Hey there /lit/
Help a pleb out, please
Recently, I developed a real interest in reading
I've only read Faulkner and Camus so far
Today I managed to buy Ulysses and Moby Dick for ten bucks, which is really cheap where I live

Which one should I read first?
>>
>reads Camus
>goes to Ulysses

I admire your insanity. Attempt Moby Dick first.
>>
Fuck the teachers, fuck the Canon

I would love for you to go straight to Ulysses, anon
It's a pretty big task to take on, but you'll have fun

Joyce is actually one author whose works it's a really good idea to read chronologically. That means starting him with Dubliners. Moby Dick is a good read; just be aware that there are cetology sections that might not seem interesting but actually are.

Thanks anons

I won't have the money to buy another book for a while, but I might try it later on. Thanks anyway, anon.

It's pretty bad to jump straight into Ulysses but that's also how I accidentally got into high literature. I just got it cause I liked the odyssey as a kid and had no idea what I was getting into. Had only a general idea of what was going at any given moment but I fell in love with the way the sentences sounded and I hadn't experienced that from novels before cause I was a palahniuk chugging pleb.
