Which book/books should I read next? Anonymous Sat Oct 28 04:52:46 2023 No.22650050 [Reply] [Original]

Just got done reading The Magus yesterday, enjoyed it a lot but was very strange and confusing. Satisfyingly unsatisfying I'd say. As always though I've got too many to choose from for my next read for my little brain to make the decision for itself, so could someone please tell me which book or books I should go for next?

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 28 05:02:52 2023 No.22650090 >>22650050 Fathers and sons or Inferno. Throw white noise in the trash

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 28 05:19:57 2023 No.22650138 >>22650090 >>22650050 Fathers and Sons is the only one I have read and liked (Canterbury Tales is a definite skip imo).

>>	Anonymous Sat Oct 28 05:25:55 2023 No.22650152 >>22650050 Dream Story, Heart so White, Pirandello, Deccameron, Chaucer, Kaputt,Justine Herzog, then dealer's choice.

Javier Marias doesn't get a lot of attention otherwise liked the first book in his trilogy and All Souls was pretty funny in places

Kind of a rare Faulkner choice. Have you read all the bigger named ones by him? I'd sugget Dream Story, not because it's short but because it's a great psychological focused story. Either way my pick is infinite Jest

I've only read As I Lay Dying and Absalom, Absalom, but I enjoyed both greatly. The only reason I've got that Faulkner is because I saw it in a charity shop and liked the cover. I think I'm going to go for Dream Story for my next read and then do either the Marias or Fathers and Sons since Turgenev's First Love is one of my favourite things I've read this year.

>>	Drunk Sun Oct 29 10:29:13 2023 No.22654474 My books have long collected dust. What kind of cleaning stuff do I need?

>>	Anonymous Sun Oct 29 10:30:38 2023 No.22654478 >>22654474 Just wipe it off, if it needs more than a gentle scrub, maybe a wet cloth, throw it out.
