just my diary desu
which i read in its entirety before writing each new entry, which has become increasingly focused on reflections of what I've read due to time constraints on other life activities

I'm 21 now, didn't start seriously reading until around two years ago and am ashamed to admit I can remember every book I've read since the list is is so short.

Chronological order:
>On the Road (got me into reading)
>Dharma Bums
>Siddhartha
>East of Eden
>Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
>Walden
>This Side of Paradise
>Invisible Man by Ellison
>Beloved
>Metamorphosis by Kafka
>The Sun Also Rises
>The Road by Cormac McCarthy
>Infinite Jest
>Brothers K
>Stoner
>Plato's Republic
>The Trial by Kafka
>A Personal Matter by Oe
>Lyonesse by Jack Vance
>Mason & Dixon

Yeah, this is every book I can remember reading.

which is your favourite so far?

Favorite is hard to say because they all sort of represented a phase of my life (it happens less often now) but looking back I'd say the best reading experiences I had were On the Road, Infinite Jest, and M&D.
