Old man yells at you to wake up and live life. You have nothing to lose. Avoid materialism. Embrace eastern philosophies.

He combines this attitude with funny smutty stories of him and the boys romping through NY and Paris destitute, meeting larger than life characters along the way. I can’t quite think of a comparable writer. His prose (I hate this phrase) is great. I wish I could meet him and tell him that all the writing he did was worth it, as he did reach someone, and change my life. He would love it

What is the hybrid from under the churcas in the photo with the ELBOWS worn and reddened from fornication?

Here and so everything is clear that this telegonic garbage dump, an interspecies chimera from the sex of xenophilic pale parasites (Jewges) with animal devils as in the background, is trying to have sexual relations with a photographer or those who are not like her, and reads a lot of books, for this and such photos are taken that supposedly - look, I'm not a cattle, if I took a picture of a lot of books or stored them on a shelf - then I'm smart !!!

Who in 2022 is being led by telegonic Jewness with alien-racial anthropological features? - only the same pale-skinned churkas-mongoloids living in bio shells = never born from the enrego-informational chimerization = of the unborn souls of the ancestors of the Aryan cuckolds, who ruined their genome about the connection with such tricks of reptilian-insectoid primates long time ago cloned in Eden by satanic alien civilizations and now already kill all aryan country, genome and souls.

Coriolanus.
Reading it and seeing the deep heroism and individuality of a great man, a monster of agency and virtue destroyed and bravely facing his destruction by the the shackles of his life, the confines of his family, and the unjust home to which he belongs.
It helped me muster enough courage and fan enough anger to move out of my mother's house. 'There is a world elsewhere'.

Probably Richest Man in Babylon and How to Win Friends and Influence People between high school and college when I was working as a cutco knife salesman. The former made me much more conscious of money and the latter got me to consciously work on how I interacted with people. There was also Jocko Willink's Extreme Ownership, but that was short lived because it made me burn out very quickly at work, and then Alcoholics Anonymous (the blue book) that changed how I saw alcoholism, but I had already committed to quitting drinking anyway and was in rehab at the time so I can't say it changed how I live, since I had already made the change.

While works of literature are nice, I'd say over a decade of reading 4chan has been more impactful on how I live.
