The author, Miles Mathis, provides a list of reading and viewing recommendations, reflecting on his own rereading experiences and requests from readers. He discusses several classic novels, often noting that their beginnings are stronger than their endings. He shares opinions on works by Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Nabokov, Mark Twain, Turgenev, Dickens, Colette, Carlyle, George MacDonald, James Stephens, James MacPherson, Jules Michelet, Camus, and Wendell Berry. The author also recommends art-related texts, including works by James Whistler, Rodin, Van Gogh, Nietzsche, John Ruskin, Walter Pater, and Matthew Arnold. He delves into Tolstoy’s philosophical writings and critically examines the historical contexts and potential hidden influences behind these authors, particularly Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy, whom he controversially suggests may have Jewish connections and were part of Phoenician lines, possibly engaging in “controlling the opposition.” The latter part of the text focuses on a detailed, speculative analysis of Dostoyevsky’s life, questioning the authenticity of his experiences and linking him to lenin and Phoenician origins, while also recommending some films.
