As much as needed.
are there any books where there are tons of non sequitur and it almost feels like looking inside the mind of a schizo?

Henri Michaux very much. But it seems that "A Certain Plume" is not even available in English. Very unfortunate.
Daniil Kharms is similar.
ps: What the hell is that in the upper right corner of OP pic?

Is Atlas Shrugged a good read?
>muh objectivism
>>7854790
No. I read only it so I could understand references to it.
I am reading it rn. I dont understand why people think of of it as a meme book. Its quite a read holding my attention so far. At least much better than my two previous reads which was the Republic and the War of The Worlds.
Read it desu, you will read it sooner or later, so do it sooner
>>7854790
I hear the 50 page John galt speech was a bit much.
You are locked in a padded cell with an author of your choice for a week
Who is it and what things do you do together
I pick Sadie and we'd have sex for a week straight
I pick Angela Carter and we'd have sex and write erotic fiction for a week straight.
Laurie Penny and I would just constantly harass and cajole her until she let me eat her giant fat ass.
I'm half way in and I'm loving it.
>>7852620
because americunt education system forces them to read it.
>>7852620
because it's extremely popular, iconic, and actually has significant literary merit
>>7852634
Fuck off, faggot.
I'm trying not to be an MRA and understand where liberals/social marxists are coming from.
Are there any good feminist books? I'm trying to seriously challenge my beliefs.
>>7859185
Modern feminists don't read or right just like modern reactionaries.
>>7859197
Since liberals dominate the academic community, surely they have some good literature to explain their viewpoints.
You can't tell me they all get their information from tumblr and Laci Green.

Man, every time I read something by Bertcuck Rustled, it's just a comedy goldmine.
Why doesn't he branch out of YA?
limited
Because he can't...
For one, YA is extraordinarily profitable. John Green probably has an eight figure net worth, at least, thanks to all the YA he's written.
Second, what >>7857904 said. He's fairly limited. He writes good teenagers, but he can't fathom adults. He can't fathom actual children, either. Notice how all the children in John Greene books are unbearable. All he can write is smarter-than-average teenagers. This is because Greene himself essentially has the mind and the makeup of a smarter-than-average teenager. He's very clever and witty, but he's not really an adult. He can only write what he knows, and he doesn't really know anything more than YA. When I say 'know,' I'm using it in a very fundamental way.
Do we have a chart for essential texts (books, essays) for climate change? If not, can we make one? I have legitimately no idea where to start.
>>7856124
that is tin foil hat shit, and you know it.
>>7856124
This site is right winged. Climate change is not a topic discussed here very often.
Also, Spotted the redditor

Is military history literature's comfiest and most hidden treasure?
So hidden nobody wants to reply to this thread
SGM Eric Haney wrote a book about his time in a counter-terror unit that while being alternating flavors of hilarious and sad, remains through and through 'comfy'.
