of thousands of years. There's a good chance the people before us who had nothing but stone tools will end up having survived longer than we do with technology.
>The only actual 'solution' to the technology question is apathy and acceptance.
Apathetic surrender is clearly the solution you've chosen. Presumably in most areas of life.

>>18724246
How is it possible to publish this much garbage? Do the authors write for free?

>>18726689
Murica begs to differ. Its existence proves it. We have the most freedom in the world. FREEEDOM HELL YEAH BROTHERS.

If all world governments or social structures collapsed tomorrow, we would still be slaves to our instincts and assumptions. None are free.

Mix of poplit and regular stuff

Sorry fren but I must respectfully and yet strongly disagree.

Different anon here. You should just read the 2 enquiries instead. Hume pretty much disowned the treatise.

>>18736600
Only because no one cared about it; if they'd fellated him in the papers over it he would never have written anything else.
