It's when he realizes that the tiger is in fact real and that this is not just a prank.

Why did they let that guy in a room with a live tiger. Tigers are very dangerous.

Disappointing. Almost as disappointing as people that need to be programmed by philosophy books rather than just think for themselves.

not the stupid "tendies" guy but I'd argue based off of his rhetoric in the 80s and his alliance with michael parenti that he is a marxist, but that he went under neoliberal cover in the 90s so he could run for prez eventually. Which, tight if true.

Outside of most shit that everyone is going to say (stoner, moby dick, etc which mind you are great recommendations) you should give a chance less known books: good omens (hilarious), augustus (another williams book, miles ahead of stoner) memoirs of hadrian (if you liked augustus)

A nice "reactionary" read for a left-winger (I assume you are one since you use this term) would be Carl Schmitt, if you haven't read it already. Start with The Notion of the Political, and then Theory of the Partisan. These are short, to the point, and quite insightful. Many people on the left appreciate is thought despite its flaws, and should you wish to have a left-wing view on it I recommend Giorgio Agamben.

(Also, read Simone Weil)

Im actually far right myself, but i like to keep my bases covered. The thing is that outside of key reactionary philosophers/historians like Spengler, Schmitt, Carlyle, Guenon, i'd include Nietzsche as well, there isnt that much, since all of post-WW2 phil was dominated by the left. So id like to read more figures here as well.
Ive read more leftists than rightists lately, anyway.

I really really enjoyed reading “Winesburg Ohio” this year. It’s super easy but really entertaining. And it made me start socializing more. It had a ton of characters in it that were alone and had become not used to being around people. It made me realize the same thing was happening to me. I could really relate to a lot of them.
