Vasily Grossman deserves mention in this tread as well.

What about the two books by Simon Sebag Montefiore?

Ah, okay. Have fun with it. It'll take you a while.

If you're going to read Desperation, by the way, you should also read The Regulators (which is its "companion" novel).

I haven't heard of Towles, Krasznahorkai, or Levin, but the rest seems cool.

Why the "(lolol)" after Gaddis, though? If anything, I'd expect that after King.

One thing that a teacher of mine pointed out which I thought was pretty neat was at the beginning of the book, Conrad uses the s-sound a lot so it sounds like the hissing of ocean. And he uses a lot of commas 'cuz they look like waves.

Great writer that I've never really gotten into. The quality of his writing is undeniable. But I've never read anything by him that just completely moved me or blew my mind. I find Shelley, Wordsworth, and Byron much more compelling.

A Midsummer Night's Dream

I like him. He's written good articles for The New Yorker on Charles Bukowski, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats (unless I'm confusing him with someone else).

I've always been intrigued by those books? Would they make sense to someone who doesn't actually know how to play the game? [Also, is there an order in which they're meant to be read? I've never quite understood that either, so I don't know where to start with 'em.]

I love Kafka. Despite the nature of your post, I'll heartily thank you for showing me a picture of Kafka in that hat. I smiled.

I ordered this last night, OP. I suggest you do too.

I don't want to ask you anything. From what I know about you, you are an utterly uninteresting person. It would make sense - and just be kinda nice - if you got the fuck off of a board devoted to literature (or nicer, still, if you actually read something).

Yoda was just trying to make his English more like Latin, man.

I saw the cover of a movie (I don't recognize movie-covers - just book covers) and I misread/misinterpreted On the Road as The Road.
