you are correct lads it is fucking good, i'm only 500 pages through but it is the best book I've read. I don't even enjoy it that much but it is genius. Learning German now. Will collect all criticism on it when I'm done.

Please more recommendations in this vein

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 19 23:07:32 2020 No.15145378 Sounds like a colorblind man lamenting color has been falsified. The modernist 'plight' is going to be laughed about in the coming age.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 20 00:01:50 2020 No.15145654 I haven't read any of the following, but my intuition tells me they try to do something similar than TMWQ: Sleepwalkers - Broch Petersbourg - Bely Die Strudlhofstiege - Doderer The Forbidden Forest - Eliade Can anyone comment on them?

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 20 00:04:33 2020 No.15145671 >>15144720 Not the OP, but go read just the first two pages and you'll be hooked.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 20 00:05:51 2020 No.15145681 >>15145671 I was hooked on the chapter describing his father as a tutor of the high courts and getting mad because only 'gentlemen' should have chateaus.

Yeah I'm OP, that's one of my favorites too. Both are incredible though Pessoa is a lot more sensitive in his writing while Musil is doing the road to emotion by his intellect.

Pic related is another good book since the thread seems to be going in the 'unusual novels' route

Petersburg is pretty good. The style is Symbolistic and you often feel like you're losing something in translation, but it's still enjoyable.

Sleepwalkers by Broch is excellent. It's structured in three parts which take place about a decade and a half apart. They each have a different style, first realist, then expressionist, then modernist. The parts follow different characters, but some show up in other character's sections. Later in the novel there's philosophical monologues sort of like you'd read in War & Peace.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 20 00:44:02 2020 No.15145927 >>15145786 >Sorrows of Young Toerless not OP here I didn't like the pseudo-philosophising in this one otherwise a good story and well written book.
