>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 21:24:13 2011 No.1744287 Read all of Balzac's La Comédie Humaine as if it was one long novel.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 21:25:13 2011 No.1744290 I'm not even fucking joking. Just do it before some faggot recommends Ulysses.

MOBY DICK (BUT DIDN'T ENJOY THAT ONE)
THE GRAPES OF WRATH (SEE ABOVE)
IN THE FIRST CIRCLE
THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO BOOKS I&II (NON-FIC BUT READS SOMEWHAT LIKE A NOVEL)
CANCER WARD
THE GOOD SOLDIER SVEJK

THAT'S ENOUGH FROM ME.

Forgot a short description for you, OP.

2666-
Search for a reclusive author involving lovestruck European professors, reporters, unlucky mexican girls and a short history of one man's experience during WWI in the German army.

Ada or Ardor-
Sex, sex, sex, manipulation, incest, manipulation, sex, teaching, travelling, incest, manipulation incest. Those of you that complain about pedo's in Lolita don't know the rule: vice is nice but incest is best.

>>	Papabear !!v2jTMFBxqOl Tue May 3 22:18:13 2011 No.1744449 >>1744290 Ulysses is not a tough read at all. I'm sorry that you can't understand simple English.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 22:20:13 2011 No.1744457 >>1744419 FORGOT THAT ONE. CHEERS ANON.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 22:20:13 2011 No.1744455 Read Don Quixote if you haven't already. It's long but extremely enjoyable. It doesn't feel like a chore to read. I read the Smollett translation.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 22:22:13 2011 No.1744462 The Tin Drum is not really really long but it is awesome, plus if you add Cat and Mouse and Dog Years you have a long trilogy, which is good enough, I think.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 22:25:13 2011 No.1744468 >>1744462 'There once was a musician; his name was Meyn and he played the trumpet too beautifully for words' mfw I have no face for such beauty.

>>	satan !OW9DVqIqy6 Tue May 3 22:26:13 2011 No.1744469 1000 years of Solitude

>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 22:27:13 2011 No.1744473 >>1744469 >1000 years of Solitude That'd be like reading 100 Years of Solitude 10 times, right?

>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 22:28:13 2011 No.1744474 >>1744469 You are now in magical realism recommendation corner. Ummm, Midnight's Children.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 22:28:13 2011 No.1744477 The Magic Mountain By: Thomas Mann Description: Seven years inside a sanatorium.

>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 22:28:13 2011 No.1744478 i like the part where grapes of wrath has been mentioned and east of eden hasn't wait did i say "like"? i meant "what the fuck"

>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 22:59:13 2011 No.1744580 Read Anathem. It's by Neil Stephenson, it's filled with great puzzles, got a really interesting premise (Jesus came to earth spreading science instead of mystical Mumbo Jumbo,) and the setting is two thousand years after the atomic war of 500 AD

>>	Anonymous Tue May 3 23:04:13 2011 No.1744585 re-recommending 2666 and Ada. Suggesting David Copperfield and Titus Groan.
