Fucking this, Peterson speaks common sense but he isn't some glorious fucking messiah. Read some David Irving, Mein Kampf (Both parts) Oswald Mosley's biography and world war Z by Max Brooks. (It's not particularly red pilled but it is rather fun).
Just picked up Mein Kampf (2017 Dalton translation). It's uncannily relevant to current year, almost like reading a playbook for the past decade.
Ryan Hall
Read the beginning of the softspoken end (over a lilac pool debrised with dildos and KFC buckets) out of the glorified pages out of the womb of your mother's mother's mother's mother's daughter. Look into the stars and know you dropped out of Venus into these derelict forests where the reptiles stomp and your mother coos for TRex dick. Fresh out of the volatile Venus mists you dropped glistening Hyperborean. But now look at you. Poisoning the Earth with your poisoned Venus blood. Look at how we would have been without you. A fierce African storm shitting lightning drifts on a soft moist breeze hence. You feel the Earth in the air and know it is not yours. You are Venus feces. Begone.
Bentley Perry
Is that you Lucretius?
Carter Sanders
saw this yesterday. Make of it what you will.
Elijah Myers
I am a fierce starchild proficient in Lucretius but not obliged. Find me in the skies streaking westwards towards the A24 6(twench) which is beyond your pitiful marble's comprehension at this epoch.
Elijah Bell
This needs to be more widely read.
Michael Sanchez
>world war Z by Max Brooks. (It's not particularly red pilled but it is rather fun). Thing about WWZ is Max Brooks gives his characters all the same voice. None of them sound like individuals with their dialogue, they all just sound like Max Brooks doing different impressions. "Here's Brooks trying to sound like a British historian". "Okay, now here's Brooks trying to sound like a Japanese neet turned samurai monk".
Mind you, they are of course all characters being written by the same guy, but good authors don't make it obvious.

Barely coherent I see! But I am a dick if I do not barbless my own! Seeguei like a tower blinking bluely in the gentle Newzonea summer air. Keep to your bounce and vibrate on smooth as a grindstone. Kuda!

You should always be reading books from all kinds of authors. It'll give you more firm grounding in what you believe and be able to understand how your opponents think.
Wyatt Morris
Mein Kampf should always be the first read. Tells you all the problems with capitalism and communism. Explains how Jews manipulate cultures and media.
Brandon Phillips
Because you're overdoing it. And you can drown your dog with your homo parce.
Brandon Thompson
Wow 1p Kuda but this will go over their heads. Pretentious shit to speak in our own lexicon. Why even come here and do that.

>1984 Pretty decent, make sure to read Brave new world too >animal farm Ok, anti totalitarian/stalins, but pro-communism, >art of war Waste of time
Since your just starting out for fiction just read some of the classics, for non fiction read books that give you a good summary of important events in history. I think it's better to first get a good sense of the comminalities between the causes of major events rather than the specific details of only one. It's surprising how similar General politics from 3000 years ago are to nowadays in many ways
David Roberts
Fuck all that. Start with the Greeks and romans. Move from there.
David Friedman - The Machinery Of Freedom Scott Horton - Fool's Errand Thaddeus Russell - A Renegade History of the United States

Before you deep dive into theology you should definitely read some Plato.
Michael Wood
This. >I already bought 1984, Animal Farm and The Art of War. I will get The Gulag Archipelago trilogy at some point down the line. >whats Trump's next best book This better be bait.
Michael Richardson
Read Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.
Colton Reyes
Literally garbage. Only a handful of those are ever with reading.
Connor Watson

Grayson Clark
Books like WWZ just make me think how antiquated literature is in terms of entertainment. There's literally no reason to make anything but history, science, or philosophy into literature anymore because it could be better done via audiobook or film.
I think even Socrates said that literature is fundamentally flawed. I wonder what he would think of audiobooks, and visual media.
Ryan Wright
Why would I start with Mein Kampf when Hitler wanted to kill slavs and I have no issue with slavs at all? I can't tell where the propaganda really starts and ends with Hitler, but if he indeed did have the goal of killing all slavs regardless of IQ or genotype, why would you support him?
Aaron Hill
why don't you actually see if you can finish reading ONE book before buying a whole stack. During the course of reading you will find you want to know more about whatever theme
Ethan Smith
it'a all me and my friends talk about at work
Ayden Davis
I've read dozens of books. Mostly fiction, with some non-fiction and a lot of war hero biographies, and a few books considered classics like Malcolm X's autobio, and Anne Frank's diary... This is my first jump into political books though... aside from reading about half of Crippled America a few years ago...
Ethan Green
>done better on audio book >audio >book Nigger are you actually retarded?
Cooper Kelly
I've read WWZ... I think. I've read so many fiction booKs I'm not even sure if I have. Yeah, nvm, I definitely have read WWZ. I remember thinking it was okay. More entertaining than the movie at least. I'd recommend The Racketeer..
Tyler Moore
An audiobook is a hugely different format to an actual book.
When you write something it's beneficial to construct it differently then when you write an oral story or speech.
Nathaniel Powell
This. Read something technically useful to your life. Self-help is liberal cancer. Read the true classics of western canon (including the bible, even if you don't give a fuck about religion) if you want some literature to pad it all out.

