I AM GOING TO CONQUEST SOME BREAD. I WILL FIND A GIANT HILL MADE OF BREAD AND PUT MY FLAG AT THE VERY TOP OF IT. I WILL THEN WRITE A BOOK ABOUT HOW I CONQUERED THAT BREAD.

3, 4, and 5. You should also buy [i]The Myth of Sisyphus[/i] by Albert Camus, if you haven't already.

9 RepliesEdited by Seggi: 11/10/2013 5:10:23 PMThe Soul of Man is an expression of Wilde's aestheticism, not any kind of socialism he may have held. I love (and own) just about everything he's ever written, but if you're looking for a text on the theory of socialism, that's definitely not the place to start. The same would apply to Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but given that you've a bit of an obsession with Nietzsche, it's not as relevant, so that may be your best bet. Although, that said, I have a feeling that our resident Nietzsche expert would sooner point you towards Beyond Good and Evil than Zarathustra, from my own experience.

Edited by Florence: 11/10/2013 4:23:22 PMI guess my suggestion is a bit biased, but I'm just about done with The Conquest of Bread and loving it. I thought I wouldn't have much to learn from it since I read AFAQ and everything, but I was wrong. (to be clear I meant ''read'' in the present tense not past tense, like ''reed''; there's no way I've finished that behemoth...)
