St. Augustine is pretty good. His Confessions are a must read, from there read the City of God. Also, look up: St. Teresa of Avila (I think I spelled her name wrong but it should give you hits on google), St. Thomas Aquinas (if you like the philosophy side of things) and Dante Alighieri.

Depends on your country. I'm in Denmark and buy mine from a site called saxo, the membership is ~$10 a month and lowers the price on practically all books, obviously varying in amount, gives free shipping, and a coupon code or free ebook every once in a while.

The physical bookstore in my town is pretty shit, at least it was the last time I went which was ages ago. Just a ton of translated to Danish books and literally who whatever books.

libgen.io , convert with Calibre, read in Kindle 4.
If I can't find something there, I scour the net for some half-assed scan. Only after that I resort to buying a real book.
I price-check every bookstore with an online shop in my area and get the cheapest one, either delivered to my home or for me to pick up.
Best advice I can give you is to use google for each book individually.

Local bookshop that is part of a chain.
Sometimes I order stuff by phone and drive there to pick it up.
Bookdepository for english stuff,

The letters 'Щ' and "Ж", tbqh.

I lived in Europe and studied European languages. But it was hard that pronounciation of alphabet was very different between other language.

Same as dfws, he was a sincere in a world of insincere

lol I forgot no one reads here. I should have asked a question about infinite jest if I wanted a response.

>>8051087
Intelligent people—the people you seem to want to reach—don't respond to threads like this ("what the fuck is his/her problem!??? m i rite!!!").

If you want to be taken seriously, delete the thread and try again. You get back what you give, and you're giving stupid, stupid shit. (Post stupid threads, get stupid responses.)

Che actually wrote a manual that is freely distributed.

https://decryptedmatrix.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/Che-Guevara-Guerrilla-Warfare.pdf

Also consider using oxford bibliography for books on the shining path, viet cong etc. A Savage War of Peace by Alistair Horne is good in that respect, as is its connected movie The Battle of Algiers

>>8049326
Che wrote quite a few books, actually. I'd also recommend "Reminisces of the Cuba revolutionary war" since obviously a lot of it directly pertains to the guerilla aspect of the fighting.

>Reminisces of the Cuba revolutionary war
This looks pretty good. I really enjoy books about south american war, they have a different aspect that is hard to define, and almost always devolve into a guerrilla, even with Bolivar leading a continental army at the head of the conflict there are always these packs of backwoods cowboys.

OP I also recommend Os Sertoes by da Cunha if you want an account of a zealot guerrilla army under siege

Haven't read too much Ernst besides storm of steel. I know he has other essays like "on pain," which is part of the new translations like the one you just read.

Check on amazon and goodreads for reviews.

>>8049299
Check out Ernst's brother Friedrich's "The Failure of Technology"

http://www.ernst-juenger.org/2012/11/fg-jungers-failure-of-technology-as.html

Countercurrents has two of the short writings o their site, "Sicilian Letter to the Man on the Moon" which is beautiful, as well as "The Retreat into the Forest"

On the Marble Cliffs is his classic novella, about the totalitarianism of the Nazis and Communism.

Christianity is irrelevant to a contemporary existence

But it's aesthetic

You should write as long as you're ignorant. The more you learn, the more your work will seem dull and devoid of talent. At least, now, you have sincerity on your side.

I don't have to write dialogue because I am not a self-important idiot who thinks people want to hear what he thinks.

>>8048638
basically just use the voices in your head + know the fundamentals of dialogue

if you don't have one for a character tweak the character until you do

>>8048647
Isn't that the other way round though? Internalizing everything and having it lectured to the reader?

Some people are good, some people are bad, most are inbetween

>>8048604
>some people are good

>some people are bad

this is heretical in the extreme

people are made up entirely of the good; but much of that good is perverted to bad. nobody is wholly bad, for then they would be nothing; and nobody was ever perfectly good, except Christ.

What we call bad people, or good people, these are just gradations of good; a "bad man" is in many ways good, a "good man" is in many ways bad.

>>8048619
People are people. Some people are inclined to do things that other people consider 'bad', and vice versa. When it comes to 'good' or 'bad', this is as far as it goes. People can't be 'made up of' good or bad, because all good or bad consist of is the opinions of onlookers. There is no 'goodness' like there is 'redness' or 'largeness'. The sad truth is that 'good' and 'bad' are human constructs, and that whether someone is...
