Velben is a harder slog than any of the rest of those. It is a good book, but enjoyable it is not. It is dense and dry but don't give up on it. Prepare your rectum tho

Catholic detected

Your point being?

No point

Not the other guy. Since you've read Kierkegaard, St Ignatius Loyola might be up your street.

Next:
Plato's Dialogues, not sure where to start yet.

>>7660617
Veblen is harder than Archimedes and Copernicus?

What specifically makes Veblen so difficult? Is it mathematical at all, or just has very intricate terminology?

>>7660697
Start with Euthyphro, then Apology, Crito, and Phaedo.

Alcibiades I is also a good starter.

So far it's a touch on the technical side for me (only 25 pages in), but I suspect the second half will be much more what I was hoping for.

>>7660697
Have you read the Republic?

>>7660625
How is Fulton Sheen?

>>7661104
Once, but I didn't have the background for it. I'm going to read again in the future.

>>7660764
I'm the "cunt" from above (not sure why he said that). Veblen is not mathematical in the slightest. The other guy is right in saying that it's not an easy read, but that's mostly because it's dense and builds on itself and Veblen's invented terms and concepts. You should take notes as you read, because basically if you gloss over any section, the book will get more and more confusing as you continue.

It's far from impossible. Maybe not "fun," but rewarding and fulfilling. I'm happy to have read it.

>>7660865
I just finished M&M. If you're not familiar with post revolution Russian history, make sure to read the annotations, at least after you've finished the book.

>>7661145
Background? What background are people making you think you need to read The Republic?

>>7660764
He's harder because of his writing style. He was writing when dense academic styles of the Victorians etc were popular, and the book is dense even for that standard. Archimedes and Coperniucs aren't as fusty.

Follow this cunt's advice >>7661196 cunt is my new terms of endearment and address Copernicus and Archimedes have moments when you'll understand them in excerpts or just with basic knowledge of math. They're not the same beast as Velben where "wtf are you even saying to me" will probably happen to you a few times.
