A helpful chart for you, OP.

>> No.1600371

>>1600365
So read the other 50 then? All of them are recommended.

>> No.1600372

>>1600365
Then read the rest.
The answers you get won't stray far from the chart, anyway.

>> No.1600381

Although I liked Atlas Shrugged more, this was a far, far easier read.

>> No.1600385

So if I read all 100, I can come back and you guys will offer more recommendations? I just love having something I can read within a day, especially during my studies.

The Metamorphosis

>> No.1600395

>>1600385
I gave you some in >>1600381, and I can give you several more if you need them (Japanese ones).

But yeah, I'd go through most of those 100 first. I'm sure when capsguy gets here he can give you more Russian novellas though!

From that movie where Moot's parents split up, and he goes a but nutty, and totally has a chance with these girls, but he fucks it up.

Also, his little brother gets seriously creepy and weird.

The Squid and the Whale.
