I've seen the list of books over at Art of Manliness and I've seen another one by Roosh. Of course, the sidebar and /r/becomeaman has various Red Pill-specific recommendations/required reading.

All that said, I have not yet come across a "Red Pill core curriculum", if you will. The "core" could just be a starting point for the newcomer. Once he's got that down, he can move on to whatever he likes. Heck, the newcomer could just ignore it. Really, I'm only interested in what each of you think the canon should be.

I bet books such as "The Manipulated Man" or "The Prince" will form part of it, but what about other areas of knowledge?

Are there any parts of history that if you could make required reading, you would? The Roman Empire? The British and French revolutions? The World Wars? The Russian Revolution? American Civil War?

What about psychology? I often see layman books being recommended, but rarely rigorous, academic ones. Why is that?

Mathematics, statistics and programming? I can vouch for the excellence of Unit 1 of Udacity's CS101. Shame on me for not finishing the others. I lost motivation along the way. I just tried to learn coding because they said it would be useful, but I was not sure what the purpose would be. I finished off Unit 1 in a few hours.

What about biology and science in general?

What do you think of the "Great Books" approach towards studying Western culture? Some colleges have courses dedicated to those (Directed Studies at Yale, HUM at Reed, Core at UChicago and Columbia). Some are even based around those. (St John's)

Discuss.
