08664e No.3

General discussion on what books should be on the next poll. Personally, I'd like to read Marcus Aurelius' Meditations.

2ae1a2 No.5

I'll propose Bukowski's 'Ham on Rye', or 'Women' for that one. Fiction, but the guy was always incredibly based.

08664e No.6

Duly noted. I'll be sure to put them on a poll next week. Discussion and voting were a bit rushed for this last poll, but I wanted the idea to get off the ground before it died. I want to have a week of book ideas followed by a week of voting. I also realize that I put 'Ham on Rye' and 'Women' on the same line in the poll. I'm sorry about that. It was a drunken decision.

Leviathan, maybe?

08664e No.8

>>7
I like Hobbes. I think anyone who supports a more totalitarian government should have Leviathan under their belt.

I propose we try to keep the choices within the /pol/'s recommended reading selection for a while.

08664e No.10

>>9
I don't want to limit what we read or not. I'll draw from all suggestions, and everyone will vote. With that being said, I fully expect books from /pol/'s reading list to win out for awhile.

303037 No.12

I wanna read Heroes, Rogues, and Lovers

08664e No.13

>>12
Seems like an interesting read.

2ae1a2 No.14

>>12
That genuinely sounds interesting.

08664e No.15

>>12
I'm seriously curious. I don't want to read the book yet, but this may send on a 5 hour long quest to see the data on this subject.

2ae1a2 No.16

>>15
Same, if it wasn't so late in my timezone.

How about "Morning Crafts" by Tito Perdue
It was in the ironpill recommended reading torrent, but the folder was empty because the guy who put it together couldn't find a digital copy of it.

8ea69b No.18

Walden by Henry David Thoreau

Both essays Self Reliance & Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson

08664e No.19

>>17
Iron pill is always interesting
>>18
transcendentalism is cool. Nature should be respected.

How about "Bolshevism From Moses to Lenin" by Dietrich Eckart, founder of the German Worker's Party. There's a copy of it on archive.org.

ac980e No.25

Gonna throw my hat in on this one, despite feeling well outside my cultural depth in this context: Rushdie's The Satanic Verses.

10b9d7 No.26


08664e No.28


10b9d7 No.30


618cf3 No.33

Anyone down for some Nietzsche or Evola?

We should start essay reading groups too. It would increase involvement and traffic.

618cf3 No.34

You are a fucking prince.

08664e No.35

Unfortunately i don't have much free time and just the book is eating up a lot of it. I have no problem with you starting an essay group here. Hell, I'll even make you a volunteer so you can moderate essay discussions better.

a6ab5e No.36

Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman,
Fightclub by Chuck Palanhiuck,
The Gay Science, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, or The Will to Power, by Nietzsche,
If you have the stomach for it, Being And Time by Heidegger,
Time and Western Man by Wyndham Lewis
The collected works of TS Eliot (not sure if /pol/ reads poetry, but /pol/ should), in particular The Waste Land, The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock, and the Hollow Men,
Super Sad True Love Story by some jew whose name I forgot, but very good commentary on the direction the US is heading,
The Better Angels of our Nature, Steven Pinker,
Plato's Republic, Ion, and Apology,
Kierkagaard's Fear and Trembling.

All of these are very good, and anyone of intellect on /pol/ should enjoy them.

a6ab5e No.37

>>30
I'm glad to see A History of God on that list. I am reading through it currently and it is quite good.I'm looking forward to reading Fields of Blood soon

If we need additional voluntary moderation I'd love to help, but for now I'm content reading and discussing.

a6ab5e No.66

the souls of black folk should be a priority, actually, because it offers a very good criticism of white liberal sjw involvement in the "improvement" of black people's lives.

09d3fb No.77

The history of banking that is
