/lit/ - Literature

Catcher in the Rye

Bring another book in case you finish.

Try some Dickens, maybe. Maybe War and Peace. I think that'd get pretty boring reading it straight through. The complete Sherlock Holmes is pretty thick and it's highly entertaining. Henry Fielding's Tom Jones is a sizable book and also pretty light-hearted. That's all I can think of right now.

Thank you for the chicken. I suggest bringing two at least two books. That way you can add some variety to your reading if you get bored.

Thomas Mann - The Magic Mountain
Joseph Heller - Catch 22

Get the fuck off /lit/ and never come back and kill yourself and fuck you.

The Great Gatsby, For whom the bell tolls.
Great books, but nothing too heavy

left hand of darkness
maybe some austen
oscar wilde - any collection of his plays

I would suggest an anthology of a great writer whom is widely considered great. I have a large one sitting right here of Nabokov on my book-shelf titled "The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov." Too bad we are not friends IRL because, in that case, you could borrow it from me.

I WAS THINKING OF EITHER RE-READING THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING (AND THEN LATER FINISHING SERIES), BUT I WAS WORRIED THAT THE START MIGHT DRAG ON A BIT TOO MUCH

THEN I THOUGHT OF READING SOME MORE 'RUSSIAN LIT'.

I REALLY DON'T KNOW.

THANKS FOR THE INPUT, KEEP IT UP!

1200 pages of stuff you never knew about the middle east

OH YEAH, FORGOT TO NOTE.

I WILL BE BRINGING MY KINDLE, SO MOST BOOKS I COULD JUST PUT ON IT.

BUT, I WAS THINKING OF BRINGING A PHYSICAL COPY OR THE IDIOT, OR THE KARAMAZOV BROTHERS.

OF THE IDIOT*

SORRY GUYS, GOT THIS KILLER HEADACHE TONIGHT.

I NORMALLY DON'T DO THIS, BUT MY CAPTCHA: MANAGE FAILMY

I DID FAIL, THANKS CAPTCHA :(

What the fuck are you talking about? Lots of people read plays. Are you suggesting you wait until it's playing?

I really hope that was a joke. I spat out my drink in laughter. Had to get a towel to clean it up but it was worth it.

Cormac McCarthy. Easy to follow, but deep and puurrrty writing. Pick any of his, they are all great. Along the lines of Hemingway, but more contemporary.

u mad lulz

Timeless classic for you right here.

How about a collection of Chekov short stories. Won't get too bored and they are short stories, so you don't have to get too into it.

The Long Goodbye? People might not say it's a classic in the Dickens sense, but they've never gone down those mean streets while not being themselves mean, while being neither tarnished nor afraid.

what are the typefaces used to make this?

>>1261666
I don't have the template's typefaces in Photoshop, so I use Tahoma and Times New Roman in italic.
