interesting combination. Sadly I can't say same thing - during my middle school I was wasting my time with generic fantasy novels.

>>766686
I'm not saying that's the order I did read them in, that's just how I would have.

bumping for more ideas

>>766697

Read in middle school or younger:
Das Kapital
The Lord of the Rings
The prince
The Theory of relativity

The wheel of time
Thus spoke Zarathustra
War and Peace

Read in high School:
1984
The great gatsby
The World as Will and Representation
critique of pure reason

Of course i read a lot more, but these were some of the most important/ my favourites

>>766759
Thought the same as some of the others, that this was about what you read, but that`s pretty much the same, i would`not change anything

ITT; Fags who pretend the read books instead of playing with pokémans.

>>766781

>>766759
I started the wheel of time series in high school

>>766781

>Hurr durr, hurr durr nobody on /lit/ actually reads they just look up obscure sounding books on the internet hurr durr

0/10

This troll is old as the hills. Shit, people were saying this when /lit/ was conceived.

>middle school or younger
>das kapital

>implying you don't need a college education to understand das kapital

>>766810
I`m not implying that i understood it all, but i got the basic idea by reading some essays as well.

>>766759

What, being taken in by shitty trolls?

Sure.

Harry Potter.... Harry Potter? HARRY FUCKING POTTER!?!?! AHHHH!!! FUCK YOU! Everything else is fine, but why did you have to go and fuck it all up by putting that garbage in there? You'd best be trolling!

>>766886

Let's be fair, the first two books weren't half-bad.

The rest is garbage.

I hate him. But... I enjoy his books, even as I hate some of the things he does in them.

>>767132
Hes a great writer. He gets allot of hate cause hes got crazy political ideas, but he doesn't let them overtly influence his works. As in, whenever a character is backing up some form of political idea (which doesnt happen that much) I can believe its coming from the character, not the author. Although I haven't read any of his recent stuff, I stopped at Shadow of the Giant I think it was. I keep in mind that most writers (or directors, or actors, or artists) are usually nuts or disgusting, keep the art separate from the artist.

When I was in primary school it was mainly Robin Hood, King Arthur, Ivanhoe, and Robert Howard.

High School I read exclusively Forgotten realms /dragon lance novels and RA Salvatore.

Now I read a mixture of classic literature/ fantasy/ Sci Fi/historical fiction.

Feels good that there's so many good books out there that I have yet to read.

>>767205

I hate that he only writes about geniuses, but shows nothing that convinces me his characters are actually intelligent. They figure out things anyone of normal intellect could, they just do it a bit quicker, which is because he has the benefit of taking time when he writes.

I also disagree that his political and religious views don't taint his writing. Sometimes I find myself wanting to stab him for some of the things he writes.

That said, I DO enjoy his books. He's, mostly, a very good author.

Read when someone has died: The Death of Ivan Illych - Tolstoy

I like the idea of this thread, but it needs more "parts" of life that don't relate to education.
