I've heard Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is flawed, and modern research invalidates a good portion of it. Is there a modern equivalent that's better?

does anyone know the quote that goes along the lines of "you can tell how advanced a civilization is by the level of detail of their iconography?
who said it? whats the exact quote?

>>18233462
I want to write a sci-fi religion focus book. The story would be divided into three parts, with each part having a well defined message divided into 10 chapters. The closest examples of books doing this are Dune and the Lord of The Rings... And yet people remember most of those books for the world they created, even Lotr with all his symbolism falls into orks against man and such... Do I really need to sacrifice the world I have created in order to push the message into a higher position?

How many hours do you read a day on average, and what is your occupation?

WW2 books that give me an insight and impact of it that I couldn't get from wikipedia

Looking for books on;

The Troubles/Irish independence.

A book that focuses on the psychology/history around the feeling of anger/revenge. I.e "Wrath is mans most primal feeling"

Books on the economic foundation of the Roman Empire.

Books on the economic foundation of medieval Europe, focus on the Italian city-states.

Books on the development of Finnish military culture.

Books on the aftermath of Germanys' loss in WW1.

Books on the greek/Balkan independence movements during the 1800s.
Maybe extend that into the shift from Roman to Greek identity during the 1800s too.

If you mean novels then some good ones from a soviet soldier's perspective are "They Fought for Their Country " and "Fate of a Man" by Mikhail Sholokhov. Also The Living and the Dead trilogy by Konstantin Simonov.
>>18233960
>A book that focuses on the psychology/history around the feeling of anger/revenge. I.e "Wrath is mans most primal feeling"
"On Aggression" by Konrad Lorenz is ok.
>Books on the aftermath of Germanys' loss in WW1
"The Road Back " by Remarque is the only book I can remember but its kinda meh
>>18233462
Ok, my question. Is Sartre worth reading?
I finished reading Kierkegaard's and Dostoevsky's works and want to read other existentialists. People on lit often say that Sartre has no good books but no one elaborates why. Is he THAT bad? And why he sucks so much?

>>18234194
Cheers on the suggestions mate.

>>18234194
He's out of fashion but still worth reading. It's not surprising that he has many detractors here as he mainly espouses an atheist existentialism oppossed to Pascal and Kierkegaard, sort of bastardized Husserl's terminology and, unlike Heidegger, he was politically engaged throughout his life.

Book or books that go over all the epochs and describe all the plants and animals? Especially the megafauna. I miss those niggas like you wouldn't believe

Books that really show you the datura experience?

Whats the best english language edition of this

I’ve been looking for a book, I’m pretty sure it’s by Roberto Bolano, about a young adult that decides to read through the Greeks. Does anyone know what book this is?

>>18233480
>I've heard Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is flawed

You can't really trust the critics. Based on their criticisms, you'd think the entire work was about the sack of Rome by Vandals, but that's only part 36 out of 71! Consider reading it. It's much more sophisticated than you'd think.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_The_History_of_the_Decline_and_Fall_of_the_Roman_Empire#Contents

There's no modern analog, but I'd start with "The Tragedy of Empire: From Constantine to the Destruction of Roman Italy". It has a helpful reading guide in the back too.

What is the verb for "slow motion"?

>>18233480
It's still quite good. Modern academics like criticizing bits of it, but overall it's still a very solid work without a modern equivalent.

what's so great about plato? do people only read him so they can understand later philosphers? i've read euthyphro, apology, and crito. that's not much of course, but i would appreciate it if someone reassured me that there is indeed something worth digging for in these books. i'm gonna read them anyway, but it would help to know what i stand to gain, other than the needed context for understanding other philosophers.

>>18233462
What should I read next? Burckhardt or Dumezil?

You should read them, above all, to be stimulated. I think it's fair to say that, nowadays, most people don't really buy any of the arguments put forth in Plato. (People accept /distinctions/ that Plato made, and people accept modern day descendants of his arguments and concepts.) It's one thing to read Plato and just think "That seems wrong" and move on. It's another thing to stop at each juncture and ask yourself: what's wrong here? What am I not buying about Socrates' way of proceeding? Has he already foreseen my complaint and is actually trying to cut it off? Etc. If you read it in this "interactive" way it will be a much livelier experience. Consider reading the Meno, or the Republic.

>>18241186

why?

>>18241637
thanks for the response. i'm reading the meno as we speak

I am looking for books dealing with narration & speech. How to become in reading for other people, basic techniques to employ.

So if we can't become sinless, then we should redirect our sins towards an activity that will do the least negative damage and the most postiive effects

Is being offensively blunt the best sin to degenerate into from time to time?

Books on redirecting the inner darkness?

