reading list | TheRedPill

After having read the side bar what I feel I lack most is a means to approach game. At the same time I want to learn more about stoic philosophy and read some things I should probably read anyway, like the Prince. Do you guys have any opinion on the following reading list? Is there a specific order in which I should read the following books? Do you think any of them are unnecessary or if I should add anything in that has specifically benefitted you?

I was planning to read the books in this order:

The Book of Pook
Bang by Roosh
The Handbook by Epicetus
Models
Rational Male
48 laws of Power
Sex God Method
The Prince
Rollo’s follow up to Rationale male - preventative medicine
Mastery - Robert Greene

I've recently just ordered Roosh's "Bang" and "Day Bang" after watching his appearance on Dr. Oz. Despite what some of the veteran RP men are saying about his performance and lack of preparation on entering the lion's den, I was still impressed he went that far and at least tried to bring some VERY valid points to those blinded women.

Would be interested in what you have to say about "Bang" once you have read it. I've read "The Game" by the PUA Style, and wondered just how much was fiction just to make an enjoyable read. Hopefully Roosh's books have some truth to them that can aid BP men in their quest for a fulfilling life, by being able to build attraction with women.

I would HIGHLY recommend 'Sex at Dawn'. Its a fairly revolutionary look at evolutionary psychology

Revolutionary evolutionary psychology. Sounds good.

Bang and Models are good, I haven't gotten much out of ancient philosophy texts myself.

James Stockdale was a POW who wrote accounts of his time in prison. There are pdfs online and he draws heavily in epictetus. You might check it out. They are quick reads.

I will have to check that out. I find that the older the text the more is lost by context and languauge until it is unreadable. I usually can't get past the deprecated language and the occasionally false statements, if I'm going to read something I want something that is understandable, IDK if I'm just stupid or something but it always seems like 30% of those ancient texts are indecipherable as if the translator didn't know what he's doing. And then I run into a provably false statement like "in some parts of Germania there are unicorns" and it turns me off of the whole piece.

tldr: Books are like women, past a certain age they decline in quality.

The tl;dr made me laugh. Ancient texts are extremely old and the world they were born out of is very murky. The more I read about the ancient world, the more I realize just how little we know about it. However, my interest is always piqued by guys like Stockdale who found meaning in these old books. What's kind of cool is that we know they came from a masculine time, so we can trust that they won't be fouled up by feminist garbage.
