/lit/ - Literature

Post your backlogs, tell each other what to read and what to avoid, and just generally be extremely autistic and have a great time. Mine:

Patti Smith - Just Kids
Lauren Groff - Fates and Furies
Joseph McElroy - Cannonball
Neal Stephenson - Snow Crash
Elena Ferrante - My Brilliant Friend
Carrie Brownstein - Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl
Malcolm Lowry - Under the Volcano
Salman Rushdie - Shalimar the Clown

Post your backlog, tell others what they should read or should avoid, and just generally be extremely autistic and have a great time. Here's mine:

Lem - Solaris
Morrison - Beloved
Villoro - The Guilty
McCarthy - Cannonball
Smith - Just Kids
Stephenson - Snow Crash
Lowry - Under the Volcano
Clarke - Rendezvous with Rama

Everyone post your backlog of books, tell other people what to read next and what sucks, and just generally be extremely autistic about everything.

Jonathan Franzen - The Corrections
Ray Bradbury - The Martian Chronicles
Strugatsky Brothers - The Dead Mountaineer's Inn
Thomas Pynchon - Vineland
Kim Stanley Robinson - 2312
Ralph Ellison - Invisible Man
Junot Diaz - The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
Fyodor Dostoevsky - The Brothers Karamazov
Vladimir Nabokov - Ada, or Ardor
John le Carre - Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Salman Rushdie - Shalimar the Clown
Patti Smith - Just Kids
Neal Stephenson - Snow Crash
Ernest Hemingway - The Sun Also Rises

my favorite work of art is the collaborative canvas of the /lit/ board on 4chan

It's a page-turning gimmicky mystery that you have to piece together (it's not too hard though) that seemingly by accident has some of the greatest prose ever written and does a better job than anything ever written of exploring the question of meaning in life and art.

Vladimir Nabokov - Pale Fire
Saul Bellow - Henderson the Rain King
Jennifer Egan - A Visit from the Goon Squad
Ursula Le Guin - The Dispossessed
