Especially if they are not banal choices like 1984, Animal Farm, Brave New World, etc; so we could all discover some interesting books we might never have heard of.

I'll start:
1) Civilization and Capitalism: The Structure of Everyday Life: 15-th18th century - Fernarnd Braudel.

2) Epitaph of a Small Winner - Machado de Assis

3) The Luneburg Variation - Paolo Maurensig

4) Earth: An Intimate History - Richard Fortey

5) River of Darkness - Buddy Levy

Miracles- C.S. Lewis

Images and Symbols- Mircea Eliade
A Thousand Rooms of Dreams and Fear- Atiq Rahimi
Anarchy of the Mice- Jeff Bond

The last two are some ransoms I know nothing about that I found at a library sale. Had cool covers so here’s hoping.

>An egregore is a non-physical, autonomous entity or thoughtform that arises from the collective thoughts, emotions, and beliefs of a group of people, sustained by their shared focus and devotion

Books on the emergent intelligence of crowds/groups where said intelligence is described as an actual thinking entity? Like Volksgeist but more discrete and having the potential to exist in any group of people.

(No "muh consciousness", Jungian schizobable or esotericism please, while the word originated from French Occultism I'm not the least bit interested in anything magical which is not ultimately derived from/contingent upon physical reality)

Are you trolling right now? You know a lot of those books are easier than LLPSI right? Besides the amount of reading, Fr. Most’s text would work best before Familia Romana as it introduces grammar more slowly and explains it. I used LBTNM and found it substantially easier than Familia Romana. I think it’s excellent.

When do you actually intend on trying a native text?

I’ll put it this way so as not to discourage you. Your method will absolutely 100% work. But you may find that you can just go to native texts far earlier than you think.

I hate myself. So I'll inflict myself with every entry level Latin reader of the last 200 years, long soul crushing months of "Cornelius baculum in mensa ponit" style of prose.
Or would you prefer me to self-destruct by leading a life of crime, addictions and wanton debauchery?
I have chosen my poison and I plan to consume it, ad libitum.
On a more serious note, it's more an experiment on how far comprehensible input and extensive reading can get you in Latin compared to modern languages, where this method has shown its efficiency.

They're just so... contemptible. Their entire persona screams of self-hatred fueled by dysgenic weakness compounded by lack of accountability and self-introspection You despise them, yet you feel no remorse about that feeling. Only a quiet sense that this disgust is good, right, and proper.

Judge Holden is the physical manifestation of the god of war. Not necessarily evil, but brutal, vindictive, egotistical, cold and heartless all the same. He's strong, near-omnipotent and impassionate, but since he's the personification of an archetype he's not necessarily evil.

I like mine but it's not very /lit/. They have vastly outdated technical books and often one copy of classic books within Western canon but they'll order 30 copies for whatever YA slop that drops that month. There's also a severe lack of esoteric books that don't appeal to women LARPing as witches.

I haven't read it, but Esoteric Hollywood by Jay Dyer is much more recent. What I have read however and which I can personally attest to is Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon by David McGowan, which is quite creepy if rather amateurishly written. Both deal with sordid, creepy and occult rumours of the people in showbusiness.

Jay Dyer is one of the dumbest motherfuckers on the Internet. If you take him seriously you’re a rube.

and now I have become the Count of Monte Cristo

is this book worth reading as someone who is mostly interested in learning more about CIA/MKUltra tom-foolery in the 60s and doesn't particularly enjoy polluting his brain with true crime slop?

i am also somewhat skeptical that i will learn anything particularly eye opening from a book that was relentlessly shilled by all forms of mainstream media, and who's film rights were bought by netflix.

am i wasting my time with boomer slop?

to be honest i want to read his stuff at some point but not before becoming more acquainted with the topics he wrote about. diving into him without having some kind of background in what he wrote about just sounds like a recipe for confusing yourself so badly you end up like alex jones.

>something much more conspiratorial than O'Neill
What O'Neill suggests is much more Kafkaesque and opaque than McGowan, though. McGowan essentially asserts that the nexus of all these evil doings in Hollywood shares the same purview of individuals that are in big business and Hollywood, and they're all satanists involved in child sex trafficking. O'Neill suggests some of that, but the implication is a lot more that MKULTRA and the Manson fiasco was more a result of field experiment-operations that the CIA were continuously running in the '50s & '60s, particularly in the Los Angeles area. The occult doesn't factor in so much into Chaos. A good book to read that connects both is The Ultimate Evil by Maury Terry.
