In the Buddha's words
by Bodhi Bhikkhu

Afterwards I read In the Buddha's Words: An Anthology of Discourses from the Pali Canon. This book is amazing.[...] I was super fascinated by this book. This is just a very selected part of it. I don't want to get into all of it. If you're interested in Buddhist teaching, this is a great book to start off with.

Moby-Dick
by Herman Melville

I think Moby Dick, I probably to be honest, I'm probably not really ready for it yet, but I'm really glad I read it. Look forward to read it again at some point in the future.

The Count of Monte Cristo
by Alexandre Dumas

I'll say you have to read a classic. I think so many people don't want to read classic literature but that is just a huge mistake. I can never say it right Don Quijote, The Count of Monte Cristo, Moby Dick, actually I wasn't huge for Moby Dick. I read Catch 22 recently too which is another classic.

Sun and Steel
by Yukio Mishima

Today we're doing another book review, it's one that I've already discussed which is Sun and Steel by Yukio Mishima. I adore Mishima's novels, this is no secret.

Don Quijote de la Mancha
by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Everyone knows Don Quijote for its humour and for how silly it is and what a loveable character it is but, and yes it is, it is very humorous, but after reading it I realised that it is so much more than just that. And I'm so glad I read it. It's my favourite piece of classical literature that I have ever read. [...] It's the longest book I've read but it is also the longest book I've ever enjoyed and honestly, I can't wait to reread it. I could go on more, but there is really no point. It is quite hard at some points. I would be lying if I said that it was the easiest read I ever had but it is 100% worth it! Check it out! Don Quijote 5 out of 5. Beautiful, so glad I read it!

Man's Search for Meaning
by Viktor E. Frankl

I feel like this book is a great tool to just help people and especially, maybe I'm over generalising here, but I feel like lots of millenials are struggling to find meaning. I suddenly feel better equipped for in case--I know that sounds a bit weird to say, but in case something really bad happens, I feel like I... from reading this book, I'm better equipped to know how to handle it. That's a bit naive to say, but I really think there are some important stuff in here.

The Discourses of Epictetus
by Epictetus

Another book I've talked about so much we're going to read Epictetus Discourses and Selected Writings. If you for some reason haven't read this with the amount of yapping I've done about this book you got to do it now! I think if I had to pick one book out of all of these, one book to rule them all, I would pick The Enchiridion.

Beyond Good and Evil
by Friedrich Nietzsche

Next book: Gay Science! And know what you want to do it's okay! I give you the pass! The first time I read Nietzsche I read Beyond Good and Evil I didn't understand a goddamn thing. Don't watch my book review it's embarrassing and I'm not gonna pretend I'm some Nietzsche scholar now either but I had a bad time first reading him because he was referencing all these different philosophers and I had no clue who they even were after reading more philosophy coming back to Nietzsche again my reaction was still bad because I went this guy was making fun of all my heroes what the *** so Nietzsche for me was a slow cook I will admit. But the best way to understand philosophy is to understand the person behind it and the more I feel like I had done that the more I came to love Nietzsche. Uh he loves his words he's very great at them he's very harsh and very brutal but you understand that he targets philosophers that he likes or that he at least admires to some degree.

Norwegian Wood
by Haruki Murakami

One of my favourite quotes from a book, another great book I read actually, I recommend, Norwegian Wood by Murakami. - "Death is not the opposite of life but an innate part of it. By living our lives we nurture death."

No longer human
by Osamu Dazai

I absolutely loved reading this book. Dazai clearly is a phenomenal writer and this is everything I would want from a novel.

Life 3.0
by Max Tegmark

I'm gonna read Life 3.0 By Max Tegmark which is, he describes AI and how it, how it may or may not affect us in the future. He is a Swedish genius. I don't know if his genius, but he, the people compared to the Swedish Elon Musk and Elon Musk even praises the book. My parents recommended this as well, so I started already a little bit, and it's very interesting

Tao Te Ching
by Lao Tzu

In January we're going to start off with, we're going to work our way this way. We're going to start off super simple, baby level, Tao Te Ching. This is ancient Chinese wisdom. It's only 100 pages but you could very easily finish it in one day. [...] There are some passages that are just brilliant and that I keep coming back to.

