Greetings you proud sons of the Empire.
Today I have a book recommendation actually, or several, talking about the Horus Heresy in the Warmer 40k universe.
So here's the books I've read so far in the series.
Looking rather glorious in all actually.
And the best one of those is Fulgrim.
So it looks like this.
Highly glorious.
And now you think like, oh, why would I want to read science fiction when I can read something about self-improvement or philosophy or economy etc?
I would actually say that these books are.
First of all, they're a great motivation.
Like you, you want to kill it in the gym because you want to be a big juicy Astartis warrior like a space marine.
But they are also so epic like this was the first science fiction books I read and I was like okay cool, I'm gonna give it a try and good god I, I love the books.
So um, next culture stack might just be to return to the Warmer 40k universe, just because of the epicness.
And also I would say that there is a great philosophical element in the books which gets you to think, especially actually in this one, especially if you're into bodybuilding etc, with physical perfection and everything like that, this was one of the best books I read.
Just because of that, just because the conversations in the book, I was like thinking all the time, expanding my own mind via the thoughts in the book.
So um, I wouldn't view the Horus Heresy as just an epic saga.
I would also view it as something that you can draw inspiration from and expand your own mind with.
Yeah, it's not philosophical work or self-improvement per se, but great motivation and great way to get you to think and just, you know the epic scale of it all.
So uh yeah, really really fascinating books.
Fascinating as fuck, actually really love them, and there are like 30 of the books so um, i'm looking forward to continue reading them now.
I have some other books that I read right now before I return to that universe, but but yeah, really solid books.
I can definitely recommend them.
Great motivation.
Great motivation for our current situation in in modern Europe as well.
Um so yeah, get into it.
Uh, great recommendation right there.
And who am I?
