Portrait Of Dorian Gray-By Oscar Wilde

Slaughter House Five- by Kurt Vonnegut

^Two of my favorites^


Pretty much anything by Vonnegut is amazing, in my opinion.

I don't read fiction much anymore but some worth reading: Catcher in the Rye, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, To Kill a Mockingbird.

I tend more towards non-fiction and could recommend a lot of books on Russian History and the Supreme Court, but since that's not many people's cup of tea, here are some general ones:

Stumbling On Happiness (A general look at the human brain and how it affects our happiness)

Facing the Extreme: Moral Life in the Concentration Camps (A historical look at acts of morality and immorality under extreme conditions to shed light on the relativity v. universality theories)

Anything by Robert Fulghum: 'Everything I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten" and "From Beginning to End: Rituals of Our Lives"

Pretty much any philosophy...Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Kant, Mill, Voltaire, Hobbes...


ive read a few of those books actually. im taking notes on this because you can never have too many books to read. but thank you really

Slaughter house is brilliant, anything by Vonnegut actually. Try Kerouac,Hunter S Thompson, Hesse, Desmond Harris wrote a really good essay called "The naked ape"

Look me up if you ever want to discuss ethics, philosophy & philanthrophy!

Are you a fan of Kant?

Lol I could go on with the list, I just picked the ones I can remember since I didn't feel like actually walking to my bookshelf :tongue:

Mono - I love Kant, but I'm not certain that I actually agree with his categorical imperative. I lean more towards Bentham and consequentialism.
