Reminder that you should read Gaddis this Christmas break. The Recognitions is a perfect place to start, so you can work up to reading the greatest American novel, J R

suggestions for new one? Honestly I don't care about people reading Bolano, but this is the only one I saw with Gaddis.

I have. Socrates sure loves etymologies.

>> No.7503089

I have read all of Origins, and all of Rises, aside from Women & Men. That said, having read it, I have to wonder where Finnegans Wake is located? Ascends?

>finnegans wake
any trilogy that doesnt include it is unworthy of being discussed seriously on /lit/

How about Finnegans Wake, In Search of Lost Time (ÀKA Remembrance of Things Past), and The Man Without Qualities? Surely the proper trilogy should be at least 5000 pages, encompass 10 volumes, and originally be written in at least 3 languages if people are going to feel proud enough to be prompted to compose and post a gif over it.
