If you could reveal your thoughts and reasoning behind the choices, as this is a discussion board, that would be preferable.
At any rate, the choice of picture is admirable. Sun-bronzed thighs, calves and feet are divine.

thread should be renamed: the only 10 books you've read
Guys this thread is suppose to trigger me right? It's all in jest, yea? I am unsure! please this can't be real
>>8210829
Does /lit/ not like Coetzee? He's barely mentioned. I really like Dusklands, and I know people smarter than posters here who like Disgrace alot, I have yet to read it myself though.

Nick Hornby likes it too :)
I can't order them, too much pressure.
Favourite is Steppenwolf.

only thing on your list I've read was Ubik, and boy was that a wild ride.
>>8213839
Melville sets you straight about whales in much the same way a redneck sets you straight about the federal reserve; insistently, arrogantly, and incorrectly. I'm glad I have read Moby Dick but I think I would have hated Melville.
There's no use in stating your favorite books without any sort of commentary. This thread is a practice of delusional anons who think anyone has the time to read and commend their shitty lists that have already been typed before.

>>8212103
Disgrace is beautiful and terrifying. want to read Elizabeth Costello real bad.
This guy "tastes" (>>8210065) are banal, everybody can read a few classics and call them favourites (and maybe rightfully so), the problem is that people on /lit/ are so concerned filling up their charts, their reccomended lists that the only thing that's getting read is typically just dosto, joyce, and few other greats. Nobody reads other things. Taste here is a staple

>>8214731
If you like hgttg you might like Terry Pratchett. He might be "lol so randum" at times but his philosophy is sound.
1-2 - Gormenghast, Titus Groan - The imagination and prose of these books are unparalleled, 'nuff said.
3 - Suttree - Again, the prose is juicy beyond belief, and the utter pathos of the story and its characters makes it more accessible and human than similar monumental books like, say, Ulysses.
4 - The Consumer (by Michael Gira) - Not a very traditional collection, nor even particularly well written, but it manages to get inside you and make you feel unclean.
5 - Grendel - The oscar bait equivalent of books, it's still a seminal achievement, a depiction of historic angst and senseless human industry and tragedy (with, ironically, the monster being the most senselessly tragic character of them all)
I'm not well-read enough to list 5 more.
I'll bite and do a non-bait list
1. William S. Burroughs - Naked Lunch
2. Don Delillo - White Noise
3. Henry James - Washington Square
4. Jack Kerouac - Dharma Bums
5. Walt Whitman - Leaves of Grass
6. Joan Didion - The White Album
7. Gertrude Stein - Tender Buttons
8. Chester Himes - A Rage in Harlem
9. Chuck Klosterman - Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs
10. Thomas Pynchon - Inherent Vice *
**I enjoy his other books but Vice sticks with me the most
>>8215037
>3 - Suttree - Again, the prose is juicy beyond belief, and the utter pathos of the story and its characters makes it more accessible and human than similar monumental books like, say, Ulysses.
>more accessible and human than similar monumental books like, say, Ulysses.
>more human than Ulysses.
>Ulysses
Ulysses is one of the most human books and the inaccessibility is a meme. Will you get every allusion, no, but 80% doesn't require any outside reading. Not that you have to jump into it but leave JJ alone.
>>8215110
Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating Ulysses. I think it's a great book. Just, personally, I prefer Suttree.
>>8215110
Ulysses is one of the most human books and the inaccessibility is a meme. Will you get every allusion, no, but 80% doesn't require any outside reading.
so is reading The Odyssey before Ulysses not """required""" reading? I'm going to read Dubliners and Portrait first, but I'm hesitant to read Ulysses because I've been convinced that I need to study an Ancient Greek tome beforehand.
>>8215137
lol forgot to greentext that quote, my bad
China Mieville - The Scar
Mieville builds great worlds with intricate themes with more enjoyable stories to boot than most "literary" writers
Charles Dickens - Great Expectations
I've never been a fan of the dix but i absolutely love this book
Philip K. Dick - Time out of Joint
I love stories of cold-war paranoia and thematically/intellectually a lot of what's written in this book on the nature of surveillance still holds true today
James Joyce - Dubliners
Read this for a class on Irish literature and it stuck with me forever. People forget Joyce was really good at the short stories too
Jorge Luis Borges - Ficciones
I always considered this guy 'your favorite author's favorite author'. Like that guy whose works have great literary merit and are read more by academics but still have casual appeal
other books I would put in my top ten
Don Delillo - Underworld
Gary Snyder - Mountains and Rivers Without End
Tommy Pinecone - Crying of Lot 49
Hunter S. Thompson - Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72
Haruki Murakami - South of the Border, West of the Sun
>>8215137
If you haven't encountered some form of The Odyssey before Ulysses, you're doing globalized modern society wrong.
>>8215159
of course I have, but that isn't what I'm asking.
Should I read that book before reading the other book.
>>8215161
If you know generally what Odysseus goes through, then no.
If you don't, then yes.
Reading The Odyssey cover to cover is not required.
>>8211154
Lots of numbers in those titles. Just something to ponder
>>8211826
>read like once a month to maintain the appearance that i'm not a giant fat fucking idiot
I read every day and I'm still a fat fucking idiot.
>>8214122

