          but fiction books that are high energy im looking for

          I think "high energy fiction books" is an oxymoron. What do you mean by high energy?
          here is some fiction that energized my mind or body:

          Bolaño
          Borges
          John K. Toole
          Cervantes
          Cortazar
          Gaddis
          Guyotat
          Lautremont
          Strindberg
          Huysmans
          Lovecraft
          Poe
          Philip K Dick
          Celine
          D'Annunzio
          Pessoa
          Kafka

          some poets:

          James Wright
          Pound
          Eliot
          Yeats
          Rilke
          Pavese
          Nerval
          Huidobro
          Trakl
          Jorge Tellier
          Novalis
          Blake
          Dante
          Bertran de Born
          Leopardi

              @sushi_is_cringe I don't know what a chad is but Underworld by Don Delillio is incredible. White Noise is great too.

                define cuck sushi.
                if you want to go that route all literature is written by "cucks." Bolaño writes about this in a funny way. His books are hilarious but also very disturbing. Read Hemingway, he was a real manly man. Deep sea fishing, bull-fighting, drinking and dressing in drag. Very old school military type of writer. Psychological wreck. Read Faulkner. But most of all if you think most writers are cucks you should probably stop reading and do something real.

                  DeLillo is super cucked. Read End Zone.
                  Blatantly homoerotic. White Noise is also complete pulp. He regurgitates the same propaganda he appears to criticize. Very uh... Frankfurt School / Marcuse / Baudrillard-esque semitic fakery and kitsch.

                    Schopenhauer was an incel and essentially a neoliberal xenophile.

                      I don't know. Maybe: Ray Peat - Generative Energy?

                      I've never been a big party attender, but I never went to a party where I didn't probably offend most of the people there by talking about what I was interested in. (Ray Peat)

                        I think he should read Henry Miller 😁

                          I have these 3 on my list after hearing Ray talk about them in regards to things that sounded interesting:

                          https://archive.org/details/the-new-paradigm-bockris/ Ray mentioned this book when talking about "evidence of an afterlife".

                          https://archive.org/details/synchronicitybri00peat Stories about Synchronocity.

                          https://archive.org/details/themurderofchrist/ Ray said this book gives example of communism's relation to early Christian ideas.

                              I don’t think he was an “incel”

                              He was highly intelligent, and is actually famous for having a high sex drive that influenced his philosophy. He probably had extramarital sex, though.

                              In time there is life but no knowledge; outside time there is knowledge but no life

                                Have you read Schopenhauer? Have you read his On the four-fold root of sufficient reason? Have you read his critique of Kant? Or are you just parroting what others who don’t actually read the source material say about it?

                                  You can read the source all you want. Just like in art, nothing in philosophy is original. Was he just parroting the four-fold path of Buddhism? Maybe Jung has more to say on this. Philosophy is as an art and an activity. Besides the pre-Socratics, Wittgenstein is really the only one who "awakened" anything of consequence for me. A lot of modern philosophers (post-Renaissance) are basically playing the role of sociologists or psychologists. Understanding man in society, or, the mind in man. Yes, it's both but none of this is new.

                                    I don't know Sushi, sitting down and writing is basically hermitic - it's recoiling from life. Vitality entering the pen instead of the phallus, right? The "vitalist" or high energy non-doomer "writer" is one who does not write.
                                    But in all honesty you should consider reading fiction from any of the fiction authors I mentioned. I don't read fiction very much anymore - I think we will agree that Peat has shown how much fiction exists within "non-fiction," science, and academic work.

                                          Respectfully, my friend, On the Fourfold Roof of the Principle of Sufficient Reason has nothing to do with Buddhism. It’s a thorough analysis of causation and it has implications for free will, mathematics, physics, and logic. It’s metaphysics.

                                          Sure, you could claim that it’s not “original”, but so what? That doesn’t mean it’s not valuable. Is it “original” to build a house from pre-existing materials, or is that a worthless endeavor? Besides all our perception is from nature and so is again not “original”. So what’s the point in insisting on “originality”. Do you mean to suggest he wasn’t an original thinker in the common sense? He most certainly was.

                                          In time there is life but no knowledge; outside time there is knowledge but no life

                                            He wants fiction. Is Peat fiction?
                                            I think he should read Henry Miller 😁

                                            Hm, it may sound like fiction to bystanders, but it isn't

                                            I'm not well-versed on the internet slang and are not sure what the currently approved definitions of chad and cuck are. But maybe Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk? The book that the hundred times more popular movie is based on.

                                            I suppose he would call Hermann Hesse a "cuck", but many of his books like Peter Camenzind, Siddharta, Narziß und Goldmund could be a good read for a young guy trying to find his own way in life.

                                            Marcus Aurelius - Meditations
                                            Ernest Hemingway - For Whom the Bell tolls and Fiesta
                                            Charles Dickens - A Tale of Two Cities (cuck potential, but you'd probably liek the character Sydney Carton)

                                            Adam Zamoyski - Napoleon

                                            Since you mentioned books for children:
                                            Michael Ende - Momo (not a joke, good book for adults especially in todays world).
                                            Lucky Luke and Asterix comics

                                            If you are into sports:
                                            David Halberstam - Playing for Keeps
                                            Bill Russell - Go up for Glory
                                            Jerry West - West by West (you'd probably call West a cuck though)

                                            I've never been a big party attender, but I never went to a party where I didn't probably offend most of the people there by talking about what I was interested in. (Ray Peat)
