I feel like you either a) bought some of these books specifically to troll /lit/pol/ or you stole this image from somewhere else.

If you are 100% genuine, I literally see nobody ever talk about The Joy Luck Club. Is it good? What did you like about it?

>Mothers boast or despair over daughters, and daughters roll their eyes even as they feel the inextricable tightening of their matriarchal ties.

These types of books always make me cry, and I'm a rugged North-Canadian!

Republic. The most knotty, can be read from the most angles, the densest. It bears repeated reading.

Having trouble between the Faulkner, Hardy, Conrad, and Hamlet.

Billy Budd is up there too, so is the Aeneid even for AP Latin nostalgia.

I've heard very similar in podcasts/youtube stuff by academics. Even if they don't like it a lot they all pick it as a desert island book as they get more out of it each time they read it.

You can even read it like just a speculative fiction, with it's weird interludes between characters.
