Are you a homosexual or trying hard to be edgy?

Books for someone who wants more than just tearing shit down:

Aurelius - Meditations

Tolkien - Lord of the Rings

Lewis - That Hideous Strength

Adams - Watership Down

Dostoyevsky - Brothers Karamazov

Hobbes - Victoria

Heinlein - Starship Troopers

Some of those are too heavy for someone easing into real literature.

I agree on that point.

Aurelius - Meditations

If you want to get into the Greeks you need to start properly

Roman, but I didn't recommend it because of its context. It contains better life advice than the "just do it" self help books of today.

Again this is too heavy for someone starting out. I know a lot of people read it in their teens but those lengthy songs are offputting. He should start with The Hobbit instead.

Perhaps.

Why would you recommend a final book in a trilogy?

Because it stands on its own well enough and is the most important of the three.

Dostoyevsky - Brothers Karamazov

Way too heavy.

True. I just love it.

For Russian literature start with something like The Master and Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov. I like the Michael Glenny translation myself.

I hate the light satanism and Christ the doormat approach of that book.

Hobbes - Victoria

You want to start him off with fucking Hobbes?

It's a very different Hobbes. We're not talking about the Leviathan guy. The book is from 2015 IIRC and gives a family man's scenario of 4th generation warfare in a US context.

Heinlein - Starship Troopers

>Its okay but not much different from what >>13066942 suggests.

If promotes healthy relations between sexes and one's duties. I consider it essential reading for young men of today.

Agree. Good jumping off point.

Hobbes - Victoria

You want to start him off with fucking Hobbes? Do you want him to never pick up a book again ever?

Heinlein - Starship Troopers

Its okay but not much different from what >>13066942 suggests.

Ease into it.

A Farewell to Arms - Ernest Hemingway

Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell

Animal Farm - George Orwell

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley

The Master and Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov (Glenny translation). Russians are God tier when it comes to literature.

If you are thirsty for more start browsing /lit/. Half chans version is still good.
