Books for a young aristocratic and sensible soul born in the wrong era, meant to have a life of adventures, conquests and glory and instead forced to 9-5 all days doing Excel sheets?

Why have "aristcratic nietzchean bronze age" retards on /lit/ and twitter become obessed with the conan stories and robert e howard despite the fact that howard was against aristocrats and on the side of the common man and those ideals of his reflect in the stories themselves?
there's a reason conan is depicted as killing the decadent previous hereditary king of aquilonia and is shown as a friend to the common people
and there's the fact that the conan stories aren't set in a bronze age world

Not a thing. Embarrassing post. You haven't read a single line by Nietzsche. Your idea of him is a bad caricature that has more to do with bap and neo-fascism than anything he's ever written. You should shut the fuck up about books you haven't fucking read.

The tranny that shot Kirk is literally more of a man than you pretend to be.

Why are trannies so disingenuous and retarded? The era of mystery is over and capitalism (aka retards) won, so all this shit is LARP. Kys

What does being a slave moralist cuck fighting for the rights of indigenous peoples have anything to do with being a Conan-esque barbarian?

Philosophically, Camus' "The Rebel" and "Myth of Sisyphus" are both pretty great works on how to face the world with an uncompromising attitude. Nietzsche is good but dont drink too deep from that well as he tends to become more of a funhouse mirror reflecting your what you want to read in him rather than teach you anything new.
But obviously, actually go on some adventures. The hippies unironically kinda figured this out. You dont need that much money as long as youre fine being dirty and uncomfortable at times. go hitchhike, trainhop, get yourself into some situations you need that aristocratic temperament of yours to get out of. Travel the world. If thats too scary at first, just go /out/ camping at least and build up from there.
If you really want conquest and battle, join as a mercenary or volunteer like some anons suggested but i would not recommend it unless you enjoy sitting in a ditch for a couple of months and then either leaving dead or with PTSD
Lastly, try to not get your mind in a twist with all the serfs-larping-as-aristocrats fascist stuff, you'll just end up a keyboard warrior defending lowlifes for being based or whatever. Not worth your time.

Nietzsche is good but dont drink too deep from that well as he tends to become more of a funhouse mirror reflecting your what you want to read in him rather than teach you anything new. Deleuze is similarly great and similarly prone to misreading as Nietzsche.

For the sake of argument I‘d say the fact that he turned Kirk from a universally-ridiculed oligarch’s astroturf into a grassroots martyr among rightoids is proof of OP‘s defense that fighting retarded battles for self-gratification makes everything worse.

Thats like saying Kamela has grassroots support among Kamela supporters. Who cares what some dorks think? his only cultural staying power is being a funny thing to add into your memes. About the same level as Diddy, Epstein, and 9/11

Fun fact, archaeologists/anthropologists think that those little statues were carved by women, looking down at themselves, probably while they were pregnant. That's why they have such weird proportions and huge floppy breasts.

he's completely right that the only thing killing Kirk achieved was further radicalisation

I read the Icelandic family sagas and to a lesser degree the legendary sagas
It's more satisfying to read them in the original language because the vocabulary and form of the language fits the content perfectly
Old Icelandic is a difficult language to learn but fortunately the prose texts are not written in necessarily complicated ways so they're the perfect learning material unlike what exists in Latin or Ancient Greek

Robert E. Howard was a terribly unhappy, racist, mother-obsessed, fattish bodybuilder who wore silly hats and waddled down his small-town Texas streets like a reincarnation of Teddy Roosevelt though what he was the reincarnation of was in fact Tweedledum, and whose sexuality seems ambiguous now because he never had time in his short life to come out anywhere but in his writing.

If I was rich, why would I need to work and save? If you live cheap it is easy to save up enough to live on for a few years; rent cheap room, work as much as possible, go live life. I don't understand the obsession with retirement, spend 40 years working so you can enjoy your "golden years" but are too old to do much of anything? I would much rather enjoy life while I am young and work when I am old. If I ever own a house again it will be one I build and likely on that property I have free use of for life but maybe I will buy a chunk of property in the middle of nowhere again. If I really wanted to buy a house it would only take a few years of working hard, living cheap and saving. I will probably get a boat once I am too old to have fun, assuming I don't get a boat before then but who knows.

Lol? Maybe in whatever rich country you're in and whatever nepo baby bullshit job you have.

I work construction and the night shift at a gas station. I have spent a fair amount of time in the third world and things are mostly the same there; the people who don't cry about their position in life tend to do alright, they focus on their goals and work their ass off until they get it.

yes, you do your job, you go home to your family, and you are in the fight right in your house as you listen to your wife yelling and watch your kid try to turn into a zombie. you want adventure, try telling your church friends that marriage is non negotiable. watch as everyone lies to everyone about it

Dude you live in a fucking country where you can work at a fucking gas station and be considered a normal human. No one can do that here except the Thai and Nepalese immigrants because they receive a free stipend, free housing, free food and free everything (so they can just stack cash and send it back home to buy a house and be the richest guy in the village) and the nepo criminal mafia companies are paid by the EU to hire them instead of us.
Tell me exactly where the fuck to go as a White European to receive a normal job where I can buy/build/whatever you're planning a house and RETIRE eventually.

Conan was none of those things because warlord-ism is a sign of weakness and lack of stability in post-industrial global society -- not strength and glory. Ergo, OP's question should be phrased as such:
>Books for a young aristocratic and sensible soul born in an era where I will inevitably get cucked
-then proceed from there.