There is no essential reading list but I'll give you my core curriculum young man
Nonfiction >The Art of War by Sun Tzu >The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli >Class: A Guide Through the American Status System by Paul Fussell
Fiction >Dune by Frank Herbert >House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski >The entire collection of Lovecraft
You should naturally bear in mind that 1) this is just my opinion, and 2) I've read many books other than these over the years and so should you

Saw the film a while back. Loved it. Is the book much better?
Chase Thomas
The book is amazing. A real Debbie downer, but amazing none the less.
Evan Powell
Eh.
Cormac McCarthy has better books than this, especially in the sense that you're reading them to improve your world view. If you want to know how brutal humans really can be, read Child of God. If you want a metaphorical horror story, read No Country for Old Men. If you want a really good classic American novel that """really makes you think""" read Blood Meridian. The Road is a mix of all of these but the fame comes form the shock factor rather than the actual message. Movie studios won't ever touch Child of God.
Jace Ramirez
Never even heard of those books but they seem interesting.... they're not really what I'm looking for at this moment though...
Ryder Harris
the book is terrible
it reads like a Dick and Jane book
Connor Miller
Anyone else find it's harder to focus when reading on a kindle as opposed to a hard copy? I used to be able to easily sit down and read through hundreds of pages of a good novel, but I open a book on my kindle and I don't really even get into what I'm reading, I don't know.. maybe I'm just not very interested in what I'm reading.
Gavin Young
that move literally destroyed me
the scene where the cannibal gang was keeping people in the basement, taking their limbs off one at a time and leaving them alive for later.. the absolute depravity of desperate, hungry people terrifies me
thats why anyone LARPing about wanting some collapse/SHTF/accelerationalist scenario is absolutely insane. only the most animalistic people would persevere
Anthony Perry
>Movie studios won't ever touch Child of God.
>Film adaptation[edit] Main article: Child of God (film) In February 2012, James Franco began shooting a film adaptation of Child of God in Hillsboro, West Virginia.[5] The film stars Scott Haze as Lester Ballard and Jim Parrack as the Sevier County lawman Deputy Cotton.[6] The movie was selected to be screened in the official competition at the 70th Venice International Film Festival and was an official selection of the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. The film received mixed to negative reviews, holding a rating of 38% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The critical consensus states: "An obviously reverent adaptation that fails to make a case for the source material being turned into a movie, Child of God finds director James Franco outmatched by Cormac McCarthy's novel."[7]
Jeremiah Wood
Jesus you are far behind. Yes read Orwell, that's baby stuff but necessary to understand, so get it over with, >humanbiologicaldiversity.com/ Read the Ford translation dummy. Also don't forget James Manson AKA Chadson's Helter Skelter
>Read some David Irving, Mein Kampf (Both parts) Oswald Mosley's biography
Jaxson Moore
Don't hoard, just read what you have already bought.
Jacob Cooper
It might be above your level though.
Cooper Rogers
Read Thump
Andrew Rogers
pace yourself. sprinkle some fluff between redpills. too much too fast it is liking taking your vitamins on an empty stomach, youll just end up shitting half of it out without absorbing the value you were looking for when you chose to make the effort.
youre looking to construct a temple that is your soul. that takes a lifetime, not a year.
Carter James
That's the translation I want but can't find an affordable version online. They're all like 40 bucks new, and I can't find any at all on Ebay. I already have the ebook version but like I said, I hate reading books on any screen.
David Roberts
Orwell's other great book is Homage to Catalonia
Jaxson Martinez
Peterson's book recommendations are pretty good and many are part of the western canon. Every Sup Forumsack should definitely read Notes From the Underground.
Kayden Martinez
>brave new world too agreed >pro-communism meh >waste of time yeah, no. Art of War is a must read unless you have a bunch of way better suggestions for game theory books, I'd love to hear them.
Ryan Perry
If you haven't read Revolt Against the Modern Man, you're not a Sup Forumsack. You're a ledditor. >game theory books, How about wikipedia article on game theory? Especially Nash Equilibrium.
Jackson Barnes
This is a decent book, but hardly relevant to Sup Forums. It's a 100 % fictional story.