>As the proverb tells us that a single drop from the largest vessel suffices to tell us the nature of the whole contents, so we should regard the subject now under discussion. When we find one or two false statements in a book and they prove to be deliberate ones, it is evident that not a word written by such an author is any longer certain and reliable.

Was Polybius right?

I would like to improve my speech with word usage, enunciation and tone. What are good books on this? Are there any books specifically about this?

>>18241986

>>18242032

The book is Demosthenes the Orator by Douglas M. MacDowell, but instead of reading it you should do the things described in my excerpt--speaking while running uphill, speeches with pebbles in the mouth, etc.

>>18242041
Thank you. It's a good excerpt so I wanted to know. I appreciate it anon.

is ‘last days of Socrates’ the best intro to Plato?

currently neeting at parents place. i had a job almost 2.5 years ago but quit (didnt really like it and i was forced to work half a year). i have a physics degree but not planning to do anything with it because i realized way too late that i made a mistake and it was too late to switch the fields. i never really any passion about anything in my life and i hoped that one day i'd find out about it (that didnt happen so far). i guess reading is a bit of an interest, not much else.

>>18242067

There's no best way into Plato, but that collection of 4 dialogues is one of the better entryways, if only for doing a good job of introducing you to Socrates.

>>18242067
Just get the complete works and read Euthyphro>Apology>Crito>Meno

Your first read should be slow and steady and deep, underline and use margins and bookmark very important quotes with a topic/keyword and page number on the bookmark in case the bookmark falls out.

Plato's complete works is - worth having more than one copy.

About as accurate as anything from that presidency is going to be anon. It's accurate in that the cadre of backstabbers, sycophants, and human leeches in it worked for Trump at some point and hated each other, and that Trump both created and was a part of it.

>>18242286
People dump books into those little free libraries from anywhere. It's a total crapshoot. for what it's worth I dropped off some nice history/philosophy books into them before, because I was downsizing.

>About as accurate as anything from that presidency is going to be
So not very much other than the interactions between those who worked in the white house?

>>18242609
It's a dude who sat nearby and wrote or recorded what people said in the WH. 80% of it is 'Trump is angry at X, but doesn't understand Y because he's a retarded manbaby', and then Bannon or another flunky's hot takes on what a dumpster fire the whole endeavor was.
It won't be anything you didn't expect if you know what a shitty, barely literate huckster Trump is, and it won't change your mind if you've drunk the kool-aid.

>>18242643
Thanks friend, but it means that it's as accurate as it gets with no bullshit in between, right?

Has anyone read "Gunship Ace"? Just arrived in the mail and I'm excited to read it.

I'm twenty years old. How long will it take for me to become well-read? I want to have a wide knowledge base because I realized just how much satisfaction I can get from reflecting future experiences I may have with things that I read and study.

I am definitely confident with what I suggested earlier then: try as many thing as you can, whether it's for discovering a passion or to find you next job.

Do a list of thing you could try, just for the sake of trying.

Then, create some sort of template/schedule, and put some items of the previous list in it:
want to try painting in the next two month
want to see how a backery goes within the next six month
want to start working out twice a week

etc

Then, divide those goals into sub-task / categories and plan more accurately in a weekly manner:

eg. with the painting (as a passion)
Monday: go found a book about basics of painting
Tuesday: buy some fcking paint and any tools needed
Wednesday: try sketching some shit on a sketchbook bought the day before
Thursday: start painting
Friday: keep painting and don't bitch
etc

Have it planned every saturday before going to bed, or best plan to weeks ahead so you know what you're doing.

eg. with the backery (as a job)
Monday: update your resumes
Tuesday: print them
Wednesday + Thursday: go wandering and hand out resumes
[DON'T DARE find excuses like "I dunno how to do bread" or whatsoever, even if you have to start as a cashier, you fucking will because that's how you learn the job]
Rest of the week + following one: keep handing resumes / have some interview / do research on bakeries

Then you'll surely start the job, even if it's at minimum wage as you said you where doing nothing, it's still a take.
Once on the job, prob as a cashier or handing out some croissants shit, you'll have to show your dedication, show that you're interested in knowing more. A passionate person (as backer are) will show you the 'behind the scen', you'll learn, and know ultimately if you like it.

You're still young as fuck.
Stop finding excuses or just day dreaming saying you don't know what you do. You have to try, and to fail, hard.
But be warned, you better wake up now, or it'll be too late.
Maybe you'll wake up, hoping that "there would be more".

You have to chase the "more" part you're looking for.
Do it, start now with the list.
I'm with you

if reading books is for someone a reason to live does that make that person consoomer? obviously, relying too much on material goods does, but reading, literature in my opinion falls under the meme if it's the ONLY reason, if said person doesn't commit to anything else, just says "books are the reason i didn't kill myself"
>inb4
books are the reason to live to me, but lack of them wouldn't cause any extremes

>>18243259
Not sure what the exact definition of the meme is, but I always saw it as surface-level, moving from trend to trend kind of consuming. It'd be like reading a book, but never thinking about it deeply and just moving on forgetting it as if it was last week's lunch.

