I've decided to get into literature. After doing some research, these books interest me. Is my taste mallgoth/try hard?

The books are fine, anon. Just go read them, for real. Go read them now. Get away from here. Run as far away as you can. The birds will take care of me. You don't have much time.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 20 18:35:29 2015 No.6029109 Those are good books but I doubt if they'd be a good intro. I mean that in I don't think they'll offer what you think they'll offer. but hey, what's my opinion worth anyway, go for it. Start with C&P.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 20 18:46:39 2015 No.6029162 >>6028938 Crime & Punishment pretty much kickstarted my interest in literature. Start with that. I read Stoner shortly after and absolutely loved it. I'm currently looking for a non-shit edition of Oblomov. It seems we have some overlap in tastes.

Reading Oblomov at the moment since I've seen it surge in mentions across 4chan. About half way through and I'm quite impressed. The flashback was a bit of a slog at times, but ultimately good. There is a definitely a foreboding that everything will implode for him.
