I'm reading this at the moment.
It is. Reign of Quantity is even better.
Guenon turned my life around. Before him i was losing myself into the mires of the far-right and the world of Evola, Otto Weininger and Nietzscheans like Jonathan Bowden, but Guenon pulled me out of it and directed me towards the path to true tradition, all though my favored author of the Perennialist school is Fritjof Schuon.
Is Guenon really that good?
Depends what you are looking for.
The domain of Guenon is that of pure metaphysics, which as far as i'm concerned is the highest intellectual science there is, and even though i was already getting there thanks to Plato it was through Guenon that i discovered this kind of discipline, which is "intellectual" in a real sense (while western philosophy from the Renaissance onward is mostly a waste of time, an art for art's sake if there ever was one).
If you are looking for polemics though, he is probably not going to be your guy. The works of Guenon revolve entirely around first principles, he only deals with the effects when he has to use examples to explain the principles in question. There's some elements of his work that are a bit dubious but that's only because he was a pioneer who found his way towards the traditional doctrines and sciences by trial and error. He believed for instance that Buddhism was a false path, but eventually recanted that opinion.
Didn't he convert to sufism?
Yes. Guenon had come to the belief the path could only be obtained by means of an initiation. He spend much of his youth attempting to find such a thing both within Catholicism and outside of it. He jumped from esoteric group to esoteric group and ended up finding them all false. He eventually encountered Hindu metaphysics and for the first time he felt he had discovered what he was looking for, and his first choice was to become an Hindu but the caste system preventing him from doing so, and the next alternative he found was Sufism, which back then was still more or less intact as a tradition.
Later authors relented a bit on the question of initiation, especially when it came to Christianity and Buddhism, since neither of those religions have a clearly defined "esoteric" school like one finds in Judaism, Islam or Hinduism, but in each initiation is actually present as a "virtual" possibility even when there is no explicit initiatory tradition, but when he became a Muslim he had no idea that was the case. He also didn't know that there was a branch of Christianity that hadn't been corrupted yet by modernism, I.E., eastern Orthodoxy. Some argue that if he knew he might have become Orthodox instead, but i personally doubt it, because the path he was looking for is what in Hinduism is known as "Jnana", the path of knowledge, where as Christianity is mostly a "Baktha", a path of love.
On Pain by Ernst Jünger
Pretty short, more like an essay then a book though.

I’ve been thinking about giving the original “Frankenstein” a read. It seems interesting. Anyone here read it?
As for books I have read:
I really liked “The Voyage of The Beagle.” Effectively Charles Darwin’s journal. Historical figures, especially great minds, are often presented as larger than life and beyond us, and it really humanized Darwin for me to read this.
My AP Lit teacher very accurately described this one as “A very important book to read, but you’ve got to do it before you’re a fully formed adult, or you’ll realize it’s garbage.” Stranger in A Strange Land. The christ imagery is over the top, the author basically inserts himself into the story in Jubal, a character almost identical to The Professor in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Jubal rams the point of the book into your head in case you’re too retarded to get it on your own. I originally found a copy in my dad’s room when I was 12. Read it once. Liked it then.
Homo Deus. Read this one over the summer. Was an interesting read. Can’t say I agreed with everything in it, since my book is full of scrawled annotations (basically me arguing with a book.)
On a side note, who else is scared shitless by 1984’s room 101 scene? I specially remember being pressed up against a filing cabinet and nearly screaming during the part where they shocked his brain.

The GoT books are pretty good. But the show is trash but you already know that
Reads me. XD
I just took this screen shot from chapter 11 of a book I'm just about finished.
It's called - The Boy Who Was Raised By a Dog
Author - Dr Bruce Perry
the title is kinda stupid, but it's a brilliant book about child psychology / trauma and a variety of case studies. It makes a lot of sense if you like this sort of stuff.

Ya I got the audio book for Homo Deus. I really enjoyed it. Even kinda scary at times. It's very imaginative with concepts of nano-technology and shit but it all seems like very real possibilities and very dehumanizing. With a view of humans like computers that are just running algorithms.

I'm reading Dune currently.
A big literally novel about the birth of modern India. Book involves the fantastical (telepathy, magical powers) but the first person narration makes it possible that the narrator could be full of shit. In any case I'd rather enjoyed it and it was my first Rushdie read. It's a tome but it's an engrossing one.
I read the sample page from "The Reformation of Stacy."
There's no way the author Clea Kinderton is a real foid. It has to be an IT tranny that just wanted to write an elaborate fanfic. The writing is just too masculine. Look at this other garbage this tranny wrote:

Intercourse by Andrea Dworkin.
One of my favorite authors is Edward Abby. He was like a environmentalist/anarchist/naturalist. If you like the outdoors and freedom you might like him.
I recommend :
Monkey Wrench Gang
Desert Solitaire

Fully automated luxury communism, fascinating stuff to read
recently finished hounds of the Baskerville and a few other sherlock Holmes stories
they're a cosy read, not great literature of course, he prose is limited and the stories themselves are quite formulaic, repetitive and cliche but still comfy reads

I just finished "A Savage War of Peace" by Alistair Horne. It's about the French war in Algeria, how the paras coup d'état failed, and the exploits of the OAS (the best part). Would recommend to any boogaloo/prepper/history fag.
For anyone interested in Islam: The man in the red underpants, A.R. Green
