been reading Haruki Murakami's Norweigian Wood it's about a college boy exploring his sexuality, set in japan, it is the coming of age experience with lots of twists and a solid lay out ng kwento. It is somehow to Catcher in the Rye so if you liked that then I recommend you try this. good read

Meditations - Marcus Aurelius

 

sample quotes:

 

“If any man despises me, that is his problem. My only concern is not doing or saying anything deserving of contempt.”

 

“The happiness of those who want to be popular depends on others; the happiness of those who seek pleasure fluctuates with moods outside their control; but the happiness of the wise grows out of their own free acts.”

No offense lang po, mga sir/ma'am, pero base sa observation ko na medyo perverted mga nagpopost dito kaya recommend ko siguro mga libro ni Gabriel Garcia Marquez o Yukio Mishima. Medyo perverted lang yan, softcore lang siguro.

 

Para sa mga degenerate naman recommend ko: Painted Bird tsaka American Psycho. Hindi ko lang nga nabasa American Psycho pero napanood ko na yung movie, masmalala daw libro niya e.

 

Personally, hindi ko type mga yan na libro pero baka magustuhan niyo.

THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING A f#&k - MARK MANSON

 

"A counterintuitive approach to living a good life"
--that says it all. And a good read.
An excerpt:
Don't Try
It is then strange that on Burowski's tombstone, the epitaph reads: "Don't try."
See, despite the book sales and the fame, Burowski was a loser. He knew it. And his success stemmed not from some determination to be a winner, but from the fact that he knew he was a loser, accepted it, and then wrote honestly about it. He never tried to be anything other than what he was. The genius Bukowski's work was not in overcoming unbelievable odds or developing himself into a shining literary light. It was the opposite. It was his simple ability to be completely, unflinchingly honest with himself--especially the worst parts of himself--and to share his failings without hesitation or doubt.
The Feedback Loop from Hell
There's an insidious quirk to your brain that, if you let it, can drive you absolutely batty. Tell me if this sounds familiar to you: You get anxious about confronting somebody in your life. That anxiety cripples you and you start wondering why you're so anxious. Now you're becoming anxious about being anxious. Oh no! Doubly anxious! Now you're anxious about your anxiety, which is causing more anxiety. Quick, where's the whiskey?
Or let's say you have an anger problem. you pissed off at the stupidest, most insane stuff, and you have no idea why. And the fact that you get pissed off so easily starts to piss you off even more. And then, in your petty rage, you realize that being angry all the time makes you a shallow and mean person, and you hate this; you hate it so much that you get angry at yourself. Now look at you: you're angry at yourself getting angry about being angry. f#&k you, wall. Here, have a fist.
Or you're so worried about doing the right thing all the time that you become worried about how much you're worrying. Or you feel so guilty for every mistake you make that you begin to feel guilty about how guilty you're feeling. Or you get sad and alone so often that it makes you feel even more sad and alone just thinking about it.
