Sunhawk is far from new, dude. He's been posting his book challenge pictures for quite a while.

Fuck yeah Vonnegut is awesome bro xD

Not only is Somerset Maugham a pretty solid writer, he's also the subject of the best joke Family Guy ever made.

Is Drown actually good? I couldn't stand The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.

cool story bro.

OP, you are my dude. I like pretty much all of this; in particular Alice Munro deserves more /lit/ chatter, although being name-checked in the Tao Lin shitstorm comic is an honor in itself

>> No.1544933

Revolutionary Road is good stuff, loved it.
I've seen some talk about Maugham, he's one that's always interested me but I never think about when I'm at the bookstore/library... I have a long list of those authors.

junot diaz seems like such a bro in every interview I've read and he's kind of hot by pulitzer-winner standards too. I applaud his general existence

Again, anyone read both this and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao? I really didn't like the latter, but I'd be willing to give Drown a chance if it's not too similar in style.
