      I think one of the first big books I ever read was Lord of the rings and it was just like being in a different world I used to read it almost every winter because it was just like ah yes that time of dark where you cant go anywhere really and school is a bire but then you get to go to bed under the covers with a torch and out into this world of elves and whatnot. ..I remember reading camus disturbed the hell out of me after reading one short novel of his the whole world became hollowed out and empty it was freaky. I never read any more camus.

    This is so true and it is very true for authors, as well. When you write stories, it's like you embody those characters and you become this different personality to really lay it down in writing. It's like living vicariously through the various characters that you create. It's awesome to hear him express the reason why he loves to read. That is what every writer wants their reader to feel like.

    • @earth2saka

      Except that it all comes from you. You can't channel or embody something you don't comprehend. You can convince yourself for sure and most authors do that. But everything that you create comes from you and nowhere else.

    This has rarely occurred to me, in the sense of becoming intertwined and so inclined to a story, but for the second time, as I’m reading the lord of the flies, I’m becoming so obsessed, I feel like I’m one of the boys on the island listening to all the others as they talk, and do what they do. Having to put the book down and go to work feels like dragging me from where I really want to be (not literally ofc, I prefer to not be stranded on an island.) it’s a shame the book only has like 200 pages, it’s going to be over soon.

    My ego wants me to become the most developed and superior mind, though.
    I on the other hand, if 'I' makes any difference, want to become the most powerful thinker, learner and doer to see what it is like to have no steps laid in front of you.
    To be the frontier brick layer of human progress.
    No one to follow.
    And it would be even more interesting if I could KNOW that at that point, if I ever reach it, I am the ultimate.
    Then I would KNOW that there is no one that can help me.
    I wonder what that feels like.

    I started reading Nietzsche and Jung when I was 12 to 14 years old, despite not understanding much of what I was reading they tore me apart. Later, after a few PhDs they both put me back together again. Then, I went back to Dostoevsky, he just kicked me in the balls and punched me until I no longer had any teeth left. That is the way I always liked it.
    Reading from the best is just like entering the ring with Mike Tyson in his prime. First, you get KO, then you start learning not to get KO until the third round, then the fourth, and so on. However, you always know you are eventually going to get KO, LOL. And that is the beauty of exploring the mental universe of great minds. One day...

    Ive picked up books and without opening a page, outside forces would squeeze my head until i set the book down, some of us are unable to dove into the realms of other minds because of the TOXIC seeds that will be planted!

    Being an avid reader I totally agree with what he says here. I disagree with him politically as I find his criticism of authoritarianism to be antithetical to his right wing advocacy and lack of criticism of the tyrannical movement attempting to destroy America. For one purportedly so well read that is surprising.

    I really made up my mind to start reading books as a way to get more knowledge in order to make my life more happy, but then i came across with Andrew tate clip where he says why read books when you can do things practically and get the actual experience. That kinda makes me confused , i could be wasting time doin theory where i can do thm practically.
    Any thoughts on this ?

    Reading Mein Kampf I was able to relate to the main character a lot. Thanks Jordan Peterson 👍✨
