I'm looking for something to read and I've been disappointed continuously. Any suggestions?
/lit/ just keeps recommending classic fiction and they're all terribly dull and have nothing to say.
I too, am interested in some /pol/ approved reading material
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
Moby Dick.
Absolute masterpiece with a ton of entertainment, but also depth.

LotR is 100% redpilled.
Reading Deluge from Henryk Sienkiewicz atm, he is also pretty based.
>>78286717
Camp of the Saints. You won't put it down and is more relevant now more than ever.
The prince of nothing series. It's about a posthuman monk in a medieval-fantasy post-apocalyptic world, and aliens that bioengineered a race of creatures creatures which literally fuck people before or after killing them.
Best fantasy series I've ever read.
The Bible.
>>78287034
Nigga what Im at page 500 and I simply couldnt keep on reading, That idiot keeps on talking about the anatomy of the whale and MobyBitch is still nowhere to be seen fml senpai.
>>78286717
Nosotromo by Joseph Conrad is pretty awesome
>>78286717
Most books by Brandon Sanderson. Its like anime in text format!
>>78287034
Whaling is always great desu.
>>78286717
The picture of Dorian Gray is pretty neat. There is a character, Lord Harry, complete madman and nihilist, the way he talks and sees things are thought-provoking.
Reading this one right now. It's just history but good. I mostly read sci-fi, adventure and fantasy but been getting into ones where I can actually obtain some knowledge.
I have to mention Red Rising as a good book to break away from anything too serious.
>>78287340
who are you trying to impress
Fahrenheit 451 and
Tell the truth and shame the devil
>>78287347
It's all about the buildup to Moby Dick.
The entire book summarizes the typical whaling journey, and that includes in-depth descriptions of whaling procedure. A person who loves the ocean should love this book.

The Divine Comedy is also amazing if you enjoy religious fiction.
It is extremely interesting to read about the internal structure of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. It is basically catholic fanfiction, though.

I just finished Crime and Punishment which I really liked. Starts out low but after the murder things get really interesting. Lot of good discussion as to what motivates crime and whether something should be criminal just because it's against the law and when is it excusable to break the law. Also a good suspense novel so the story is good too even without the philosophy

Hard to say. The inner party in the book are technically posthumans, and they kill anyone who cozies up to them because they see it as abnormal and unpredictable. It's not about being smart or dumb, but serving your function.
This is why no one realizes that in the book they were actually grooming Winston to join the inner party. They could have disappeared and killed him but they didn't. /theory

One Dimensional man by herbert marcuse
He talks lucidly about; the flattening of discourse, the pervasive repression behind a veil of ‘consensus’, the lack of recognition for perspectives and alternatives beyond the dominant frame, the closure of the dominant universe of meaning, the corrosion of established liberties and lines of escape, total mobilisation against a permanent Enemy built into the system as a basis for conformity and effort…It was written during a period of downturn in western societies and so feels very relevant to our post 2008 world.

Orwell was a dumb cuck, but 1984 has some useful commentary on totalitarian thought. Otherwise in terms of content it really has nothing to do with Stalinism, regardless of what ideas middle-school English teachers (see: failures) want to inculcate their students with.

Hi, anon. Just thought I'd let you know that most of that fiction and poetry is absolute pleb trash.
Particularly fucking Kipling.
Have a lovely day.
Kind of surprised nobody brought up H.P. Lovecraft. He was racist as fuck even for his time and the Cthulhu mythos is a great jumping off pad for certain avenues of existentialist philosophy like The Myth of Sisyphus which was recommended in an earlier post. Man's utter insignificance in the universe, all of that. Easily the most thought-provoking horror writer ever.

Yes, Empire is one dominant country/kingdom ruling over others. Nation is an ethnic/cultural group and country is a political group or the 'state' which rules various ethnic/cultural groups.
As far as I'm aware the closest thing to Ukraine before its SSR was cossacks tribe culture, since the ethnic groups in Europe are all seriously really mixed, especially with turkic people in that area.
Animal Farm
It's just 50 pages, give it a read anons.
Kind of a girly book, but "Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China" was a red pill for me. It tells the story of a grandmother, mother and daughter before and during the Revolution/Cultural Revolution in China. Basically it just really goes into detail about how fucked up the communist government quickly became and the atrocities committed by the Red Guard.

After reading the Bible, my eyes were opened and I came to the conclusion that my heart had been screaming for a long time: gays and the liberal left in general are a plague on every society; open borders are the death of civilization; practicing and non-practicing Jews are the synagogue of satan who have placed themselves between decent people and God; both political parties are corrupt and pushing society closer to satanic agendas; global warming is a hoax that pseudo-intellectual socialists use to punish successful western societies.

If you haven't read 1984 you have to. So much of the current year left's tactics are basically taken out of that book.
Fear of doxxing is like the panopticon. They try to instill a fear that if you say the wrong things online they will find out your real identity, harass your friends, families and employers and strip you of your livelihood. Hate speech laws in Europe are just another step down the path towards a totalitarian Orwellian state.
Double speak and double think are already deeply instilled in the radical left. "Diversity is a strength", "anti-racism(aka racism against whites)", "Gender is different from sex".
Look at the left's reaction to the Orlando shooting. Somehow homophobic white christians are to blame for a radical muslim's actions? 2 + 2 = 5 in their world already.

