Holla Forums approved lit? Fiction or non fiction doesn't better really I'd just like to spend a little less time on the internet and a little more learning about the world through books.

This thread was DOA

I never read it

...

...

Okay heed my advice.
Read everything, Look at who is writing and for what purpose.

Don't just look for a thumbs up from Holla Forums but rather read everything. Read Marx, Read Evola, Read The Bible, Read the Quran. Read every view.

To start you off though I'll give you "My first Holla Forums book"s

For what purpose? Unless you're a NEET or retired you have to avoid obvious trash like Marx since you know what you're getting and time is a finite resource.

...

To truly hate your enemy, you must know the vile arcana they follow.

The courses on aynrand dot org are pretty good OP, check it out before buying the book

jew shit

but she got close to the truth. too bad the main character is strong independent womyn who trades an awesome man for an even awesomer man when she finds one

Read it so you can know Allah the most merciful

jk———-

Even white nationalists like Ayn Rand. She praised white men.

Except to truly understand Islam, you must read the Koran, the Sunnah and an assortment of other writings. It's not like thumbing through the Koran will lend you all the understanding you might want. It's a rather vague book, and the devils are in all the vagueries that islamic lawyers and scholars have been interpreting for centuries. To glean necessary context from these books, it requires study, and aint nobody got time to spend limited time studying goatfucker ideologies. You're signalling a sense of cosmopolitan-ness when it's not required. Subhumans write subhuman tier books. When I was reading the classics, I kept hearing wonderful accolades about Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, but when I read it I was blown away at how wonderfully mundane and average the writing was. It was the only proper 'novel' to come out of Africa, and I thought I might glean something interesting from a different perspective but the most interesting parts of that book talked about yams.

Instead of reading Marx, why not pick up something you know you'll enjoy instead and just get the Marx sparknotes if you want to stump your commie friends so badly. Then again, I don't fall under the relativist spell that tells me that every author has something worth listening to.

Oh look infowars popped in to say hello. Ayn Rand's writing appeals to children or dudebros. I promise that all these people praising her writing have never made it past page 50 of atlas shrugged.

...

lol all of this


Ayn Rand was a fucking lecherous kike who invented Objectivism to subvert Christianity by pretending Objectivism wasn't a belief system or a religion. Get lost.

You completely failed to refute one word Rand ever wrote. Typical sheep.

Picture related.

The most important Holla Forums literature.

Be honest, have you read atlas shrugged? Or have you just read the fountainhead? What makes you think I have to spend an hour refuting objectivism because you failed to read the book or understand the implications?

ITT: Anons want a preapproved reading list to reaffirm themselves.

This is not the way to approach life. If you want to refute material efficiently, you must know the material, take notes on the material, understand the thought and the line of thinking that led to that tought.

That's fine if you're an elf and have enough time to do these things, but unless reading is your only hobby then you have to start putting up a filter. Do you really need to read the Quran to be able to refute it? That's like saying I need to sit through the latest Disney movie Zootopia to know it's garbage.

...

Good for her. You Christ cucks are ruining civilization.


I always laugh when you jew worshippers say that. Hilarious.


No. This isn't your safe space, jew worshiper.

I'm an atheist and ayn rand was a terrible writer (and a kike).

Always.


Yes.


Yes. And We, the Living and a bunch of her non-fiction.


It's time for you to be honest. Do you have any argument whatsoever? If so, prove it. Post it now.

...

...

I like you.

Argument against objectivism? Since objectivism laid the foundation for lolbergtarianism, need I go further? Libertarianism is a failed ideology.

Jews can't be christian, anyway he is a false pope installed by the globalist order since the papacy is for life and the actual pope still lives.

Stop lying using green text.

You should read that article. You might learn something.

To know what they think, how they think and whether they are correct.

I read Marx and what not so when told "U HAVENT EVEN READ IT U DONT KNOW" I can point to the verse and the chapter. Also how do I know what I'm getting if I'm yet to read and experience it? Do you believe SJWs when they state something is bad for the sake of it being 'wrongthink'? No. You investigate and so too do I.

Wrong. Rand didn't even like libertarianism. Do you know why?


Yes.

The person you're describing will then quote another author you've never heard of such as Fuks and you're back at square one with this special snowflake type.

So anyway, what would you all suggest then?

The mind of a lolberg everybody.

Isn't Satanism just Objectivism with prayer?

