1: It looks like you just buy meme books and don't really dig into the bibliographies of specific authors or schools of thought. It's patchy, eclectic and inconsistent.
2: You've got a copy of Pihkal just chilling out on your shelf. I've got a copy of the other one, Tihkal. I've had it for maybe a decade and it's just sat there because I don't think I'm ever going to actually synthesize my own 5-MeO-DMT or whatever lol.
3: I should read some Hermann Hesse at some point. In turn, I'm gonna suggest you pick up a copy of Alan Watts' 'The Supreme Identity'.

Read 'The Supreme Identity' as I suggested. It's the book Watts wrote after he'd been exposed to the works of Coomaraswamy and Guénon, before he left the Church to become a preacher of Orientalism to the beatniks and hippies.
If an honest exegesis of Buddhism is what you're after, then you're barking up the wrong tree IMO.
I don't think I've read anywhere near enough material on Buddhism to be an authority on it, particularly when it comes to sources more authoritative than Watts or the traditionalists.

being perfectly candid, I never started with his books. I started with his lectures on YouTube. Just laid back and took it in. He uses a lot of stories and metaphors and it's incredibly cozy, which is what I needed at the time.
After I ran that well mostly dry, I moved on to the books and felt I got more out of them after having heard his talks. He has great cadence imo.

Nope, it's not. I say that as a modern German historian.

All of them have individual merits. There is no singular biography because he sits atop one of the greatest sets of historical controversies.

Is the Holocaust sui generis?

What role did Hitler play? Was the racial state a function of his person or those around him? Was the Holocaust intentional on his part, did he order it or not?

Canards follow and dog each effort to write on his life. Was he Jewish? Was he syphilitic? Was he in love with his cousin? Was he missing a nut? Was he a druggie? Did he have Asperger's? Was he self conscious about being Austrian from the woods?

Did he know what was going on at Wannsee?

All these issues make writing on Hitler and his myth difficult.

Ian Kershaw is pretty good.

>Is Paglia worth reading?
