>>7970 not the OP but how is a marxist document even remotely related to hindutva?

>>7987 I meant only gandhi book. BUT, a lot of European Marxists were revolutionaries in their own european nations, who inspired Savarkar , whose writings in turn inspired Bhagat singh. I am not a fan of Marxist ideas. but they were used by people on all sides of the spectrum for revolutionary activities. Which in my opinion felt more like finding an idea to justify your violence.

>>7990 Revolutionary impulse and the total remaking of the social order are the only worthwhile things in Marxism. Although as I get older stable reforms become more appealing.

>>7995 Will read the article but am skeptical on the benefits. Mine is usually just being awake with an erection for 5 hours before getting up feeling like fried dog shit.

>>8033 The decline started with the forced integration of schools and became irreversible with the liberal reaction to the Bush admin. Whatever, America will breed the retards that will destroy her.

>>8033 Lol

Struggling to find research articles past 2021. > Help

>>8048 Topic ?

Holy shit i'm a zoomerfag and this thread is a gem

>>7240 >Table , chair and lamp. Why is that hard ? Most people read in their bed or one of the three is shitty. Literally have not met a person with a good reading setup, myself included.

>>8058 I don't own many things , but a dedicated space for reading and writing is very important to me. More so than a good phone or laptop. I did not pay for my table though, I picked it up in the street. In India, I had a box and used to sit on floor which was a good setup, not luxurious. If you need your book or tablet at eye level, get a tablet stand. 30$ can get you a good one easily. Lying down is nice for relaxing fiction, but also encourages passivity and laziness. Both of which are a disease.

>>8058 From within this thread Physical setups are underrated. Luckily you don't need lot of money.

>>8058 https://www.workspaces.xyz/ This is wealth porn, mostly unnecessary. But ignore that and many good organization ideas.

>>180 More sci than lit but eh.

Amazon used to suppress the reach of book that disagree with GAE agenda. BUT, I did not know the following - Amazon can unpublish books - Amazon can 'update' books on your kindle I don't use my kindle much. It has a few old books that I keep as a 2nd reference screen for myself. I am not suprised that Amazon is Malware, but even ebooks I bought, they screw me over for that. Piracy is fine. I do still want to pay the author. Unfortunately only GIta press Gorakhpur seems to provide DRM free ebooks.

>>8116 >>8116 This bothers me a lot. I can pirate a lot of books, the ones I want to support, I can simply order the paperback. But there are many , especially Indian authors which can be hard to order out of India. Indian publishes think android apps are a good idea to tell sell digital books to people who want a digital copy. Then Indians complaint that google as a platform exploits them. We learn nothing from east India company fiasco.

Academiabros can you please help me get these papers? https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/722178 https://academic.oup.com/ajlh/issue/63/2 https://brill.com/view/journals/me/29/5-6/article-p521_7.xml https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10609164.2024.2311607 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00219096221131995

No Domain: The John McAfee Tapes Anyone have this book by Mark Eglinton ? Couldn't find it on the big libraries.

>>8207 Don't have access to them sadly.

>>8207 Forgot about this post. Will check on work laptop on monday

>>8207 No access. Very weird !

>>8207 > Fuck indian court The only reason sci-hub isn't uploading papers after 2021 is because they hope that they will win in indian court. But I think they underestimate the corruption and greed of Indian system.

want to read how political ideologies rise, like rise of nazism and communism.

>>8295 This is a good request. Very few books I can think of , Bloodlands by Timothy Snyder would interest you

Have to get back into reading, just been picking at a few books lately. The Fight by Norman Mailer is quite good, but I don't feel it goes far enough. Would like a more philosophical book.

>>8116 I'm looking into buying an old ass refurbished e reader. Totally offline, no fancy new additions and built like a tank.

>>8387 Go with Pocketbook or Kobo. Kindle is worth it only if super cheap and you plan to use pirated epub/mobi only. >>8386 Bookstores, click pics of whatever you need to pirate and do that. Else, buying a paperback is cheap too. Main thing is to turn off phone and laptop 1-2 hours daily for some sanity.

>>8388 Used bookstores in big cities are quite good, one last refuge. Also great place to meet women for horny anons. Combined with Amazon, they make buying paperbacks and even hardcovers affordable. Oxford world classics and Penguin are absolutely amazing quality and usually affordable new, with classics being under 20 CAD usually. Buying a few per month is a sustainable hobby and about my reading speed as well. Obviously for lalchiwalas its not a good deal because nothing beats free, but I like holding the books and a good edition makes a world of difference to me. Wish there were more people to discuss books with but I feel like I have come full circle in life. When I was young I felt along because I was smarter than my peers, now I have the same sad feeling. Intelligence is secondary to character which is what I have begun to pursue. I don't think I am smarter but I have taken great pains to become a better person in the classical sense of the word. In relation to reading, no one has the same interests or even vaguely similar interpretations. No one reads books and lives their ideas. Mishima is a good example of this. He's grown in popularity and yet the most proactive interpretation is a meathead pretending he is rebelling against the world because he's upped his protein and follows PPL. Reading used to bridge the gap between idea and action but it's long been severed. That's why anons physical fitness (in the historic, classical sense) is so important. Technique, cardio, strength, balance, etc. It allows you to bridge the gap and go from becoming to the superior world of being. Being physically weak is as insulting to your existence as is being willfully stupid. Going to have to transition from Google docs. I realize I have been a retard to rely on it.

>>8412 Different needs. I need lot of books for reference, I also read a lot, 1200 wpm. Carrying books gets very heavy very fast. I already carry 4 notebooks too. e reader is a godsent and I feel like buying a 13 inch one now. Bookstores are godsent, I have met so many good people who became friends for life. India has a better used bookstore scene than anywhere. > Philosophy without strength I subscribe to this as well. If you cannot execute it, then it is pointless. Ofcourse not everyone needs to subscribe to this. Mathematicians can and should fuck around with concepts in their head. Thanks for mentioning Yukio Mishima, Seems like a fun read of a fascinating person.

>>8459 Never giving up notebooks. Pen and paper feel is necessary to me. Even though digital is amazing, pen paper works everywhere without battery.
