Forever War

Vurt, Illuminatus! and I can't think of what the most recent other work I most enjoyed would be.

The inheritance cycle

Illuminati

Divergent

Player one ready

>>4818855
OK, remove Divergent. I forgot it was only 3 books.

Journey to the end of the night

>>4818834
You MIGHT like Starship Troopers. Also, Ubik.

>>4818862
Never read the first. Based on the other two, it seems that you like nonfiction. In that case, you might enjoy Methland (more serious) or The Disaster Artist (less so).

Mine:
A River Runs Through It by MacLean
Suttree by McCarthy
Deliverance by Dickey

>>4818832
The savage detectives - roberto bolaño
Grapes of wrath - Steinbeck

>>4818902
Read Cormac McCarthy if you haven't, Suttree, Blood Meridian, Sunset Limited are my personal favorites, but the trilogy is pretty good also.

Fathers and Sons
Shogun
Red Mars

>>4818855
The Giver

Catch-22

>>4818898
The Man Who Knew Infinity [Ramanujan]

>>4818898
"Problems from the book". I think that you might like Pascal's "Pensees" (especially first two paragraphs) and Russel's "Our Knowledge of the External World", too. Both have extremely clear style and it is very pleasant reading for the mathematically-sensitive person.

>mine:
Laszlo Krasznahorkai - "Melancholy of Resistance" (it's my favorite one but I've read almost any of his book)
Thomas Bernhard - "The Loser" (as above)
Yasunari Kawabata - The Master of Go
The above list may not be very relative; I'd be grateful for some recommendations of authors representing sharp and clear style. No gibberish and unnecessary sentimentality. It may be some collection of essays (or philosophical work - but nothing obscure with a lot of references needed to understand)

Glamorama (BEE)
Why nations fail (Semi Economy/History)

train dreams by denis johnson

>>4819003
should probably give reasons... otherwise these threads degenerate into people throwing arbitrary titles about.
Train Dreams has reminded me at times of marquez and had some explicit 'magical realists' parts. It also is an insightful observation of the development of modernity which is often takes form as critique a la steppenwolf.

its also a really good book (not sure what it would ahve in common with Norwegian Wood... I've never read it)

other Anon is right on the money with Tom Robbins (but Jitterbug Perfume > Still Life); you might also enjoy Schrödinger's Ball by Adam Felber

>>4819131

Cat and Mouse from the Danzig Trilogy was also quite enjoyable. Also shorter.

Have you read any Robertson Davies?

>>4821702

I have not read Jitterbug, perhaps I should!

I haven't read a book since high school.

>>4819154

If you enjoyed Stoner you may like The Book of Disquiet. Similar intelligent and melancholy introspection and critique, although completely different style.

>>4821957
I'm not widely read, but assuming a potentially bad recommendation is better than no recommendation, I'll give it a go.

It sounds like you're interested in stream-of-consciousness, so you might want to try out Faulkner (Absalom! Absalom!, The Sound and the Fury, and As I Lay Dying) or maybe another modernist like T. S. Eliot (The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock and The Wasteland), though he's a poet.

>>4821937

El túnel by Sabato
Bestiario by Cortázar
Dubliners by Joyce

>>4822131
I found the book about as tedious as actually dealing with beaurocrats is. It seemed to go in circles without getting anywhere - which is the whole point, of course, but it sure made for an agonising read.
I'm glad to have read it, though.

>>4822173
Piano Stories by Felisberto Hernandez

>>4822170

>>4822177
Fair enough. For me it was a virtue.

>>4821961
Okay, I'm already done with Urfaust, and I was very impressed by it:
Urfaust
Die leiden des jungen Werther
Ethics (Spinoza)

Also, is Faust better than Urfaust? (If not, I will nonetheless read it.)

Wittgenstein's mistress
Crime and punishment
Into the war

>>4822142
Brave new world, windup girl, neuromancer

>>4821699
By who? I get a lot of books by that name.

>>4822370
> Also, is Faust better than Urfaust? (If not, I will nonetheless read it.)
Faust 1 definitely better than Urfaust. Also, try to read Faust 2.

>>4822399
Don't read Neuromancer's sequels. They don't nearly compare.

>>4818940
What? No one?

>>4822457
Will do, thanks. I thought that the fragmentory character of Urfaust made it very compelling.

>>4822516
Zeno's Conscience by Italo Svevo. No prior knowledge of modern Austria necessary

>>4818837
I'm halfway through Scrödingers Cat - You will probably like it. Picks up on some of the themes from Illuminatus!.

Assuming Vurt is the only Jeff Noon book you read, go read the rest of the vurtology (Pollen, Nymphomation). His other stuff is worthwile too.

I assume you've already read the Dick? If not, you will love it.

"The Third Policeman" is probably right down your alley as well ;)

The Things They Carried.

