Sup /lit/erati, I'm ordering some books, anyone have any suggestions?

Currently in the checkout list are

>Infinite Meme
>Mason & Dixon
>Blood Meridian
>Norwegian Wood
>Stoner

Anything else that I really have to get?

Please keep the memes to a minimum, I know people have different tastes.

Yes, I suggest that you read them before you buy more books.

Good call.

Get Gogol's collected short stories or Dead Souls. It's pretty brilliant.

>>7231477
Yeah, I was thinking that too. I was just thinking I should check if you guys had some immediate suggestions while I actually have money.

Neuromancer by William Gibson (Since you posted Ghost in the Shell in the OP)

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

Read Neuromancer, pretty good actually.

Thanks for the other suggestions. Totally forgot about Nabokov.

Thanks for the suggestions. Dead Souls looks right up my street.

I personally see nothing in David Foster Wallace, Cormac McCarthy, or Haruki Murakami.

Avoid: Salman Rushdie and contemporary British literature in general, Bertrand Russell and David Hume

Archaic English and German writing styles s's looked similar to f's.
Germans still wrote archaically until the early 20th century.
