Nick has often recommended Jesus in the Talmud by Peter Schafer and Blood Passover by Ariel Toaff. He mentioned before reading a book about jews poisoning wells during the black death but he never mentioned which book it was. I know that The Black Death by Rosemary Horrox mentions it briefly, and you can find a text-to-speech reading of it on bitchute.
Some more books that Nick has regularly recommended are: Against Our Better Judgement by Alison Weir, The Weight of Three Thousand Years by Israel Shahak, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy by Mearsheimer (and The Tragedy of Great Power Politics), two works from Samuel T. Francis titled Beautiful Losers and Essential Writings on Race, Supermob by Gus Russo (his state department friend recommended this one to him), Decline of the West by Spengler, Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes, and, of course, Ron Unz's American Pravda series, specifically his articles titled Holocaust Denial and Oddities of the Jewish Religion. He also once or twice mentioned Sex and Character by Otto Weininger, an anti-semitic jew who wrote that jews were feminine.
I would personally recommend The Last Days of the Romanovs by Robert Wilton if you've ever been interested in how the Russian royal family was murdered by the jewish bolsheviks. It includes a demographic list of the soviet government (including names) at the end of the book. Around 82% were jewish.

I read about as much as I could get through of Rod Dreher's "The Benedict Option", recently, for class. An absolutely contemptible compilation of Dreher sobbing about how Trump is mean and has too much fun and how the only solution is for Christians to make wholesome changes communes and leave politics forever, which he has done for himself by leaving Catholicism for Eastern Orthodoxy in 2006 (because he thinks Catholicism is run by a secret mafia of gay priests) and fleeing to Hungary (would you like to guess what religion they follow there? hint; it's not Orthodoxy) last year. His arguments are nothing but thinly veiled moral cowardice .

On a much more positive note, I started List's "The National System of Political Economy" and Haller's "Restoration of Political Science" a little less and a little more recently, respectively. I do not have much time to read on my own, but they have both been quite insightful and fascinating to read.

Everyone who uses this forum should read Shibumi by Trevanian as soon as possible. Trevanian is a genius and it is one of the only books I have ever read where I was actually kind of close to tears. It's by no means a sad book, it is just really, really good.

I forgot to mention some important books last night.
'Suicide of a Superpower' and 'The Death of the West' by Patrick J. Buchanan. Nick used to reference these books a lot when he used to call himself a paleocon.
'Icebreaker: Who Started the Second World War?' by Viktor Suvorov. If you've watched Nick's Russia-Ukraine War debates then you may remember him reference this theory called the "Suvorov Hypothesis," which claims that Stalin had been preparing for decades to conquer all of Europe, and it was only by Hitler's preeminent strike against the Soviet Union that this plan was thwarted. You can tell by the author's last name that this is the book that posits this theory.
'Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides' Trap?' by Graham Allison. I'm not sure if Nick has referenced this book specifically, but I know he referenced Thucydides' Trap while discussing international relations concerning America and China. He may have read the book, or he may have simply heard of the concept.
'The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order' by Samuel P. Huntington. Can't remember if he referenced this one or not tbh.
'The Metamorphosis of Plants' by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
I'm fairly certain that Nick has a collection of Joseph de Maistre's works as well.

It's very down to earth and cozy. 90% of the book is him showing up to a battle and waiting for papers. The battles usually end before he gets papers.

John Tolands bio on Adolf Hitler is Gem-packed with goodies that will make every chud filled with glee. I finshed hesiods works again (only 3 poop reads). I am reading through "Sources of Chinese Tradition vol 1" very interesting work and I wish there was a book like it on romand and greek culture. Primary sources with some scholarly context. Very nice overview. But I am already forgetting it. I must take notes.
Ecclesiastes 12:12
"My son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh."
