/lit/ - Literature

Nietzsche is for retards.

They're doctors of the MIND, man.

I once ended up at some public lecture/literary circlejerk called Trampoline Hall where I listened to some woman ramble on about how it's okay to stay inside and be alone, but still go out and casually fuck when you need to. Or something. Never again.

Why do you have arrows indicating which page to read next?

Hobbes, Edmund Burke, Max Weber, Samuel Johnson, Niccolò Machiavelli, Charles Montesquieu, Oswald Spengler, Émile Durkheim for some random suggestions.

Poetry is trash. I recommend you stay away.

Don't listen to anyone who says otherwise, as they're only demonstrating their terrible taste in literature.

It's a good little novel. If you're into idealism of any sort - particularly Schopenhauer - you'd probably like it.

I wouldn't call him a troll. He just didn't do anything worthwhile aside from Principia Mathematica.

I'd ban science fiction, 50 Shades of Grey, most Liberal literature (fiction or non-fiction).

It's all right overview/summary. Most of his works are worth reading.

I'd also suggest Michael S. Laver - if you can find anything by him for cheap.

Amphetamines.

>Mathematics and its History by John Stillwell

I also recommend this one.

Waking Life sucks, don't waste your time.

The books by his son/that other guy are awful.

Avoid.

This post is what I was going to say. Hesse is good, but aimed at young people.

Siddhartha remains an all time favourite, however.

I never found Chekhov to be anything too memorable.

Rothschild's Violin was nice, I guess. The Duel is a favourite as well.

That's a pretty good way to put it.

Same can be said for a lot of philosophy of that era, though.

Probably not.

I would consider all of Camus' work to be a rather easy experience reading them in French. He was always somewhat of a minimalist so it's fairly simple.
