I get them from
-Amazon and goodreads “if you like this book you may also like these” and “people who bought this book also bought these” sections.
-asking ai’s for similar books and books about certain topics
-just looking up book topics on google and looking around for any interesting ones
-rightist twitter
-these two people in the internet who’s content I like that have their reading lists posted
-the /lit/ wiki
I have found all of the book I am interested in reading through these methods.

The books I read reference other books or have bibliographies at the back

i have a backlog of recommendations from various professors to work through, occasionally when a book I like references another book i'll read that one.
sometimes i see someone reading something on twitter that looks interesting and I'll put it on my list.
i have a friend who reads a lot and she recommends me things she thinks i'll like, sometimes. usually light stuff. read my first angela carter on her recommendation - they're nice for taking a break from nonfiction.

Whenever people say PDF I wonder why would they need a non-reflowable format for fiction with no complex formatting, and what do they use to read it.

>i must have more knowledge
Go on /t/, Ctrl+f Bibliotheca Alexandrina, it's about 500GB of books on ancient to modern history, archaeology, culture, etc.
Ignore the porn megapacks, grab only the books.

From /lit/ and its charts. Idc if "I can't think on my own". I would have never read some of my favorite books if it weren't for /lit/.
