Let's have a thread where we all get recommend books to read. If you have one of the books, read it immediately.
Just post 'Recommend me books' to get replies.

Don Quixote

Recommend me shit to read. Preferably something that isn't 9000 pages worth of word salads.
I read Notes from the Underground earlier this month. I'm open to more books of the same sort.

Recommend me some good books I've never heard of
A really comfy book with well thought out characters.
>>7957812
I've heard of almost all of those, but for a few it's probably because you've posted them before. Will look into the couple I haven't heard of
>>7957815
most are part of the essential charts
>>7957815
I'll take that as a good sign.
>>7957830
If you mean pic related, sure, but that's really the only chart I've seen that has them.
>>7957485
This is an annoying meme. You are annoying. You are a meme.
>>7957855
Liking things is a meme
Need more books to read, REALLY bad...
im failing on infinite jest. i love the ideas but fuck is it boring. and i gave up 2666 because it was very anti US, so fuck bolano. i love don quixote and moby dick. i dont mind length, but i need something fun or experimental without being pretentious. recommend me something american, but not DFW american
>>7957905
A people's tragedy by Orlando figes
White guard by mikhail Bulgakov
The apprenticeship of Duddy kravitz by mordecai Richler
Siege 13 tamas dobozy
>>7957913
If you want some good American lit, I would recommend Faulkner. All memes aside, he's really one of the best our country has to offer. If you haven't read him I would start with As I Lay Dying or, if you're more interested in short stories, Dry September or That Evening Sun. His masterpieces are The Sound and the Fury and Absalom, Absalom!, so if you are interested in reading him at his best, these are what you want. However, anything before 1943 is great (maybe excepting Mosquitoes).

This pic triggers my autism so fucking hard
For fuck sake Murakami should at least be deeper than Kerouac, who is shit
Why is Dickens almost level 2, he's so easy and pleb-tier
>>7958471

>>7957485
is that internet dreams book real? i can't find any info about it via google
>>7958530
And then there's the porn star down the bottom
>>7958054
I'd also throw in The Wild Palms (If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem).
>>7958674
Yes, I forgot about it. Definitely worth reading, and commonly cited as his best work outside the Yoknapatawpha universe (I'm not looking that up, so it's probably horribly misspelled)
>>7958589
it's as real as Tlon i suppose
>>7957788
I recently tried reading Out by Christine Brook-Rose, got bogged down in the middle and left it in limbo. Do you recommend picking it up again or starting with something else of hers? It's not that I didn't like it or didn't understand much (at least I think I did), just that it was putting me to sleep after ten pages every night, so I left it for something with a straightforward plot. Thanks.
>>7957485
Fuck, I really need to read Internet Dreams. I know It's a troll chart and It doesn't exist, but still...
