Reading 36 Stratagems Plus by BS Douglas S. Tung while sippin a White Russian

Metamorphosis is genuinely one of the best books I've ever read. Hard to believe it was written so long ago. If you enjoyed it I'd recommend Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf, lot of similar themes.

reading the life of pi rn, on chapter 50 or so

Classic. You seen the movie?

Wow seeing the thread is beyond refreshing. I love reading!!

Fukk yes

Dope. Philosophy books can be tough reads

We need a new Black empowerment thread, I don't wanna be OP though.

But on topic, what we are lacking as a community the most is the political power + solidarity in politics. This book is touching on all of that; electric read. Almost done with it.

Same it's nice to read the thread

Agreed. The Autobiography of Malcolm X is my next read

Great stuff. HMU if you want more lit in the same vein.

Hi guys I know this question has been asked multiple times on the OG KTT but I found myself in a place where I reallllly need someone to recommend me smhtn

What are your fave books?

Any of you read "The Book of Disquiet"?

I've tried reading books that are simply reflections on a certain subject but I found myself getting bored real quick
So I'm looking for a story that has a begging and an end and also has some hidden meaning behind it. I don't the story to be shallow.
I'm very into stoicism so the book can be a bit "depressing" I don't mind. I'd even prefer a book that's gonna leave me wondering for days than a happy one that I'll just be glad it's over

Thanks in advance

Reading East of Eden right now, about 2/3 of the way through it. I've been putting it off for awhile because of how long it is but I regret not reading it sooner, Steinbeck really is the GOAT

My favourite book is The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy. Simply amazing. You should give that book a try! It's a novella, around 100 pages(depending on translation language). It's about live and death and how to cope with the fact that eventually you'll die.

Thanks for the stickie S!
