Quality post, bump

Really based. He read all that making him smart enough to try to ban usury in Europe.
Banker kikes were pissed and got all of Europe against him.
Nowadays jewish history doesn't even mention Napolean tried to ban usury. Which would have changed history and kike power.
Only book I see missing is Martin Luther's "Jews and Their Lies".
If Napolean read that he would have been tougher on the kikes. He should have gassed or deported the kikes to haiti.

He was really fucking smart but also a master bullshitter, an effective time saver if you will
When writing letters to women he confidently pulled shit out of his ass to seem poetic and intellectual
There's a possibility he didn't read allat

>While still a cadet, Napoleon I had made a habit of never parting with a big crate he would fill with his favourite books. Later on, be it in his imperial palaces or military travels and campaigns, he was always eager to have on hand some library suiting his documentary needs and literary taste. So, right from the first Italy campaign, he had portable libraries set up. In all his campaigns throughout Europe, Napoleon would thus always take with himself small volumes, carefully arranged in mahogany cases

There are hundreds of accounts of him reading starting from him doing so during German class as a kid and the personal library he set up in 1800 during his time as Emperor had 13.000 books by 1814.
I feel like that's going a bit far even for a master bullshiter.

he absolutely read all of that
he spent all of his allowance as a child on books instead of food and was underweight because of it

I'm surprised Plutarch isn't in the list. Seems like something Napoleon would read.
