I have quite a few books on my to read list. If someone could tell me which one of these books I should get and which ones are good and bad, I'd appreciate it. If nothing else, I'm just doing this for curiosity so I can get some sort of general sense of the opinions on these books. It just interests me, it may or may not shape how I view the book, it depends.

Painted Bird is quite and experience.
The Classics on there like Lolita and Wuthering Heights and Steppenwolf are obvious.
Miller is boring
Suttree is McCarthy channeling Faulkner with all his power.
Hogg is pretty on par with literotica fetish works.
NYRB books are always worth a read.

>Hogg: A Novel by Samuel R. Delany
Amazing. Very difficult. Pretty on par with literotica fetish work. I would recommend if you're adventurous.

Houellebecq is shit
Miller is a joke
Read Lolita if you haven't yet, most of this board has and for good reason
Moravagine is a good book too