7. Siddhartha (Herman Hesse)
8. Hell's Angels (Hunter S Thompson)
9. Metamorphosis (Kafka)
10. The Autobiography of Malcolm X
>>8214761
You don't know what you're talking about. My taste, particularly for the Russians, developed wholly outside of 4chan. In all honesty, those aren't my top 10 books because I don't have a top 10 because I'm not retarded. I just wanted to post in this thread and those were the first ones that came to mind. Those books are favorites of mine, but truthfully BK is the only one I regularly attribute as a favorite or "list-topper".

>read some women
Women are only good at YA fiction and children's novels, and even then they're not very good at it. Why? Because most women are essentially children and the overwhelming majority only pursue interests in a casual manner solely to attract a mate. Except my gf of course, she's different.

Illuminations - Arthur Rimbaud

Willa Cather.
been down so long it looks like up to me - Richard Farina
Ulysses - Joyce
My Antonia - Cather
The Soft Machine - Burroughs
Dharma Bums - Kerouac
Sometimes A Great Notion - Kesey
The Glass Key - Hammett
The Bell Jar - Plath
The Revelation of Dr Modesto - Harrington
Old man and the sea - Hemingway
Not in any specific order:
1. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
I was a sophomore reading this upon my boyfriend's recommendation. I struggled with depression, Plath got me. I got Plath. It was 10x more depressing to read this goddamn book but I loved every bit of it.
2. Invisible Monsters, Chuck Palahniuk
I knew this really edgy girl that read it so I decided to read it on a whim and I really enjoyed it because it was super fucked up and had way too many plot twists.
3. A farewell to arms, Earnest Hemmingway
Sad. Just terribly sad. Awful ending. 10/10.
4. Not That Kind of Girl, Lena Dunham
I don't know if it counts because it's a memoir, but it really is a work of art. When I read it I was in high school experimenting with my sexuality and discovering womanhood and the book was really helpful as far as explaining how the culture we live in today ~is~
5. Pet Semetary, Stephen King
I wasn't shaking with fear while I read this or anything... But I was engrossed and that was good enough for me. More of a thriller if you ask me, but still pretty good.
6. Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck
I laughed so hard every time Lenny did something stupid. I'm the worst person ever.
7. Brave New World, Aldous Huxley
I mainly like this one because of the ending. I loved John the Savage and I think his words of yearning to just be a human were the most romantic and poetic words I've ever read.
8. The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Firzgerald
In eleventh grade when I was in regular English, among a bunch of imbicles, I was the smartest kid in my class-- easily. We had to analyze the book and my teacher and I bonded over my thoughts and commentary and it was like we had our own special book club in the middle of all the wreckage that class had to offer.. Brings back good memories.
9. To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
Growing up with a prejudice father, it was difficult to unlearn the way I was raised to think. This book began a series of questions in my mind and understanding and thinking differently. It also started my love for literature.
10. The Wolves of Willoghby Chase, Joan Aiken
No commentary for this one.

He proposes a whole phylogeny for them that is radically incorrect and states incorrectly that the sperm whale is the largest whale. I wouldn't be bothered except that he practically sneers at the readers lack of knowledge regarding whales while he is spouting this incorrect information.
