why? do you think truth has anything do with geographical location or genetics? that doesn't make any sense.

>>24732537
Gods movement might idle in certain geographical and historical places and only some of his moments shine through.
I am not gonna pretend rocks too can think just so desert people seem less subhuman. Islam is a cleansing fire of any thinking presence to god. Just as mongols were a cleansing fire to overwrought cultures. Anything touched by either has lost higher being.

“Japan 1941 Countdown to Infamy” by Eri Hotta might be a good place to start. Really gets into the arrogance and cluelessness of the pre war Japanese elite. Might help you understand why elites who should know better misjudge catastrophically poor odds and bet the lives of their fellow countrymen with the recklessness of a newly divorced dad on a whiskey fueled trip to Vegas.

>>24732713
the entire japanese theatre during WW2 is so interesting from a sociological perspective, you can really learn a lot about the japanese as a whole by analysing that period
the battle of midway always stands out to me as a microcosm of that portion of the war; it was initially smooth sailing but problems slowly started to pile up without being attended to until they started piling up exponentially and then it was too late and that sealed their fate in the war and their society was irrevocably changed because of it

i'll check that book out, thanks anon

>>24732565
>That a bunch of flyover fags want to stick around dead towns and get addicted to fent instead of moving to areas where their labor is in demand is a them problem.
this seems like a really fucking stupid thing to say and you sound like a massive faggot. Can you elaborate? Leave rust belt towns to go work in cities that require labor in what occupations/fields exactly? Cities that aren't already full of fent zombies? Do these rust belt retards need to come shit on your door step?

The Accidental Superpower by Peter Zeihan is a great explainer on how the modern world works. It changed the way I think about geopolitics a lot. He wrote the book in 2014, and had a very clear and easy to understand explanation about why Russia must inevitably invade Ukraine by 2021, so he was only off by a year.
Read it and you will understand some fundamentals of trade and globalization.
>pic related, it's from the book

>>24733071
Russia had already invaded Crimea in 2014 so it's a good educated guess. But what's the central thesis here?

Being concerned about whether something is performative is in itself performative. If you fear becoming a cliché even if it is authentically you then you are just Neal from Good old Neon.. and probably should follow his lead.

Had the same experience with the Recognitions. Read 50 pages, realised it has everything I look for in literature, and put it down for future use. Planning to whip it out when I feel particularly starved for great literature.
Never got the fascination with Tolstoy though. Always seemed to me like a standard realist, one I'd rank below the likes of Eliot, Flaubert and James.

Where? anywhere actually, but I'd say mostly at work, I have plenty of downtime which I use on reading.

I try to get around 50-100 pages in per day

I'm >>24732661 and now I'm dead fucking certain that this is the book for your father. Tailor-made for him. There's a Netflix adaptation, could be a fun bonding experience to watch it together. Haven't seen it though.

There's the rest of Clavell's books (Tai-Pan, Gai-Jin, etc.), but you probably know them.

The Long Ships by Bengtsson is a completely different time and setting, but has that almost fairytale quality of adventure, encountering new culture, hero gets the girl. Highly recommend.

>>24732677
yeah ofc, he read them all.

perfect suggestion, but it's the book he recently read and liked, which is informinf my question

He doesn't have any regrets, but that's not surprising: because he was a wealthy nepo-baby he never once had to face any consequences.

I'm ready for him to just go away.

Would Hemingway like him?

I think it’s interesting how so many writers were obsessed with the style of a specific author, then eventually branched away to build their own legacy.

Pynchon had a long-standing Hemingway phase. McCarthy was a big Faulkner guy. Any other examples?
