Ill add few interesting writter/philosphers...
Cioran
Kierkegaard
Haidegger
Levinas

Hey, I was just thinking about that cause I saw a topic of yours at NWN! but I havent been confirmed yet in order to reply there. So, I'm glad to see it here!

Well, first that came in mind is Edward Bulwer-Lytton, one of my favorite.
But I'm unaware of all the above names you mentioned.

Interesting... Do you believe I should start with something specific from Cioran? I mean, they may be too complicated stuff and he may have something that could introduce him and be like an easy approach to his cosmos. Or not?

Guénon, Evola, Eliade, Devi some i have in mind.

I'm also into occult stuff, no use to mention the classics of practical magic.
And I love to read novels, fantasy and occult ones, at winter nights with poor light. Authors like Arthur Mahen and Aldgernon Blackwood. (Of course, Lovecraft, Poe, Eco are genious writers). Any suggestions?

about books... I have too many... nordic literature; portuguese and japanese literature are stuff I buy more, then of course classics and so on... kierkegaard I studied it and it was hard at first, right now I'd like to re-read Enten-Eller again. It's on my "to be read next"-list.
I read two McCarthy books in english, "Blood Meridian" & "No Country for Old Men". I liked the first one more.
I read Sartre and at the moment I'm reading a book by Svend Aage Madsen called "Finder Sted". Too bad he's not translated in italian... only a couple of books.
I also read Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis. After American Psycho, the best stuff he wrote. Some of the parts are boring, but I like the hidden and weird stuff, a culture driven by pills & fear...

I read La Nausée (Nausea) and Le Mur (The Wall)

Currently reading? Or next to start? I'm reading a greek writer's Atlantis - The archives of the Land of Posidon, heavenly architexture and the star of Sirius. A little hard book because he connects a lot of knowledges, about Mythologies, sacred geometry and maths, conspiracies, ancient's hidden knowledge etc... Sure I've missed a lot till now but definitely I'll keep it as my studies for the future.

Right now I am reading "Panzram: A Journal of Murder"

I have followed Panzram's life through the internet and literature for a long time...he personifies the true misanthrope.

Alfred Jules Ayer - Language Truth and Logic
I read it in German... the content is difficult enough.

Now I don't have much time for reading but during Summer I read some great books, one was called MX, same for Greeks as AD, it is about the life of monks of mount Athos, an ancient community of orthodox monks very deserved in Balcans and general in Orthodox christian church, the author thesis was opposite to these guys as not reliable guys who do everything for money etc. Author called Aleksakis...The shit is that this Autumn here we have a political scandal with goverment sell very cheap land to these monks etc

Other one was also in Greeks was about the releationship of Greek Orthodox church and goverment, it also covered interesting parts of religious psychology, religion's history and finally analized the neoorthodox doctrines.

I read also one book written by a well known German marxist author called Kaoutchky if writes it correctly, he staudied the heretics in central Europe at time of Reformation(1520-1630), recognisining some communistic elements. Very interesting book to cover another side of history and also to know some facts not that known widely like execution practices during the reformation, some cults created during the period (I am still very curious for a cult mentioned there in Bohemia called the caves Dwellers that practiced extreme rituals etc).

Just re-read Carl Jung - Seven Sermons to the Dead a few times to get some energy for MC going. Fuckin great short little read.
