No idea what to read, I am quite well-read, but just have no motivation to find something next to read.

Suggest anything, please.

Ah, that is the book I need to read. Was planning on reading Berlin, but Master and margarita is king of kings in russian lit

either that or notes from the underground.

What you guys recommend doesn't necessarily have to be a 'classic' though :)

The Night Lands? It has a ton of misogyny, but if you can deal it is an amazing book in many ways.

Check the artwork, fuck yea

read In Cold Blood. it's a nonfiction story about the murder of a wealthy landowner and his family, leading up to the execution of the criminals compiled based on interviews from the persons involved, it's a riveting crime novel

Just read a bit of the plot synopsis on Wikipedia, and that seems fucking awesome! How come I'm yet to hear of it before?

No clue, probably the misogyny. Although I've always suspected the wiki article was written by the fanatics who host the night lands site. Eh.

And it's public domain, fuck yeah.
