St Augustine is really good. If you want a good Christian philosophical work, "Confessions" is a great one by him, readily available in English.

On Christian Teachings by Saint Augustine
The Culture of the Teutons by Vilhelm Grønbech
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.

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.
I’m sorry you’ve suffered through it then, but in that case you should be more sympathetic to WG then.

I need to find a way to traverse 4900 miles in a single day so I can get my hands on the Tama-dasuki.

It is vulgar and foolish to look down upon the ways of one's own district as being boorish, or to be even a bit open to the persuasion of the other place's ways and to think about giving up one's own. That one's own district is unsophisticated and unpolished is a great treasure. Imitating another style is simply a sham.

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