"showing off"? I don't know any of you fucks, I'm not trying to look cool; I'm anonymous.
u jelly?

you're trying to look cool for yourself because you are insecure
Sharing a list of books isn't trying to "look cool", user. Though, you must think I'm cool, since you're projecting. Good list of books, no?

You are just retarded. If you actually matured, you would easily see the vanity and stupidity of mass media.

We knew you were retarded when we read your favourite books lol
reference manuals & practical how-to books. NO FICTION OF ANY KIND
>Book Theif
enjoyed the movie

decent, but to be read with the most fictional mindset you can get into
>Catcher in the Rye
Good.
>And guess what faggits I'm still retarded the amount of books your read doesn't amount it is why
No, it's about what you get out of them.
Oh fuck I just thought we were posting what books we read not our favorties I fucking hate reading
Okay man. There is no point in arguing with you. Just keep to your comic book crap and adventure novels for kids.
>Art of War
Fucking hate this book. It's common-sense beyond belief; I will never understand why it's so popular.
>If you're enemy is stronger, and has way more men than you, don't attack!
No fucking shit.
Overall, yeah, you're pretty fucking stupid.
Got a good chunk on kindle, I don't buy tho. I just download .mobi files
Check out Joe Abercrombie's (adult) series and Richard K. Morgan's The Cold Commands / The Dark Defiles / The (something something) series. Two levels of fantasy higher than what you have listed, objectively.

Agreed but perhaps if I were to read for entertainment I would be way more enthralled/absorbed into the book than if I were to read a book for school or something. I would likely get the entirety of the book if I were to be reading because I wanted compared to it being assigned to me
The Watchmen series of DiscWorld novels
*the dice man - Luke rhinehart
*the sell - Fredrik eklund
*Pause/Play -Yesim Bilgic
*Long Hard Road out of Hell - Marilyn Manson
I fucking said that I thought we were just posting books we read it is certainly not my favorite considering I played RTS games since a child I am aware
Yeah, I can't read shit if I'm told to. It's like being with friends, and they put on a movie you have no interest in, like Fast and Furious #54. Fuck that shit. I'd rather just get the summary online, or watch a video describing it.

ill always remember this one because i had a 2nd shift job at the time and never even said hello to my co-workers.
i would sometimes walk down long dark corridors (only lit by the moonlight) behind a female coworker and feel pretty creepy after reading the book during break.
Definitely, who doesn't?
I don't think I'll ever understand B&T; gave that up awhile ago.
>phenomenology of perception
Haven't read.

Great read. In particular, I found it interesting when Socrates talks about the "true philosopher", having such knowledge he "has got rid of eyes, ears, and the whole body." I.E. he's just a mind, essentially. It reminded me of the DMT documentary I watched, where they basically described the DMT trip as that of Socrates' philosopher.

I feel great, honestly. Glad you guys admire the books I've listed. Feels good :^)
now picture the chubby creepy guy at work who never talks to anyone is walking behind you in a long lonely dark hallway...holding a book with this cover.

It's hard to pick favorites, but I will say that dropping $200 everytime I walk into a bookstore is a huge pain in the wallet.
>doesnt read just has a bookshelf to look cool
Who the fuck thinks having a bookshelf full of books is cool? Its like the nerdiest shit you can do.

Ignore them, user. Jealous retards that don't read.
Same here, though. :/ But, I never regret it, honestly. Books are the one thing I can buy and be happy with. It's way better than spending $200 at a bar, at least.

Rating because rates get rates, I'm GOAT but I liked the Shy Little Kitten better
These are all fantastic and I thought about naming several but then my list would be too long.
It's a little juvenile at parts but you might like the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks.
Discworld is great, I can't believe I forgot to list it.
You have good taste.
Also I guess I should list that most of my bookshelf is RPG rulebooks.
I don't "read" much anymore, now I've got two kids under age eight, but I still consume a lot of literature through audiobooks. Some people are purists and say that's a garbage way to get your books, but when I don't have the time to sit down and read, having a book on while I cook or am out shopping/errand running is great.

You mean The Outsiders?

Not spending money on books doesn't mean i don't have it... It simply means I don't use it on books, m8.

No-read guy here. I simply prefer more efficient means of being told a story or learning about something than books... Try describing a sound using only text and no one will know what it truly sounds like... And people tell me the "use your immagination" bullshit... I could either do that or just hear the fucking sound and be done with it, then go and do something useful and more fun for me like cooking or improving on a skill...
>I don't think I'll ever understand B&T; gave that up awhile ago.
>>phenomenology of perception
>Haven't read.
if being and time resists you give the phenomenology of perception by merleau-ponty a try. He's a french philosopher who explored heidegger's philosophy within the purview of the 'lived body'. He basically uses all of Heidegger's insight in Being and Time and draws it out with practical examples/applications. His work on the phantom limb is some of the best philosophy I have ever read.
