Reading is too much effort that's not really an /r9k/ hobby

>Schopenhauer's "On Women" (1851)
You literally CAN NOT be a robot if you haven't read this. Required reading for every true member of the board.
Pic related is my nomination.
Fuck those meme books
>>26845380
all of Schopenhauer's writing from Essays and Aphorisms actually.
for the NEETs, Bertrand Russel's In Praise of Idleness
>>26845380
>Stirner's "The Ego and his Own"
>Everything by Marx
>Everything by Engel
The book I've related to the most in my entire life was Welcome to the NHK
Walden by thoreau
its a peaceful little book that makes you feel good
"this is the house that i built;
this is the man that lives in the house that i built
but they did not know that the third line was,-
theses are the folk that worry the man
that lives in the house that i built."

How does reading take effort?
It's literally just pick a book and start reading. Playing video games takes more effort than that.

disgusting libtard GTFO
>>26845528
That's surface-level reading. Really thinking about something is an active process.
>>26845528
You have to think and stimulate your mind when you read
>>26845528
Most of us have ADD issues and get bored easily with reading.
I for one read incredibly slowly, so after a couple pages I'm bored.
Houellebecq's Whatever and Atomised
It's the most up-to-date r9k books you will find
Fucking read up on 'em

That's true for most hobbies.
>>26845602
Not video games, once you understand a game well enough you can autopilot through almost everything.
And anime you just have to start the video and put your hands in your pocket

thats true, but just like any hobby in life it takes practice. when you start playing the guitar, your fingers hurt, you cant remember chords, you feel overwhelmed. but one day youll sit down with your guitar and play for relaxation, disguising learning with enjoyment.
>>26845642
gotta start somewhere fampie
>>26845621
That's why you look for challenging vidya.
You can't autopilot through Fire Emblem on max difficulty, for example.
Anime is not a hobby.
>>26845380
edgy lyrics from Slipknot probably
>>26845679
You just soft reset in Fire Emblem if the game gives you a shitty lvl up or fucks you over with a crit because it's 90% diceroll, that's not a real challenge because there's barely any strategy
>these faggots aren't reading Data and Goliath
It really opens your eyes to the surveillance state we life in.
>>26845426
This book was describing robots and tumblrinas before the internet even existed as we know it.
Must read.
>>26845775
>life
*live
The New Testament. Jesus is the true voice of robots. Jews are shit.
>>26845727
Nah that's plain bullshit. If you're really good at RPGs you may be able to autopilot Fire Emblem on the hardest mode but it's way harder than reading a book and understanding it. It doesn't even come close.
>>26845847
kek no it's not, Fire Emblem barely requires any thought once you realize who to feed your EXP to and who to bench. Reading is much more taxing on your brain and feels like a chore compared to the grade school tactics that FE has
>>26845847
You can beat FE on hard but can you comprehend Spinoza?
>>26845835
1.Jesus was a jew.
2. New testament was written by medieval scribes, are you you really going to trust their interpretations?
3. Old testament is literally the word of God
>>26845835
Compassion is for chumps. Heraclitus is the voice of robots.

>distracting yourself with religion
>>26845880
You're still going to get everyone killed if you don't think things through. Besides the first chapters everything OHKOs you, you can't just half ass it, unless you've reached a point in which your knowledge about video games is so high you can just breeze through it, but at that point go play Dwarf Fortress or something.
The gaming level it takes to clear Fire Emblem on autopilot is higher than the level of reading comprehension you need to read pretty much anything.
>>26845905
1. Yes, he was. And jews betrayed him
2. "trust?" I don't care how realistic the new testament is, only atheists care about that
3. Yes, and God knew about the corruption of jews. That's why he created his son.

After death, its just black. Don't waste your life on a fake figure only to have your fate be eternal unconsciousness.

Nietzsche is peachy
>>26846086
I said
>" I don't care how realistic the new testament is, only atheists care about that"
>inb4 muhh science
Isaac Newton was a theologist AND a scientist
>>26845570
Seconding Houellebecq's Whatever.
If there's an /r9k/ book it's that.
>>26846015
God new everything that would happen before time existed. Jesus was literally born to die in the manner that he did. Open your eyes.
>>26846094
>picketing funerals because a dead man had sex with men
>>26846144
>not eating pork because it isn't Kosher
Also, Christianity was a dominant religion in Europe at the time, so of course he would be a theologist. Doesn't mean his scientific work is shit.
>>26846111
Please don't tell me you pronounce his name as 'knee-chee'.
>>26846187
Yeah, I know that. Jesus was born to die, and to prove that the jew community was corrupt.
That's why judaism sliced in two: old and new testament, you understand?
>>26845669
actually true, it shows whos the retards that cant progress past those two
Are any of you familiar with a book called Sex and Character. I think some of you might like it.
>>26846232
is it actually "nyet-shuh"? I went to school in england, but i speak a germanic language normally
Do comics count as literature?

>'Le Kafka is a le meme' meme
>>26846015
1. no humanity betrayed him
2. I care because I believe in God and his words without the interference of scribes
3.Jesus died for the sins of humanity. Key word humanity. Do not go pinning the blame on any one religious group because none of us are without sin.
Are you from /pol/ by any chance?
>>26846825
if youre 8 or "not like the other girls"
>>26845679
Most "hard" modes on Fire Emblem are just half-assed artificial difficulty that didn't undergo any playtesting whatsoever. Play Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 if you want a genuine, non-bullshit challenge.
