This is probably bait, but
How was Don Quixote? Planning to read it later this summer.
>Spending more time reading than thinking
Modernity was a mistake.

Not him, but that was a great adventure for sure, truly imaginative.

Don Quixote is an incredible book
45, with a goal of 52. Feels pretty good to be close to completing the goal this early because I know I'll be busier later in the year, and many of the books I want to read next are very long.

>>8063286
It can get a bit exhausting, particularly the first part, but overall it's enjoyable. I thought the second part had some interesting ideas and surprisingly meta moments.
Not one of my favorites this year but no where near the bottom either.
>>8063286
one of the pinnacles of literature
Around 60, though most are very short or picture-heavy.
>>8063258
any suggestion?
15, currently 4 behind on my goal for 52 for the year.
23 out of 52 planned
since I don't have a job or internship this summer I'm hoping to get ahead and beat 52

Knowing nothing about you I would suggest Lolita. It's probably the closest I've ever read to a "perfect" book.
I also really enjoyed: A Confederacy of Dunces, White Noise, Catch 22, and The Book of the New Sun.
Not as "lit-approved" but David Sedaris's short story collections are a fun break from the usual suspects.
Why the fuck does it matter?
I'm reading the Mahabharata at the moment. If I wanted to reach an arbitrary goal of "1 book read per week" I could read 6-7 short novels in the same time period.
