/lit/ - Literature

You should probably add back in some of the ones from the other chart - Snow Country, Thousand Cranes, A Pale View of Hill, The Key, The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea, etc. Unless this is meant as an addition and not a replacement.

Don't put your name on the content you make. It defeats the whole purpose of 4chan.

>>1063547
Yeah, I guess I will add those. Still, anymore? I wanted to get 100.

>>1063583
Well, I can find the others you skipped over.

Botchan by Natsume Soseki
The Time Machine by HG Wells
Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami

and probably some more, but those are the ones I notice most.

Here is what I got now.

>>1063703
>>1063703
You didn't add most of these: >>1063589

Or Pale View of Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro and The Key by Junichiro Tanizaki.

>>1063754
BUMP, FOR GOOD CAUSE.

For reference, here's the other novella guide.

>>1064209

got updated a while ago

We need a horror/mystery chart.

How about Anthem?

>>1064245
I'M OKAY WITH THIS.

Some Ayn Rand novellas?

>>1064284
See
>>1064249
>>1064245

Aren't many of these novellas actually just long(er) short stories?

I think we had this debate with the other list over what exactly constituted a "novella".

i think you're missing shoplifting from american apparel

>>1063754
All of those are on there except Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel Garcia Marquez because he already has 2 novellas on there. Pale View of Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro is on there too. You are probably missing them because there is so many and don't have the same cover as the other chart. I will add The Key by Junichiro Tanizaki.

>>1064245
I'm am not a dogmatic Ayn Rand hater like some people on /lit/. I don't specifically even hate her philosophy. I have only read one of her works, and it was awful, and that was Anthem. The book was a poorly written We rip-off. So I am withholding it from the list.

>>1064303
All of the items on the list have been printed as stand alone works. It is vague what is a novella and what is a short story/novel.

>>1064914
Sorry, sorry. There's kind of a lot there to look at. Maybe you should add the title underneath like in the other guide? Some covers are difficult to read.

>>1064914
Oh, also I wanted to say that it is looking pretty great so far! And I bet capsguy is going to be pleased.

>>1064928
Good point, man that is going to be work.

pleas recomend novels.
i love animal farm and 451 farenheit

There, 100 novellas.

Was that really necessary? Is Tao Lin that bad?

>>1065390

Yes and yes.

>>1065214
Looks great man. You going to put it up on the recommended reading wiki?

Bump for a little bit more help.

Add all good novellas, not just a few :)

What about a clockwork orange, would we count that?

Or I am Legend?

>>1065733
>What about a clockwork orange, would we count that?

It's on there.

on a semi-related note which should i read first out of cats cradle or slaughterhouse 5? probably wont make a difference but i thought it might be worth asking just in case.

also i know this isnt the point of the thread but it didnt seem worth making a new one.

>>1063522
>Doesn't know the difference between a novel and a novella...

wtfamireading

>>1065772
So tell me, which are which on that list? It's not like there is some rigid definition of novella.

>>1065766
Just read Cat's Cradle today; 'twas my introduction to Vonnegut.

Amazing. Fucking. Book. Haven't read anything else by him, but I thoroughly enjoyed CC, so definitely check it out. I've heard great things about Slaughterhouse Five, however.
