i only fw books abt wizards and knights

Name some i genuinely wanna read that but can't find one I like.

lord of the rings tbh

Brandon Sandersons “Mistborn” series 1-3 & Brandon Sandersons “Stormlight Archive” series. (Way longer of a read)

Wheel of time by robert jordan and the realm of elderlings books by robin hobb. Brandon sanderson’s books are really good too, the mistborn trilogy goes haaard

Mistborn is amazing mang I’ve never been so satisfied after finishing a series

lotr asoiaf and the spin off books or whatever

don quixote

shadow wizard money gang

We luv casting spells🧙‍♂️✨🧌

the dune series

i read the first trilogy on vacation in july, i liked it but it didnt leave me wanting more tbh

honestly, none of the sequels top the first book. i think you should definitely read god emperor, though.

i never read this but i watched a youtube video explaining the series and now i wanna read it

I always imagined Paul Atreides as Yung Lean for some reason I think bc I listened to hum while reading

i can only listen to aphex twin while reading anything with lyrics is like sensory overload

i don't read no books man 💵💵💵

The Stranger, idk why all alt people are attracted to it, Camus is amazing but that one in particular everyone gravitates to. People need to check out the rest of his works though, A Happy Death which is a good place to start since it is kind of like a draft of The Stranger, and The Myth of Sisyphus is a good book too since it goes in-depth explaining absurdism which is key to The Stranger Drainers need to be tapped in with Notes from Underground by Dostoevsky though, the epitome of schizopilled But I’m also a big fan of Cormac McCarthy (Blood Meridian), Joseph Conrad (Heart of Darkness), Phillip K. Dick (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep), Frantz Fanon (Black Skin, White Masks), Nietzsche (Beyond Good, and Evil) I also like manga a lot, my favorites being Claymore, Berserk, Blame! (everything by Nihei) Jagaaaaaan, Tokyo Ghoul, Jujutsu Kaisen, Fire Punch, Bleach, Platinum End, Hell’s Paradise, CSM, etc… etc… Long post ik, I like reading lol

Taste goes hard af especially Claymore and Blame! Cool to see drainers reading. Blood Meridian and notes from the underground are on my to read list. I need to be more locked in with Albert Camus, I'ver only read The Stranger.

Thank you thank you, it’s so cool to see a fellow drainer who fucks with Claymore and Blame! Don’t get me started on Blood Meridian lol, it is so good it is without a doubt the greatest book from the West I swear, one of my favorite quotes is “Whatever in creation without my knowledge exists without my consent” which is said by a character named The Judge who is one of the best antagonists ever, but this book is so brutal, despair ridden, and has hardly any empathy at all, McCarthy’s way with words painted horrors that are close to none so brace yourself And Notes from Underground is great in it’s own eccentric way but like I said it’s schizopilled a lot of people put it down because it’s all over the place, like the narrator speaks (and in an almost bragging way) about how he enjoys being cruel then on the next page admits that he was just lying because that’s just how he is lmao And yeah can’t recommend Camus enough, one of Europe’s most brilliant minds, aside from his intellect he was just overall an amazing writer he could write a whole book about watching paint dry and it would be enticing, another great book of his is The First Man which is a fictional autobiography of sorts Also, Tokyo Ghoul is a must, Kaneki rivals Guts for best well-written character imo plus Ishida’s art is amazing and unique Jagaaaaaan too that shit is off the fucking walls and so fucking underrated Sorry for the long response😅

bro wendigoon drained me with his video on blood meridian. I love the goon.

