Do I talk about my self-publish book here or make my own thread?
 

Read this Time Travel Erotica a while back. The Inventor of Akkad by Ambrose Amour
 
Books I plan on reading within the next 18 months.
Mein Kampf
King James Bible
The Quran
 
This thread is to discuss books: Either those you have read, will read, wish to read, or recommend others to read.

Enjoy!
 
I dont read any books tbh
 
Have you ever wondered why popular dystopian novels are set in the UK?

It makes you wonder what parallels there are to the real country...
 
Hey, guys. I started reading the Cicero Trilogy. If you like A Song of Ice and Fire and political intrigue and Rome this is a great book.
 

The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction​

Henry T. Greely
You don't need sex to reproduce. Pretty much white-pilled me.
 
I will always recommend the "Classics" (Dante, Homer, Chaucer, Shakespeare, etc.) and certain poets (especially William Blake, Lord Byron, Robert Graves, and Gerard Manley Hopkins), but these are some contemporary novels which have influenced me over my formative years:

Blood Meridian (Cormac McCarthy)
-a brutal revisionist Western set in 1849-1850, following a gang of American scalp hunters working for the Mexican government

American Psycho (Bret Easton Ellis)
-Chad serial killer preys on hapless foids. Very funny, like an 80's slasher movie in book form

From Hell (Alan Moore)
-Jack the Ripper plus Magick and the Occult. Lots of history and lore about the City of London, and lots and lots of gore

The Terror (Dan Simmons)
-great novel about the lost Franklin Expedition which tried to find the Northwest Passage in the 1840's. Includes a scary demonic polar bear

Mariette in Ecstasy (Ron Hansen)
-a young nun experiences stigmata in an erotic and extremely Sapphic novel that cuts to the heart of Roman Catholic mysticism

The Confessions of Nat Turner (William Styron)
-about the Nat Turner slave rebellion of 1831, but here Turner is a hopeless incel who fantasizes about grape

Hawksmoor (Peter Ackroyd)
-about an 18th Century ritual serial killer, written in a Samuel Pepys diary style. Heavily influenced "From Hell"
 
read Brave New World as it's a far more realistic version of what totalitarian oppression is (i.e. rule through pleasuring you and farming dopamine instead of fear) then Island by the same author since he wanted to contrast his dystopia with what he believes to be an utopia.
If you want more totalitarian novels then Kolyma Tales is a great shout since it's based off the author's own experiences in a gulag.
I have bought Fahrenheit 451 and now i'll start reading it.
 
A thread for boobs:feelsahh:
 
I am reading the Three body problem trilogy right now, it's good but Isaac Asimov mogs hard when it comes to sci-fi
 
I recently read "lord of the flies". Interesting, but rather brutal.
 
Anyone here ever read the Poisonwood Bible? I remember that shit from AP Literature lol.
I didn’t have to read it in high school but I read that book when it first came out in 1998. I took AP Literature in 1996 and remember reading Heart of Darkness, Catcher in the Rye, Hamlet, Jane Eyre, and Slaughterhouse-Five.

I recently finished reading The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien. This was on my reading list for a while. I haven’t read much war literature besides some poems like Decorum Et Dulce Est and a couple anti war novels like Slaughterhouse-Five. I really loved it, I see this book being one I reread often. I loved the prose and how surreal it was. The dark humor and absurdity really reminded me of Kurt Vonnegut. Definitely recommend this one!

-A Song of Ice and Fire. (ER approved)
-A confederacy of dunces (currently reading this. 30 something year old dude living with his mother in new Orleans, has autism, is sort of red pilled/mgtow, copes by being an intelectual)
 
I recommend the Myth of Sisyphus by Camus and also At the Heights of Despair by Cioran. Once you realize how absurd life is, you stop taking it as seriously. One thing I refuse to do, though, is end up homeless.
 
was bored at work so i read bout 40 pages of the brothers karamazov

kinda a slow burn but it started getting interesting past page 20

tryna fixed my cooked attention span by bookmaxxing lol

Currently reading. Don’t have time to watch the Ken Burns documentary, didn’t know as much as I should about the time period. Already learned a lot, didn’t know we tried to invade Canada.

Classroom of the Elite.
If you want to read, then fan translations since it's intentionally butchered by translators in the west.
 
Its probably been recommended before but whatever by Michel Houellebecq is an essential for incels to read. In my opinion much better than the movie because it trades out that stupid cliche unrealistic ending for something more blackpilled (or whitepilled depending on how you look at it)
 
Up to Book 22 of the Dragonheart series by Griff Hosker.

"
A Dragonheart is born!
Book One in the Dragonheart series.
A young Saxon boy and his mother are captured in a Viking raid. Fate transforms his destiny and, thanks to an ageing one-armed warrior, he wins his freedom and becomes one with the Vikings. Clan rivalries force Dragonheart and his new Jarl to sail the seas searching for a new home. Landing on the Isle of Man they must fight for their very survival with enemies old and new seeking their destruction.
A gripping tale filled with action and adventure set in the early years of the ninth century."
 
Unpin this thread, books are not ideal :feelsUgh:
 
Do you guys read physical books or do you read them on electronic devices, if it's the second choice do you have a e-reader or do you read them on your PC.

The last book I read was Stephen King's "The Long Walk" it was good and tragic, would've liked another ending though.
 
The tunel from ernesto sabato, you can really resonate with the alienation of the protagonist
 
I have $170 in book vouchers from old academic awards :feelshmm:
