Date: December 29th, 2025 7:58 PM Author: French avocado internal respiration goyim i assume everyone knows that mishima was a flaming lisping homo who larped as a samurai. less known is the fact that when he competed in kendo, he also fought, befitting a homo, in the least manly way possible -- the complete opposite of what he describes in runaway horses.
ps. it looks like there are 2 books by him, not 3. that's still 2 too many. |

Date: December 29th, 2025 7:55 PM Author: talking site 24/50 and then i lost interest. way more than expected given my utter lack of interest in classical literature. I would happily replace 1/2 of these with isaac asimov. Including a lot of the russians. Anna Karenina is trash.
Ok 20/50 for the bottom 50. Still no asimov. I only came back to check. I mean dune ffs but not asimov? |

Date: December 29th, 2025 8:18 PM Author: cyan big church I've read 28, broken down roughly as follows:
Middle School: ~4 High School: ~10 College: ~4
The remaining ~10 were when I was in my early 30s or so and for a while chose what to read by simply going down a list of the best 100 novels of all time (which looked very similar to this list) and read whichever ones were under 300 pages. |
|
Date: December 29th, 2025 10:33 PM Author: Maroon vivacious church building I have read about half these. Some of these picks are pure crap. Also, the idea that people are sitting around reading a critique of pure reason, the world as will and representation, phenomenology of spirit etc is preposterous. Those books were just added because the people who out the list together are poseurs. You can probably identify the true nature of the faggots who out the list together by isolating the bad picks on the list and assuming they have not read the good picks on the list.

Date: December 29th, 2025 10:59 PM Author: Maroon vivacious church building I acknowledge Kant bro but I also acknowledge that I don’t have the time or inclination to read critique of pure reason and am smart enough to know how much intelligence and effort would be required to appreciate the book. These people haven’t read Kant, never will, certainly will never put in the time to understand it, but that’s not going to stop them from putting him on the list along with Hegel and Schopenhauer (they haven’t read them either) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5815183&forum_id=2).#49548984) |
