>>18756319
seems like reddit tier self-improover garbarge list. Yeah they're good but have you honestly read all of these with proper care? Have you read all of "Shakespeare the book"? I might be the retard here are you might just be a God-tier Greek/Latin/Italian/English/German scholar, but seeing these works pop up again on a board populated by 13-year-olds makes me roll my eyes. I've read some of these, but for instance the Iliad, DC and Faust are still too high level for me to understand, need more study
>yes I'm 23 and therefore slowly growing out of retardation

>>18768391
The Iliad was an oral story told to and by malnourished peasants anon.

>>18756691
>I'm not sure I understand this pic but it is getting me mad anyway
You shouldn't be getting mad, anon. OP's image is showing a progression of stages in a typical anon's life.

First you have full immaturity and addition to pop culture (movie posters, comic books, bobble heads), social media (facebook on the computer, doomscrolling on the phone even when in bed), and gaming (steam on the computer), all with a bunch of trash consooming. It's not a happy place, but it's a place many of us have probably been to in one state or another.

In the second image, the anon has cleaned up his room and stopped consuming pop culture, but has replaced that with media that convinces him he is so much better than the typical person, and he has a smug sense of superiority (typical reddit stuff like Dawkins on the bed, BEE/They Live posters on the wall that are crossing the 4chan/reddit barrier, etc). Less consumption of pop culture, but still some mindless consumption of supplements and exercise equipment. It's better than the shit the anon had been through, but it's still not ultimately a happy place.

Then in the third image, you have more improvement. The pop culture stuff to signal how the anon feels about the world is gone, and his window is open. The exercise equipment that he had bought is gone, and instead he has a water bottle for his runs to keep healthy. His literature has improved (Nietzsche is still a bit reddit tier, but it's far better than Dawkins; Schopenauer and the Bible suggest that the anon is moving into a more mature frame of mind as well). The anon has almost even entered into a pseudo-minimalist phase, but we finally see nature beginning to make a positive presence in his life. That said, he still wants to show off for others and get their approval, hence him working on an image of his space for a 'spaces/battlestation' thread.

And finally, in the fourth image, we arrive at contentment. Any cringe books are gone, the only one that remains is one that the anon is actually reading (it is open). Nice plants have been brought into the room and maintained/watered. Anon either has gotten a qt gf, or is now remembering a close family member. And the anon has finally left his room and gone outside to engage with the world. He's taken up gardening, which suggests that he now understands the cycle of life that we go through. He is engaged with the world and living healthy, doing the things that we know bring contentment and fulfillment because they have for thousands of years. And he isn't doing this just for show; he is doing it for himself.

It's a wonderful sequence. I hope that we can all move through something similar, or at least end up in such an ideal state.

>>18763676
I hope you do anon. Remains is a perfect short novel. And it is better than Klara (though I did think that Klara was quite good).

Based Ligotti - what struck you in Teatro, over the rest of his?

>>18756677
Sure, why not. My list of heavy on Americans (though not exclusively them) as I am an American.

"Remains" is a wonderful book, my personal favorite. Funny and tragic, and really a perfect short novel. The ending where Stevens has an epiphany and then immediately represses it hit me very hard, and I left a job over it after seeing so much of myself in the book.

Whitman and Penn Warren are wonderful poets; as an American, Whitman is part and parcel of my culture, and Song of the Open Road is wonderful and terrifying in its underlying acknowledgment of our impermanence and mortality. Penn Warren speaks to related concerns and about how things are connected and disjointed all at once (the poem 'I Am Dreaming of a White Christmas' in that collection is amazing).

Houllebecq is I think the only contemporary writer that really gets the id of the times and the consequences of our 'liberated' society, and Atomised tells its story beautifully and painfully and accurately.

About Cervantes and Melville, I have little to add that you probably don't already know. Beautiful and complete and foundational works of literature.

For my money, Faulkner's Absalom is his best work and one of the single greatest works of post-bellum literature. It's America in a book and its synthesis of generational struggle and legacies and their ongoing import is the closet an American author has come to adapting the basic model of Greek tragedy to American concerns, and Faulkner does it in such a strikingly modern way.

O'Connor and McPherson are there for their short stories, which are wonderful. For O'Connor, there are so many, for McPherson I'm mostly including him for "Gold Coast" which is beautiful and sad and hopeful and human.

Plutarch is kind of a stand in for ancient history and philosophy in general, but the didactic lessons of the parallel lives are always good to mull over, and the anecdotes he includes are often charming.

>>18770872
How about a rundown on Greene, no one really talks about him and I have come across his name for years but know nothing about him/his work.

Didn't want to repeat authors but you could put basically any Cormac McCarthy or Guy Gavriel Kay on there. I also love the original Robert E Howard Conan stories but those are all short stories.

Beyond writing fiction, was a very well travelled journalist. Also worked for MI6 during the Second World War. Such things show in his books (it seems to me). Many of them have something to do with cold-war espionage and decolonization. Often set in third-world countries. Very English. Very much of his time, and in that I think he’s a good companion to someone like Jean Lartéguy (*The Centurions/Praetorians* and *The Quiet American* are of similar subject), albeit Lartéguys treatment is more """right-wing""" when he venerates the French paratroopers in Algeria and Vietnam (I don't find Greene’s writing overtly """left-wing""" but his communist sympathies are fairly public and can possibly be inferred from some of his books). *The Quiet American* is probably his most well known book, best I’ve read about Vietnam. A lot of protagonist angst. Often simple, sometimes not style. Good narration.

Also worth noting that Greene was a devout Catholic (about *The Heart of the Matter*, Christopher Hitchens wrote: “A ruined Irishman expiring among the empty flagons and exhaling an Ave Maria would be sympathetic. But a righteous, continent Huguenot, never.”) If you like “English” writers and are interested in the politics of the mid-twentieth century he’s worth checking out. Others of his are The Comedians, Getting to Know the General, and Dr. Fischer of Geneva.

I've seen this far more often on lists of highly regarded books on here, as a Middle-Easterner this has interested me very much. What has drawn you lot to this book recently? Have I just not noticed it until now?

>>18776205
Not him, but it's a very interesting book, and really pretty close to singular. Part travelogue, part history of Bedouin tribes, part organized military campaign, part guerilla campaign, part desert poetry, part autobiography of a very complicated man. And for the most part Lawrence's prose is very good and often beautiful. Being able to read actual literature that has literary merit written by someone like Lawrence who lived through the things he writes about is a treat. He remains English while being remarkably sympathetic to the Arabs. Definitely worth a read.