Ernst von Salomon
Ernst Jünger

If (((LaVey))) is to be believed

I suggest that everyone here reads this at least once. It is a goldmine of information and even if you're already on the side of Hitler when it comes down to how history occurred, you'll learn more things you really need to know about Germany's revolution. It wasn't all just about gassing kikes and killing commies, in fact I don't think Jews are mentioned in the first 3-4 chapters. The biggest issues behind WW2 were geopolitics and Communism/Globalism/Bankers vs Nationalists. It's just that 80% or more of the registered (party member) Jews in Germany were communist party members and their greedy cult of enslavement had spread its way into international politics.

To be honest I liked Anthem much more than 1984. However Atlas Shrugged sucked dick. I'll be reading the Fountain Head soon, I hope it's better.

Heart of Darkness should be a required reading. Delves into a lot despite being so short, and it also has the most based quote that summarizes women perfectly.

...

atlas shrugged is a great read that portrays unashamed masculinity and competency as extremely admirable and noble, and its just all around an enjoyable book. never understood the ayn rand bashing, especially in regards to atlas shrugged. watever u idiots.

Hauntingly beautiful indictment of postwar society:

"Tom Wedderburn's Life is the story of a simple man born into an isolated community where he is filled with the values and mores of the nineteenth century. It is Tom's misfortune that the century he must live in is the chaotic twentieth. He lives to see the end of his isolated world. He falls in love with a modern woman he does not understand. As a young man, he endures the hell of World War II.. Left disillusioned and alone in his old age, Tom holds on to his peculiar sense of dignity and even finds a measure of happiness."

It lived up to the standards I've read everywhere about this book, but then became a porn novel. I probably only read 3/5 of the book due to skipping Rand's desire to get pumped by a strong businessman.

Yes it's good, but as with any book, you should read it and decide this for yourself.

also, there are at least a few Objectivist Holla Forums posters :^)

1984 is actually a proper novel. Anthem is just a hundred pages of her rambling about how much smarter and superior she is compared to other people, "and maybe you are too, dear reader, :^) ." You can actually feel the residue of narcissism on your fingers as you turn through the pages of that book.

I bought that fucking shitty book and its one of my biggest regrets trying to read it.

That book is garbage.

FTFY

You've done me proud again, Holla Forums. Here's a book worth reading.

...

...

ayn rand

I read it. I would recommend the Fountainhead.
Much better book, and its shorter.

& for the record, its about a dirty communist using newspapers to discredit, destroy, and control entrepreneurs (who are the protagonists).

she claimed the wealthy should be the masters of the poor. she also claimed welfare was a bad thing. on her dying days as an old bat all her wealthy friends abandoned her and was living on welfare that she despised so much. fucking hypocritical kike.

You've got that backwards, son. But really it's just the philosophy of freedom. Anyone can come to it on their own.

Galt's Gulch was anarcho-capitalist, even though Rand herself wasn't, and wasn't even libertarian, and actually despised libertarians.

Objectivism was a cult of personality, and thus it died when she did. That doesn't make any of Rand's books any less prophetic.

If you have read Atlas Shrugged, and don't see the parallels to today's slow, yet quickening economic and moral degeneration, then you must be a socialist commie.

Atlas Shrugged is a brick of a book. If you're unfamiliar with Rand I'd recommend We the Living first. It reads like a journal of Rands final years in Soviet Russia. She wrote it when she was still learning English so the style is very raw, but also very honest. It contains some wonderful prose. If the book appeals to you, give Atlas Shrugged a shot.

if you are really pointing out the delusions of a mad woman as prophetic , than i hope you get some fucking help before you go on a shooting spree because rand told you so.

if you believe a single word she says than you should go outside and find the nearest Jew and suck his cock and prostrate yourself at his feet. ayn rand believed the wealthy and upper class were more human than those without wealth or status.

Former lolbertarian here just dropping in to say that I enjoyed Atlas Shrugged and would recommend it as transitional material for commies, although Anthem is far superior by virtue of being shorter, better written and the inspiration for Rush's 2112. These both certainly helped in my case, although I have a soft spot for any kind of dystopian fiction.

Naturally, (((Rand))) is wrong in her philosophical approach, and her interpretation of altruism is either intentional (likely), idiotic or a genuine misunderstanding based in part on coming from (((a different culture))) and having witnessed the atrocities done in the name of brother love in the (((USSR))). The reason I think her interpretation of altruism is intentional is because of her early interest in Nietzsche and then her total disillusionment from him, plus her understanding of the English language is incredibly good. It doesn't seem likely to me that she would have such command of the language yet misunderstand the meaning of such a common idea.

