Just for personal value it's Sebald's The Rings Of Saturn.

>“I watched the shadow of our plane hastening below us across hedges and fences, rows of poplars and canals … Nowhere, however, was a single human being to be seen. No matter whether one is flying over Newfoundland or the sea of lights that stretches from Boston to Philadelphia after nightfall, over the Arabian deserts which gleam like mother-of-pearl, over the Ruhr or the city of Frankfurt, it is as though there were no people, only the things they have made and in which they are hiding. One sees the places where they live and the roads that link them, one sees the smoke rising from their houses and factories, one sees the vehicles in which they sit, but one sees not the people themselves. And yet they are present everywhere upon the face of the earth, extending their dominion by the hour, moving around the honeycombs of towering buildings and tied into networks of a complexity that goes far beyond the power of any one individual to imagine, from the thousands of hoists and winches that once worked the South African diamond mines to the floors of today's stock and commodity exchanges, through which the global tides of information flow without cease. If we view ourselves from a great height, it is frightening to realize how little we know about our species, our purpose and our end, I thought, as we crossed the coastline and flew out over the jelly-green sea.”

Check out the little Bernhard-esque last clause. I don't understand why Bernhard put those in, but Sebald is definitely referencing him. It's a nice little bow on the passage

Kind of a meme because it's been a "/lit/core book" forever and the board is on an atheist slant lately, but Brothers Karamazov by Dosto. Love the discussions, the characters, the scenes, and it's even sentimental for me: the brothers remind me of my siblings. Tale of Two Cities by Dickens and Monte Cristo rank high as well.

1. Idiot by Dostoevsky.
2. Love in the time of cholera by Marquez.
3. The sense of an ending by Julian Barns.
4. Invitation to a beheading by Vladimir Nabokov (I really recommend this one)

walden truly speaks to me in a primal way. it's like it was written for me. i've always been lost in the world, half of my mind is always on my environment. i'd rather be hike around a 40 pound pack and be constantly be bitten by bugs than suffer the indignity of a suburb.
