I'm a total pleb. Suggest me one book that you think I have to read in order to expand.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy series is both accessible and enjoyable.

I haven't read A Clockwork Orange yet because I'm intimidated by the created language in the book. Is it hard to read it because of it? Do you have to look up words for the Nadsat translation often? Should I just jump into it and then try to be thorough in my second read?

yeah, just jump into it. it might be a slow read but you'll catch on. and you can always go back once you've realized you now know the meaning of a phrase that once stumped you

Not everyone.

>> No.3913251

just do yourself a favor and read plato, aristotle, the bible, shakespeare, dante, homer, ovid, aquinas, virgil, milton and kant.
you'll end up reading them anyway, might as well get them down early

I generally approve. However Aquinas will be boring as fuck and don't jump into Kant right away. Read the rationalists (Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz), and then the empiricists (Locke, Berkley, and Hume). If you're too lazy to read all make sure you at least read Descartes Meditations and Hume's Treatise on Human Nature