As a broader criticism, (((Rand)))'s infatuation with capitalism is not healthy. She sees capitalism as all that is good in the world and openly advocates for the rule of money to supercede the rule of law. Objectifags who disagree will point to the fact that she was a Republican and that she hated anarchists as a way of claiming that she didn't advocate for the rule of money.

After making some very valid points about money being a useful tool as a medium of exchange, she then (in the voice of her spic character) advocates for the rule of money:

Ayn Rand disliked lolbergs because lolbergs were against her 'primitivism' arguments since she was in favor of Israel taking Palestinian lands because 'they're savages' when the Israelis were every bit as savage as those from whom they just stole the land.

Do you have any evidence for this shitturd of a theory you turd?

Reported: Jewry
Reported: (((libertarianism)))

The basic modus operandi of Cultural Marxism is about selecting a group in a society, and telling them that they are oppressed by an out-group that is basically the whole society. E.g. tell Afro-Americans that they are oppressed, and the oppressors are whites, and the USA is run by them, so everything bad happening to them is the fault of whites.

Now find an other group (e.g. homosexuals), and repeat this process, so that they think greater society is against them. Find yet an other group (e.g. females), and an other (dunno, transsexuals). Soon enough you will have lots of small fissures that also often cross each other (e.g. that whole thing about how white homosexuals are more or less oppressed than females), so you will have a clusterfuck. This clusterfuck will dominate the political life of the target society, and they will be too busy with infighting to react to what is going on in the world. Even more, they will be very vulnerable to influence by outsiders.

Don't tell me that this isn't something observable.

- Rand’s hero-worship of the Aryan peoples had much to do with simple aesthetic appeal. One of the most important experiences in Alisa Rosenbaum’s life was when she saw a young girl named Daisy Gerhardi from England, who wore stylish clothes and played tennis, which was unheard of for young Russian girls. She would later say, “It amazed me. … it was a creature out of a different world, my idea of what a woman should be. I can still see her today, a very active, tall, long-legged girl in motion.”

- It is therefore not surprising to us, but surprising to those who accept Rand’s individualist rhetoric at face value, that all of the heroes of Rand’s novels are clearly, even comically Nordic. Howard Roark, the heroic architect of The Fountainhead, is described as having “hair neither blond nor red, but the exact color of ripe orange rind” and “a body of long straight lines and angles, each curve broken into plains.”[6] His great love, Dominique Francon has grey eyes and pale gold hair.[7] The great love of the hero of Anthem is simply referred to as “The Golden One.”

- In Atlas Shrugged, the heroine Dagny Taggart , has grey eyes and brown hair.[8] The heroic steel plant owner with whom she has a torrid affair, Hank Rearden, is described as having eyes with “the color and quality of pale blue ice” and ash-blond hair, with prominent cheekbones.[9] Ragnar Danneskjold, the Scandinavian pirate who raids foreign aid ships in order to fight against the collectivists directly, has “gold hair and a face of… shocking perfection of beauty.”[10] John Galt, the ultimate hero of Atlas Shrugged, the scientific genius and ideal man, has “chestnut-brown” hair, “the loose strands of the hair shading from brown to gold in the sun… his eyes were the deep, dark green of light glinting on metal.”[11] He has “angular planes” for cheeks, once again, suggesting a Nordic phenotype.

- There is one possible non-Aryan hero in Atlas Shrugged — Francisco Domingo Carlos Andres Sebastian d’ Anconia. However, even here Rand writes, “Nobody described his appearance as Latin, yet the word applied to him, not in its present, but in its original sense, not pertaining to Spain, but to ancient Rome. … His features had the fine precision of sculpture. His hair was Black and straight, swept Black. The suntan of his skin intensified the startling color of his eyes: they were a pure, clear blue.”

- Though this worship was rationalized by Rand, clearly the Objectivist “sense of life” prizes the Aryan physical ideal — an ideal the Jewess Alisa Rosenbaum could worship, but never possess.

Solid criticisms.

Despite her Aryan hero-worship and thorough appreciation for the will to power of self-determined and defiantly masculine men, her Jewy overemphasis on materialism inevitably crept in and made itself known in her work.

OP, I would recommend both fiction and non-fiction books published here:

When I first read it, I didn't realise ayn rand was a kike.
No it makes sense, the (((Best))) people from society retreat and leave the world to crumble to shit, just waitiing for the day when they can re-emerge with a technological advantage and take over the whole planet.
It is literally EXACTLY what israel is going to do.

