I didn't really enjoy On the Road much, so I might wait a while before reading more Kerouac. Thank you, though.
>>7609541
This looks interesting, almost like a German Vonnegut. Is that a fair comparison?
>>7609552
I have already read Cuckoo and enjoyed it. Someday I might read Kesey's other novel. Your other two suggestions look good, and are ones I haven't considered before.

>>7613260
Haven't read Cat's Cradle, and I wasn't really pushing Vonnegut - just seemed like a good recommendation for the anon above me. Will try though
hadji murat
the last year of leo tolstoy
the bell jar
>>7613260
read we
why not read zweig in german if you can read kafka
>>7613308
I just happened to have Kafka in German but Zweig in Dutch
À la recherche du temps perdu, La Prisonnière
>>7609147
i liked it. The dialogue was pretty hard to wrap my head around, but i like the black comedy vibes in it. And i like Beckett's style, he peppers his prose will little riddles and call-backs from earlier parts in the novel. Did you enjoy it?? I want to read the trilogy soon too.

Lolita - Nabokov
The Forever War - Haldeman
Don't have any recommendations... that's for plebs

>>7608976
1. The "United States" collection of essays by Gore Vidal.
2. "The Battle for Spain" by Anthony Beevor.
3. "Lucky Jim" by Kingsley Amis.
I know next to nothing about post-war german literature for the person above, but I suspect you might like "The Berlin Stories" by Christopher Isherwood. They give a slightly fictionalised but generally accurate picture of the Weimar Republic Era Germany, and how the Nazi threat was basically building itself up in the shadow of the period's decadence.
>>7613813
Sorry, forgot to recommend.Just read any book that interests you, friend.
Stoner
The Plague
Dubliners
Going through essentials, basically.
This picture is of a young lady who allowed the /lit/ life to consume her.

>you will never subject her to your weird pathological femdom fetishes like a modern Venus in Furs, being precociously perverse for your generation
>your weird kinky escapades will never be written about by literary critics and gossip clickbait generations into the future, millions of twitter proles finding out that you used to use something called a rimseat with this well-known authoress
