The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño. Couldn't do shit but read the damn fucker.

Phenomenologies des Geistes

>>6212203
For me, it was the Giver.

>>6212326

>>6212331
You did not find it enthralling?

>>6212335
umm well you know anon... I only posted bane because you said "For me"...s-sorry...

>>6212326
A fan of Descartes I see.

Without question The Count of Monte Cristo.

>>6212336
T'is okay, want a hug?

>>6212337
How are Descartes and The Giver related?

Probably House of Leaves

>>6212362
please...

Mr. Mercedes is a recent one.

I wish King would write more stuff like this instead of quasi-horror magic realism.

Watership Down

>>6212391
Gigantic hugs all around, care to snuggle up and read a good book together?

>>6212445
hahaa no, I don't care n_n

infinite jest, for real

>>6212522
I don't know if you're trolling, but I agree. I thought it would be a chore, but I always wanted to keep turning pages.

>>6212558
why is this board so ironic

no, i wasn't "trolling"

>>6212560
It's not even being ironic, its this board's obsession with turning everything into a meme.

House of Leaves for me.

>>6212560
He's an insecure retard who can't admit he likes something popular without qualification because of puerile shitposters. It's a sad thing that people are literally afraid of other posters.

>>6212203
The Crying of Lot 49

1Q84

Lord of the Dang Rings

Most recently Anthony Keidis's autobiography, I read in nearly in one sitting.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

>>6212203
Catch-22 honestly. The timeline developing with the plot was genius.

>>6212782
>Missing the point this horribly

>>6212203
recently, Amsterdam Stories

>>6212882
It's pretty standard for pussies to reply to a positive post about infinite jest with something along the lines of "I know you're probably le epic trolling but memes aside I actually really like DFW because..." and it's because they are insecure morons who are unknowingly perpetuating the very meme they claim to be against. Your greentext honestly doesn't even make any sense, at all.

>>6213360
take a step back for a second and think about why this upsets you

>>6213381
I don't need to know or care that you're mad. Sorry.

>>6212203
if on a winter's night, a traveler

Probably Hearts in Atlantis, GD that was a fantastic book. Say what you will about Stephen King, but he knows how to pen a page-turner.

>>6213384
do you even read? you are going completely apart from anything anyone in this thread is talking about.

I am not even the person you freaked out on, but I noticed it is absurd that you are vomiting your thoughts on people that didn't warrant them.

I told you to think about why you even typed what you did and you typed something that wasn't even relevant to what I wrote.

Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist

I had already seen the movie so I knew where it was going but I hadn't been so hooked by a book in quite a while. It kinda drops the ball at the end, but I had forgotten that it could be so much fun to read.

Take your shit elsewhere

Moby Dick

I greedily ate up the plot's blubber due to that majestic prose

>>6213598
>muh prose
every /lit/ post ever

Harry potter

>tfw waiting months for a book to come out
>tfw marathon reading 500 pages in a day

>>6213621
I bet you're really unique. Why do you read books?

>>6213648
I don't, I only pretend to.

>>6212203
Childhood's End by Clarke
only read it like, last week. I might start it again.. though I guess I should finally finish Brothers Karamazov..

>>6213598
>I greedily ate up the plot's blubber due to that majestic prose
So you missed the whole point of the book and managed only to catch the antiquated vocabulary? Talk about pleb.

>>6213632
yep

>>6213598
Shut up gaffet. Moby Dick is the polar opposite of a page turner, unless you're actually am 18th century whaler. Go kill a mammal before posting again, lest we smell your fragile weakness from afar.

>>6212369
The giver of the dick.

>>6212838
I like the overall story of Lotr but it goes a little slow for my tastes.

>>6213632
Didn't your eyes hurt like hell after that?

>>6212203
Absolutely loved it.

All of Philip K. Dick's novels.

>>6214561
Not as much as my dick after jacking to the homoerotic tension between Harry, Dumbledore, and Hagrid.

>>6215423
this was my bible, as a wolf-obsessed and antisocial child

>>6212206
Same here
If you haven't read it, I found Nocturno de Chile pretty good

absolutely loved it

>>6212206
funnily enough I keep putting that book down. Not that I don't enjoy it, I just don't want it to end all too soon.