— PewDiePie

Nicomachean Ethics
by Aristotle

Next up, guess what, another book I've talked about a ton: Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. That sounds so advanced but it's really simple. Do not be turned turned off from this. It is talking about happiness, how to be happy, what what does it mean to be a good person.

The Temple of Dawn (The Sea of Fertility)
by Yukio Mishima

On Felix's bookshelf.

The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea
by Yukio Mishima

Any advice for people getting into Yukio Mishima? What would I advise? Just read it, it's great! Read the tetralogy. I want to reread Mishima. That was a comfy time just plowing through all this literature. Could read some Mishima. [...] they're all in japan my whole library but I love this book (The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea) so much I bought another copy of it. It's weird with a Japanese author because I love his writing style or his prose so much but it's obviously translated so what does that really say, you know, can I say that I like an author's style of writing even if it's translated?

— PewDiePie

The Idiot
by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

In my opinion the beauty of fiction is when you have characters that are interesting and a story that really grips you in a way that the ideas behind it isn't as transparent and they have so much more impact - Dostoyevsky does this best ('Crime and Punishment', 'The Idiot')

— PewDiePie

Nineteen Eighty-Four
by George Orwell

I read 1984 by George Orwell before and it's one of my favorite books. It was a book that really left that impact on me and the meaning and the story tied together really gripped me and I think about it a lot.

— PewDiePie

The Temple of the Golden Pavilion
by Yukio Mishima

Right after reading the... The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea, I loved it so much and I wanted more because it was so short. I read "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion" and I absolutely LOVED IT!

Thus Spoke Zarathustra
by Friedrich Nietzsche

So next up we're going to go into Nietzche "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". I talked about this book in the video I made last year a little bit.

The Odyssey
by Homer

I also have a really old edition of The Iliad and the Odyssey which I'm very proud of a lot. It's probably one of my favorite books ever written highly recommend reading it.

The Illiad

Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality by Max Tegmark

Our Mathematical Universe
by Max Tegmark

This book brought up so many scientific possibilities that I had obviously no clue about they were never taught to me in school and to me they're just mind-blowing. I really don't want to sound like that one ninja tweet I can't stop thinking about Quantum fixes or whatever it is.

The Chrysanthemum and the Sword
by Ruth Benedict

I read the sword and chrysanthemum, I don't know if that's how you say it. It was written by Ruth Benedict, an anthropologist that was hired by the American government during World War II as an attempt to understand the Japanese people and their mindset at the time [...] Some people say it's not accurate, some people say it is. I just found it really interesting.

— PewDiePie

Fahrenheit 451
by Ray Bradbury

[About Fahrenheit 451] it is so bad, it is so terrible. I think it is a perfect example of a book that the moral is the core center of the novel which just makes it so god damn boring.

— PewDiePie

Crime and Punishment
by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

It was the longest one I read, and I- I mean that. Sometimes this book was very hard to get through, but the parts that shines in this novel truly shines.

— PewDiePie

The Gay Science
by Friedrich Nietzsche

His life affirming philosophy to me I think is so important. I don't remember if Zarathustra had that much of that idea in it, actually I think it's more in "The Gay Science", I know it's a hilarious title...

— PewDiePie

Siddhartha
by Hermann Hesse

We're going to finish with Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. Maybe it doesn't make sense to end on this, maybe it does make sense to end on this? I think I'll know once I read reread it. It is the the story of Buddha. [...] It's a beautiful, beautiful book that I would highly recommend to anyone. It really surprised me, caught me out of nowhere.

Woman in the dunes

I really recommend reading it, even if you heard me spoil it because it is a really fun, nice read. I mean, come on, it even has pictures in it. What more can you ask for? The [...] I would give this a 4 out of 5. It's a really nice book.

Kafka on the Shore

I tweeted out on twitter asking if their were any recommendations for Japanese authors because I enjoy reading Murakami (After the Quake, Norwegian Wood, Killing Commendatore, 1Q84, Kafka on the Shore)
