The Audacity of Hope by that nigger.
objectively
Lolita is the only real answer here.
>books
>2016
top fucking lel
people give me strange looks when i read
just watch clips from documentaries on youtube on one monitor and play hearthstone on the other
a real page turner
and ass burner
Is book another word for thread?
I love that book
Do Androids Dream
I learned a lot from Lil B's biography and have since then learned to respect all African-American rappers because of the struggles they go through in their life
Been reading the foundation series by Asimov
Gibbon's Decline and Fall
...
This was expected coming from that barbarian Turkish land.
favorite non fiction: My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers
favorite fiction: The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Lolita
Brothers Karamazov
t. northern turkey
I'm not particularly well-read, and this recommendation is only loosely Sup Forums-related, but the entire Asian Saga by James Clavell is a good read.
It's interesting to compare how he treats the different cultures from book to book
Karl Marx tier shit.
BORING
Joke's on you, I am a Moldavian.
Catcher in the Rye
t. north-eastern turkey
anything by borges
Blood Meridian
Modernist cuisine i like food and sometimes politics are tiresome
...
HG Well's outline of history.
He's a filthy commie but it's so well written.
Gorilla Mindset by Cernovich
Lord of the flies
Harry potter and the half blood prince
...
A Confederacy of Dunces
Ignatius is literally Sup Forums personified.
Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, well worth a read considering Gibbon's thesis and when you consider what is argued is happening to the West on here.
unmm the one I probably enjoyed reading most was Candide, but the one that touched me the most was Gilgamesh.
Flow my Tears the policeman said
we have the best sci-fi fans don't we folks
I really liked the Clash of Civilizations and the Rebuilding of World Order by Sam Huntington. Really made me worry for the future, though.
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and The Plot Against the Church are the most important political books I've read but also I like mangoes about cute girls doing cute things
Brutal.
The Illuminatus! Trilogy
definitely prepared me for these past few years
loving it.
Hermann Hesse - Demian
Agreed. Shogun is one of my all-time favorites
Have you read Whirlwind? It's not as good of a story, but it's interesting how much different he writes muslims compared to asians
The book I have enjoyed most was Eugene Rosenstock-Huessey's "Out of Revolution: Autobiography of the Western Man".
The book I am the most happy I have read is probably Karl Popper's "Conjectures and Refutations". It totally changed the way I think.
No, I've only read gaijin, tai-pan, and king rat
thoughts on war and peace?
Dante's Inferno
Just finished The Republic by Plato.
How faggy am I scale 1-10?
Roadside picnic.
That depends. Do you think musicians should be jailed for praising love in an unrealistic way, thus making single people depressed?
Thanks for the recommendation, Mike.
You've read the best ones then. Whirlwind is interesting for the reason I've already mentioned, and Noble House isn't as good as the others because it's set in more modern times, but if you like James Clavell's style it's still a good read.
Alpha Bet
...
I'm a muso myself (private, not performer), but I say we hear enough about love and fucking, really don't have the fucks for it.
Non-fiction: Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by Nick Bostrom
Fiction: No idea, this is much more subjective to me so I can't say.
I meant to ask if you agree with Plato about making it illegal for myths, songs, stories and so on to represent reality in an unrealistic or otherwise unfavorable way.
Stories about a brother killing his sibling out of jealousy can introduce to the mind of citizens the idea of doing that themselves. Stories of war gets people thinking of war.
If you read The Republic you would've noticed Plato insisting that no such stories are allowed in his perfect society. He mandates absolute censorship.
A bit cliche
Fahrenheit 451
Should be recommended reading. Made me realise why the Armenians did so well after the fall of the Soviet Union, and how close we have come to nuclear war in the past.

Wat
Red Storm Rising
I kind of do like the whole freedom of speech thing, but the record industry pushes the sex/love angle far too hard.
I'd not be down with the censorship, but not down with the one-track mind of the industry either.
1984
...
I would say it's a waste of time. I would rather read Dostoyevsky. My favourite is Demons.
>Demons is an allegory of the potentially catastrophic consequences of the political and moral nihilism that were becoming prevalent in Russia in the 1860s
> 'Demons' refers not to individuals who act in various immoral or criminal ways, but rather to the ideas that possess them: non-material but living forces that subordinate the individual (and collective) consciousness, distorting it and impelling it toward catastrophe (materialism, socialism, anarchism, nihilism, and, underlying them all, atheism)
