Good book

Sup Forums doesn't read. Hence why this is on page 4

An incredible book full of powerful imagery and a compelling storyline. I'm halfway through my third reading and it's getting better everytime.

I kid you not. Just bought this on a lark. Haven't cracked it yet. Guide me.

It's an okay book. Really popular in prisons and with losers.

it's literally trash. it teaches you how to be an antisocial paranoid disingenuous d-bag that no one will like. no one who's truly successful actually acts like that. it was written for edge lords who are not successful to fantasize about being successful.

read it dumbass. im out n gone. BLAM!

>no one who's truly successful actually acts like that.

Have you even read it? It gives nice examples throughout history and explains its a book for people with high amounts of power in real life, not really just average people. If you have a lot of power, people WILL plot against you and you have to be very realistic, not idealistic when it comes to relationships at that level.

Although I'd argue the less real life power you have, the more watered down you can afford to follow the 48 laws.

It's a good redpill in explaining how with great power comes great responsibility. It also gives you things to look out for in life or perhaps use if you have to.

It's been several months. Only ~600 pages to go

Also about halfway through this

Cultural of Critique by Kevin MacDonald is a must read. Anything by Pat Buchanan is great, 1913 by Paul Haim, The Cold War by Gaddis, and The Pope and Mussolini are all interesting and educational reads.

I am still on the eternal search for a book/audiobook about the Spanish Civil War that isn't biased towards the commies - I've yet to find one that even slightly pretends to be neutral.

You're not supposed to live your life like that, you are supposed to use the laws when you need to play a power role. The author even says you'd be a miserable person with a miserable life if you only lived through those rules.

Also popular with CEOs.

In all honesty, any prominent politician or business leader follows it but it would be social suicide to admit it

Yep, great read indeed. I might not make use of the rules it sheds light on, but it really helps with identifying those who do.

It also gave me some valuable insight on how humans think, specifically the chater on cults

*chapter

I recently finished reading How to Win Friends and Influence People, and I have to say that it might be one of the most important books I've ever read in my life.

Reading this because I heard it triggers pinkos.

This. He's also a fucking scatporn guy

Currently reading this, along with Basic Economics (about 60% through), a book from Evola, Spontaneous Order, a book about investing, and this book of anecdotes from career Minor League Baseball players.

Agreed. So many people call it just common sense but that's like saying a sharp piece of metal making a good weapon is common sense, but you have to learn all about the details of how to properly make it into something of high quality

Read this when I was 15. Got about Galway through then realized that every "law" contradicts must of the other "laws". Has some good historical anecdotes that are highly exaggerated (or completely made up) in many cases.

I agreed with you the first time I read it.
Now that I am getting into larger positions of power, I am starting to agree with you. I need to reread.

How in-depth is The Cold War? I'm trying not to have more than one 400+ page book going at the same time...

Absolutely worth a read. An easy read too, no difficult language. The unabridged version is 2400 pages from what I can remember.

That's nice for making friends and meeting people, but 48 Laws really goes above and beyond that

>inb4 someone posts the GLR quote about How To Win Friends...

>It gives nice examples throughout history
Most of his examples are just made up though.

Incredibly good history of the Crusades, the shit the Leftist education system won't teach you.

*halfway through

recently started your pic related

Care to give a source on that?

There used to be threads where people would post pictures of book covers, and you could save it and rename it to .rar and the book would be inside the picture. This isn't one, I don't have any of those anymore. Good book though

I'm listening to the audiobook edition of The Gulag Archipelago. Still sorting myself out.

Aus hapa vacationing in Phils btw.

Just finished Hitlers War and Londistan. About to start Culture of Critique.

The Doctrine of Fascism is a bumbling mess tbqh
The Cold War is pretty high-level but it covers the main events, the dynamics between the democracies/cominform/non-aligned movement, and a few interesting plausible alt-history scenarios. It's very well-written and there is a nice audiobook of it on Audible if you're into that.

I'm pretty sure I read The Myth of the 20th Century, also read the Protocols of the Elders of Zion too so far this week.

Also Dog Company.

This book is told by guys who were over seas fighting for the U.S and how bullshit PC politics not only get them killed but also how much the Western media completely lies to all westerners about how dangerous the COMMON Islamic Wahhabist is.

There's a story of two national guardsmen radioing a Ranger unit for help, by the time the Rangers got there they found the national guardsmen butchered alive and their fingers bones being sold in town by the locals.

This shit will get your blood absolutely boiling.

If you look at Trump you can tell he unironically follows the book closely.

This is the greatest book ever written.

Great book, how many bad habits are fucking up your life Sup Forums ?

>shit the Leftist education system won't teach you

>The Case for the Crusades

Yes it sounds very objective since you're so concerned with bias

thanks I'll add it to my list

The way we have it setup is we have a weekly book discussion every Sunday. Last week's was 48 Laws, this week is Parts 1 and 2 of How to Win Friends and Influence People

Just read the #rules channel and it will explain everything.

Don't be an ass it's common knowledge modern the Western education system, particularly collegesm are largely ultra-left leaning

The book is objective, in most places all you hear from History teachers is Muh Crusades were evil and that's about the extent of it. Stark is one of the most well researched Historians on the subject.

It goes deep into the Why the Crusades actually happened. The Kings who went on Crusade more often than not impoverished themselves doing so, they were not doing this for the typical war reasons of getting rich, it was an honest to god battle to save their civilization. Really incredible stuff.

