Brain confusion brah.
>>36446178
People often don't realize that the hard part is choosing which book is good to read, not the reading itself.
Guns, Germs, and Steel
Harry Potter 1-7
I was reading true at first light by Ernest Hemingway
It's good, I'd recommended it
Right now I'm reading the shining
I am legend
The forever war
I am legend was a pretty shallow read but it was good anyway.
I thought the forever war was going to be a faggy antithesis to starship troopers but it was pretty based tbqh
Any /scifi/ bros in here?
>>36448130
I'm currently on 3 books
1. Spice and Wolf LN Volume 6
2. The Adolescent by Fyodor Dostoesvky
3. The Ancient Maya: 8th Edition
Needless to say, I hav
Yukio Mishima's Thirst for Love.
It's not a good Mishima novel though.
This week 4 Chekhov's collections. 20 books this year. Right now reading Žižeks Lacrimae rerum and for the next week I took Gulag Archipelago part I by fuck his name, Kafka´s In the Penal Colony, som short stories I think by Egon Bondy
>>36448130
>Guns, Germs, and Steel
Everything in that book is false.

Go away. Your trip should be banned for being perpetually off-topic. When was the last time you even posted anything vaguely fitness related? Go away and don't come back. Trips are trash and you're trash too, not because you have specific political views or idealisms, but because you are a special brand of annoying and are either deluded so much you think you can change the world by posting on a Vietnamese cartoon image board or spending hours upon hours doing an elaborate troll, both of which are pathetic. Not to mention you're breaking the rules.

Self-Compassion - by Kristin Neff
Read recently (Last month or so)
100 Years of Solitude by G.G.Marquez
Anna Karenina by F.Dostoevskij
Othello by W.Shakespeare
GOAT books honestly, would recommend
>>36448425
I like Forever War,could read it over and over again. Also read The Demolished Man and The Stars my Destination (Tiger!Tiger!), both by Alfred Bester. Rogue Moon by Algis Budrys is also pretty nice. ANd read Hyperion Chant
I've always wanted to write a /fit/ book but I have shitty grammar and vocabulary
>>36449726

A Pale View of Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro
The Practice of Concern by John Traphagan
>>36449603
>Le objective taste may may
Though I will agree that Jared Diamond is an absolute joke, especially within the anthropological community.
Just finished Locke Lamora, holy shit it was so good
/fit/ /lit/ dual national monitoring this thread.
top recommendation: et tu, babe by mark leyner - essentially a combination of the navy seal and my name is john copypastas with schwarzenegger film-level insanity.
i'll post a few short story collections later tonight if anyone's interested.
Anything by Lena Dunham is worth the read
>>36446178
I typically read two books at a time. One is a classic, I've been on a binge of epic poems lately and the other is something political or philosophically related.
Right now, I'm reading The Divine Comedy and Atlas Shrugged since I never read it in high school like most fags. That should hold me off for at least a month or two, then I'm going to start working on Human Action by Mises and probably Aeneid.
Currently reading:
Rebel Buddha by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
Shadow Men by Anthony Napoleon
The Truth by Neil Strauss
No More Mr. Nice Guy by Robert Glover
The Truth is highly entertaining. The story, whether its true or not, is fun to read. Would recommend any of these books.
I also just finished The Type Z Guide to Success, Tribes, 48 Laws of Power, and Kitchen Confidential.
>not reading men without women by Hemingway
Its like you don't even want gains.
Also south of the border west of the sun is fantastic for any bros recently single and lost.
At the moment reading heart of darkness pretty good tbqh famil

Why do people care what this twat emma watson thinks? She played a fucking wizard in a children's movie. Plus she's a fucking feminist.

If you're a successful woman who leans to the left of the political spectrum in today's society, you are essentially a goddess among mortals that should be respected and revered by all. Nothing you say or do can be construed as wrong and anyone who even hints that you could possibly be incorrect is immediately branded as a misogynist.

>>36450218
How did it help you personally if you dont mind me asking?
>>36450171
Not incredibly far into it, but I'm definitely enjoying it. I read The Fountainhead and I really like Rand's writing style. I'm not exactly an Objectivist, but I do enjoy her perspective. Rand gets a lot of shit from the left these days, but honestly, I get the feeling that most people that insult Rand so heavily really haven't actually taken the time to read anything she wrote.

