Not particularly large collection, though how much of it do you enjoy reading, or how much of it expands your thoughts? That's the real purpose of literature.

that doesn't tell me what you think

Isaiah Clark
Literature is merely written works, Gibbons fall of Rome was fine literature and it was just the summation of Rome's decline. Why the west rules for now( a work I highly recommend) is merely looking at the disparity in the civilizations in the east and west, and why their character. Yet it is magnanimous. I was just asking what have those works done for you, have they expanded your mind or brought you joy.
Also Ha-Joon Chang, traitor to the west and your race
Lucas Ward
how is Ha-Joon Chang a traitor to the west and "my race"?
Nathan Phillips
"Kicking Away the Ladder: Development Strategy in Historical Perspective"
an excellent and accurate work describing western attempts at maintaining hegemony. Basically he wants the east to become the world powers
Thomas Cooper
Oh I didn't mean he was a traitor, i meant you were the traitor for reading his works, which advocate the ascendancy of asia
Jaxson Ward
>an excellent and accurate work describing western attempts at maintaining hegemony.
So his description of how the west has held back other nations, which you call excellent and accurate, is traitorous?
And to call for such measures to be ended, is wanting the east to become the world powers?
Wouldn't market economics call that their comparative advantage if it occured on an open and free market without any intervention? :^)

Carter Barnes
It's more than that, the man has served as consultant for many governmental agencies, investing in the east to aid their development, in the long term ending the west's triumph
If it were the private sector doing the investment i wouldn't mind, but he is demanding and causing billions of western tax payer dollars head east for "our former evil deeds" not his exact words but as a jist
Aaron Jones
Interestingly I would never use the word treason for that. I always think of treason in terms of singular nation issues.
Hudson Thompson
Gibbons is a bad joke at any institution honestly I don't know why Sup Forums raves about Fall of Rome. Firstly the idea that it equates to the modern 'decline' of he west is absurd seeing as the West hasn't declined at all and that it bares no similarity whatsoever to the late Roman period. It confirms that 2/3 of Sup Forums is poorly educated and idealistic to the point of sheer ignorance.
Andrew Johnson
It's a small collection but I haven't read any of them, any you recommend cunt?
Christopher Gray
Of course it wouldn't be considered better than dirt at any modern institution. It's ancient built on a variety of poorly based assumptions, has unending bias in it, they couldn't know many other influences that we now know like milankovitch cycles on the environment, and he didn't have proper understanding of psychology. But for it's time it was revolutionary in it's concept, and a great bridge to modern scholarship, I just used it as an example of a work,that tat the time was considered great nonfiction, of how could be considered literature barbecue of it's fine wording.

do you have a degree in security or work in that field? Or something involving international relations.
James Lewis
No, I'm just a self-learning student. I intend to study a related degree at university in a year's time though, so you're not too far off. I find this kind of thing incredibly interesting.
The one I'm reading now, "Insurgency and Counter-Insurgency in Iraq," is a great book. It's the one on the top-right, with a bookmark sticking out of it. I'm trying to understand how groups like ISIS and AQ came about, and this one is the last explicitly non-ISIS book I own on my current reading list. It's generally about the post-Iraq war (2003) situation, and what led to the insurgency there which ultimately ended up creating -- or attracting, rather -- ISIS forces to the area. I'm about a third of the way through.
Before that I read Steve Coll's "Ghost Wars," an excellent book about Afghanistan from the Soviet invasion up to 2001; "The Looming Tower" by Lawrence Wright, a personal narrative about the lives of the people closest to the 9/11 plot, both inside the government and in the terror cell itself, and explores their motivations -- another good book; and finally Jack Fairweather's "The Good War," a look at the most recent coalition war in Afghanistan.
It's a short reading list, I guess, but it'll do for now
Henry Evans
Which oxford classic is that, i have a couple myself, lotta vintage stuff there
Are you a fan of Talleyrand's achievements in foreign statecraft?
I'm assuming you wan't to be an ambassador or maybe work for security analyst, maybe work for pinkerton?
Cooper Fisher
That's a collection? I'm reading more books right now than you have there.
This has to be bait. Saged accordingly.
Caleb Ward
im listening to 8 books on audio simultaneously all on different subjects you FUCKING CASUAL, get the fuck off my lawn cuntwagon, you will never reach my level of literature experience. faggot.
William Turner
I have a wpm of 630. I have no reason to listen to audio.
>various topics at the same time
That's actually wasteful.
Jose Perez
>Which oxford classic is that, i have a couple myself, lotta vintage stuff there
The one on the bottom, right? The white book? That's Herodotus' Histories
>Are you a fan of Talleyrand's achievements in foreign statecraft?
I own a variety of books on the French revolution. I consider it to be a very important time, and the emergence of perhaps the very first terror state in (relatively) modern history. It is of great import to study such a historical period if we wish to understand terror states today. As part of the reading list I have gathered on this time period, I have strived to collect books on people who came after, as well. Talleyrand is one of those people. He's an immensely interesting character, who was remarkably skilled at foreign relations. Am I a fan? Of course. How can anyone not admire such a masterful player of the political game?
>I'm assuming you wan't to be an ambassador or maybe work for security analyst, maybe work for pinkerton?
I'm only vaguely aware of Pinkerton, I haven't heard of them. I know there was a PI agency decades ago, but I thought it was defunct. As for what I'd like to do, I have a few things in mind, but I wouldn't be an ambassador. Not my cup of tea.

applecuck so I know straight away how ignorant you are about everything
Thucydides is literally your only worthwhile author. I would recommend more, but again: You're an applecuck, so information would be totally squandered on you.
