Everyday, I wake up to find a new shitty general being made. Why do you fags do this shit?

>>19083404
to watch you seethe

>>19083173
This is a pretty retarded general. Book rec threads have never been a big problem and they usually get better discussions going.

>>19083463
>never been a big problem
>books for this feel
>literary equivalent of ____
the more we have people asking for books the more people find ways to troll using "book rec" as an excuse to make off topic threads

>>19083474
The only solution to this is to ban rec threads like/a/ does

>>19083486
why dont you go back to >>>/a/ instead of telling me the solution to a problem you clearly arent concerned with?

Any books where the main character fucks around and has fun having sex with beautiful women, stealing treasure, getting into combat, etc? Just looking for some badass fun chad energy literature.

>>19083493
>aggressive shitposting even though we have basically the same position
After rec threads this is the second worst problem with /lit/

>>19083393
I hadn't realized you thought so highly of me.

>>19083518
>ban rec threads
doesnt seem likely that will happen so its not very helpful advice

What are the best books on the history of the roman empire? (Specifically the roman empire, not the republic.)
I am simply reading history of entertainment so i'm looking for secondary sources.

Please give me hope for the current/future of literature. What are the best books of the last 5-10 years? Additionally, what are your most reliable methods for finding quality contemporary lit?

Everything Nietzsche is bloomer, isn't it? Haven't read the gay science though, I'm assuming he mantains this trend through all his writing

Sounds about right, just easier to make a thread.

>>19095075
give it time, if people see the thread getting bumped with requests well read anons will start coming in and giving advice

Description rich travelogues? I just want to feel the richness of being outside of the city
>>19095075
/lit/ doesn't read. Even assuming that the thread is an actual recc thread and not just a thinly veiled blog or twitter celeberity gossip (which is a bold fucking assumption), then the thread wouldn't have much more than the usual shitposts
See >>19092920 >>19089860

Where to start with vollmann's short stories?

>>19083173
what do you guys think of Ishmael by Daniel Quinn?

>>19095399
agreed, rec threads are used as an excuse to shitpost. rarely will you get intellectual discussion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR_n8win2Vs&t=39s

I recommend this book.

>>19095737
You did not post a girl
You did not post a book you recommend

>>19095746
Yes I did. What are you talking about?

>>19095737

>>19095399
>Even assuming that the thread is an actual recc thread and not just a thinly veiled blog or twitter celeberity gossip (which is a bold fucking assumption),
I just honestly think the OP who made this thread and trying to make it into a general just wants to feel important.

>>19095794
>just wants to feel important.
thats because your prepubescent brain cant comprehend doing something other than for selfish reasons

>>19095803
Stop seething because you were found out. It’s plainly obvious this “General” is a failure.

>>19095737
Based. Top notch book

>>19095817
>Stop seething
youd rather sit here and argue then actually read. unlike me. no, ill be finishing up a book tonight that i started about 3 days ago, l8r loser

>>19095399

I read recently and enjoyed All That Man Is by David Szalay. I usually find contemporary authors by reading short story collections I find at thrift stores.

>>19083173
A friend of mine just finished their first book ever (of their own volition) and of course I want to foster that. They really like Richard David Precht. Anyone know other pop-psy books/authors that are entertaining, but not shit?

>inb4 any dead philosophers.

I'm looking for books that feature crossdressing or male to female gender bending as a major element

>>19087688
Check out anything by Liz Greene. I’m currently reading the Saturn one and I think it’s very profound.

Any books that would help me get a gf? Not looking for PUA shit

Reccommend me some WMAF literature

If you’re fine with “tranny-core” then Torrey Peter’s work is really great, if really dark. Give “the masker” a try. It’s a free novella, very dark though, be forewarned. I haven’t read “detransition, baby” yet but I have heard good things.

Also:
Nevada, Imogen Binnie (mediocre but still okay imo)

A safe girl to love, Casey plett (haven’t read but it seems ya-ey?)

/TTTT/ cross posters! Post more troon core!

>>19098272
I was kinda hoping for stuff outside the trans label, but both of those look interesting

What is a good reference book for memorization? Principles, comparing strategies, and the specifics of memorizing songs, poetry, notes, facts, or entire books? I read "Moonwalking with Einstein" but I really dislike that type of book, and didn't come away with much.

I just want some decent horror. I may as well give Stephen King's short stories another go, but I want something new and engrossing.

Any good introductory cooking books?

>>19099131
salt fat acid heat

More stuff like Steppenwolf?