>>36450258
Learned to not sweat the small stuff. That I am a part of nature and I have a role to play just like any part. That I will die eventually and I don't want to die with regret.

Reading this in between school shit.
I haven't read a book in about 3 years. Everything is either airport pulp novel trash or pseudo-intellectual masturbatory material.
>>36450611
It's obviously better from an intellectual standpoint. A Streetcar... was more of a source of entertainment for me before I went to bed.
I'm currently reading Monkey Business, a very informative book. It's about the investment banking world.

What specifically would be childish about reading and appreciating a classic novel that represents a 20th century political theory?
>>36450434
>>36451522
Just to add more to my point, I'm not an existentialist or absurdist, but I sure as hell can appreciate the works of Sartre and Camus. You don't have to agree with absolutely everything that you read, but it takes a hell of a lot more maturity to at least entertain different perspectives. I would argue that if you jut reject Ayn Rand outright just because you might not agree with everything she had to say, then mentally, you're the child, not me.

Reading just makes you even more autist, just watch tv, sports and shit.
t. someone who regreted reading too much and had no social life
I would be like Don Quixote by now if i kept reading as many books as i didi when i was younger
>>36450690
Well I'm doing my professor's problem sets, but I've got Binney & Skinner and Chandrasekhar's books. And no, I really cannot be bothered to take pictures.
>>36450797
oh i just thought it was a better read in general... i preferred the glass menagerie to streetcar as far as tenessee williams plays go, but i'm not a huge fan of reading plays (i like oscar wilde's plays though) so if you've never read that one you might appreciate it
i have a hard time with business books, concentration and whatnot, which is weird cuz i can read darwin's plant books no problem and those are dry as fuck...

Reading The Unfettered Mind by Takuan Soho. Also reading the Kyudo Manual: Principles of Shooting (I am currently learning).
Re-reading the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius and the Handbook of Epictetus, because they are worth reading, again and again.

h-how do you do this?

it helps that i write and play guitar too though... cute bookstore chicks love that shit
reading fiction doesn't make you smarter.
>>36455023
I read fiction for entertainment though
Reading about breeding horses
>>36455023
Nor does reading non-fiction. Intelligence and knowledge are two separate things, anon.
>>36450774
I bet you watch tv though.
>Ancient Greece: From Prehistoric to Hellenistic Times by Thomas Martin
Very fun read if you're into history.
Moved onto
>Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values by Robert Pirsig
Sorta boring, but I'll finish it off.
Next will be
>Peace and War by Joe Haldeman, aka The Forever War trilogy
I wanted to read that first before I move onto Starship Troopers.
>>36455023
it gives you more topics to speak about, broadens your vocabulary, you learn appreciation for an art form, it can promote creativity, it can give you more of an insight into people and life in other places (read any a hubert selby's junior's books and you get a really good idea of life in brooklyn for example), it exposes you to other people's views of their culture (reading bridge over the river kwai was interesting even though i didn't like the book, mostly just cuz i'm american and growing up with american war movies it was weird to see another take on a war story written by someone from another country... or almost transparent blue which was similar to less than zero in a lot of ways, but rather than being american it was japanese so certain things were shown differently)
it's not about knowing more facts... it's about exposing yourself to other perspectives, ways of thinking, and art...
and disregarding all of that it's also about entertainment and enjoyment... nothing wrong with entertainment just for the sake of it, though with that comes an opportunity for conversation... so, it's valuable in that sense...
nonfiction is good in other ways, and really reading both is better than only reading one...
i guess it's subjective whether or not you think any of that shit has any value, but whatever
anyway... people don't really get any smarter than they are... they get less ignorant, wiser, more knowledgeable etc but they don't get any smarter...
>>36455023
It forces the brain to learn new vocabulary, develop comprehension and create entire worlds instantaneously based on a few words on a page. It's one of the most beneficial things you can do to keep your brain strong and healthy.
It is proven to improve cognitive function, regardless of whether it's fiction or not.
>>36455342
starship troopers is just alright... it's a little dry and politic heavy (which you may or may not appreciate), but it's fairly well written and interesting enough
i would read another one of heinlein's books, but i haven't wanted to so badly that i have yet and it's been years since i read it
nothing about it stood out enough for me to remember it well either come to think of it, but read it anyway
i'd rather watch the movie personally cuz it's great mindless entertainment and the chick who plays dizzy is hot
The book of five rings
Ham on rye
River of doubt
>>36446178
I used to read a lot of /lit/ tier stuff, classics and allegorical books and "important" nooks and the like. Now I still read a lot, but I typically read pretty simplistic genre fiction, horror and suspense novels, or capital C Classics, as in ancient history and archaeology textbooks and non fiction. Reading is fun and good for you, but don't get sucked into the elitism that follows some young people who read a lot.

