I was never a man of literature, but people can change.

My journey from /pol/ to /fit/ have thought me that fulfillment comes from understanding and education.

I come here to understand human nature, if you may please guide me in the right direction.

/pol/ was my guide
/fit/ was the understanding of my own body
/lit/ is my education to understand human nature.

How little do you have to respect yourself to let a mass of anonymous Americans guide your thinking?

>> No.10205996

>>10205774
Greeks
Bible
Dante
Shakespeare
Dickens
Dostoevsky

Read in any order. You'll be a very intelligent and understanding man if you complete this list.

>>10205774
Crime and punishment
The Brothers Karamazov
Sculpting in Time
Old Man and the Sea
I would also recomend you fountainhead and virtue of selfishness by Ayn Rand but only if you read Stirner BTFO every single one of her delusions afterwards.

Only you can truly guide yourself friend, think your own.

don't let your politics skew anything and keep your mind open otherwise your experience will be superficial.

I've never posted on pol, but having a few thousand autistic white guys barreling down to the root of sociopolitical matters is revolutionary and people will likely see its advent and coming of age as something uniquely transformative, if not just because it woke a fuckload of young white men up the jewish question.

i feel like before you start any book you should briefly pretend you've never had any bias at all whatsoever and then proceed

What the fuck are you on about. Milton, Tolstoy, Proust and Joyce are much better

Someone times you have to dirty your hands to get progress, on my own free will I entered /pol/ and fought off the people who wish to keep the true world hidden.

I don't care about politics but I enjoy a good laugh or two from all the outrage trump causes.

Thank you friends, with this I can continue my journey forward, to find the truth.

Milton, Proust, and Joyce aren't beginner tier. Tolstoy is a fine option but I think Dostoevsky is better for a beginner.

Stupid post but beautiful girl. Truly the mark of a patrician to appreciate that aesthetic. Ironically it isn't a perverse sensuality like most think, the "normal" try and transpose their lust onto a more refined taste. It's the peak feminine beauty, fragile blossoming flower, to be handled delicately with appreciation. Modernity has tragically stifled any chance of such love

Since you are /pol/ I guarantee you'll love Nietzsche but you MUST read the greeks before him. Particulary Plato and Heraclitus. Birth of Tragedy is my favorite work of his but you'll get a kick out of Geneology of Morals. Also Aurelius discipline meme for noobs. Both are quite empowering and Nietzsche is a good writer as well
