this book sounds more interesting to me than Revolt, but the writing style Evola employs in Revolt really put me off his writings, specifically how dense and rambling it is, plus the subject matter turned out being something I only really had a passing interest in anyway. I'm hoping Eros reads better. how does it compare? I've heard someone say it's his best book, or better than Revolt, at least

His books on esoteric topics are legit great so long as you keep in mind it's his take influenced by his worldview.

People have memed him to death like Mishima, but there's a fire under that smoke.

not to say he shouldn't be read but Guénon is much more interesting

I like Guénon more as a philosopher, but Evola's chops at framing myths are much better. Man should have been a prophet.

Coeur has posted recently that Evola is a total mediocrity. I believe him.

Why not just read the primary sources?

Why, because I recognize the difference between a treatise and a pamphlet?

He makes interesting and insightful connections I haven't seen anywhere else.

But of course, I would encourage anyone to read primary sources.
