Recommend me please!

Back to Books & Writing

Hello everyone!

So I am not much of a reader, I almost don't read nothing unless what it is on a screen. 

I want to change this, but I don't know almost nothing about books, authors or whatever. 

I need somebody to recommend me a good book to "start" with. 


I think it would be cool to find some kind of a philosophic book that talks how bad the society is, one that complains about pretty much everything.


Again, I don't know how strange what I'm asking is, and Ik Im not giving much info, but I hope someone can help. 


Thank you all!

This is the one that got me started. Just can't argue with the logic. It's just a short essay from Victorian times, but it still rings true today, and if you'd like more there are some books to go with it.

Who is the Somebody?

@Will I have just finished reading "Who Is the Somebody?" and I searched who Tucker was. 

I find the idea of philosophical anarchism interesting. I will continue reading his articles in this book you sent me! 


Also, I was yesterday looking for novels to read and I found this one titled "The Stranger" by Albert Camus, seems very popular and interesting, so I guess I sould check it out, right?

Camus is certainly popular. I personally warn against both fiction and postmodern philosophies such as Camus. Fiction because I think it is better to train the mind to reality, and not to made-up scenarios that do not fit reality as it actually is. Postmodern philosophy largely because it is fictional (wrong), but also because it favors an orientation toward irrational skepticism, pessimism, and solipsism, which I do not believe is conducive to sound reasoning, optimism, or sociability. I highly recommend Victorian modernist philosophy instead. Of course, it is always best to make up your own mind, so maybe you'd like to see if you can tell what I am talking about by picking up Camus anyway.



Perhaps I can sum this up best like this: If you want to fit into and be a part of the problems in the world, read and commit to Camus. That is, Camus is widely popular, and that is a part of the reason why we are facing cultural difficulties, so if you would like to contribute toward those reading Camus and other postmodern "philosophers" is a great place to start.

@Will Alr, now that I have started I will continue reading Tucker. 


It is nice to know your opinion on Camus. This way, when I start reading The Stranger, I will have different ways to understand what he is trying to explain, and so I can form a more solid opinion of him. 

And damn, it's been intense trying to assimilate so many concepts, but don't get me wrong, I am enjoying learning this new (for me) perspectives on how to understand the world. 


I am glad to have something to start reading!!!

@MeMeMaN Very cool! One of Tucker's followers, Clarence Lee Swartz, has perhaps the best summary of Tucker's ideas and in very nicely arranged sections. His short book is called What is Mutualism? That one gives a more-or-less complete picture of the ideas placed all together in one place. Happy reading!
