What are some good lesser known books to get started on the /fitlit/ path?

Avoid the obvious
>Bronze age mindset
>Ride the tiger
>Sun and steel
Etc

After you read those three, a book on lifting, Caesar's de bello galica

>Ride the Tiger

I am so tired of this meme. Why this gets recommended all over the place at all baffles me.
I adore Evola - I have every single one of his books that has been published into English - but this is a book dedicated largely to addressing existential philosophical questions. If I see one more person recommend Ride the Tiger to some jacked up /pol/nigger I will physically seethe.

The Greeks
The way of men
And it depends on what you are really trying to be /fit/ for

Do you really think that several chapters devoted to addressing Nietzsche, Sartre and Heidegger are going to help somebody find the motivation to lift?
