A lot of Faulkner.

Usually any of the russian big names.

Tolstoy, Dostoievsky, Checkhov and others. I get the most feels with their stuff.

I read The Sun Also Rises and extracted few feels. Doing it wrong?

+1. Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy are the ones I'd recommend. Personally I get the most feels reading Tolstoy.

It's new-school 4chan-speak that has unfortunately infected /lit/. You're better off ignoring it.

I didn't either my first time through. Read it again and just think about the emotional states of the characters. It is truly sad

The lady of the Camellias gave me a whole bunch of feels. But the book that's given me the more feels really is the catcher in the rye.

A feel... A feel is a relatble but intense emotion brought upon by strange situations, realizations, bad and good times, and many other things.

Absalom, Absalom! Holy jesus tittyfucking christ. I actually wept at the sheer beauty of the prose at one point. When I finished reading Sutpen's rant, I just put the book down and said "Hoooooly shit" b/c I couldn't handle how intense a read it was.

I was in a slump for a 24 hours after the end of Call of the Wild. I'm not sure it was supposed to be a sad ending but still, I got so sad after that one guy died while Buck was off doing his thing in the woods.

/lit/, I just read Less Than Zero and American Psycho. I really loved them both.

What should I read now? Stick to Bret Easton Ellis or try something better?

Also, tell me why his books are good/bad.
