/lit/ - Literature

For fiction:
1. The Lord of the Rings
2. The Ball and the Cross
3. Crime and Punishment
4. Guards! Guards!
5. The Count of Monte Cristo

Perhaps I will do non-fiction later.

-Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt (it will surprise you how straight she plays it, swore she'd make him gay)
-Memnoch the Devil (ignore the fact she writes not-gay vampire fiction, this book is incredible when it goes to heaven and hell and through all of Lucifer/Memnoch's reasonings)
-Dune and its sequels up to God Emperor (nothing past is anywhere near as good)
-will add the Silmarillion to his recommendation >>260
-The Shadow of the Torturer (maybe the rest but I've yet to finish beyond that)

and for fun goyslop, 50%+ of the old Star Wars EU is far superior to 110% of yidsneyslop SW

>-Dune and its sequels up to God Emperor (nothing past is anywhere near as good)
ignore the movies, Herbert put 5 years of work into these books before he even started writing them, but he only planned up to God Emperor

I haven't read the ball and the cross or Guards! Guards!.
Non-Fiction would be a bit dry- like what would you recommend someone a math textbook.
(Also- fuck that guy)

>>263
Anything written by Terry Pratchett or GK Chesterton is  good. Both are British authors. One is Distributionist Catholic, the other Pragmatist New-Age. Both write truth.

Nonfiction:
1. Anti-Fragile
2. Orthodoxy
3. The Creature from Jekyll Island
4. The Gulag Archipelago
5. Our Enemy the State

>>264
Ok do you read anything that doesn't have a religious bend to it

>>264
>1. Anti-Fragile
This is for niggers, respectfully. All of his work can be summarized as: expect the unexpected.
>t. read all of his works
>4. The Gulag Archipelago
Decent, but there's better works. 200 Years Together is more significant.

>>266
well do you have any suggestions

>>267
1) That Hideous Strength / The Screwtape Letters
2) The Discourses on Livy, The Art of War, and the Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
3) For My Legionaries
4) Ride the Tiger, Pagan Imperialism, Race as a Builder of Leaders, Revolt Against the Modern World
5) The Life Giving Sword / The Book of Five Rings

>>268
for someone who claims to read a lot you sure can't count

>>268
Not bad anon.
>Space Trilogy
You like?
Machiavelli is over-rated and over-reccomended. Clausewitz is a better choice.
>For My Legionaries
Best of the biographies. I want to get my hands on Peron's.

>>273
Phonefagging. Why do you think?

>>274
acceptable answer, I don't think you're "that guy"- decent book suggestions as well

>>275
What else do you like to read?

>>276
Sorry again fren.
I haven't read anything good in a while- I like novels, but so many are just like McDonalds- I finally tried reading Steven King's "Dark Tower" series and I was so fucking frustrated with it- like "this" is what everyone said was so good? It was awful.
I like Sci-Fi and history, as well as detective novels.

>>277
Steven King...shit. 
Nothing more needs saying.

>detective
Have you read Father Brown?

>>278
Steven King- I don't think I've ever read a book where I just thought "what a fucking pervert" before

No I don't think I have read Father Brown, is it a series?

>>279
He's the ur-glowriter.

Chesterton again. They're short stories--usually but not always murders--that examine morality, religion and so on. Kinda like Sherlock.
