What are some red flag books on a man's bookshelf?

[Anonymous No.19657881]

for me it'd self-help books, emotional intelligence books and specially anything Shapiro related but overall is lack of some books that would be a red flag.

Barnes and Noble leatherbound books. It's tacky, gaudy shit that midwits buy because they think it looks classy/sophisticated. Not only do they have a children's idea of aesthetics but they probably haven't read it either.

>>19658552
Short stories have fallen out of fashion in the internet age but were widely enjoyed until quite recently. People who read a lot like them because they serve the same purpose as films or video games -- bite-sized servings of narrative fiction that satisfy one's curiosity and explore new ideas, and break up the immersion whatever novel you might have on the go. The fact that you don't like them suggests you see reading as a chore, and an alternative activity to your usual swill.

Get the printed on demand like I do. Even better because you can just mash together all the works of an author in one book, or make your own unique anthologies. I did it for all of Guenon's works en Frencais in two volumes (would have been three if I didn't already have a few of his books). Costs way less than buying them individually.
