People keep asking what they should be reading so here's a small guide. However, I do have to comment on this. "What do I read next?" is a silly question. Reading is a lifelong pursuit. You start young and never stop. There are different routes and you pick the one that suits you best, not the one someone else has chosen for you. My general recommendation is that everyone starts with the Greeks, carries on to the Romans, reads every philosopher whose name you recognise and THEN picks up esoteric books. In practise, this doesn't work because people get curious or bored or life gets in the way. Pick the book that you will finish. Before you read Evola, you should read Guenon and Nietzsche because his writings are a response to this. Before you read Jung, you should read Fromm and Freud. So on and so on. Your understanding of every single book in the world will vary depending on what you've already read and it's completely up to you where your perception lies before you pick a specific title.
