Bruh, I'm a classicist, and I basically only have bilinguals; for a start, because they're easier to find (especially in my country) than monolingual editions, and usually less expensive. I've got a few monolingual Budés and one Teubner, I think. But otherwise, more than a hundred bilingual Greek/Roman volumes.

Why can’t black people just exist without denigrating other races? Blacks have such an obvious chop on their shoulder from getting savagely BTFO by whites and it’s shows. They’re always looking for any excuse to fly off the handle or put someone else down.

From an outsider’s perspective peering in I find it really sad how blacks oscillate between masochism and sadism. Black people are always putting each other down and acting insanely cruel toward one another and then shift gears immediately into bragging about how their grandpa or mother beat them with sticks or plastic chords or even broader by excessively wanting to discuss violence during slavery.

I have a pretty big Tolkien collection (as in: more than 99% of people), started probably around age 14... I do however have a lot of poetry (both French and English), a little philosophy and a shitload of Classics. Quite a bit of early 20th cent. theology and exegesis, literary criticism, absolutely no self-help or e-celebs, a hardly any biographies (Enoch Powell, Franco, Salazar, Mosley, Edith Sitwell), except figures from Antiquity (Plutarch, Nero, Caligula, Attila, Sylla etc.)

The New Testament, especially the 4 gospels. Old Testament is much more about laws and glorifying God; New is about Jesus’ reforms to the doctrine (most famously “turn the other cheek” and “let he who is without sin cast the first stone”). The holistic message is that God seems arbitrary and cruel, but that’s only because we’re mortals, so we can’t fully comprehend Him. Since justice is God’s business, we should more or less forget about chasing it ourselves, and just be generous.

>but don't you think sleeping on the floor and eating nothing but lentils is a bit much?
Ecc 7:26-29: "I found more bitter than death the woman who is a trap, whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are fetters; one who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her. See, this is what I found, says the Teacher, adding one thing to another to find the sum, which my mind has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found."

I’ve been thinking about this question and I think the only answer is if the whole shelf is just self help books then you have a massive problem. Otherwise I think pretty much anything else is fine.

The only people I’ve met irl who have heard about evola know of him because “omg based fascist”, if they actually were traditionalists and read Schuon, Tage Lindbom etc I would probably respect them more.

Nothing will change that all of you are reading crap and not having fun. I've been on 4chan since 2006ish. I used to be like you. I used to try to force myself to read whole Dostoevsky novels. I used to take those "start with the Greeks" infographics serious. I have a stack of Murakami and Kafka books. You niggers, read the most soul sucking and boring Western books that there are. You fuckers even have Stephen King threads up, and people giving advice as to what is in them.

Do you guys even read fun Western shit? No. I never see threads were people are talking about Author Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes books, which are "fun. Instead, I've 9,000 threads about people talking about the same Camus book, or trying to force themselves to read Pynchon. Or some stupid Jew scam shit about Wittgenstein talking about Lions.

I've never even seen one Edgar Rice Burroughs thread. Like, okay, that is obvious guy adventure bullshit. I don't expect there to be a bunch of threads about that, but the incredible lack of ERB threads, is kind of a sign that you are all moody women and onions boys. When you talk about red flags, you mention Infinite Jest. Nigger, men don't read Infinite Jest. Only single fat women with nose rings and blue hair think men read Infinite Jest, because they once went into an apartment of a try hard that had it on his bureau or some shit.

This board is so fucking incredibly deluded, lame, and pretentious, that you make trannies on /LGBT/ look rational when they cut off their dicks. The only difference between them, is that you guys can read, and now have your head stuck in same stack of books as everyone else.

I have 4 degrees. I never see anyone on here mention anything but bad philosophy and overrated fiction. I never see threads for true crime books, I am sure you look down on anyone that reads them, but they were eye opening and fun when I was in my CrimJ degree. I never see any actual Psychology or up to date Philosophy that people are actually talking about in academia, all I see is out of date stuff people haven't been taking seriously in Psyche or Philosophy for 70 years in academia.

I would go to /a/, but they don't talk about light novels either, just manga and anime. So, every now and then, I stumble back into here, to see if I can find some, but there are none. All I see are the same pretentious fart sniffers torturing themselves with the same stale ass books. I'm not saying Games of Thrones, is good, but there are whole Western Fantasy series that sort of are, and I never see threads for them, other than LOTRs, which is like Babies First Fantasy series. But Light Novel Isekei novels are even more fun, and charming. Japan has one of the highest IQs in the world, and they get it, that life is too short to be short to be sniffing your farts all the time like /lit/ does. You guys are more repetitive than /tv/, but at least /tv/ has figured out what is KINO and isn't over time.

Proving my point that this board is filled with tryhards and women that only reference the same books, that clearly show they are on tones of SSRIs and are clinically depressed. This thread is no different the same thread I visited 10 years ago.

Only White women and try hards say "have sex" as a knee jerk response, showing how unintellectual and faking reading books for a lack of a personality. I have sex all the time, but mostly with Slavic, East Asian, and Indian women, and Bisexual Black men. Because White hipsters, male and female are bad lays, and they think are hip and with it, but this board is filled with people that have a very limited world view, both in literature and the bedroom, or they wouldn't be mentioning the same Camus novella to fill the void in there depression and lack of personality.
