I read Alice in Wonderland almost biannually, so probably that.
>>7787584
The Tunnel, of course.
>>7788148
I think you mean semianually.
>>7788151
gtfo gassposters. The tunnel is a pile of shit.
>>7788431
is it? why? not the same anon. i've been leery about Gass. I checked the first page via Amazon, and i read "Tampax". I'm not so sure after that.
>>7788434
It's nonsensical drivel, you'd be better off reading something actually worth your time.
>>7788157
No, I wait twice a year to read it.
the little prince
Grapes of Wrath
Infinite Jest
>>7788434
I bought it last week. It's shit, a device of cultural terrorism that assumes the maturity, in style and spirit, of a edgy college sophomore.
>>7788444
like mcelroy? or hawkes?
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
>>7788431
>>7788444
None of that is true, you sillybilly. Please read/understand a novel before you post about it.
>>7788434
It's beautifully written and filled with enough content to keep you scratching your head forever. If anyone ever says it is meaningless or nonsensical, immediately disregard their opinion, as almost every word in The Tunnel was deliberately placed where it was for a specific reason. Here is a section that Michael Silverblatt posted in his review:
"Ponderous aunts and uncles, uncles lean as withered beans, aunts pale as piecrust, grandmapas with rheum and gout, cousins shrill as sirens, sounding themselves through the house like warnings of death from the air (later in London, I heard them often), cousins who scratched you under the table, all agloat cousins who told on other cousins, cousins who scooped up fistfuls of mashed potato and let it slime over their wrists; aunts who wore hats in the house, aunts who starched and ironed linens, aunts who stirred pots, flagellated rugs, opened doors for dogs, swatted flies, and reminisced fondly of death and diseases as if they were high school dances, former flames; uncles and great-uncles who, like the hoppers, spat long brown jets of chewing tobacco across the railings while they rocked; nieces and nephews, a few of those too, who peed in their pants, threw up, bawled, and beat you on the shins and ankles with alphabet blocks; relatives at every conceivable remove, but not removed, each noisily present. . . ."

looks shit
>>7788500
>cousins
Pynchon?
>>7788500
thanks anon, though, i must say, that looks absolutely horrible. I would never read anything like that. Ever. It looks like an immense waste of time, really.
The Stranger
Blood Meridian
(but keep in mind that I only got back into reading last year)
Lolita or Revolutionary Road.
>>7788640
why am i boring? because i don't want to read something horrible? okay then.
Journey to The West
>>7788640
well you already proved you have shit judgment, so think what'd you like...
cosmopolis doesn't get enough love
>>7788681
>Revolutionary Road
Great book, very underrated. I haven't seen the movie, so I can't really talk about it much.
>>7788737
hey, have you read outlaws of the marsh yet?
Crime and Punishment
>>7788747
Not yet, but I am going too .
Anna Kerenina
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
East of Eden
>>7788743
Is the movie any good?
the obscene bird of night by jose donoso
Catch-22.
>>7789282

>>7789801
>don cherry is still alive
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
>>7787584
Did you say love?
>>7789867
Alive and kicking. Still rambling about good old canadian boys with heart on a weekly basis. He looks great for his age too. The death of Don Cherry will be sadder than the death of Wayne Gretzky in the hockey world.
Either The Sound and the Fury or Lolita.
Redwall was the first book that I read that wasn't one of those beginners books like Magic Tree House and it will always be special to me.
LOTR, unironically.
An Unexpected Party is still the comfiest chapter of any book ever written.
>>7788743
that's because it isn't good
>>7788157
Biannually works too anon.
>>7789722
Thank you. Gonna watch it. Love Cronenberg anyway.
>>7787584
I love you too anon.
My favorite novel is Franny & Zooey
>>7788151
Is this high literature?
Do I need to read something else to get it?
How smart to do I have to be into Gass ?
post yfw the best novel in the english language was written by a filthy pole
the power and the glory
cannery row
less than zero
oh, only one.....
>>7788777
sarcasm, or actually a solid? i'm gonna do that one soon, but anything over 300 pages kills my motivation unless it's that solid.
>>7790417
I am just about to read Nostromo. How does Heart of Darkness compare in terms of quality? Might pick it up next.
My favorite book is pic related.
The Stranger.
