Every man should read to grow and learn. Share good books, and your thoughts.
Two Great American Authors that wrote Redpill books/stories are:
-Ernest Hemingway
-Jack London
Some examples of redpill stories by these authors:
-
The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber - Ernest Hemingway
-
The Mexican - Ernest Hemingway
-
For whom the bell tolls -Ernest Hemingway
-
The Sea Wolf - Jack London
-
Smoke Bellew - Jack London
- The Wonder of Women - Jack London --> this title sounds simpy/cucked af but its not. Its a story about how a White explorer gets captured by indians and is forced to live among them. The beautiful daughter of the Indian chief falls in love with him and helps him escape but little does she know he has another bitch back home. Whats great about this story is it shows how a woman that is attracted to a man acts and how the same woman acts towards a man she deems "weak" (the author writes how she acted child-like around the man she loved but would suddenly transform into searing hatred around a man she hates for his weakness and simpering attitude).
These stories offer a contrast between what a man SHOULD NOT be (simpering/fearful and weak) to what a man should be (powerful/courageous/focusing on his mission). Its one thing to hear these things in abstract, its totally another to get demonstrations of these things from authors who base their characters on real men and attitudes they have experienced in their lives.

Read MoreBook Discussion: "The Last Closet" by Moira Greyland
Carnage
Again I sing my cheerful song What can I control today I’ll sort the books, I’ll file the files Pretend that nothing’s wrong But then my bubble bursts My illusion of contented control disappears And I dissolve in tears Confusion and helpless rage But still I sort, still I file Cheeks wet and makeup streaming My friends wondering why I act so oddly Strangely knowing better than I do that it’s time for me to rest Once in awhile I do I tell myself “it’s done, I’m better, I won’t be there again” I know I’m stable now, I haven’t wanted to die For at least a week—or was it yesterday? And then a nightmare comes, a lonely scream. If I wait to face the demon in my dreams, I face it alone. My mother’s in my bed again, I throw her off repulsed And scream until my voice is gone and run and then Awake with my beloved—that is you, thank God! I feel your face for whiskers—can I be sure it’s really you And not that sickening monster who spawned me? But where is my cheerful song now? When do I get to control my life again? When can I get back to life rather than being the prisoner of my own racking sobs When can I run away again? -Moira Breen 1988*
This book is hard to read but even harder to write about.
Moira Greyland not only wrote it, she lived through a childhood hell that is little short of unimaginable. The Last Closet is her story.
Have an open bottle of bourbon on your reading table when you get to Chapter Ten. You’ll need that and a shower afterward.
I first ran into Marion Zimmer Bradley’s work in college. A friend who had steered me right on several occasions, (Dune, Canticle for Leibowitz, Lefthand of Darkness), strongly recommended City of Sorcery to me.
He was overdue for a clinker. City of Sorcery had a number problems for me. It wasn’t an ideal first entry to the Darkover world. It was jumping into the middle of an established universe. If you weren’t all that familiar with the rules of this world, then you had to puzzle out a lot stuff as you read the book. Bradley was disinclined to fill in the blanks. Also, back in those days I was Science Fiction Snob. Sure I’d read Tolkien and Leiber and yes, I played Dungeons and Dragons. But as an SFS I viewed science fiction books as vastly superior to fantasy not least because they didn’t run to eight hundred pages and fantasy was starting to do that... a lot.
This book was clearly fantasy mascaraing as science fiction.
Also it was just a little bit... off. There was no one thing I could really put my finger on. Just a general feel of something that wasn’t quite right here. Sort of when you walk in to a mist spray of fine vinegar, you know something’s wrong but it’s a little too diffuse to say what.
There was a miasma of something very off putting with the women in this book. An unpleasant edge, almost like they were the anti-Bujold characters. The heroines were the Renunciates. It wasn’t explicitly stated what they had renounced but it was obviously heterosexuality. It was a club for angry lesbians with the quasi religious overtones of a goofy hippy religion (which as as Gen-Xer I had little use for). The protagonist was the Chief Terran Agent on Darkover who had gone native and married another woman and were somehow raising a kid together. The enemy was a bunch of evil space lesbians who were plotting... Something? I forget what. It was the characters that mattered in this book and I didn’t like any of them.