>>4819268
heh
a legit recommendation would be...."Fevre Dream", quite a mesmerizing, light read. Very Gurm-esque

Slightly off-topic, but no point in creating a specific thread for this:

I'm looking for a book. I read it when I was in elementary school (some 15 years ago) and I can't remember the title.
I know it was a Dr. Dolittle book, but I can't remember which.
I remember him complaining that he couldn't talk to shellfish.

Anyone know something about this?

The Baron in the Trees
Lord of the Flies
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Bonus: Henry IV, but only Part 1 (save for the crown scene in Part 2)

For a bundle of beautiful cockinany bullshit try Gravity's Rainbow or Minima Moralia(non-fiction)

>>4824455

Heart of Darkness

>>4824983

He did! That is a good starting point(as well as what I was inferring without stating, foolishly). Cat's Cradle is also fantastic.

A cool thing about Vonnegut is that he has graded/rated his own books. It ended up being quite accurate to my beliefs.

"Such A Long Journey" Rohinton Mistry

Though I'm sure there are many out there, it's hard to find decent obscure books. I've wasted way too much time reading unpopular books, trying to find those hidden, long-forgotten treasures, only to be met by extreme disappointment. Nearly every obscure book I've read has proven to be an egregious affront to Taste and Decency. Unless a reputable source recommends an obscure book to me, I will continue to read the Proper Literature in the Canon.

I have not found anything like Borges, but I also am no literate. I found the Steppenwolf and Nausea we both as saturated with meaning and metaphor as Borges work, so that is sort of nice. They also comment on the condition of man and finding meaning/identity.

>>4825384
Sabato's The Angel of Darkness // Abaddón el exterminador

>>4818834

Molloy if you have not read it.

Otherwise I found that Hunger by Knut Hamson got me into the minded of an equally convoluted and cascading character the Beckett creates while maintaining a morbid reality.

>>4825402

I have not heard of it, who is it by?

The Maimed - Hermann Ungar

>>4825429

Shit, I knew I recognized the name. I read The Tunnel and loved it. But this Angel of Darkness book sounds a lot more fascinating!!

Help me out /lit/, I'm counting on one of you to really know your /lit/shit. I really love A Rebours, Les Fleurs du mal, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the short stories of Théophile Gautier. These are my permanent nightstand writing. If you're familiar with all of them I think you will understand the commonality, it's a little hard for me to describe to someone whose unfamiliar with all of them. It's hard for me to describe the characteristics that they all have that attracts me to them so much. I've really struggled to find writing with this kind of thematic underpinning. I don't care if it's from the same literary period, I'm just looking for writing that resonates the same way and has the same feel. Poetry, short stories and novels welcome. Any suggestions?

Uhh the problem is that I've not read such novel so far. The dream would be a clear style of Wittgenstein or Russell but I am aware of the differences between novels and theirs works. There is some common denominator with my expectations and Kundera's "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting" or Kawabata's "The Master of Go"; both have somewhat distanced narration and quite austere style. While reading I had an impression of watching solidly made mechanism, from which emanated some sort of intellectual calmness. Kundera seemed to me but a little too banal and quickly I got tired of constantly orbiting around the eroticism in sentimental way. I hope it will help m8 :+).

Ride the tiger - Evola

fuck off

Don't know which one you are, but Hemingway evokes the masculinity and a certain sensibility that Evola has too. Mishima and Hesse on the other hand show the traditionalistic side of Evola. I don't see what's the huff-and-puff about. I'm glad you're trying to discuss in a normal, advocated-by-society style. Men these days resemble the blund, pushing ignorance of Tantalos.

it's like recommending mein kampf to someone who just read kafka; stay relevant, fascist pig

>>4826787
Calling Evola a fascist is only true to a certain level, fucktard. Labelling mid-twenthieth century authors merely as fascist/anti-fascist proves you're on the wrong board.

It's not exactly the same as Quentin's chapter from sound and the fury. I don't really know how to give you suggestions for reading it other than just read patiently

The Last Temptation of Christ is an excellent pair with Siddartha, as I realized after reading them back to back. And it seems to somehow fit with the others you like.

My main rec would be Boll's short stories. I'm sure his novels are good too, but I haven't read any yet. He has a very understated style that I think you would appreciate, but his language is a lot richer than other similarly economical writers like Hemingway.

I think Chekhov's short stories and Platonov's Foundation Pit might be good, if I understand what you mean by a calm, distant narration.

Stoner and The Immoralist are both solidly composed, understated, and don't let style get in the way of meaning.

Although it doesn't fit with the books you listed, you might like the style of some realist lit. Maybe Turgenev's Sketches from a Hunter's Album or Crane's Maggie

That's the best I can do for now. I have no idea how The Melancholy of Resistance fits in with any of this.
