Hey /lit/. I realized I haven't read enough books during my 20 years of living, due to my slow reading and depression that keeps me from being able to concentrate. Also, most books I've read were YA novels in highschool (which I hated when reading) or other meh entery-level stuff like Lord of the Flies. However, recently I decided I should force myself to read more frequently and intensely.
Literary works that I can say I really love are everything by Tolkien, 1984, PKD's Do Androids and The Three Stigmata, Ender's Gamd and Story of the Eye.
What I already plan to read are Pynchon's stuff, DFW's, Le Guin's, Neuromancer, The Tunnel, Foucault's Pendulum, and that's it on my list, I think.
Don't direct me to the starter kit, already read much of it that I enjoyed like A Clockwork Orange or BNW, but I look for "deeper" shit.
So can you guys please suggest your 10/10 books please?
Anyone?

Start with the Greeks
Also read japanese lit
yeah but have you read these? the other list is a meme
>reading meme-tier "works" such as Ender's Game
I hate when shit like this gets popular because I can never tell if its disturbing or just as much of a brain rot as watching the newest FotM anime
>>7519845
that list is actually not even bad nice

Ender's Game is an objectively terrible book which contributed to the infantilization of many Americans. Luckily, it's not very popular outside of the US.
It's the ultimate wish fulfillment - the loser kid (you) is actually the savior of mankind and the Best Thing Ever™. If you can't self-insert yourself into that, there are still the Super Genius siblings who save earth's politics with their super-smart Tumblr blog. Everybody who's a shit finds their mirror in this book, and can justify to themselves to stay a shit.

>caring about plot
>not dismissing it on the grounds that card can't write to save his life
we can tell you're a pleb btw
>>7519870
Hold on, you seem to imply that the book is popular due to its quality of writing?
Dismissing it due to its quality of writing is like dismissing Disneyland due to its system of water drainage - that's not why people like it.using "we" doesn't make your shit opinion more valid

i refuse to believe that's what you think i wrote. no one is this detached from reality. be disingenuous somewhere else.

Nice avoiding of any discussion, you must be a hoot in real life
btw adding meme pics to your useless posts doesn't add anything of value
>>7519874
hard to disagree with the picks either way
>>7519845
Honestly the first good list I've seen. I'd swap out 1984 for V., though, and put, idk, 'To the Lighthouse' maybe? in place of 'What We Talk About...'
>>7519863
well I mean I read it in middle school and the only thing I got out of it is the scene where they're watching dicks and balls on a computer or something

>Nice avoiding of any discussion
did you think i called you a pleb to start a conversation with you? are you lonely or an autist?
>btw adding meme pics to your useless posts doesn't add anything of value
>hurr durr don't post images in the imageboard
