The Book of the Law.

I haven鈥檛 read any of those yet! Out of those which do you think I should read first?

I mainly read business, marketing, finance and personal development stuff.

I haven鈥檛 read any of those either! Any recommendation for which of those I should read first?

Also that coin looks super cool.

The tarot is a card deck as you prob know but with it comes a vast ocean of symbolism and information... Thoth deck and Crowleys "Book of Thoth" is where I started. Emerald tablets is great. Book of the law is brutal and not for everyone. Took me a year.

For personal development Siddhartha may be a good choice (easy, short)

For a grasp of history and where we're at, where we are going and an almost complete all around education, Decline of the west (hard)

The Kingdom is the bible of christian anarchism.

Hyperion is beautiful and almost forgotten.
Few make it through, it seems.

Thus spoke zarathustra is a great antidote to marxism.

Hard to say which one is for you...

Most people don't seem to be interested in any of them.

Then there's all of Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky is without any doubt the greatest novelist who ever existed,
closely followed by Tolstoy.

The fact that hardly anyone reads those masters anymore is likely the result of some kind if black magic.

Their books contain worlds that stay with you.

My personal favorites are Demons, Brothers karamazov and The Idiot.

My favorite Tolstoy, besides the theoretical work The Kingdom of God is within you is War and Peace.
