My brain doesn't work. I don't want to go into details.

What book should I read on repeat for a long time? I think of reading as a well maintained track for a train, whereas my thinking is a ruddy mud track in the hills, so obviously I should invalidate my thinking with the well-written thinking of others.

What book should I read on repeat, hoping to fix my decrepit brain?

Isn't that about the government. Like, I don't know man. If I had to deal with a bunch of Japanese government officials saying "Lolita is a good book!" and I am the odd one out, it kind of makes democracy meaningless, doesn't it?

I am more of Nietzsche fan, the idea that the individual decides the fate of reality, not the masses. What is beyond good and evil? What you do with passion. Like mocking the Japanese.

I prefer this book, because in my normal state I would be screaming a lot to myself.

Not a big-brain book, but Neuromancer: the more you read, and the more you learn what is the rythm in which you should read it, the most it looks like music (the artistic category, not music as sound merchandise).
