The Man Without Qualities
The Magic Mountain
Auto da Fe

Going to read the hobbit in Latin, feel like i know enough now to give it a try. Also harry potter and then some caesar, cicero, and ovid if all goes well.

I'm going to read the Bible and history books

I'm going to power through a German edition of the Nibelungenlied.
If I have a lot of time, I might give the Tale of Genji a go. Or Three Kingdoms. Don't know.

Reading paradise lost atm
Thought about getting into Shakespeare for the first time since high school. I’m starting to get a new found appreciation for him.
Otherwise might read Cioran in French or Remembrance of things past. Maybe some Kafka or Goethe and hopefully will get myself motivated to read war and peace finally.

>the hobbit in Latin
Of course that's a thing.

Herodotus's History and a bunch of haiku collections. Maybe some Quiroga too.

>>13132138
Infinite Jest

>>13132138
Im going to read two books by evola about sex and tantra, some texts by linkola and sun and steel (and if i got the time, finally ted's manifesto and also the accelerate manifesto)

-Crime and punishment
-Ride the tiger
-Imperium
-For my legionnares
-Mein Kampf
>>13132464
I just finished the Unabomber manifesto, its very short, but also very good.

Probably some classic adventure stories like treasure island. I’m on a bit of a kick of simple, comfy movies (latest being the dark crystal) and now I want more

The Conspiracy Against the Human Race

>>13132138
i hate summer
i wish it was cold year round

>>13132283
The tale of genji is one of my favourite book, so I recommend it. It can be a bit hard, but if you're determined it should be ok.

I'm going to read Belle Du Seigneur in french along with some Nabokov I haven't read yet, probably Ada or Ardor. I'm also going to take a look at Les Bienveillantes or Les Deux Étendards also in french after that, but I'm kind of afraid about those two, one is long and the other very disturbing.

>>13132211
I met an Israeli aircraft pilot who was a prisoner of war in Egyt, and he wrote a translation of the Hobbit into Hebrew while imprisoned. It's still the main translation used in that country. Just a random cool story for you, fren

I'm finishing Tolstoy, Gogol, and Cicero and starting Chesterton.

No I just hate frogs. And Frenchman. But I repeat myself.

>>13132138
I've got 3 tomes lined up, ready for summer; this seems to have turned into a yearly thing for me: summer hits, and I decide to read big ol' fatties. Last year I buckled down and read GR and IJ; one of them I loved, the other left a weird aftertaste. Guess which, I dare you..
So, this summer: I'm tackling The Exegesis of PKD, Secret Teachings of All Ages- Manly P. Hall, and K-punk; collected writings of Mark Fisher. Why? Because Apollo willed it.

>>13132138
Boring ass text books because my parents want me in med school.
Fuck my life

I've got a massive to-read list, but the ones that I'll probably read over the summer are Moby Dick, Tristram Shandy, and the Innocents Abroad. Never read any of them, but what I've read in excerpts I really like.

Durant's Story of Civilization
or some buddhist lit

>>13132138
I am planning on finally getting through and enjoying the plays of Shakespeare.

>>13133880
Which ones are you planning on reading?

>>13132138
i bought 14,8 kg of libertarian literature to read and i am gonna read that probably

>>13133308
You loved IJ and GR left the weird aftertaste

>>13133891
Lover of lost causes eh?

Gonna read Perfume

>>13135100
Nope, IJ is the one that left me a bit unsatisfied. As time goes, it kinda grows on me, but I'd have to reread it to see how I feel. And, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

>>13132211
Unironically good taste.

i'm going to read a lot of the classics and a personal list i made

Going to try to build up my vocabulary and reading comprehension so I can delve into more non-fiction. Also interested in reading The border trilogy

Bar prep books. I have a box of 8 giant, thick, firm books of outlines, questions, and hopefully cyanide.

>>13132138
The new Testament as someone gave me a guide as how to do it in an approachable manner.

>>13133886
All the ones that I haven't read yet: Antony and Cleopatra, the comedies, a big chunk of the history plays and maybe the sonnets too.

Gravity’s Rainbow
War and Peace

>>13132138
American Psycho
The Stranger
Frankenstein

>>13135607
Pick one

>>13133788
Moby Dick is a great read. I hope you enjoy it anon, happy reading

>>13132138
I hope to read my way through the Russians (Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Gogol, Chekhov), some Renaissance work (anatomy of melancholy, writings of Sir Thomas Browne, smattering of Shakespeare), with a healthy dose of contemporary fiction and nonfiction. Hope I can get through it. Reading Yeats and a biography of Milton rn

planning to finish don quixote (100 pages in), infinite jest (150 pages in), and book of the new sun (finished books 1 and 2). But before I attempt any of those i need to read as i lay dying, whihc I am reading right now.

>>13132211
Is there any book like NGE? bonus points for high waifu potential

>>13132138
when does infinite summer start?

>>13132138
perhaps the complete works of Flannery O'Connor, or finally start reading some Victor Hugo

currently about a third of the way through Cryptonomicon by neal stephenson. the plot is hella convoluted and i only can dimly fathom how the hell he's gonna end it. Love the math stuff, wish there was more crypto shit. Anathem was great for the appendices. I just got to the part where Shaftoe and Waterhouse meet each other. They are each other's perfect comedic foil. All in all, a standard Stephenson read.

>>13132138
Ulysses

>>13132138
My own version of pic related

I’m gonna finish Infinite Jest with the gf and keep dissecting the big book of AA with my sponsor. Hoping to conquer meth and heroin addiction and have some laughs along the way. Anyone have any books they’d recommend to a previously agnostic 19 year old who’s now trying to develop a connection with a higher power? I was raised catholic and rejected that around 12 but I’m open to returning to the church. I think my conception of God will be something a little more general than some sort of Christian-Judeo he man but I wouldn’t have any problems with that either.

>>13136863
you can get through all of that in a summer?

>>13132138
Almost done gravity's rainbow anon, just got the last section to read. After this my plan was to read mason and dixon but I doubt my classes will give me the time to do that. Instead, I bought Pale Fire and Goodbye Columbus. That, in addition to the collection of Kafka's short stories and book 4 of Knausgaard's min kamp should keep me occupied for a bit.

In Search of Lost Time books 4,5, and 6
Bleak House + David Copperfield
The Magic Mountain
