That doesn't answer my question amigo.

You asked if it was in my digital or paper library, I said that I don't have a digital library, I think that answers the question pretty well.

God damn it, I'm done. It's not worth continuing on about.

[Conserative Morality]

Also we need a regulation of the English language to prevent shit popping up and some anthropologist type tell us that bastardization has value.

>Twelve Caesar's, Suetonius
>Roman Lives, Plutarch
>Ammianus Marcellinus' history of the Late Roman Empire

>On the Incarnation, Athanasius the Great
>On Marriage and Family Life, John Chrysostom
>The Enemy At His Pleasure, S. Ansky

There's also a few Marxist books from back in my Leninist days:
>State and Revolution, Lenin
>Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, Lenin
>Foundations of Leninism, Stalin
>Dialectical and Historical Materialism, Stalin

And some I intend to order

>Byzantine Army, 284-1081, Treadgold

>Late Roman Empire, A.H.M. Jones
>Saddam Hussein, a Political Biography, Ephraim Karsh (I don't agree with the author ideologically)
>Debriefing the President: The Interrogation of Saddam Hussein, John Nixon

Mi librari is split between digital and physical as for books I own, but...

Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World
Social Origins Of Dictatorship And Democracy: Lord And Peasant In The Making Of The Modern World
The Collapse Of The Third Republic:
Meditations (Marcus Aurelius)
Beyond Good And Evil
Thus Spake Zaruthustra
Storm Of Steel
Memoirs Of Napoleon Bonaparte
Hagakure
Bushido: The Soul Of Japan

Not including fiction natch. And just including the stuff I keep handy.

Meditations is good taste, even if I don't agree with it (though, I keep a copy of The Republic + The Symposium on hand, so I can't talk).

[United Muscovite Nations]

Forgot fiction:

>War and Peace, Tolstoy
>The Idiot, Dostoevsky
>Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky
>Scenes from the House of the Dead, Dostoevsky
>The Three Musketeers + all sequels, Dumas

You’re missing “Crime and Punishment”. That being said, is “The Brothers Karamazov” good? I initially meant to read that one, but I found CaP instead. XD

Yes, it's extremely good for understanding Orthodox spirituality, especially those occurring in Imperial Russia. A good book for understanding the Tsarist political view, though, is Dostoevsky's "Demons", and even "Scenes from the House of the Dead" is good for conveying a lot about Dostoevsky's view on humanity.

My personal library doesn’t have as much philosophy as I would like, but I can name a couple good titles:
“On the Question of Sanity” by G.K. Chesterton
“Orthodoxy” by Chesterton
“The Introduction to the Devout Life” by St. Francis de Sales
“The Art of Loving God” by de Sales
“The Story of A Soul” by St. Therese of Liseux
“A History of the Church” edited by Dr. Scott Hahn
“Supremacy and Survival” by Stephanie Mann
“A History of the World in Six Glasses” by Tom Standage
“Fathers of the Church” by Fr. Mike Aquilina
“Imitation of Christ” by Thomas A Kempi

...And that’s some of my more “intellectual” books. I also have a lot of children’s literature, because I really like some kids’ books.

You didn't read more than a few pages, the parts I mentioned are at the beginning. You called The Abolition of Man "trashy", which is sheer philistineism (unsurprising from someone who thinks there is never ceremony to eating), and defended yourself from this just charge dishonestly. This is a deceptive way to give unmerited weight to your opinion.

Might as well call me an intellectual because I haven’t gotten past page 100 of Chesterton’s “Orthodoxy”. (It’s actually a very dense read, though I love it so.)

What deception is she committing by saying she had depression and lost the will to read? I do hope you never suffer depression. Then again, having it might build some perspective for you. Certainly did for me.

I have had it. It gave me a profound attention span when it came to contemplation of suicide, it was like being lovesick for death--not even death, but specifically suicide. I am sure I would have killed myself if a gun ever made it into my hands during that period.

Cool! I found his writing style to be very thick, but also very fluid...like maple syrup. I’ll probably enjoy this book when I can get it.

tbqh the only way I've ever been able to make it through Dostoevsky (who I actually enjoy despite the difficulty I have with him) is via audiobook.

The start of “Crime and Punishment” was really clunky, but the characters were interesting.

My room is a strange little world in itself where the Hagakure sits next to the Gothic Lolita Bible, an anthology of Futurist Manifstos, and a bunch of other books completely unrelated to each other. I'd buy The Anarchist Cookbook to complete the set if that wouldn't basically put me on a government watch list.

It's really small, but I only got back into reading recently. I'd also add the Bible, the New Testament specifically, since I'm reading through that.

“All Quiet on the Western Front” is one of my absolute favorite novels.

"First of all, what is it really all about? What is it you object to? You want to abolish Government?”

“To abolish God!” said Gregory, opening the eyes of a fanatic. “We do not only want to upset a few despotisms and police regulations; that sort of anarchism does exist, but it is a mere branch of the Nonconformists. We dig deeper and we blow you higher. We wish to deny all those arbitrary distinctions of vice and virtue, honour and treachery, upon which mere rebels base themselves. The silly sentimentalists of the French Revolution talked of the Rights of Man! We hate Rights as we hate Wrongs. We have abolished Right and Wrong.”

“And Right and Left,” said Syme with a simple eagerness, “I hope you will abolish them too. They are much more troublesome to me.”

It's so very deep and serious, and yet simultaneously so very jovial and light-hearted. I love it.

Demons is not really a Tsarist work. I mean, it is a conservative work, and I am sure a Tsarist could derive much from it, but it never extols Tsarism anymore than Solzhenitsyn does.

Chesterton’s writing just fills the soul. It’s honest, down-to-earth, and grave, but always twinkling. There’s an essay he wrote about Christmas in “On the Question of Sanity” and it never ceases to make me cry. I need to post it around Christmas (though I don’t want to type the whole thing).

I would say it's Tsarist on the basis that Dostoevsky would have identified his reactionary position with the Autocracy.
