I really need to dive back into that book

Do you think it's a good idea to read two books on the train?

so I don't get bored of one

I have the WN Manifesto which is really short

could probably finish the whole thing

read BAP, i couldn't put that book down

Yeah, I usually have about 3 books I'm going through. One is usually really serious non-fiction, one serious fiction, and one is some fun read to tune out

Can't have only one super serious book to read

I haven't read a fiction story book in like 2 years, but I think I found one to get back into it.

@Flint Becoming more nationalist has actually pushed me further left economically

Stephen Pressfield's "Gates of Fire" should be mandatory, imho

Why should I support policies that benefit a business elite which wants to replace us?

@Lawrence of Eurabia Well, I can only read the books I brought with me

Honestly, the man is the greatest alive at historical fiction. Gates of Fire is about the Spartans at Thermopylae

It's a West Point req'd reading list book

Ernst Junger's "Storm of Steel" was pretty good. I'm looking for the 1922 version though, cause I hear it's a lot different than the one from the 1970's.

I really liked Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic War

Storm of Steel was good as far as historical works go, but there was no narrative

Gates of Fire will challenge you as a man--no joke

I'll look into it. I should probably read it being a Cadet

Yeah, you'll have to, eventually

I'm also gonna write up interview questions for Jared Taylor on the train

There's no harder book on 'being hard' than Gates of Fire

That's literally what it's about

the last fiction book I read was Pat Conroy's "The Lords of Discipline"

Dudes at various ages going through the battle of Thermopylae in various ranks and experiences--while being written by an arguably master historical novelist

GOT has nothing on GoF

my goal is to write history books someday

The only book I read once a year

Read Stephen Pressfield to see what a master at the craft looks like

Patton's "War As I Knew It" was a really interesting book. It's the collection of the journals that his wife edited and allowed to be used, and the start of the book he was never able to finish.

being in this organization makes me feel so dumb

normally I'm more well read than the people in around

but then I go to IE meetups and the conversations are way over my head

I'm not a well read as most people in IE, but I'm defiantly more read than your average guy my age

they're always analyzing philosophy that I can't understand

most philosophy probably needs to be read multiple times

most books in general need to be read multiple times unless it's simple stuff

well

it probably depends on your reading level

I got lazy with reading as a teenager