>>36456001
It was still a good business strategy to sink those companies anon. Don't believe the memes. Trump is a brilliant businessman and he is smart as fuck. He's playing the american media and the internet like a goddamn fiddle. But he probably won't win the election.
>>36456001
Intro to american business 101:
You are not the business. Pay yourself in monies instead of stock. Give yourself out rageous titles/experience for your resume while on the job and pay yourself what you want to make. Burn through venture capital, loans and whatever amount of other people's money you can get, learn the industry, oversell how good you are doing right up until you go public/sell the company, whatever.
Sell all your stocks on going public. Keep your salary high, give all the work to everyone else and begin planning your next move. Sell and/or bankrupt the company and start another one using your "experience" as another bullet point in your pitch when you ask for money the next time around.
You walk away from the bankruptcy having lost nothing (god help you if you put up your own money or got loans that were signed by you instead of your "company").
Meanwhile if you are a private citizen and not a corporation and you go bankrupt through medical expenses the banks will loot your shit when you declare bankruptcy.
>>36456001
He's had over 400 business ventures and only let 5 go into bankruptcy. Thats a pretty good track record.

Kindle paperwhite is an awesome substitute for paperback, battery lasts weeks if not months, screen reads like paper and its smaller than most paperbacks. Add in highlighting, sourcing highlights from the internet, auto wiki on hard words/people if you are reading a dense or old book (who are these 20 different dead Europeans neitzche is talking about who were political figures?)
Amazon has rolling free kindle books, most of which are trash, and the internet is littered with PDFs and public domain books (see almost any book written pre 1950)
The books I've read this year:
Bruce Schneider, Data and Goliath
Mike Cernovich, Gorilla Mindset
Thomas Limoncelli, Time Management for System admins
Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols
Kevin Mitnick, Ghost in the wires
Emotional Intelligence 3.0
That's not counting field specific tech shit, audiobooks/pod casts. Which I highly recommend to anyone with a long commute.
Also pic related, trying to sprinkle green pill shit through my reading for good vibes. Helps when the IT field is overwelmingly populated with assholes, anti social people and outrageous business demands. I couldn't get through the intro of an Evola book without being filled with fury.
>>36456254
Thoughts on the gorilla mindset?
>>36456391
I like Mike, I like his blog.
My recommendations with that book are going to be skewed by who I'm recommending it to.
If you are new to self help, this is the best starting point I can think of because its a scatter shot of good ideas.
The book covers visualization strategies, eating healthy, working out, supps, how to deal with people, how to set your priorities, how to approach money and lifestyle.
It is a book that I think I will reread and I think I gained the most from the visualization parts. Most people will probably find a gem in their worth reading the whole book for buts its going to be a small gem. Ultimately self help books are old helpful if you change your habits. If you read this book and find one unexpected gem that changes your life it'll be worth it.
All of it is good advice. The problem is how shallow the book ends up being because it is such a broad topic. If you know you need cognitive behavioral therapy so that you can stop being depressed this book teaches you the first trick you'd learn then moves on. If you know you need to lose weight, this book tells you to count calories and drink water then moves on.
If you don't know what you are looking for (I didn't) you will find out what you are missing
>>36446178

