Dankjewel! Ik heb meer (kleine) schappen, maar dat zijn meer ongelezen boeken, vooral klassiekers, en mijn camera is bagger. Ik probeer zoveel mogelijk boeken in het Nederlands te lezen, behalve als het geschreven is in het Nederlands. Een paar uitzonderingen zijn boeken die ik simpelweg makkelijker kon vinden in het Engels of die toch niet zo lang zijn, zoals The Art of War, Snow Country en One Day in the Life of Denis Denisovich.

Ik lees nu dat ik een typfout gemaakt heb in mijn vorige bericht: Ik lees het meeste in het Nederlands, behalve als het origineel geschreven is in het Engels. Sorry daarvoor!
De Nederlandse vertalingen zijn meestal erg goed, en als Nederlands je enige moedertaal is krijg je meer mee van de schrijfstijl en het meer subtiele taalgebruik. Ook kost het bij mij persoonlijk, ondanks dat ik vrij bekwaam ben in de Engelse taal, meer moeite om door een Engelstalige vertaling heen te komen dan door een Nederlandse vertaling.

I enjoyed it a lot! I know what you mean, but the writings of that guy are just showing what kind of a person he is; a pathetic loser. I think it's meant to make you loathe him.
The book feels like a maze, it's so unbelievably full of derailed thoughts, researches and documentary information, as well as really nice puzzles and cryptic information. I kept notes while I was reading, to see if I could link certain spelling errors, colours, numbers or themes if I'd find them again later in the book. How far are you in? And have you read other post-modern works like this?

I hate Murakami with a passion, so I don't know how much you'll like these. (I'm also going to talk about only the stuff I've read.)
>Japanese
Kawabata is the heavyweight champion of Japanese literature. His magnum opus is the "Master of Go", but I'd go with "The Lake" or "Snow Country". Those are moodier. But you should read all of them.
Soseki is the father of modern Japanese literature. "Botchan" hit too close to home, so I didn't like it all that much, it was infuriating to read, but "The Gate" is excellent though. It also portrays the modernising Japanese society, which makes it all the more interesting.
Akutagawa wrote pretty good short stories. Just grab a collection and read it. They are full of soul. I'm especially fond of his story "Mori Sensei", which talks about an elderly teacher, thoroughly devoted to his craft. His novel "Kapppa" is "okay". It's a critique of the contemporary elite with some socialist undertones, but it's nowhere near as good as the short stories.
Dazai's No Longer Human is one of the best books ever written, and you should read it. It's absolutely lovely.
Mishima didn't really strike me as a literary genius when I've read him, but you might find it otherwise. (Though I still have a novel of his waiting to be read, so it's not like I don't want to "redeem myself".) His plays are pretty good. (I liked "My friend, Hitler". It's an interesting drama.)
Ryu Murakami is contemporary and edgy. "In the Miso Soup" had me gagging at parts. Haven't read much else by him.
Toshiki Okada's "The end of the moment we had" is also contemporary, it's short, and really good. I liked it a lot, and it's refreshing to read something light and modern.

I'll make a Chinese list in a second post.

>Chinese
Now the problem with this one is that Chinese literature (classic Chinese literature) feels like a gigantic circlejerk at times, with often namedropping/quoting past emperors, poets, generals or philosophers. The more you read, the more rewarding it becomes.
Pu Song-ling: "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" - It's a bunch of ghost stories. Who wouldn't want to read stories about promising young scholars fucking pretty foxgirls and ghosts before passing their imperial exams with flying colours? It's quintessentially Chinese.
Lao She wrote some pretty good short stories. He's one of the better modern writers.
Lu Xun is the father of modern Chinese literature. He also wrote a lot of short stories, and a novel, "The real story of Ah-Q", which was OK, but didn't really grab me. He wrote a lot of good essays on Chinese literature and contemporary subject though.
Gao Xingjian's "Soul Mountain" has a mountain of souls poured into it. It feels magical, and you have to experience it. Haven't had the chance to read any of his dramas yet.
Wang Meng was one of the major players in the PRC, before he was sent off for "reeducation" into Xingjian. He has some nice short stories.
Mo Yan is the current golden egg laying hen of the PRC literary scene. "The Republic of Wine" is a really good post-modern novel that'll sink in a few days after finishing it. It's a good read.
Tashi Dawa is a halfling Tibetan author who writes gay spiritualist intercultural shit. Avoid this retard.
Yuan dramas are really interesting. "Circle of Chalk" is the most famous and influental in the West.
Also try getting acquainted with Du Fu and Li Bai. Just so you know who they are when they are referenced.
I've read parts of Wu Jingzi's "The Scholars", and that's a good novel too, but it's more like a collection of novellas. It's a parody of the era's intellectual elite, so the tone is cynical and ironic.

Nothing else comes to mind now. Maybe try reading Lin Yutang's "My country and my people". It's an older book meant to introduce people to the "Chinese mentality" in general.

Also keep in mind that Chinese and Japanese literature differ a lot. Japanese literature feels like visiting a "magical dreamland". Meanwhile Chinese literature is a lot more grey and cruel. They write some cruel as Hell stuff. You should still read Chinese fiction, but don't expect it to be Murakami.

And now if you excuse me, I have to jump off the mount of stupid I've climbed in top of in my moment of Dunning-Kruger.

>>13249467
With my meagre knowledge of Chinese, I can decipher that this is a question towards me, and it has a negation in it and the word "time".

I’ve just reached page 250 today. I’m on chapter 11. I’ve read many other postmodern works such as GR and Underworld and 2666, but this one takes the cake in my opinion. It’s almost everything a post modern piece of art could want.

I really enjoyed the spacing of words in chapter 10. It really creates a sense of being trapped as well as it forces the reader to slow down and savor the words more. Ingenious writing

It was amazing. Parts 1 and 3 are very good. Part 2 was my second favorite. And part 5 was my favorite just due to the beauty of the prose and the driving, strong story. Part 4 is a slog, but I think it really adds to the narrative when you fully comprehend the scope of the murders. Overall, it was a very good and thought provoking book, I enjoyed the prose immensely at times and at others it was lacking, although, that’s probably due to it being a translation. ( I’m and American so all I can read is English, sadly )
The ending is not really what you would expect however.

If I would describe it I would say it’s like a Pynchon novel if he decided to pop 4 Xanax before sitting down to write.

A couple good starting points are

-Gaunt's Ghosts. It's a series about a unit in the Imperial Guard. Human characters fighting the madness of Chaos. very realistic and grounded for a series about fighting hell worshippers in space

-Helsreach. Rereleased with a bunch of extra shot stories as War for Armageddon. A Space Marine facing a pointless death in an unwinnable war rediscovers meaning in killing the enemies of man.Hell, you don't even need to read the book, somebody did CGI animations to go with the audiobook, so you can just watch it

That's really good to hear! I just started Crime and Punishment, so that'll have to wait for a bit, but you've really sold it to me; I'll definitely try to read it sometime this year.
I myself am Dutch, and it's pretty nice to be able to read two languages; it really shows different writing styles if you compare the two languages. It also makes me able to choose which translation of other language novels I want to read. (I have 2666 in Dutch, and I've heard the translation is pretty good.)
On an slightly unrelated note, do you have any other recommendations?

It means one day we can change it. Old men will die and new judges appointed. Chances to change minds and bullshit so hard by twisting dead men's language.

It is beautiful because it is so ugly.
