Mein Kampf
“Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.
Finnegans Wake.

>in one sock
That right there makes the passage
>>7635919
It was assigned reading in middle school for me. I thought it was kinda simple. Don't know why everyone doesn't get it.
I have a special love for Coleridge's Table Talk

Are you 14?

Read that recently, it was truly an amazing read. Have purchased more Nanokov to read in the future.

Just started book 2. I've heard this part of the book where they are just traveling around is boring shit. Is this true?

Zettel's Traum

Totally agree! Especially "The Grand Inquisitor" part where Ivan tells his story to Aleksey.
>>7635861
Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday; I can't be sure.
Best opening line for a book. Good choice OP.

Ficciones

sonya is a blonde and skinny and frail and delicate
get yo shit together nigguh
>>7637334
Christ almighty what the fuck is happening to this place
>>7636791
>sasha grey
we want people with acting talent for the role of sonya. le classic paul dano has that in spades but sasha grey? kill yourself pleb.

>>7636791
This is a much better Sonya imo.
>>7637539
Sonya has no relation to Saorise. In fact her name really annoys me because its not a traditional Irish name, its the noun form of "Freedom"
The odyssey. Lolita also, but the odyssey made me feel good on the inside
i dont like it as much as i used to but journey to the end of the night was a fantastic read the first time around
>>7637895
I was saying for a movie adaptation she would be better than sasha grey to play Sonya.
>>7635861
Les Enfants Terribles
Does anyone have a favourite book that isn't talked about constantly on /lit/?
>>7638549
not talked about as much as it should considering it's the single greatest piece of literature ever written.
Runaway Horses
I feel like a pleb for it sometimes, but I guess it shouldn't really affect me.
The Setting Sun by Osamu Dazai
>>7635861
The Great Gatsby
Does that make me a pleb?
House of leaves.
>>7638568
Well, that is in /lit/s top 100. Was hoping for a somewhat obscure book
>>7638607
Why do you feel like a pleb? Great novel, definitely in my top 5
Would it be right to say Camus is the opposite of Celine?
![220px-Starmaker_firstedition[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Krjjv6f.jpg "220px-Starmaker_firstedition[1].jpg")
his work generally always gives me goosebumps, short read, do recommend
>>7638703
It feels like sortof a pedestrian choice, especially in regards to some of Mishima's other work. I suppose I might just be too self-conscious!
>>7638746
definitely too self-conscious, its a great piece of work, shouldn't be concerned with what other people think so much. I still get chills from the last lines of that book tbqh
>>7638723
will put it on the to-read list senpai
>>7638678
this to be quite honest
or a scanner darkly
or something by douglas adams
>>7638713
Camus loved cause he got poon
Celine hated it (probably a beta fag)
>>7638868
I don't understand why his negativity gets such a bad wrap.
>>7638702
Quiet flows the don doesn't ever get talked about on here and I loved it.