And do you have any evidence? Any quotes from supposed cultural marxists who select and tell those groups?

Atlas Shrugged is a wonderful book if you're an anarcho-capitalist. Don't ask pol what they like…EVERYTHING is "Kike this kike that" even the people who represent the values of Pol down to a TEE are called kikes.

Pol is just a bunch of fucking cucks who are afraid of any jew or non-jew that they feel might be even slightly jewey.

Read this book if you love capitalism, and fucking hate government. That's all you need to know.

And if you are a fan of porn novels directed toward females.

...

...

To Rand, acknowledgement of any innate in-group preference present in almost every human is backwards and primitive, but obsession with sex and material possessions is not. Typical kike non-sense.

Same D&C shitposting that happens in every other thread.

Socialist and communist doesn't like ayn rand, shocking.

Atlas Shrugged was a very good book, but deeply flawed in terms of execution. Dagny's promiscuity, along with Galt being a long-winded cunt, put an unnecessary strain on the narrative. In Rand ' s pursuit to write a book that enhanced and added to The Fountainhead in every possible aspect, she attached a few dozen cars too many to her train–so to speak–and wrote a tome that was, from a literary perspective, ultimately inferior to her original work.

The Fountainhead was complex, elegant, and beautiful. Further, its message could be summed up in a single sentence without selling short the final product: mediocrity and degenerate are symptoms of tyranny and oppression.

Atlas Shrugged, on the other hand, while being no less a wonderful book, can only be described as complex and long-winded. The message(s) espoused by AS are, without a doubt, essential to understanding the importance of letting the human will and spirit roam free by virtue of meritocracy in a capital driven society. The great success of currency was that it was being established as an objective reflection of the human spirit and it's indomitable drive and innovation in a truly free environment. The tragedy is that the people at both the very top and the very bottom sought to enslave that spirit by using the paper medium that reflected their spiritual drive and individual merits in the face of a collective of parasites. The men of liberty would always be a minority among a legion of tyrants.

Rand was Jewish, but she was a red-pilled Jew if ever one existed. Multiple critics have pointed out how much she avoided Jewish characters and emphasized Celts and Saxons. This was not by accident. I'm not saying she was self-hating, but she was keenly aware of Zions and the Soviet threat at all times. She was always paranoid that she would one day here Ivan's laugh before shot in the head.

Rand is Holla Forums regardless of what you fuckers think. True, she is associated with Libertarian-tards, but you need look no further than her own words to see that she looked upon with antipathy (see also: "Libertarians are the hippies of the right.").

*degeneracy

Fucking phone.

Stop lying. Everything you said is completely wrong. You have never read one of her books.


You just parrot what leftists tell you about her.

only fiction books worth reading are the works of Tolkien tbh fam

Wrong. Rand hated anarchism. Gulch had a government that used the Constitution. They just added an amendment saying separation of economy and state.

Galts Gulch was anarcho-capitalist and used the non-aggression principle.

repeating it wont make it true.

lol, just saying that government was non fucking existent in galts gulch. Economy was entirely free-market capitalism in its purest sense.

No gov + Capitalism = AnarchoCapitalism. Which is the ideal system anyways.

If you want to read the Qur'an, I would reccomend Bill Warner's version, since otherwise it is gibberish in no logical order

or, I should say, it was an entirely voluntaryist society.

"The rectangle of light in the acres of a farm was the window of the library of Judge Narragansett. He sat at a table, and the light of his lamp fell on the copy of an ancient document. He had marked and crossed out the contradictions in its statements that had once been the cause of its destruction. He was now adding a new clause to its pages: "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of production and trade….""

Atlas Shrugged.


What's the difference between your wordy new term and simple self defense?

I can second this user's recommendation

best version

There's also Anthem and We The Living, which are great. Only someone completely broken by the Commies could write such amazing tales.

If you haven't at least read through parts of these you're not redpilled and not Holla Forums.

Gravity's Ranbow - Thomas Pynchon

This book is not in any way an overt / in your face redpill, but moreso about how people work.

Also about the best writing and story I have ever come across.

I'm sort of obsessed with GR. I'm currently halfway through my 10th (I think) read now.

Also - first time back to Holla Forums for over a year now. Got a divorce, custody battles, moved etc. What's the state of this site now? 4chan is a fucking cesspool I have seen.

I haven't finished it yet but it's quite alright.

