Magic Mountain
Soul Mountain by Gao Xingjian.
In terms of tone, it's similar as experimental, absurdist work like Samuel Beckett.
If you want something more concrete, try Red Sorghum by Mo Yan, who resembles Kafka.
Tell me about Lord Byron, /lit/
Why was he an important figure for romanticism?

What do you think of this booklist, /lit/?
>no Trump
Discarded
>>7876273
only read "how to win freinds and influence people" from whats compiled here but i would reccomend that its a very nice read, so if any of those are on par with that, cant be a terrible list although some titles are sort of "click bait" example, "i will teach you to be rich" write a book on how to get rich to get rich
Kahneman is great. Malkiel is pretty good. Taleb is okay but kind of a blowhard and I'm not really sure there's much in there you could use as investment advice. Sowell, Hazlitt and Schiff are hacks, avoid at all costs. Marx is...interesting. I will avoid passing judgment either way but I do not think you'll get any useful investment advice out of Capital.
Haven't read the rest.

All I can write is satire. But my favorite writer is DFW. I feel like I'm failing my master, what do I do?
>>7876155
Be a nicer person, Lauren.
have you read his short stories? the reason i don't enjoy them is because they're too satirical. not enough humanity. probably the reason he worshiped George Saunders.
Incorporate it into your work. Make it subtle. Read some more serious fiction and get a good mix between (subtle) satire and the rest going.
Would read if done right.
could you rec me some books about being alone/ living a heremitic life?

The epic of your nation.

Poems, Essays, Articles, Books.
How do you keep track of everything you've read?
>>7875752
Why would you want to do this? If the literature in question makes a large impact on me I will inevitably write something about it as I read it, or reference it in the things I'm writing at the time, otherwise what on earth is the point
>>7875752
I usually just use my brain
Goodreads, basic memory