When my friend asked me about it, I made some joke about, The Lesbians In Spaaaaaace. He didn’t like the joke at all and told me so. I replied that the author was clearly writing about that of which she knows. My friend laughed a little too loudly because he was about to ‘one up’ me, in true Gamma fashion.
“Nope, she’s happily married with two kids,” he smirked.
“Yeah, I got my doubts about the happily part,” I replied.
Holy crap, I never spoke truer words.
I was tangentially involved in fandom. Enough so that I became aware of the cult status among the women’s lib types regarding Marion Zimmer Bradly. Something to the effect of them liking to roleplay the Darkover stuff. A smallish shudder went through me when I heard about it and I added a note to my Red Flag File, ‘avoid Darkover Chicks in the future,’ end note.
When Mists of Avalon blewup big I picked it up off the shelf at Walden Books in the mall, saw that it was an eight hundred fifty page plus monstrosity, just like all the fashionable fantasy books were becoming. And I put it back on the shelf. No thanks, one Marion Zimmer Bradley book was enough.
A few years later I was thumbing through Locus at a soon to be closing comic book shop. I saw that Marion Zimmer Bradley had died. It had a brief blurb of a biography and it noted in passing that her ex-husband was in prison for child molestation. I thought briefly of my friend’s smug, superior laughter.
In my life, I’ve found that the more you understand, the less you forgive. Yet Moira Greyland transcended that nasty little dictum of mine. I have no idea how she did it. The childhood she lived... The childhood she survived should have produced an unspeakable monster.
Just liker her Mother.
Just liker her Father.
But somehow it didn’t. Moira Greyland fought tooth and nail for her soul.
Both Marion Zimmer Bradley and Walter Breen suffered hideously abusive childhoods. Marion’s involved beatings and repeated rapes by her father. Walter Breen’s mother withheld all love from him and treated him as a pointless burden needlessly thrust upon her. Both suffered physically and traumatically during their upbringing.
It doesn’t justify the monsters they became, it just explains why they were what they were. Both were gay or at least claimed to be gay. Marion’s pathology is interesting in that regard because I’m not entirely certain that she was a lesbian by natural inclination. It may have been yet another a way for her to desex herself. Walter appears to have been the genuine article but he did have sex women...and little girls.
The thing is most people that are that fucked up have the sense to not have kids. The Breen-Bradleys chose have them because they wanted to someone to brainwash from the cradle onward. Someone whose sexuality could be warped into a broken funhouse mirror reflection of their own. And so they brought Moira into the world with the explicit and deliberate intention of utterly corrupting her.
In heart breaking detail Moira recounts the horrors of her childhood going year by year. Sparing neither herself nor you her reader. Details are painted in bold, terrible colors, page after page. All the while you are wondering, why didn’t anyone DO SOMETHING.

Read MoreSpotting Danger Before It Spots Your TEENS: Teaching Situational Awareness To Keep Teenagers Safe
As adults, we like to think we have a good idea of what the world may have in store for our teenagers, but the fact of the matter is there's a vast divide between what we perceive as dangerous and what our teens are actually up against.
Teenagers face unique challenges when it comes to situational awareness.
These challenges are only exacerbated by the constant physical and biological changes teens are subjected to. As young people learn to deal with these changes, they begin to explore the limits of their individuality.
Unfortunately, this process often involves rebellious behavior and unnecessary risk-taking. The key to keeping teens safe during this time is to keep them alert and engaged with their environment.
Teenagers have to understand that real personal safety isn't about being scared of what lies around the next corner. It requires confidence that if something bad were about to happen, that they have these
Ability to identify the problem early Competence to develop a plan of action Power to control their fear Aptitude to implement that plan Spotting Danger Before It Spots Your Teens is designed around the principles of positive communication, trust, and teamwork. It’s written specifically to set parents' minds at ease and allow teens to confidently explore their independence, secure in the fact that they can spot dangerous situations before they happen and take the necessary steps to ensure their own well-being.

Read MoreBad Literature as Predictive Model
We know that movies and television shows have been used as a revelation of the method by the wicked in order to avoid occult karma for their actions by openly confessing them in a plausibly deniable manner that the public will not believe. But six decades after it was written, this section from the dreary, Gamma-infested slog that is A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES, written by an author who was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 11 years after his suicide, tends to strike the modern reader as ominously predictive of the current state of affairs in the increasingly degenerate nations ruled by the evil inverts of Clown World.
