And broaden my perspective and horizon
What does /pol/ recommend I read to achieve this?
>>
>>540105505
Depends on what your perspective and current horizon incorporates currently?
Here's a library built around clear-eyed contempt for cant, crowds, and power — writers who, like Hugo in that passage, distrust both the tyrant and the mob that flatters him once he's safely dead.

The misanthropes and moralists
1. Montaigne — Essays
2. La Rochefoucauld — Maxims
3. Pascal — Pensées
4. Swift — Gulliver's Travels
5. Voltaire — Candide
6. Samuel Johnson — Rasselas
7. Schopenhauer — Essays and Aphorisms
8. Nietzsche — Twilight of the Idols
9. Ambrose Bierce — The Devil's Dictionary
10. Cioran — The Trouble with Being Born

Power unmasked
11. Machiavelli — The Prince
12. Thucydides — History of the Peloponnesian War
13. Tacitus — The Annals
14. Suetonius — The Twelve Caesars
15. Shakespeare — Julius Caesar
16. Shakespeare — Coriolanus
17. Dostoevsky — The Grand Inquisitor (in Brothers Karamazov, but worth a standalone edition)
18. Orwell — Animal Farm
19. Koestler — Darkness at Noon
20. Conrad — Nostromo

The mob and its idols
21. Gustave Le Bon — The Crowd
22. Ibsen — An Enemy of the People
23. Sinclair Lewis — Babbitt
24. Mark Twain — The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg
25. Twain — A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
26. Zola — Germinal
27. Balzac — Lost Illusions
28. Flaubert — Bouvard et Pécuchet
29. Molière — Tartuffe
30. Ben Jonson — Volpone

Doomed idealists and disillusioned romantics
31. Cervantes — Don Quixote
32. Stendhal — The Red and the Black
33. Turgenev — Fathers and Sons
34. Chekhov — Selected Stories
35. Flaubert — Sentimental Education
36. Melville — The Confidence-Man
37. Melville — Bartleby, the Scrivener (pair with a Kafka volume, below)
38. Kafka — The Trial
39. Camus — The Fall
40. Céline — Journey to the End of the Night

Bitter wit and dark comedy
41. Jonathan Swift — A Modest Proposal (pair with Gulliver, or find a satires-collected edition)
42. Alexander Pope — The Dunciad
43. Evelyn Waugh — A Handful of Dust
44. Waugh — Scoop
45. Thackeray — Vanity Fair
46. Gogol — Dead Souls
47. Saltykov-Shchedrin — The Golovlyov Family
48. Wilde — The Picture of Dorian Gray
49. Bierce — Tales of Soldiers and Civilians
50. Hugo — Les Misérables itself, to close the loop — the one write-up in this pile that still believes something's worth saving, which after 49 volumes of contempt might land as the most radical book on the shelf.

NAPOLEON
Comprehensive biographies
Napoleon: A Life by Andrew Roberts — probably the best single-volume biography; sympathetic but not uncritical, drawing on newly available letters
Napoleon: A Political Life by Steven Englund — more focused on his political maneuvering and legacy

Become successful in something, anything, or fail but try sincerely. You will learn more and will probably be able to better read whatever books you want.
But you can read books at the same time, just be prepared to reread them later (as you ought to anyway.) I recommend Nietzsche as he's the most relevant to now and so will be easiest to understand.

you need to read this in order

The Republic
The Iliad
The Odyssey
The Aeneid
Thus spoke zarathustra
The Bible
The Askew Codex
Kant The critique of pure reason
Dante's Inferno Purgatory and Paradise

Then you read it all again this should take you 20 years minimum to fully comprehend the depth of reality

When you learn the secrets of map making and geography the horizons never end.
I don't know how one goes about that with books, I used maps, Google Earth, and recounted everyone of man's steps across the world with the internet and its archive of historical documents.

It sounds stupidly tedious but it's not, with AI and the fact the work is already done. someone could do what took me 20 years to do the hard way in no time at all.

Seek Christ for he is your true love. Realize when you seek matter you are seeking flesh because spirit has been imprisoned in matter and that your love; the one that remains after death is Christ which is the very source of our being.

sir

enrich the soul, gain salvation and life.

Read Revelation aloud.

Broadening as such will be supported by the holy and spiritual texts (bible, Koran, bhagavad ghita, analects, discourses of zhuang Zhi, gilgamesh epic, egyptian book of the dead…). If you have the patience for it, philosophy is good. Then it depends; you might go for Spinoza or Schopenhauer to read about the structure of reality (deus, sive natura), the greeks for morality, the stoics for duty, the likes of Kierkegaard for existentialism. If none of that works for you, I recommend the classics, like the myths of king Arthur or Greek epics, or more modern varieties, like the count of monte cristo. Read Ballard’s crash if you want something easy but weird, read catch22 or one soldier’s war if you want to lezen aboht the futility of war. I could go on for much longer, but this should serve you or another anon quite well.

>Tolkien is for 12yo
yes but Tolkien is a genius that packed the whole of reality in a series of books that can be understood by 12 year olds, that's why he's at the end , the first read of my ordered list you'll probably wont understand anything and Tolkien will explain it to you like you are retarded
