Mein Kampf is a good summary of his main beliefs.
Basic writings collection. It's got a red cover
The school of life video on him is ok for a beginner
What books written in the 21st century are going to be seen as literary classics in the future? Or is "literature" dead?

Hot Water Music then Ham on Rye then Post Office then Factotum.
Start with anything you want, but I would sugest that you read some short stories first (Notes of the dirty old man, Hot watet music...) and then dive into novels (Ham on rye is a good start here because you can see how his father shaped his later behaviour in life).
Been really getting into Bukoswki lately, just discovered him and can't stop reading. Any authors you know if with his kinda style? I can relate to the whole misery, depression, alcoholic, suicidal characters. I already love Kerouac, Burroughs. Any other down on their luck miserable authors you recommend for a person constantly thinking about the next drink or suicide?
Stop having shit taste and start reading Celine
>>7870169
This is honestly the best advice anybody can give you on the subject, OP.
>>7870171
Not saying that Bukowski is that bad but seriously OP, being told to read Celine is good advice.

Please recommend books on antinatalism.
>>7869833
Antinatalism is a kike plot to convince you against producing white children.
>>7869845
Ecclesiastes is antinatalist as well so you might be on to something.

The only books I've read are Harry Potter and LotR when I was young. Currently reading Count of Monte Christo. In short I'm a uneducated pleb or DYEL if this was /fit/
I've seen the /lit/ top 100 chart and I've heard I should avoid the meme trinity.
So is it possible to sort the toplist from beginner to hard or do I just go from top down? Where would you start?
>>7869610
Avoiding the memes is a meme. You should read the memes but also heed my prior advice. Get what I'm getting at?
The consensus is that you should start with Hegel's "Phenomenology of Spirit" and finish with Godel's "On Formally Undecidable Propositions of Principia Mathematica"
>>7869610
Read what seems interesting to you. Fuck /lit/.
Imagine you're going to jail and you can bring 5 books but they have to be works of poetry.which works would you choose?
>>7869583
Would you include epics?
>>7869613
Yeah anything in verse. Prose poetry works too
>>7869583
Definitely the book of psalms so I can fit in with the idiot bible thumping prisoners and prevent them from shanking me.
I am amazed to find that this book is EXACTLY what you guys meme'd it out to be.
>Overtly, I had so-called normal relationships with a number of terrestrial women having pumpkins or pears for breasts; inly, I was consumed by a hell furnace of localized lust for every passing nymphet whom as a law-abiding poltroon I never dared approach.
Seriously hilarious shit. It's like he knew there would be lolis one day and tons of trolling about them. This book is proving to be one huge master ruse. Do people really read this with unironic...

I am searching for literature the depicts the collapse of societies or nations (it doesnt matter if it is fictional or historical ) on the street level. Meaning that I am looking for stories that illuminate the everyday life of everyday people.
So do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
>>7869212
Foundation by Asimov might be what you're after
>>7869221
Book 1 of the seven?
>>7869212
Would you count Dubliners?
