So, today is my birthday and I've just turned 18. In spite of that, what book should I start to read today? Here's my list:

>Steppenwolf
>Ulysses
>Our Ancestors
>The Death of Ivan Ilich
>Canterbury Tales
>The Portrait of The Artist as a Young Man

Also, I've got some money to spare and I'm keen to listen to your literary recommendations for a freshman into adulthood :^)

Happy birthday! Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 19. I'm going to get some books on Sunday. I think I will get In Search of Lost Time because my local bookstore gas it in two books.

refrain yourself from reading books

Don't spend your birthday reading. Spend that money on drugs, alcohol or hookers. Whatever you have enough for. Make it special.
Seriously, even if you have no friends and can't afford drugs and hookers, at the very least take yourself out for dinner.

Make sure you read Portrait before you delve into Ulysses.

Otherwise I'd go with Steppenwolf.

Thanks for the hint, I'll be sure to check it.

Happy birthday to you too, pal. I've heard great things about Proust, but I'm not sure if I want to read him translated and I won't have time to learn french until I get my Law degree and, welp, get a job.

I've already read Dubliners and it was an amazing piece of writing. Is TPOTAAAYM better than his short stories?

That's for tomorrow, mate. My grandfather died yesterday and I've been attending to his funeral services until two hours ago. It's hard to party when you just left someone buried for an eternity.
