I'm really interested in the Spanish civil war But I'll never read for Whom the Bells toll because so many authors I enjoy say Heminway is a dickhead.
Even Orwell thought he was a prick

>Ludwig Wittgenstein, A Memoir

That book is just a compilation of letter from or to Wittgenstein.

I really hope both of you will find me in this thread.

I never really expected such a comprehensive answer, but I'm very glad you're putting so much effort into guiding an absolute noob.

>You need to understand that this board has a heavy emphasis on prose and ideas over plot and characters.

I figured, but I'm quite ok with that. I'm very open to new ideas and I still feel like I have a lot to learn, discover and experience. Regarding ideas shown and discussed in books, I'm currently reading Starship Troopers. The idea of a society in which only those who have shown dedication to the continuation and protection of society, fascinates me greatly. I'm only 50 pages in, but I'm already digging it. Its also pretty cool to read about guys in powersuits lobbing mininukes absolutely everywhere.

>or perhaps some Dostoevsky
Dostoevsky seems to be a /lit/favourite, although I must admit I have never heard of him. I looked a few resumes of his books and they seem quite weird, but I guess i'll know if I read it.

Reading the first part of Lolita got me quite interested in it. I'll be sure to give it a try when I got the chance.

>Nabokov in general is a master of prose.

I must admit I have never heard of Nabokov either.

And thanks for the top 100 list! I already have American Pshyco, but I find it very hard to read. It is quite dense.

It’s not that hard to understand. You had, on one side, hard working Spaniards fighting for their country; on the other side, sick fuck commies who raped nuns and debased graves.

Does anyone have that old Quentin meme comparing reading 5000 pages of Song of Ice and Fire to reading 5000 pages of pre-modern myths and legends?
