What is some good ideological literature about fascism?
I have read Stirner and enjoyed it.
Ive read a few lefty political books, and I think that something along the lines of a "vanguard party" sounds reasonable.
I really know nothing about fascism.
I've heard Mosley is pretty good, but that's by the standards of people who agree with him.

Silent library, hours past noon. The two were left alone, breathing heavily without muttering a word. The sounds outside, words of so many people from pleads to curses, lost themselves into white noise: voices, sirens and cries, became a faint murmur because of their mind's voice, so loud that their thoughts seemed to run as fast as they could, and yet stumbling at every step of the way.
The main doors fell. They counted the running steps coming closer: down the main hall, up the stairs, then through the hallway and to the...

What's the maximum amount of books that one should read at a time?

Also let me be that guy that says it's ontologically impossible to read more than one book at a time
How do I structure more cohesive sentences?
>>7318078
write until you stop emulating someone else and just write the same way you think and speak
that's when you'll become fluid and figure it out
>>7318085
Alright, cheers!
There is a book about writing that I found in an advertising book. It's pretty old, but has some pretty good tips. The mathematics are a little over-the-top, but you'll get the gist.
It's called The Art of Plain Talk by Rudolph Flesch
"Straight A's" or "straight As"? I've been taught either way... any clarification?
I prefer the first.

I hate unnecessary apostrophes. Like when people write "the 60's" -- nope -- the 60s.
>>7318250
But I would rather just avoid that cliche entirely to be honest.

Why is such common the advice to write brief and to the point, using short phrases and few words?
>>7317608
Because you do not waste your time, nor your readers, by using unnecessary words to get your point across.
If you need writing advice, you don't know how to write a good sentence yet. The longer your bad sentences are, the worse your writing will end up.
So idiots can understand

/mu/ here looking for books to inspire me.
What are some worthwhile books written from the perspective of a teenager?
I'm conditioned particularly to those that deal with the general struggles of adolescence rather than epics or sci fi/fantasy.
The Catcher in the Rye is probably the ultimate example of this genre.
>>7317428
I agree. This book is what inspired me initially and I'm looking for more similar.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Wizard/Knight by Gene Wolfe (It's fantasy, but patrician coming-of-age)
I am the author of the "America Deceived" series.
The quality of the books are in inverse order:
America Deceived III (best by far, just released)
America Deceived II (decent)
America Deceived (save your money)
The "America Deceived" series was banned from Wikipedia, which actually changed its book guidelines to prevent the trilogy from being listed. Just google "America Deceived banned" and the Wikipedia page will list under "Proof of Wikipedia banning America Deceived".
Ask away ...
why was it banned? what are your books about? who are you?
>>7317406
I don't know what they're about, but the only thing that talks about it being banned is a blogpost from a blog called "Rand Paul Revolution", so it's probably some really biased shit that the author wrote the wikipedia article for.

Have you ever met a graphic designer, or wondered why some products look better than others?
What does /lit/ think of kindle?
I have one and I like it
This isn't Facebook. Don't post pictures of yourself. Ew.
I don't use one, I'm paranoid I'd lose it and thus my entire bookshelf. Don't have a problem with them though, they seem to make it easier for weird new ideas to get published.

How can I stop procrastinating?
Is there a book (fiction) that deals with the issue of internet or media addiction? I know about Infinite Jest of course but it is such a massive and maximalist work as I understand; it would be nice to find something a little more focussed
Fahrenheit 451 funnily enough.
Also Brave New World.
Basically starter-kit level books deal with this a lot.
>>7317227
Well I mean more as a personal issue, not in the context of social satire.
>>7317215
>focussed
why people do this
it's focused
