Borges for the Baudrilliardian part, kinda. Also Baudrilliard.
Ibsen for

The next trilogy continues from the previous one and improves the ending; other than that, I remember it being much weaker, although I was about twelve when I read them, so I do not remember it all that well.

After the Farseer trilogy, she published the Liveship Traders trilogy. It's set in the same world, but in a very different setting. I enjoyed that series as well. After that there's the Tawny Man trilogy, which returns to the setting of the Farseer-trilogy and is a good read too. I've heard that the other series aren't that good, but I haven't tried them.

About 70% done with Assassin's Quest.
Fuck, the part in the mountains just keeps dragging on.

Fuck.

Iron Kingdom by Chris Clark, it's a general history of Prussia but its based as fuck. Go read it.

>>7699999
I don't know too much either, but go check Maupassant and La Dernière Classe by Alphonse Daudet.

I've been thinking about reading this book recently. Is it good?

Btw fuck your memes, memeboy.

>>7700333
the expressionist style and the prose are very good, better than other books by döblin i've read. really gives you a feeling of the pulsating life of berlin at the times of the weimar republic. franz biberkopf (the mc) is a lumpenproletariat idiot readers are somehow supposed to like/feel sympathetic for.

I enjoyed it enormously, though Wolfe does have something of a fetish for men's muscles and working out.

I remember really liking how he wrote his characters' accents.

What a gilf.

>>7699987
It felt like a really decent old law and order episode

Kiss of The Spider Woman by Manuel Puig.

>>7699955
Don't know if you'd like a film as well, but "Down By Law."

Although, as far as I can remember (unlike Kiss of the Spider Woman), Down By Law is pretty much no homo.

Slightly larger cast, but 'No Exit' by Sartre (whence 'hell is other people')

Have anyone read it? In Le Monde's "100 20'th cetury books" list it's 10'th so I guess it's pretty popular, at least in France. I have watched the film based on it by Michael Gondry and it's great.

It's very good, Vian has a killer way of making the environment fanciful and surreal. It's also a great love story, and if you've got a gf who's this tasteful I'm jealous.

>>7699913
It's playfully surreal and lyrical at times but I found it, I don't know, melodramatic, rather predictable towards the end, too whimsical...those are not the right words and I can't articulate why I didn't like it, especially the second half. I didn't find the satirical parts particularly funny either. You'll love it if you hate Sartre though.

Haven't read it, but Lem is a favorite (and the Borges comparison is apt). Let us know what you think of it when you can.

They're very funny and full of neat ideas.
The tone is a lot less sombre than Solaris.

>>7699855
I don't remember details.I read it a long time ago but it was nice.Lem is good.

Invisible Cities is barely a novel. It's a collection of "not-poems" interlaced with some surreal dialogue between Kublai Kahn and Marco Polo. It's pretty great, still. It's probably as good a place to start with any as a lot of his other stuff is fairy tales (still great). In my opinion 'If on a winter's night a traveler' is his best book but it's a pretty even split between that and Invisible Cities. Also I hated Cosmicomics but a lot of other people like it so you could look into some of those stories as well.

>>7699849
Thanks a lot Anon!

>>7699801
I recently finished Invisible Cities and loved it. It's a collection of short descriptions of cities based on interesting concepts (not dissimilar to Borges' short stories). It made me want to read more Calvino, so I'd certainly recommend it.

Honestly, there were probably plenty of people who hated Aurelius in his day

This. Ynless it was the Norton Crítica Edition, it's not worth it.

once you get enough life experience and are deep enough you'll hover above life instead of getting emotionally involved in it