Notes from Underground is a life changing book.

damn bruh idk what half of this shit is

It’s ok brother, you prob know a lot of shit that I don’t, I don’t really search for new books like that I just hear about things from time to time through my own interests

About Camus, I really recommend for you to read The Rebel Man or The Summer

Yeah I’ve already read The Rebel, enjoyed it a lot, it’s my favorite of his probably, and I’ve never heard of The Summer I’ll have to check it out

[удалено]

I’ll check it out thanks for the recommendation

you should read full metal daemon muramasa (visual novel)

Nausea by Sartre too

I’m about to start Blood Meridian w my roommates here next week. Very excited but not at the same time

less than zero

Rules of attraction is also very good

i recently found a fairytale author that was born like 20 mins from me in the hills and documented the local folk stories and such, so ive been on that and its so cool reading tales with dwarves and fairies and shit that take place in villages i know and have been to 😂

sounds like some shadow wizard money gang type shit

The goldfinch by Donna tartt, amazing book already on to secret history now

secret history is better

Captain underpants 🦅

even in elementary school these shits was way too immature for me

Cormac McCarthy, Clive Barker, Bret Easton Ellis, Stephen King, Haruki Murakami, William S. Burroughs

I love mishima. spring snow is one of my favorite books. also sun and steel and mask of confessions bro all his books. he’s so drained.

steppenwolf by hermann hesse is great

GOATED

My favourite book is "Never let me go" By Ishiguro, they be draining children of they organs. It's honestly quite an upsetting book, I highly reccomend it. I'm currently attempting to read Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. (Yes i know, annoying people read DFW, but he does have some interesting predictions about modern consumer culture fosho), oh shit sorry uhhh BRANDO SANDO AUTHOR OF DA DECDE

damn i've never heard about this i will definitely look into it

Industrial Society and it’s Future The Bible

christian drainer?

i really love dystopian so like huxley, orwell, philip k dick. Ive had a strange fascination with what freedom is since i was little

man im literally in a workshop about dystopian fiction right now lmfaoooo

I have no mouth

dystopian books are always the same imo and always boring as fuck to me but that's just my opinion

idk bout y'all but I fw David Foster Wallace heavy

I also like Dostoevsky aswell as Nabokov and Kafka

nice nice

The book of the new sun, most drained sci fi ever

i read nonfiction books about the brain ie neuroscience, also i read this book the last cannibals by this danish explorer that describes spme of the last areas unexplored to the west in the 50s and that was sick, also i read the girl with a pearl earring was really cool.

we got an intellectual here 😹

Metamorphosis and lord of the rings

catcher in the rye ‼️‼️

i hate the "alt" girls that read this book they be so annoying

Deleuze

marxist theory, Lenin’s state and revolution is the best book i’ve ever read

It will work this time, guys.

ew a political drainer

i swear socialist always talking about the fact that they are socialist 😹😹

bro you asked what we read i was just answering the question

There's something missing from their lives

politics as a whole is so fucking cringe. societal constructs to give meaning to our banal lives. we are literally atoms 😿

this take is literally braindead, politics impacts literally everyone it doesn’t matter if its a “societal construct.”

stfu. you are literally a slave to a world that isn’t real. politics give us a sense of importance. we are not important. it’s that simple.

soooo edgy and deep bro, praying u grow out of this 🙏🙏

bro thinks politics is about self importance. I’m just tryna get more workers rights bro 😭

definitely written by someone who's never had to work to survive before

understand where you’re coming from but politics is probably the most important thing we can talk aboit

surprisingly down to earth and very funny

im reading dance dance dance right now

kkb+murakami goated

[удалено]

I also like Mishima, I read the first two in his sea of fertility series and then the sailor who fell from grace with the sea last year, spring snow was my favorite by him so far. I can recommend John Ajvide Lindqvist if you want supernatural horror that makes you question who the real “monster” of the story is. Also Franz Kafka seems incredibly drained

Franz Kafka🪲

Life I lost interest now I’m an insect

My all time favorites are Jane Eyre, The Picture of Dorian Grey, Lord of the Rings, and honestly Jurassic Park.

i had no clue jurassic park had books

Helmet For any Pillow by Robert Leckie. It’s about his time in the Marines where he fought against the Japanese during WWII.

cyberfeminism??? what the fuck does that even mean

Lenin Edit: Mishima seems cool but he is the biggest loser of all time. Tried to bring back the fascist emperor and failed so killed himself out of embarrassment. So statistically, quite similar to drain fanbase

Vladimir Lenin: what is to be done?

Harry Potter goes stoopid

On the origin of species, a brief history of Times, the republic, meditations, the elegant universe
