The Hobbit is the only Anglo book there
Saying that someone is an ignorant based on top 3 books only is the most ignorant thing I heard in a while
>who doesnt step outsede your confort zone
That's definitely true for the most part. I read a book by Jamaica Kincaid last year(Annie John)so at least one black woman. Honestly think IQfy would like it if it people didn't know the author
Much of IQfy‘s opinions would be different if authors were anonymous
rent free
My favorite book is the one I wrote myself
A selfish man. Prideful in his work, overly so, in fact, that he claims that only himself can be at the apex of literature.

Have you read any of Blake's poetry, anon?
I've read all of his poetry minus Poetical Sketches, Jerusalem, and Four Zoas
Nice. I like Blake myself. Do you like Coleridge, Keats, Tennyson and/or P. Shelley too?
I love Coleridge, he (and Wordsworth) was the poet who initially got me interested in poetry almost a decade ago now and the one who led me to read Blake. I've been meaning to read Keats and Shelley, I have an old Modern Library hardcover I got for a steal years ago. It'll be high time to read them when I finish Milton's Samson Agonistes. I'm not too familiar with Tennyson, anything you'd recommend?

Appreciate further recommendations along these lines (not too much plot, lyrical, and I like it if it shoves it my face that there's no redemption - not that these would stand for all of these)
And experimental
probably Anthem Snow Crash and Paradise Lost
honorable mention being Atlas Shrugged
what do these say about me
>Paradise Lost
WTF i thought this was super long. Just looked it up and it's not. Might read soon now
its great really good
in place of Heaven's light? That's fine by me! God
Who now is sovran can dispose and bid
can have his dictatorship and reign of tyranny up there
What shall be right: fardest from Him is best,
We had equal rights, but the power of his force was stronger, so he gets to be 'king'
Above his equals. Farewell, happy fields,
So farewell Heaven
Where joy forever dwells! Hail, horrors! hail,
Infernal World! and thou, profoundest Hell,
Receive thy new possessor—one who brings
a mind that does not change by place or time
The mind is its own place, and in itself
As long as you have the attitude,
Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
What matter where, if I be still the same,
And what I should be, all but less than he
Whom thunder hath made greater? Here at least
We shall be free; the Almighty hath not built this for anything else!
Here for his envy, will not drive us hence:
Here we may reign secure; and, in my choice,
To reign is worth ambition, though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.

Judge me
You wanted to put As I Lay Dying in your top 3 but you didn't want us to call you basic.
If you’ve been what’s called a serious reader and have been reading for a long time it is impossible to narrow it down to so few. The more books you read the more books will hold a special place in your heart for different reasons
>Absalom, Absalom!
>The Lord of the Rings
