Beckett

Beckett is the only good one

oscar wilde is pretty damn good/cool. im reading the portrait of dorian grey atm

>>7853242
yes, that's certainly his best novel...

>>7853219
Start with Swann's Way. His prose can be a bit dense at first but approach it as you would a piece of poetry, nice and slow. It'll be well worth the effort. The rest of In Search of Lost Time is just as fantastic.

>>7853103
I read Myth of Sisyphus last week. It was very good, and really fun to read. I haven't smoked weed in a long time, but right after I bought the book I had a date and smoked with the girl.
When she dropped me off at my place I started reading when I was still high. I've never gotten so much out of single sentences in my life.

Kafka is really good too. I recently bought the complete collections of short stories, which I am working my way through.

>>7853317
the guy who sells me books at uni recommended swann's way because he said in search of lost time was really a series that i needed to read in order. he told me how when he was my age he tried reading swann's way first and most of the humor went over his head but he did it start to finish years ago and really got a lot more out of it?

so anyway b/c /fa/ and being broke i've never gotten around to buying the complete series but thanks for reminding me. he warned me about denseness and said to take it slow too.

>>7853230
im not that far into stirner to get the jokes, im only reading it b/c i was told it overlaps A LOT w/ nietzsche and i was just curious

yes beckett is great tho

>>7853362
> most of the humor went over his head
this this this
what most people don't realize is that what makes in search of lost time such an enjoyable read is the opposition between the narrators wisdom as an adult and the cringeworthy behavior of his younger self. which is very relatable for the young posers that dwell on 4chan

>>7853334

kafka short ficition is a lot better than his novels imo his style becomes far too stifling and claustrophobic read in long form for me if you get a change pick up a copy of kafkas journals they are ...otherwordly and desperate like he was writing on his deathbed 24/7 apathetic and fairytale like

>>7853054
>>7853063
>>7853073

Pynchon my favourite
Reading Nietzsche's old stuff atm

Kafka, Hesse, Pynchon, DFW and Salinger are my favorites, havent really started with philosophy yet.

how the fuck have camus/kafka/nietzsche all been mentioned more than once but no one reads sartre

you're all fucking philistines and casuals

fuccboi pls

>>7853045
Currently reading Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.
It's bretty gud.

>>7853520
yeah it's a well fun book
i dunno why all the publications of it have really shit covers tho lol

both parents are history teachers/professors so i was born to world where history is the most important thing.

>>7853045
Trying 2 finish The Lorax

>>7853523
Yeah, true. That's the one I got. Kind of embarrasing to read it in public lol.

>>7853532
no joke i just remembered that one and it's actually sick
that's the one i read for the first time
it's 60s corgi iirc which always have good covers like this kurt one

but all ones i see in shops now for catch 22 are rank

>>7853520
yeah, i like i too. very, very funny with a decent moral message

>>7853362
>>7853392
I actually started with In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower because I didn't know Swann's Way was the first book. Looking back, I'd almost recommend it that way, especially if you are just delving into Proust.

I'm currently about two thirds of the way through the Kristin Lavransdatter trilogy. It's excellent and gives an insight into a place and time I have always wanted to know more about.

>>7853517
>Fisher Price's Existentialism: Babby's First Philosophy
i lol'd

Putain comment vous arrivez a honnetement apprecier tout ces putaind oeuvres genre Proust tsais? Putain jvous jures, Flaubert et tout ces suceuses, ca mfout le seum comme c pas croyable.

i like murakami

Currently working on Ullyses, I'm about halfway. I went in with the wrong mindset, trying to uncover a plot etc.
Now I just read it for the beauty of language and the humor in it and it's much easier to get through than most people suggest.

>>7853760
you should read the new bloomsday book at the same time it really helps

>>7853431
yeah pynchon's great

just finished reading Invisible Man, that was pretty damn good

now i have to read a load of stuff about central park, which isnt gonna be as exciting

>>7853045
when i was younger i was really into greek mythology and shit.
trying to read actual translations now, but it's kind of tedious.

>>7853792
Ehh, I kinda wanted to experience it without any guides. I might do it on a second readtrough.

>>7853864
I promise it's better
there are so many references that you wouldn't get unless you lived in early 20th century Dublin

>>7853886
Even as a historian?
You sparked my curiousity either way, I'm going to try it.

i like haruki murakami

inb4 >>/tumblr/ from ppl that have never read any of his books

>>7853943
>>/tumblr/

I read Kafka on the shore

>>7854100
>>7853943
dance dance dance > norwegian wood > kafka on the shore = blind willow, sleeping woman (short story collection) > wild sheep chase

just started wind up bird chronicle, enjoying so far. dance dance dance is still one of my favourite books ever though.

norwegian wood film is surprisingly good, obviously skimps on a lot of detail that makes murakami enjoyable and overlooks the humour mostly to make way for the colossal sadness. harder to get across subtle humour in a film than a book

Now that I think of it, I only read self-help books lol.

Spring heeled jack by Mark Hodder (Surrealism, steampunk, fantasy, humor).

Still unbeaten second favorite Lord Of the Rings!

>Miss Lonelyhearts by Nathaniel West is excellent while stoned

might sounds a bit stupid but i pretty much only read classics, but i tend to like them, plus some entry level phil. thus far I'd say dostoyevsky is my favourite author.

>>7853943
reading after dark atm, its really good compared to 1Q84 imo, might try some wind up bird when im finished.

Currently reading The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut.

It's O.K. so far.

yukio mishima

Just finished A Clockwork Orange, I don't really read much but I enjoyed it.

>>7854329
Tender is the Night is brilliant, I liked it even more than Gatsby.

I tried reading that but it had some kind of weird slang or dialect? I tried guessing it for like a chapter then just gave up. Does it get better as you go?

>>7854307
idunno man, murakami is a bestseller in my country, most people seem to like his writing.

>>7854487
Yeah it's the teenage slang. Depends what you mean by better the slang stays throughout the book but you get used to it and it's a pretty good read I think.
