My favorite book would have to be a three way tie between Ulysses, Gravitys Rainbow, and Infinite Jest, although I haven't read any of them.

I loved the Book of Disquiet actually, i really holds a special place for me. It one of my favorite books ever, but pic related still takes first place for me.

It's a close call between this and Moby Dick for me.

Yeah, I don't think it should be read in one go, and even when read with intermissions it hardly seemed a masterpiece to me.

One of my absolute favorite books. I've never found poetry enjoyable, but this book is what I tell people I read when I say I like poetry and I have no embarrassment for that.

>> No.9056407

I liked the gist of the book, but I couldn't find the humor that everyone said it had. Maybe I'm American and don't really understand Russian Humor.

I discovered this book through an Ariya song called "Blood for Blood"

You have to be at least somewhat acquainted with way of life in USSR and it's quirks to get a lot of humor in it. Plus the inevitable translation toll.

Just learn some Russian, fampai. Anglo chicks dig it.

It was a long time since I read it. I was around 18 when I read it. I think it was the translation I read could be a factor.

This is the only book I have ever actually thrown away, into a trashcan, and it happened two thirds of the way through that stupid fucking chapter about the monk.

I refuse to ever get near this horrid piece of shit again. First I have to sit through some beta-cunt Aloysha desu diary of which he won't SHUT THE FUCK UP. Then a goddamn 100 page sprawl about some useless fucking monk.

FUCK.THIS.BOOK.
