I would say Crime and Punishment, but I do believe it is massively popular. However, that's my rec.

>> No.3358450 [View]

I started with Crime and Punishment.
you can then go to
Brothers Karamazov
and then The idiot and Notes from the Underground.

You can also go chronologically instead. Great reading you got there /sci/dude.

I haven't read him. It is hard for me to get books in English and I'm sure that DFW is one of those authors that must be read in his own language. However, I plan reading Pynchon's work first (also in English).

Hmm... Maybe reciting Borges drunk would be fun, his poetry is quite intelectualish and full of sophisticated words.

Federico García Lorca however, is great for both situations! While drunk and for women For guys too

the women, once the fruit-like stuff was mature enough I guess. However, I'm pretty sad I couldn't get that song... not even the lyrics.

>> No.3319126 [View]

Happened to me with a song.

There was a music box on a small island in the middle of a lake. There was, on the island, a gigantic tree with women encapsulated in yellow fruit-like spheres that will eventually fall and crawl to the lake.
The song was quite tranquil and reminded me of George Harrison.
