@ShadenLines yo, i spend a lot of time in the computer, so i avoid reading in pdfs and prefer to read in physical books to keep some distance of the computer screen. Personal development talks about how it's good to read, it's good for your brains and exercise your concentration. Those rich guys like mark zuckerberg, elon musk, warren buffet, bill gates, etc, etc reads a lot, legend says some of them reads a ridiculous amount of text per week

Very good. This article might overstate the benefits somewhat, but the benefits do occur to practitioners: https://www.realsimple.com/health/preventative-health/benefits-of-reading-real-books

yo, i wanted to read to the epic of gilgamesh. "White trash" remembers me of a mission in gta iv where you gotta kill a black guy then he says something like "fuck off, white trash". I also like to understand different point of views i even wanted to read hitler mein kampf and the karl marx communist manifesto
Mostly of my books are bible or religion based stuff like book of enoch, mormon, saint augustine, etc. Some time ago i bought a dictionary full of medical words (inspired by carcass). I'm reading david goggins "cant hurt me" book, i'm loving that book, i love david goggins, he is so cool and handsome black dude with nice shape

It's good to see you're into educating yourself, too. If you ever have sufficient free time to do it, you can find a lot of famous & infamous books in PDF format on the Net, if you don't mind reading from a screen. Even if you do mind it, you can always print the files out somewhere. I don't recall the exact price as I bought it a while back, but my translation of the Epic is not very long...bought it for under $15, if memory serves.
I don't have a physical copy of the Communist Manifesto, but I do have one of Mein Kampf & the sequel...yes, ol' Adolf wrote a second book. I don't think he gave it a final title but it is still in print. He never actually proves any of his statements (particularly about Jews), but his observations about the masses are uncomfortably accurate at times.