I've read this and gained nothing from it. It was just a list of the most basic common thoughts possible when you exercise introspective thought in regards to your lifestyle. I guess at best it is a useful tool to read a few pages every morning to keep yourself in that frame of mind on a day to day basis.
From a previous thread
Finished reading Sniper On The Eastern Front: The Memoirs of Sepp Allerberger Knights Cross yesterday. Great read but fucking terrifying for nearly everyone involved.
Still can't get into Game of Thrones and it's put me off fantasy fiction for a long time now.
Found We Can Remember it for you Wholesale while cleaning the loft yesterday too so I'll finish that cos I thought I'd lost it.
Got about a dozen on the wishlist but trying to get through my list of games, TV shows, and films I've already got before I spend any more money.
Dead Souls by Gogol.
The Meditations of Emperor MarcusAurelius.
Thus Spoke Zarathustra by the faggot Nietszche.
The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph.
>>36446178
I've been reading Solaris, by Stanislaw Lem.
It gets a bit overly direct at times and I'm pretty sure it's not going to explore everything about its setting as well as it could but it's a fun read and a setting not quite like anything I remember ever seeing before (it's similar to The Abyss, but that came years if not decades later and I haven't actually read or watched it).
Not long before I started that I finished The Dead Zone, by Stephen King. That's a book that, despite being 400 pages, I'd say is light reading, if you get what I mean. It doesn't even go to dark places all that much, and it doesn't seem challenging to anything except the idea that ESP is fake, and it does a fairly bad job of challenging that outside of its own world. It takes a while to get going too and explores the implications of its setting about half as well as it could have. I will say though, it did this weird thing where it kind of spoiled itself, which annoyed me me until I realized how it ties into the psychic thing, then I thought it was clever.
>>36453898
Yeah what is your prof teaching out of? Those are very unconventional texts. Chandrasekhar is a cosmologist so I don't think he's written a QM book. Anyways here are some questions:
1. Name 3 fundamental axioms of quantum mechanics.
2. What is Born's postulate?
3. Completely describe mathematically the Stern-Gerlach experiment.
4. Show that time translation is generated by the Hamiltonian via Schroedinger's equation.
Bonus question: Name 2 problems the Klein-Gordon equation has and their resolutions a la Dirac.
You should be able to answer the first 4 if you're doing quantum mechanics out of any respectable book.
>>36458401
Oh I just started reading that Allerberger one, neat.
Finished "To kill a Mockingbird" on Monday, wasn't that bad, but I'm not really into American literature.
Still trying to finish Dante's Alighieri "Divine Comedy", I read it in it's original (can't get more pretentious than that) with English translation on side, so I've been studying it for few months now.
Also though about reading some trash literature, does anybody know if "Bird Box" is any good? Thanks in advance.

well the only other thing of his I've read is The Stand, and that goes to much darker places and explores cause and effect more and just gets much more in depth about the setting and characters, even ones that are incidental (but it was the unabridged version which was fucking massive), so I was hoping the "le king of shit writing" meme was false

He has been very much crushed by the fellows at MIT who wrote Why Nations Fail and by Fukuyama, both of whom now believe that institutions within human societies and the inclinations of the elite dictate success.
Secrets of Consulting - Gerald Weinberg. Fun read with practical applications for any consulting/business improvement/project management work.

How's world lit, faggot?
>>36464709
Didn't know either. Looked it up and it's pretty simple.
The "it" in "its" is a pronoun just like he, she, and them. For example, "It has 7 dogs." (Perhaps it is a kennel) Also, "he has 7 dogs." See how it is a pronoun?
Well, his, her, and their are all what are called possessive pronouns of he, she, and them/they. Possessive pronouns do not receive an apostrophe. "Its" is the possessive pronoun of "it" and so does not receive an apostrophe.
The confusion comes about, not because its has no apostrophe, but because it's does. It has nothing to do with exceptions to rules, one is a contraction and te other is a possessive pronoun. They just happen to be spelled the same - apart from the apostrophe.

Started reading How the Mind Works, by Steven Pinker, because i like psychology and Frank Yang recommended it, i gotta admit, its the best book i've ever fucking read on the subject, it may feel a lot more "scientific" for people who are used to some authors like Freud who spew hundreds of pseudo science stuff, I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about psychology, or even like biology, since it explains psychology from an evolutionary view.

I've heard that too and I can buy it as the reasoning that's been followed, but it could make a lot more sense than it does. The word "its" isn't used like nouns and pronouns, it can't be the subject of a sentence by itself, it's used like an adjective or adverb.

It's in a lot of libraries dude. I don't understand why you'd ever pay money for a book unless it's very new or you don't live near a reasonable library.

Heres the download link. Starting Strength is not a sit down and read book, use it as reference along with ripps youtube instructional vids.

In my experience it's typically helpful to sit down and read a reference book cover to cover, carefully and presently, in order to be able to refer to it more efficiently when you return to specific sections while trying to apply what you've learned.
