Fine, I'll bite.
the ones on the right are library books I picked up the same day cause I figured these would take a little while to ship, and then I came home to the box on my porch.

Was going to start with To The Lighthouse, but I picked up A Supposedly Fun Thing and it really is awesome to read. I've never read any of DFW's fiction, but I heard good things about his essays. If the quality of these carries over to his fiction, I may be starting Infinite Jest way sooner than I expected

Sorry about the picture -- struggling bigtime to line up the webcam.

The one at the top is Cartesian Sonatas by Gass. Erasure is by Percival Everett. The rest should be clear.

Also Speedboat is a first edition (stated, but I think it's a second printing) which is cool since it was just reprinted by NYRB.

I've always thought that his essays are more consistent that his short fiction though he does have some excellent stories. I liked all his novels as well but I didn't think The Pale King was as good as most people say (compared to his others).

i've considered that. still, i find it strange that /lit/ has been this way since it was first created. i would have thought it would have changed a little bit by now, but no -- nothing. i won't bother commenting further. i was just making an observation to help encourage people to read outside what is repeatedly recommended here.

You cannot do it without sounding arrogant, condescending, and/or elitist. Even if that isn't your intention that is how it comes out every time someone says something to that effect. And half the time the pleb/patricianist trolls discredit that argument by simply agreeing with it.

Anyone have that /lit/ by color codes infographic?

Also, I would say that a great deal of this is a result of lots of younger readers going to the sticky first, which is a good thing.

I would say that people need to look at Pulitzer and Nobel winner lists more often. I never see Mo Yan discussion but the Sandlewood Death is one of the best books this year.

See, the thing is that these books are only unoriginal to our little bookclub here on /lit/. Oh, and saying that reading an "obscure" book is orioginal is just a misunderstanding. There is nothing original about reading anything. You aren't creating anything original. You aren't having an original experience. You are observing someone else's original work.

98% of book readers won't be able to recognize any of those other than Moby-Dick (Maybe Fear and Loathing). You definitions of what can be considered ordinary or mainstream are incredibly skewed.

People read and recommend these books because they are good and a hell of a lot better than most literature out there. Only on /lit/ can you be called a moron for reading Joyce or Pynchon or McCarthy.

Sure. But I didn't. I hadn't heard of Pynchon before I heard that PTA was making an Inherent Vice film and that was a big deal for some reason.

I then came here for the first time to get some recommendations on what to read if I want to know a little about Pynchon. Fast forward six months and I've read The Crying of Lot 49, V., and a shitload of other books that can be considered "/lit/-core". I base what I buy mostly on the posts here, as you mainly get honest and good advice.

She will either carry on, like me, not giving one shit for this circumstantial evidence, or, less likely I suppose, post a headless with a time stamp that reads "Hi /lit/ Love you « Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ »" and put this gender issue to rest.

Picked this up last week. I know it's pretty known around here but I've seen the movie a couple times and I just had to read the book. I love it. It's everything I want in a book and every time I read it I laugh my ass off. I'm almost done it as well. Do you guys have anything similar?

it was technically a gift, but my aunt had a discount through work or something, so it was about £70 or £80. The light seems to be worth it for reading in the dark, but I only set it up today and it's still daylight so i'll see how it holds up later on.

I used to have a kindle keyboard, but it broke a few weeks ago (after about three and a half years I think).