Can we have knowledge of what consciousness is? Is there any books that attempt to answer this question?
>>18242964
I believe you shouldn't look at it as an end goal, but a lifestyle. Just start reading and don't worry about the appearance of being well read, just do it. To answer your question, it depends on how much you read and your comprehension, but a fair guess is 7ish years if youre at the absolute bottom

Where and how do you guys get your books ?
I also do not like to buy books in public,

how do i read faster?

>>18244154
i've heard that buy counting to 4 in your head or humming something and "absorbing" the words, reading them with muting the inner narrator by mention actions. at first it's not easy, but supposedly it gets faster. but really just read in your own pace and read a lot, it will happen naturally, once your attention span gets better

Hi /lit/, /out/ here.

I'm going to be embarking on writing some memoirs, reflections, and musings, and I'm going with a storytelling approach rather than simply recounting episodes.

I don't actually read much (not fiction anyway) which in some ways is probably good in that I won't really be mimicking anybody's style, but the downside I really don't have a strong foundation for what constitutes good writing and storytelling. I'm a pretty good oral storyteller and want to capture all that and more in my writing. Any recommendations for books on the topic that won't lead me astray? These are the top hits on Amazon and they all look really good but which do I choose?

Thanks!

In 1970 that stock’s earnings were 5.20 and in 1969 5.58. In the December quarter of 1970 1.58 against 1969’s 1.56. He then says that this stock shows gain over 1969 with earnings at the rate of 6.32 per year. Where the HELL did he get the 6.32 figure?

>>18251164
nah dude, just self publish. I'm not a writer but this looks to me a lot like what they'd do in music to just take money from you. You can do all of that yourself or pay someone you actually know to do it for you, especially the marketing part.

It’s really more just being active than anything. Having presence that goes along with your product builds your audience. There’s a market for everything you just have to be active in nurturing it. I wouldn’t take that publisher’s deal, it sounds like they just want to take your money.

I read Fear by instead (only took in random sections of Fire&Fury via osmisis). At least Woodward has a long history of chronicling presidencies; it wasn't a book that's very title was taken from a hyperbolic soundbite (i.e. something that the publisher depended on being topical in order for it to sell).

With how divisive Trump is, and the fact that most pundits are blind to systemic issues within the democracy itself (i.e.TDS/seeing Trump as a disease instead of a symptom), I doubt there will be a decent unbiased and penetrating book written on his presidency for at least another 10 - 20 years.

Hi /lit/
I want to read The Illiad, but something tells me that I probably need quite a bit of prerequisite knowledge before being able to enjoy it fully.

For example, I'm not very familiar with ancient greek mythology and I suspect this is something that it at least references.

Are there generally recommended books to read before starting on the illiad and the odyssey?

I have a teleological question based on an example. I am quite new to this. How do you determine the nature of something? For instance, how do you determine whether the nature of an acorn is to become an oaktree in contrast to being food for some animals. The latter would make becoming an oak tree, resulting into more acorns, meaning more food, an accident.

Is Orlando Innamorato worth a read if you've already read Orlando Furioso?

>>18254014
The Illiad is a really good way to learn about greek mythology by itself. Just consider that the greek mythology tradition mostly came with Homer an Hesiod writings and only then came the other poets. So Wikipedia and in-book commentaries should be enough.

>>18254014
And yeah, better start with Hesiod.

>>18254028
>How do you determine the nature of something?
By experience. The "nature" of a thing is just what humans are accustomed to perceive in it and by it. There is no such thing as an immovable eternal innate nature of a thing but only the experience of it which may differ. Read Locke and Hume.

A friend of mine recommended me to listen to the Trojan War Podcast prior to reading the Iliad. The dude behind it makes a living retelling the story to high schoolers so he really knows his stuff.

I would 100% recommend it. I am currently halfway through the Iliad, and I can only imagine how clueless I would have been, had I not listened to those episodes. If I recall correctly, the first 11 episodes all cover events that take place before the events in the Iliad, so if you want you can listen up until that point and then pick up Homer's work.

I am sure that there are great books out there that serve the same purpose, but I found it nice to have something to listen to during my walks/runs.

I want to read Clarice Lispector but I don't know where should I start.
Help me.

If you were actually autistic and being diagnosed as an adult it would probably come as more of a relief than a worrisome label.

Besides, ASD is overdiagnosed now so you can basically write it off. (Diagnoses are handed out so that parents have a working definition as to why their kid is a selfish undisciplined asshole; the vogue of the label bleeds into overdiagnosing adults).
