I'm very under-read, but here are mine.

I. The Bible
II. Republic, Plato
III. The Poetry of W. B. Yeats
IV. The Poetry of Lord Alfred Tennyson
V. Songs of Innocence, Songs of Experience; William Blake

I read a fair amount of fiction and enjoy it, but poetry stays with me more.

Norwegian Wood is his worst novel. Also why Lolita? A lot of people like it and I just don't understand why. I haven't read it yet, but that's because I'm honestly not even a little bit interested. Why go out of your way to read a work about a pedophile written by an actual pedophile?

It’s very modern in style and it has a lot more philosophy than what I thought it would have. It’s also very loose (in a good way), everything flows in a manner I wished I had written it. Definitely a classic.

I do.
It's a pretty tight little novel with a really nice japanese-buddhist setting. Essentially a really long search for inside peace. A long thought with a lot of memorable moments, despite it's shortness.

>> No.11456940

Admirers welcome, because yes I’ve read all these works esoterically WITHOUT a companion book, haters are to be expected, for surely men feared those who carried the fire they understood not, when first man emerged from his cave of darkness and ignorance:

1. Ulysses
2. Dante’s La Commedia
3. War and Peace
4. Anna Karenina
5. The Old and New Testament

Critics beware, any argument will surely end in defeat, leaving you more scarred, disparaged and humiliated than Oedipus the King himself.

Still trying to develop critical reading. Usually I just don't finish books I don't like.
