24. I may have completed 10-15 books in total in my entire lifetime, I think The physicists was my favourite one thus far. The book I hated the most was Crabwalk.

In the last 5 years the books I managed to finish were:
- The Elegance of the Hedgehog
- No longer Human (liked it a lot)
- Fool's life by Akutagawa

What I'm trying to finish for a while now:
- Tractatus by Wittgenstein (20 pages left)
- Ego and his Own (read 150 pages)
- Demons by Dostojevsky (150 pages)
- Critique of Pure Reason (150 again)
- Beyond Good and Evil (read 60 pages)

Yeah, I know it's poor, but I find it hard to finish what I start (After 150 pages some kind of barrier emerges). I generally prefer short books, because they're less intimidating. Also I can't remember plot, family relations and names of characters in novels and have to write it down. Sometimes OCD fucks with me and forces me to start with page one again and again, making me unable to finish a book, like with The Castle (liked it a lot, but got sick of the constant repeated attempts). I generally dislike fiction, especially sci-fi or LOTR style books, never cared for this stuff.

1. At The Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft (45% finished)
2. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote (30% finished

Last five books:

>Apollonius - On Conics Books V - VII (trans. G. J. Toomer)
>Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Emile; or On Education

Next five:
>Irving Fisher - Mathematical Investigations into the Theory of Value and Price
>Plato - The Laws
>Ibn Al-Haytham - Completion of the Conics
>Alexander Hamilton/James Madison - The Federalist Papers
>Vilfredo Pareto - Manual of Political Economy

Most likely in that order, too. Laws is the only ''''easy'''' read. And I do read that one rather carefully as well, as this Platonic dialogue, in particular, is structured rather loosely, yet has core tenets that the Athenian stranger will go back and reference frequently.

Hmm. I read those books in a single session each, while trying to fall asleep and failing. I've already read most major works associated with their authors (except for the 2 chinks I wasn't familiar with). Bolaño's was typical of his style (which I love), Siddartha at least was more palatable than Demian, and Gide's was just another of his works about homos corrupting minors.

The fact you just assumed a 'reading habit' out of 5 books speaks volumes about your mental age though. Were you aware I read the entire Rougon-Macquart or that my favorite Mann is Buddenbrooks? That I'm slowly but surely finishing the Western Canon and the secondary Canon lists?

I read what I can get my hands on (meaning there're books which I've wanted to read for a long time but I can't find a good translation for them or something like that).
If I'm in a good condition I read harder books, if not easier and shorter books.
I read according to mood.

AQotWF is really gripping and quite powerful. I missed this book in highschool as it was in the normie class. I expected it to be pretty pleb tier, but the prose is pretty solid, it's very enjoyable to read, and it is quite astonishing to get a first hand account of the horrors of WWI (Remarque obviously fictionalizing specifics, but having been to the front several times over the course of the war. Its veracity seems indubitable).

I went through a bit of a religious crisis and a plan to read through massive volumes of books. What I’ve decided to do now though (and I’ve already read Brave New World) is I’m gonna read through /lit/s top 100. I’m starting by reading everything in the top 100 that’s also in the lit starter pack (Brave New World, Catch-22, 1984, Slaughterhouse-Five,…). I then ordered the /lit/ top 100 chart in chronological order, starting with the Iliad and ending with Jerusalem. I’m then gonna read through this chart with modifications for segments of the top 100 to be included (for example, this chart includes Billy Budd then the Hobbit, I replaced Billy Budd with Moby Dick, I’m then gonna read a bunch of books that chronologically come after Moby Dick (Madame Bovary, Oblomov, Les Miserables, Notes From Underground, Alice in Wonderland) then I’m gonna read the Hobbit, immediately followed by Lord of the Rings which is on the top 100 chart). I cut off pic related chart after section VII (so I don’t read VIII) so it’s a massive list of around 153 books. That should keep me busy for maybe the next three-four years

The first half is some of the best shit I ever read. It's all about despair and really helped me recognise what was wrong when I was really depressed. I cannot recommend it enough.
The second half is awful though as he simple goes on about God and Sin so unless you're into that or just want to finish the whole thing I'd recommend to skip the second half. Hong and Hong translation is recommended.

I'd recommend it, it's a good distillation of everything you'll hear in his lectures, with a few more personal anecdotes. If you're already an obsessive-level fan (like most of his fans) you won't read anything new, but it's a good way to guilt yourself into doing the dishes.

Take your time, his arguments aren't that difficult to follow if you ignore the meticulous references to his earlier propositions, axioms, lemma, etc. and trace them intuitively according to the few key general concepts he lays out in the first book. I recommend to have a physical copy so you can refer back to a vital proposition without having to fight with the "Find on Page" function, or scroll for two minutes, both of which I had to do.

It makes me laugh to read the negative reviews of its on Goodreads from "real" psychologists, who call it "pseudo-science." It's more well researched than any psychological "study" I've ever read. I think his writing has the same problem as Freud's, in that it offends the more dandified generations. I can imagine how "patriarchal" his descriptions of the mother-child social dynamic as essentially one that satisfies the mother's desire to control another living being would seem to the average psychology undergrad, and how "anarchic" and "unscientific" his account of the sting would seem to a Petersonian. And the similarities between his conception of Schreber's illness as a "disease of power" and Deleuze's "insomniac rationality" are worth noting, namely, that in both conceptions abstract reason's relation to paranoia is the primary factor, against Freud's "latent homosexuality." I also liked the tones of Stirner, as when Canetti says, in relation to the desire of an arsonist to be found out, "Arson is a fixed idea."

It took me about three months to finish it because he isn't the most colorful writer, but I am very glad I took the trouble.
