LITTLE RED BOOK (ZEDONG) I went through a Communist phase when I was 16 I'm ashamed that I gave someone money to buy this I'm ashamed that I still own it BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME (COATES) Had to read it for a critical philosophy class Awful Idpol race- baiting Spoiler alert: "everything is the yt man fault" The ending is a helluva plot twist 0 The new movie is awful, please watch the 1930 version contains my favorite quote ever Finished it in six hours THE AWAKENING (CHOPIN) THE PLAGUE (CAMUS) THE IDIOT (DOSTOYEVSKY) Read this in March 2020, at the beginning of COVID quarantine "Prince Myushkin, it's 4 AM! Time for you to buy me a gift and me to yell at you about it!" My 11th grade English teacher had us read books by only woman authors that year and this happened to be the best one Life was tough for women in the 19th century, they were pretty much forced baby factories Totally worthwhile, my second-favorite Dostoyevsky work ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN THIS WAY FOR THE GAS, LADIES FRONT (REMARQUE) AND GENTLEMEN (BOROWSKI) Most famous novel to come out of WWI, quintessential anti-war message It's really good but I prefer Storm of Steel (DOSTOYEVSKY) Dostoyevsky's most famous novel THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO (MARX) Read it for a Russian history class Man makes some good points but I'm sure he'd be rolling in his grave to see what resulted Everyone should read it even though it makes a good case for communism About the thoughts of a murderer as he THE JUNGLE (SINCLAIR) My leftist 9th grade English teacher made us read it kills a landlady and afterward It's actually really good, life was tough before modern labor laws WHITE NIGHTS (DOSTOYEVSY) NIGHT (WIESEL) Dostoyevsky Read it because it writes a whimsical romance story about falling in love As a teenager Wiesel experienced the Holocaust and watched his family die Super good psychological study Thank God for Theodore Roosevelt The similarities are eerie Made me realize that throughout all of history plagues have similar effects on society Also Camus is a great writer Written by an Auschwitz prisoner who was tasked with guiding Jews to the gas chambers and undressing them for two years CRIME AND PUNISHMENT A CONFESSION (TOLSTOY) Visceral and Wrote about the horrible things he saw and was forced to do Committed suicide shortly after publication Wrote a concise and impactful narrative about the experience Must-read, can be completed in a few hours Tolstoy's commentary on his relatable experiences with suicidal thoughts Ironically makes a good case for suicide DAS KAPITAL (MARX) DISCOURSES ON LIVY The more It's pretty dry and I economic side wanted to put it of The Communist Manifesto down but my grade depended on it "He who continues to live a meek life is the real coward [...] suicide is bravery." Will never read it again, most of it is adequately refuted by Wealth of Nations FREEDOM FOR ME: A CHINESE YANKEE (HAAS) About a Chinese child soldier in the Civil War When I bought it I didn't realize it was a children's book and I felt insulted How did he put up with this s--- fr My least favorite Dostoyevsky work Moral of the story: 99% of people don't want to kill anyone, and when they have to do it, it impacts them the rest of their lives Did you know 20,000 bullets were fired for every dead insurgent in the Iraq War? THE LITTLE PRINCE (SAINT-EXUPÉRY) Reread it recently because I read it when I was like 7 Much more impactful as an adult Truly the most beautiful children's book CATCHER IN THE RYE (SALINGER) Was my favorite Very accurately novel from captures the 2014-2020 thoughts of a depressed 16 year old boy (MACHIAVELLI) Machiavelli fangirls over Ancient Rome Does explain why Rome succeeded over other contemporary societies but there's a lot of pro-Rome propaganda in it Takes place in 1947 but swap a few words and it could be 2022 FATHERS AND SONS (TURGENEV) The quintessential Russian epic to come out of the 1860s To me it was hella boring and it read like Russian Wuthering Heights Must-read for anyone who has ever rowed I got an A on an essay I wrote about it so whatever THE BOYS IN THE BOAT (BROWN) About the US men's eight at the 1936 Berlin Olympics Truly-inspirational story, absolutely beautiful and gripping My favorite book when I was in middle school, it's about a cabin boy on an airship in the 1920s Gripping pirate adventure story, it's made for 11-15 year olds but I've reread it as an adult ON KILLING (GROSSMAN) AIRBORN (OPPEL) GOING SOLO (DAHL) Psychological analysis of Roald Dahl's autobiography of his time in the RAF in WWII what war does to people INTO THIN AIR (KRAKAUER) The most well-known account of the 1996 Mt. Everest disaster The author did some sketchy stuff but it got me interested in the subject Schooler, inspired a love of mountaineering that continues today THE PRINCE (MACHIAVELLI) Was my favorite nonfiction book from 2016-2021 Holds up as an adult Kept an annotated copy on my bedside and treated it as genuine advice until I figured out Machiavelli was being sarcastic Mountains are so cool I'm still going to name my first child Niccolò ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES (DARWIN) The one and only scientific book I'm willing to read Think it should be required in high school bio classes Darwin says that the biological purpose of an organism is to reproduce and die; and if it cannot fulfill the first condition, it must fulfill the second. THIS VAST LAND (AMBROSE) "Undaunted Courage" for kids to me for my 9th birthday There were explicit sex scenes, it was awesome He was such a badass, he shot down many German planes and got stranded in the desert He's a charismatic writer, too ANGELS (SHAARA) My uncle gave it The quintessential novel about autobiographical, considering Dostoyevsky's gambling addiction THE DIVINE COMEDY (ALIGHIERI) Bible fanfiction detailing horrific conditions in the Gulag F--- Stalinism Valuable to read, added a lot to my vocabulary Also the founding epic of the modern Italian language which is chill HEART OF DARKNESS (CONRAD) A Belgian colonial bureaucrat talks of his experiences with the savage Congolese Modern leftists paint it as a white supremacist manifesto but it's really not that bad Apocalypse Now makes sense when you realize it's a remake of this book Ca THE KILLER the Battle of Gettysburg Goes into spectacular detail, get attached to historical characters I cried at the end and you will too 12 RULES FOR LIFE (PETERSON) Bought it out of spite for all the people who hate it It's just mediocre, Peterson takes four sentences to say THE GAMBLER (DOSTOYEVSKY) (DOSTOYEVSKY) Pretty standard Dostoyevsky novel, My favorite Dostoyevsky book about a desperate gambler Semi- one PEAK (ROLAND) KOLYMA TALES (SHALAMOV) CANDIDE (VOLTAIRE) My second-favorite book as a Middle Anti-communist book About a young man who experiences liscentious debauchery and loses faith in the world Lots of sex and comedy But I didn't find any Fascism or hate in it NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND Captures depression and disassociation with timeless accuracy Everyone should read it Written 300 years ago but still funny
