Brothers K
The Prince
No Longer Human

i'm in the last quarter of Brothers K but i'm taking a break to read Thomas Paine's works.

So I would say 2 or 3 depending on how lengthy they are.

What about The Talisman by King and Straub?

I liked that one.

Pretty new to Japanese /lit/.

Any recommendations on Japanese lit? I really enjoyed No Longer Human and I was thinking about looking into Soseki.

INTJ
The Count Of Monte Cristo
Dostoyevsky

Almost done with Brothers K what would /lit/ suggest I read next?

Dune
Song Of Roland
Kafka Complete Short Stories
Gilgamesh
Infinite Jest
Sound & The Fury
World War Z
Sophocle's The Complete Plays
Albert Camus omnibus
Leviathan
Thomas Paine's complete works
Don't really fancy reading anything too heavy since i'm almost done with Brothers K and I will probably just put IF on hold until later in the summer.

Our generation is the worst.

The Prince is pretty cool. Should only take you an hour or so at the most to read.

I suggest Marx's manifesto and The Last Days Of Socrates.

>>2636166

It's about a young girl who finds a cat. It's named The Familiar and you can work it out on your own on what familiars are associated with.

Would be a nice way to troll the fans.

And I thought it was pretty hilarious I saw ASOIAF in the children's section in my local Waterstones one time.

Brace yourself.

Dance is just as shitty,but it had POVs I actually cared about.

Johnny Truant parts were boring in HOL.

i'm interested in his new series though. I can't be the only one who thinks it sounds a little bit like Madoka?

>Calling HOTD Dostoyevsky's worst book.

Not sure if troll or very stupid.

E-books.

Sherlock Holmes would probably be good.

Check out A Study in Scarlet.

Read The Republic or any Philosopher from the Romanticism era.

Current book: Brothers K
Pages I have left: I think its somewhere close to 300 or so

You could try the four great novels.

Speaking of those, what is the best translation of Journey to the West? I know there is a new edition comin out later this year that's supposed to be pretty good.

Because life is unfair my friend.

Sup lit.

I need two dictionaries. One for my hobby of learnin Japanese and I need a second one for Mandarin.

What's /lit/'s opinions on the Barrons series? Thinking about buying them since they're only £5.

Paradise Lost
Dune
Kafka's complete short stories
Song Of Roland
Infinite Jest
Camus omnibus
Thus Spoke Zarathustra
World War Z
Sound and the Fury
Leviathan
Thomas Paine's works

i'm on the fence about Infinite Jest. i'm almost done with Brothers K and I really don't want another doorstopper at the moment. I think I will save that for fall.

The Brothers Karamazov.

2/3rds of the way in it. Almost done with Mitya's chapters.