Infinite Jest has more memes.

these are pretty good

patrician taste user, well done

I'm yet to get the funding to fully expand my library to everything that I want, but I have read meditations.

He makes a few good points, but thanks to repetition if I were to sum it up for anybody and give them something that could count towards being a "theme" or a "moral"
it would be:

"Who does this guy think he is? Is he special? No, no-one is special, everyone ends up dead, so don't worry about it. Just try to act justly"

Now I may not be supremely educated, but this strikes me as nihilism.

I'm sure that on subsequent read-throughs I will take away something different that I missed the first time around, there were a few moments where it was really illuminating, but the only reason I took away the "Everyone dies, so no one is important, don't be a dick" message was because it pops up in almost every volume/section and sometimes even 3 or 4 times within 7 or so meditations.

Happens even later on when he was out commanding in the field in his later years…. must have gone a bit senile if he's repeating himself that much.

Just download pdfs, it's not hard.

I know I can, but pdfs just sit there, and there are so many distractions on the computer. I like to sit there with a book and just read, also I like the feel and even the smell of a book, and it's nice to do something that's not electronic.

I suppose I could get a kindle or something, but I'm not entirely sold yet, I just tend towards books slightly more…..

So unless I get a kindle, pdfs just sit in my files not being read. I downloaded the full Uriel Ventris Space Marine series on pdf and got an e-reader, but it just sat in my files not being read.

Sell me a kindle, man.

Yeah, I have the same problem. My pdf files just sit there, I just don't have the motivation to read them. Even with my physical books, I can barely get myself to read them.

You can do that pretty easily. You just need a lot of money.

The Northwest Independence novels.

www.northwestfront.org

This book is the Sci Fi book that Adolf Hitler would have written if he became a sci fi writer instead of leader of Germany.

While it's intended to be ironic and written by a leftist, it is still a great read and captures the spirit of fascism. And I'm not even actually a supporter of fascism or naziism myself.

Into the trash it goes.

good art captures the subject well enough that it doesn't matter what the author's opinion was. Taxi Driver wasn't intended to be sympathetic either.

I think we should both get e-reading devices or something….

woops..

...

You can tell someone is new when they use the word "nazism".

Goebbels used the word nazi.

In response to it being turned into a slur.

Step your game up Holla Forums

That book has a great message.
Read it. It is the work of a woman who escaped Jewish communism in Russia and has most accurately predicted the state of downfall we are in today.

It was already a slur in 1920?

Do you even know the roots of the slur? It goes back to their hatred of Christ and Christianity.

Dunno how factual this really is but

LaVey's morals aren't actually bad even though they're dressed in an edgy satanic outfit

I would imagine most people wouldn't find these principles "evil" unless you told them they come from a satanist.

...

"LaVey had many great similarities to George Lincoln Rockwell. They were both showmen. Rockwell's father was a Vaudevillian. LaVey had been a carnival man. LaVey had concluded that if God as portrayed by the Christian church [the way it exists] represents weakness and even suicide, then it stands to reason that his opposite adversary [Satan] has got to be worth a second reappraisal. Satan must represent strength and vitality in a Promethean sense. So on the basis of that LaVey formed his Church of Satan. I thought that was absolutely brilliant."
-James Mason

This means we must PRAISE KEK for all he has given us and never deny him.

It's true you know. When I was a teenager I employed magic in order to ensure a successful career, and I've always landed on my feet even though I've made some really bad choices. Currently on a fast track to be a multi-millionaire, worth maybe 500k right now in my early 20s. I'm not even sure if the magic had any real effect or if it was just sheer chance, but I will never deny it's power.

I'll always recommend this book.

Posting some of my favorites in no particular order

...

I wouldn't say that. The book is just a collection of personal notes he took and was never intended for publication. In addition, the repetition of certain themes indicates their significance and reveals a great deal about the mind of the Emperor Aurelius.

Some charts from /lit/

It's Garbage. Read Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein.

...

Does pol have any book recommendations about Pinochet?

'The Israeli Connection.

do you think so

Friendly reminder that real transsexuals are more than likely way less than "less than 1% of the population" statistic and basically almost nonexistent. Commies literally redefined a group so that they could claim to be a member and "educate" people about the group and how oppressed they are while simultaneously destroying our youth. Also that if we didn't have our current fucked up morals like "just let them be themselves" and "human experimentation is wrong 100% of the time even if the people consent" we could probably learn how to cure them without hormones or mutilation. Thanks, kikes.

These are pretty good rules, tbh.