In particular rule 21

Yep, sounds like a book for you.

Thanks for the rundown m8

I'm also reading that.

This is a good read. Finished it before starting the r/K psychology book.

Is The Dictator's Handbook any good? Someone recommended it to be because I mentioned I wanted to read more books from a realpolitik/Machiavellian perspective.

How is it? Really want to pick up a copy

Life at the bottom - Theodor Dalrymple
Highly recommended book about the British underclass by a doctor who have met lots of them.

Brave new world revisited - Aldous Huxley

Will afterwards read,
Sex and culture - J. D. Unwin
From under the rubble - Aleksandr Solzjenitsyn
Rape of the mind - Joost A. M. Meerloo
Propaganda - Edward Bernays

I really enjoyed it. It would help to have some general background on the history of philosophy but if you're reasonably intelligent you can go in blind and still come out the other side with a lot of new knowledge.
There are diagrams in this book. No reason not to read it.

I'm enjoying it. I'm still working my way through the Greek stuff but apparently there are many different versions of the stories (Greek and Roman, different spins on the same story). The author combines different aspects from different authors of the myths and throws in some lines from the actual poems too, but it's mostly prose.
I'm reading it in preparation to read pic related.

...

Great book, did well for me

Dungeon fire and sword.
200 years together
Lawrence of arabia
Warfare in antiquity

I cant just read one, i always got like 3 going.
I recommend dungeon fire and sword, about deus vult and templars but told in a story format. 9/10

I'm on a zen binge right now, so currently reading

>Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
>Zen at Work by les Kaye
>"Turning the Mind Into an Ally"

I can only speak for the first one, as a Catholic I'm really fond of it. Zen as described isn't quite a religion but more of a positive habit.

Have you read this one? I plan to rad it a bit later some day.

If you like Zen, I highly recommend first Prometheus Rising and then Undoing Yourself

Well there are 3 areas that he goes into.

1. Philosophical Core
Talks about how our lives revolve around feelings of power and powerlessness. Basically saying that coping with powerlessness and striving for power is the core of human existence. And he talks about how people who are in wrathful, depressed, hedonistic, ignorant, and "mad" (crazy) states of being are being destructive to life.

2. Our underlying animalistic nature and sexual choices.
Talks about the underlying psychology of sexual orientation and hedonism and how poor sexual choices can fuck up a society, written in pol fashion. Very politically incorrect. Also talks philosophically about how we must be balanced in retaining some animalistic nature and not discarding it, otherwise people end up beta cucks.


3.The construction of a strong society.
Says we must create an agrarian society in which people cooperate economically and socially, with a focus on creating a society in which people feel the wonder of being alive in an unexplored universe. Ends by saying we must explore the cosmos.

That book is the literary version of click-bait.

Nope. Mythology is almost entirely prose versions of the ancient myths themselves. Although it does describe the main characters (gods/demigods) before each chapter. That one looks like it may be a bit more explanatory.

Once you're through with that one check out pic related

Sounds good to me, thanks

>whatabis

They're terrorists.

Thanks for the tip.

You should drop it and read Shelby Foote's trilogy instead.

The actual war in Battle Cry doesn't start until like page 400. The first half is just abolition bullshit.
Like most books in the Oxford History series it glosses over really important shit, while dwelling on insignificant garbage.

Pic related should be required reading for Sup Forums

I'm reading "Borne" by Jeff Vandermeer but can't tell if it's global warming feminist bullshit disguised as sci-fi. Sup Forums has changed me. Summer reading used to be fun.

As for recs: E. Michael Jones is the top Sup Forums author and a must. Culture-Wars.com

99% of sci fi post 1965 is liberal hippie trash.
So if your instinct is telling you that it's bullshit it probably is.

God-tier sci-fi

Yeah, well, I cancelled plan to read Asimov's Foundation series after learning he was ((())), and last summer I read Rendezvous with Rama, and planned to read Childhood's End then I learned Clarke was a pedo fagg0t. I also deleted all my Greg Egan downloads, because I connected his book "Diaspora" to (((them))). So, feels bad man. Just want some cool scifi in the sun.

Long live the great works of marx engels lenin and stalin!

Dead Souls by Gogol
Death in Venice by Mann
Twilight of the Idols by Nietzsche
Faust by Goethe

...

Looking for a good beginners guide to "world history". Most regular school textbooks are really shit. But I want something that can give me an overall view of history.

The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch

I can sum up the title real easy - we didn't do shit, the Jews are pitting us against each other.

Me too, user. Not as dense or as heavy reading as Meditations but lots of good advice

Behold my Satan trips of truth

Long live the great ideas of the Bolshevik party!

It's great for following current politics, opens your eyes to what people are actually up to. It's also good to know this stuff so that when it's being used on you you can recognize it and make better decisions. Also as you come into more power and have to deal with people with power it becomes more relevant. This book won't do much for you personally if you live in your moms boyfriends basement.

You absolutely should not take the history in this book as anywhere near accurate. At best it drastically simplifies a lot of situations and at worst it completely invents things in order to twist events to be relevant. It's pop-history at its laziest.

It's a good tool to get to know your enemy, and what secret machinations others are up to. I agree though you have to be disecerning in deciding what you will use from it. It can turn your life into a very shallow and empty place. I would recommend a pocket book for heroes by baltasar gracien. It's where Robert green stole the best material for power.

That was all

Because I actually give a shit about my heritage and my history
