>1984 has become the pulp fiction of the literary world

But Pulp Fiction is a boring, stylized movie of flowery dialogue while 1984 is a classic piece of literature whose message is still felt to this day.

The Sirens of Titan might be the most disappointing book I've ever read. I almost couldn't finish it when I was fourteen and a little Vonnegut fan boy baby faggot retard.

And I don't know what people should read. A lot of it comes down to what culture you grow up on. I doubt many people in this thread have read what would be on any Indians recommended reading pile. With that said I'll throw out;

The Bible
The Lao Tzu
Tha Bhagavad-Gita
The Diary of Anne Frank (in your young adolescence preferably)
The Catcher in the Rye (in your young adolescence preferably)
The Brothers Karamazov

If your favourite literary work is The Great Gatsby then I can only assume that you are either not very well read, or boring and oafish.

Tortilla Flat and Of Mice and Men are God tier. The Grapes of Wrath, Cannery Row and The Tales of King Arthur are mediocre tier.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - A Documentary Record

I'm enjoying it so far. I finished about half of it last night. It's a sort of auto biography, but not really. It contains reader criticism and comments of his works when they were first published in Russia and the West.

Trying to think of a word for this thread and I ended up saying a few words a bunch of times and as a result they sound dumb to me.