Dear Reader,
Nature has sometimes made a fool; but a coxcomb is always of man’s own making. —Addison
As I was wearing the soles of my desert boots down to a mere sliver of crepe rubber on the old flagstone banquettes of the French Quarter in my fevered attempt to wrest a living from an unthinking and uncaring society, I was hailed by a cherished old acquaintance (deviate). After a few minutes of conversation in which I established most easily my moral superiority over this degenerate, I found myself pondering once more the crises of our times. My mentality, uncontrollable and wanton as always, whispered to me a scheme so magnificent and daring that I shrank from the very thought of what I was hearing.
“Stop!” I cried imploringly to my god-like mind. “This is madness.” But still I listened to the counsel of my brain. It was offering me the opportunity to Save the World Through Degeneracy.
There on the worn stones of the Quarter I enlisted the aid of this wilted flower of a human in gathering his associates in foppery together behind a banner of brotherhood. Our first step will be to elect one of their number to some very high office—the presidency, if Fortuna spins us kindly. .Then they will infiltrate the military. As soldiers, they will all be so continually busy in fraternizing with one another, tailoring their uniforms to fit like sausage skins, inventing new and varied battle dress, giving cocktail parties, etc., that they will never have time for battle. The one whom we finally make Chief of Staff will want only to attend to his fashionable wardrobe, a wardrobe which, alternately, will permit him to be either Chief of Staff or debutante, as the desire strikes him. In seeing the success of their unified fellows here, perverts around the world will also band together to capture the military in their respective countries. In those reactionary countries in which the deviates seem to be having some trouble in gaining control, we will send aid to them as rebels to help them in toppling their governments.
When we have at last overthrown all existing governments, the world will enjoy not war but global orgies conducted with the utmost protocol and the most truly international spirit, for these people do transcend simple national differences. Their minds are on one goal; they are truly united; they think as one. None of the pederasts in power, of course, will be practical enough to know about such devices as bombs; these nuclear weapons would lie rotting in their vaults somewhere. From time to time the Chief of Staff, the President, and so on, dressed in sequins and feathers, will entertain the leaders, i.e., the perverts, of all the other countries at balls and parties. Quarrels of any sort could easily be straightened out in the men’s room of the redecorated United Nations. Ballets and Broadway musicals and entertainments of that sort will flourish everywhere and will probably make the common folk happier than did the grim, hostile, fascistic pronouncements of their former leaders.
Almost everyone else has had an opportunity to run the world. I cannot see why these people should not be given their chance. They have certainly been the underdog long enough. Their movement into power will be, in a sense, only a part of the global movement toward opportunity, justice, and equality for all. (For example, can you name one good, practicing transvestite in the Senate? No! These people have been without representation long enough. Their plight is a national, a global disgrace.)
Degeneracy, rather than signaling the downfall of a society, as it once did, will now signal peace for a troubled world. We must have new solutions to new problems. I shall act as a sort of mentor and guide for the movement, my not inconsiderable knowledge of world history, economics, religion, and political strategy acting as a reservoir, as it were, from which these people can draw rules of operational procedure.
Boethius himself played a somewhat similar role in degenerate Rome. As Chesterton has said of Boethius, “Thus he truly served as a guide, philosopher, and friend to many Christians; precisely because, while his own times were corrupt, his own culture was complete.”

@Victor that book has actually been sitting in my library for a while. I will read it one of these days.
@Chantfire Just men being men. This book + @Typo-MAGAshiv 's recommendation is right up my alley. Gonna read these after I finish "The Courage to be Disliked". The book is nothing like the title. It's wildly different to what you'd assume from that title name.
Written by a Japanese philosopher backed solid with doctoral psychological studies, it goes through an excellent Adlerian philosophy, teleology(the third giant apart from Freud and Jung who often gets overlooked). The first topic is
Trauma doesn't exist People are not driven by past causes. but move towards goals they themselves set
An inclusive teenager who never wants to go out? He's not traumatized by anything. He just wants the attention he's always missed out on from his parents (probably). That is his goal. It's what determines his behaviors. He isn't inclusive due to past traumatic experiences, rather his behavior is driven by other motivations.
And that's only the first chapter. It's definitely reshaped and refined my perspectives on a lot of things.
