Reposting from last thread
Blew through Things Fall Apart today, actually surprised at how interesting it was from an anthropological sense but the narrative structure itself was pretty weak, we never really got enough time with any of the characters to get attached to them. Also, the final conflict with the Missionaries is just glossed through.

Was slogging through Decline of the West for a bit but to be honest I didn't understand a lot of it and stopped pretty early on. Spengler references a LOT of esoteric shit. I would recommend reading a lot of Kant, Nietzsche, Stirner, Goethe etc. if you haven't already. Good luck anon.

I've bought a lot of books in the past month or so, but here's my haul from the last time I went to the bookstore. The Jack Kerouac book is Desolation Angels. I'm also reading Take A Walk On the Dark Side, and that encyclopedia of secret societies is fun to look through. Still haven't opened those books on Freemasonry. Currently reading Solaris as well.

Whenever I've been in one they've just got nothing but those fucking pop dolls or the latest floppies and hardcovers. Seen no novels except for light novels.
