/lit/ - Literature

I need a book to last me the semester, for reading between classes. How dense is Don Quixote?

Last three:
The Conformist by Alberto Moravia
The Postman Always Rings Twice by James M. Cain
The Grass Harp by Truman Capote

Currently:
The Man Who Watched Trains Go By by Simenon
Translations from The French (this is a really good anthology, I recommend it highly, here's a link for my fellow anons

Next three:
Crime and Punishment by Dosteoyevsky
The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller

How does /lit/ deal with uncertainty?
I personally go hiking to a scenic overlook and spend a good five minutes sitting in silence.
