Memoirs of Hadrian and any major Yourcenar work.
Woolf's essays are also pretty underrated.

>>14024446
Isn't Woolf one of the most famous female authors? I can't really name a lot of others to be honest, but maybe it's just because of the "scene" I grew up in and art hoes mentioned her so fucking often.

>>14024440
Female authors I enjoy,
Virginia Woolf
Iris Murdoch
Shirley Jackson
Muriel Spark
Margaret Atwood

>>14024440
George Eliot my friend.

>>14024471
Ues, I only mentioned authors I've read and/or that have been recommended by very well read friends.
Woolf is one of the most famous writers in either gender but her essays are often overlooked compared to her novels.

>>14024491
Ah, sorry. Didn't make the distinction between essays and novels. Been rewatching Mr Robot for the past fourteen hours so my mind is somewhere else apparently.

Mate, you enjoy the last few seasons? I've watched everything so far, but I've only really enjoyed season 1. Felt to me like s1 is the only season with focus and outright pathos. Still get chills thinking about the 'i just wanted to save the world' line

Woolf and Eliot general ?

>>14024494
You should try them, Woolf was a very intelligent essayist and her observations seem relecant to this day. Start with letters to a young poet or What strikes a contemporary.
Just remembered I've been massively recommended Duras by people with a reliable taste.

For fans of Büchner and Michaux.

I've only originally seen the first two seasons and some of the third so anything beyond that is new to me. I love S1 a lot because of the focus on the hacking shit, but Esmail had said many times that the build-up and 5/9 was just the intro to the main story so I don't mind that it's trailed off since then. I would say that the first two or three episodes of S2 are really unfocused, but I guess you could just pin it on Elliot's mental stability at that time being beyond annihilated. The WhiteRose/Dark Army stuff is definitely less interesting to me, but I have to admit I really think Phillip Price at E-Corp is one of the best characters, so I like seeing where his arc is going, and the crossover with Angela's storyline (even though her character isn't great).

>>14024518
I've actually been recommended A Letter to a Young Poet before, so I'll check it out. Thanks anon.

Imagine polluting your mind by engaging with something a w*man thought up.

Aphra Behn was exceptionally good

This book is so good that niggers who misunderstood it entirely have come to hate it.

This place is slowly turning me into a coomer. I came here for books, but it's all about thot posting. Jesus Christ.

You don't have to misunderstood it to hate it. The message seems to be 'not all niggers are dangerous and violent retards, some are obedient and gentle retards'

Emily Brontë. Wuthering Heights is a beautifully gloomy depiction of a British landscape. The book is a such a good study in destructive relationships that toxic people unironically mistake it for a romantic story. The only book (that I have read) that come close in this aspect is Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy which seem to lack the same spirit.

Welp, can't argue with this.

This, Müller is pretty based. Continental Europe has so many more talented female authors than the UK, where everything written by women is literally middle-class/petit bourgeois musings on domestic issues or relationships - that or it's something about immigration, which is worn down to the quick as a literary topic.
I rate 'The Fox Was Ever the Hunter' by Müller as well.