I dont care if you are entertained by classic works or not as that is a matter of taste. I do however care that you seem to think that classic works have no message or say anything of meaning. Since this is obviously false, I can only deduce that you came to that conclusion because you are incapable of analyzing classic literature, and so suggested a genre that actually has nothing to say. Have a nice day.

I tried to read Nietzsche but quickly realized he's just a contrarian and not a philosopher at all.

Definitely agree. For anyone concerned, Marx isn't going to turn you red. His arguments are trash and easily refuted (as many political-economic thinkers have done since the book was published). Because sociologists love to suck his dick and leftists love to suck the dick of sociology many of his neologisms are now in common use. At a minimum, it's good to know where these words come from when you use them or see someone else use them.

Fucking A man also important to read is homage to Catalonia by George Orwell its his personal experience with how communism and Bolsheviks and the media worked together to fuck over everyone and lie there way to the top. Shits pretty intense read since its really apparent who the real enemy is.

You are a pseudointellectual,

Orwell is overrated but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give 1984 and Animal farm a read.
Unfortunately they push those books on normies in school here in the US and it just goes over their heads or worse, they take it as an instruction manual.

It's like the whole book is obsessed with everything white whale, there is even a whole chapter on whiteness. It's genius, but I can see how it can be tiring for some.

What is this about?

He wrote that at a time when cults like MVS' were springing up everywhere. The genius of that book is in fusing the various elements of the implied promises made by these cults, putting a sci-fi spin on them, and pretending as though it were really real. It's both a scathing parody of new religious movements and a Heinlein's own positive pandeistic spirituality in one. 5/5 Highly recommended.

"The Gun" by CJ Chivers, it covers how Kalashnikov was a Soviet propaganda puppet, how they murdered his friends when they tried to tell the world it was a team of people that designed the AK, and the possible involvement of Hugo Schmeisser (captured German weapons designer).
I listened to it as an audiobook, which I recommend. It's narrated good enough it's not hard to follow, sometimes they narrate books shittily.
Audible version is what I listened to.

Those are some fun ones.

I have read it. It's crushing to see our society slowly turn into that
Nobody mention Stanisław Lem ? OP if you are looking something really meaty then Lem should be your choice.
Liar's Poker and The Big Short. Great books for comprehending the 2008 crash and the general atmosphere of Wall St.

>"I have received, sir, your new book against the human race, and I thank you for it. You will please people by your manner of telling them the truth about themselves, but you will not alter them. The horrors of that human society--from which in our feebleness and ignorance we expect so many consolations--have never been painted in more striking colors: no one has ever been so witty as you are in trying to turn us into brutes: to read your book makes one long to go about all fours."

Take a book, either fiction or non-fiction, that isn't too long, and discuss it one chapter at a time over the course of a month or so.

Greatest book ever written. It's like a litmus test. Retards and lit babbies can't make it past page 300 and call it a chore. Real ass niggas know it's a masterpiece.

If you haven't read Jane Eyre yet, you should. It's a total piece of shit, and it's a perfect allegory for how useless and cancerous feminism is. All the conflicts are either caused by the MC or random "le meen evul ppl r super meen DDDD':" and the MC doesn't solve any of the conflicts herself, yet it's praised as a classic and an important feminist work.
This if you want a good fantasy novel.
Chuck Palahniuk, everything I've read I've enjoyed...
Thanks for making this thread, I've recently been trying to get into reading and it's actually very enjoyable. Not sure if this has been posted already but you should definitely check out "inferno". Its really neat.

Sword of Truth series.
Red pilled and anti Muslim.
Asimov - Foundation Series. Start with Prelude.
Fun fact, this was Robin Williams favorite series and he desperately wanted to make a movie adaptation. He would of been epic as Hari Seldon.
Asimov was a Jew but one can look past that....unfortunate circumstance.
>>78286717
Seriously read GK Chesterton. He is amazing.

> say what you want about this woman
Ayn Rand was a horny bitch and an amphetamine addict. She cheated on her husband and started a small cult made up mostly of economists.
She hated communism and postmodernism so much that she wrote thousands of pages of what amount to scathing, boiling, white-hot, iron-hard prose in condemnation of them. The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged are gripping, vividly drawn, and enjoyable. Their ideological and propagandistic power is overwhelming. To the leftist, these books hold up a mirror revealing the leftist's own subconscious wish for death. To the leftist who cannot face their own desire for death, the books are hated enemies (look up reviews of Atlas Shrugged to see what I mean), but to one who is ready to see their own degenerate ideology for what it is, the books are ideological medicine. Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead are works of genius in the fullest sense.
They're not perfect. Ayn Rand, her ideology, and her cult are not perfect either (no ideology can possibly form a complete model of the world), but they must be recognized as genius works of art.

Oryx and Crake: this is literally where the world is leading up to, with all of this degenerancy and trade pact. And we don't even have a Crake to kill everyone and start off again.

If you like world history, "The Story of Mankind" was a lot of fun to read. Not dry at all like most world history books. It's old, so it only covers up to right before world war 1.

I read the short story Metamorphosis and that pretty much told confirmed in me that people are only as valuable as what they contribute to those around them. When you stop being the "giving tree" 90% of your so-called friends will abandon you.
