what books have you read recently, hikarin? what is your go-to literary interest? what's your reason for reading it? talk about fiction or nonfiction, academia or entertainment, everything in between, as long as you find it interesting. however, discussion of manga and comics should be kept to the /jp/ board. e-book resources: https://annas-archive.org/ https://libgenesis.net/ https://sci-hub.se/ https://archive.org/ https://openlibrary.org/ https://www.gutenberg.org/

>>332 recently, i have been reading books particularly on religion, philosophy, and political theory. i haven't delved much into these topics, so i don't really have any comments to make, but i'm doing so because i realized i don't really have well thought out opinions on the world and the people in it. so i suppose you could say i'm reading these topics as a means of self exploration and personal/ideological development. currently, i'm reading "The Sayings of the Desert Fathers", a collection of sayings from Christian monks around the 4th to 6th century. i'm a recent Orthodox convert (unbaptized) and it was recommended to me by the Father at my Church. the other book i have been reading is "Fascism, The Total Society" by H.R Morgan, a curated collection of quotes and ideas by different Fascist writers with commentary by Morgan. i'm not exactly a Fascist myself, but i plan on reading all kinds of politically extreme literature from across the political landscape. i suppose i have an interest in the ways one can view the world that would be considered "extreme" by the status quo.
