Daily reminder that if you don't read books, you are a degenerate.

It's not a book
Here's a list of books that I strongly recommend ;
- Carnage and Culture: Landmark Battles in the Rise to Western Power, Victor Davis Hanson
- The rest of Hanson's books
- The Sleepwalkers, Arthur Koestler
- Europe in the Twentieth Century, Robert Paxton
- Industrial Society and Its Future, Theodore Kaczynski
- A Brave New World, Aldous Huxleh
----------------------
It's a pretty good list if you aren't used to read books or want to read redpilled books.
Which books would you suggest ?
Animal Farm, The Odyssey (not a book but whatever)

1984
HORIMIYA
SKET-DAN

Carnage and Culture is good, but uneven. Hanson's chapter on Midway is terrible simply because it ignores the advantages in logistics and cryptanalysis Nimitz and PacFlt held.
Tully and Paschall's Shattered Sword is way, way better, going back to the Russo-Japanese War for the cultural factors embedded in the Imperial Japanese Navy that virtually guaranteed a loss.

I'd highly recommend anything by Pat Buchanan or Niall Ferguson. Suicide of a Superpower in particular

Amusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman. Slightly dated, focuses on the influence of TV on society and culture, but makes really important points about how the medium shapes how we think about things and how the rise of TV created infortainment and other fluffy meaningless distractions that stop you from thinking.
You can draw the line from everything in his book to today with the death of journalism and the rise of clickbait. Everything is the lowest common denominator, nobody can read for extended periods of time, you have to boil down complex ideas into slogans to get people to read them.
Which leads into The Shallows, by Nicholas Carr. It's a book about the way the internet changes our cognition.
Basically the brain is adaptable and do what you train it to. And what people are training their brains to do is rapidly process an immense amount of information and then sort out the majority of it as irrelevant. We're becoming great scanners of information, but losing the ability to concentrate over time and read complex and longer texts.
The positive news is that you can retrain yourself.

Animal farm and 1984. Most people have read these but if you haven't then you probably should.

Was interesting to see how ungovernable a country is before a civil war and how dogshit the left is at violence.

truly one of the greatest thinkers of the last centry

Read some HP Lovecraft. Fucking cool ass stories. Also, Lovecraft was pretty redpilled. People say "WAAAH he was such a racist!" But in reality, he only really hated immigrants who refused to assimilate, and this is shown often in his stories.

Even if you are right, the book is still excellent, you are forgetting all the other chapters
