Ok in response to

>>1585317

Theres a new book club.

Suggestions?

PS Try and avoid suggesting the same 5 books everyones already read. The point is that we read something new.

>> No.1585732

The Vivisector by Patrick White. Some anon mentioned it in a thread of 'books you never see mentioned on /lit/' and I looked into it and ordered it off Amazon.

So good. So, so good.

Id also like to point out that the book being piratable, while not being a requirement, is a big bonus to it being picked.

Also, nonfiction is welcome too.

some novellas / shortish novels on my kindle:

invisible cities - calvino
turn of the screw - henry james
memories of my melancholy whores - marquez
Almost Transparent Blue - ryu murakami
breakfast at tiffany's - truman capote
woman in the dunes - kobo abe
too loud a solitude - bohumil hrabal
child of god - cormac mccarthy
the horla - guy de maupassant

A lot of these I found on the /lit/ wiki but at least they're not Catch-22 / Brave New World. I should probably narrow down my choices more but I have so much I wanna read.
