I don't know what you're reading for, for pleasure or for education, but most of the ones you listed were just not worth the time to read them.
Could you tell me why you're reading?
*fart* kys
I read because I’m pretty lonely and I find it entertaining. I’m also in college so I want to be well enough read to coast through conversations with my peers if I have to. Your critique of those books is absolutely moronic however, so I can’t trust your opinion. Blood Meridian isn’t fun. It’s pretty garbage tbh. IJ and American Psycho are the most fun from the list
I'm probably the most well read and most experienced person here. I don't need to waste time debating the worth of those books.
If you're here to read for entertainment I'd recommend Voltaire and Francois de la Rochefoucald as authors to pick from, as well as any epic poems found in the western tradition such as Beowulf or Paradise Lost.
You’re a fricking idiot dude
Which of the books do you own that has the most creased spine? That says a lot about a man.
lmao at you (not the guy you're arguing with)
My favorite book is by far The Book of Disquiet.
Not bad. a few recs based on these
>as i lay dying
>perfume
>white noise
Try some russian lit as well
Alright, I’ll look into Faulkner. I’m a southerner myself so maybe I’d be able to relate to it. Should I start with as I lay dying?
yeah probably, or the sound and the fury. i don't personally approve of the idea of easing yourself into a writer through guides and stuff though, i say just read whichever seems most interesting to you
definitely feels like you'd like faulkner
Besides the trial all of these are garbage. Dude start with the russians. Or Sherwood Anderson’s stories. Or read Stoner if you want a true IQfy staple.
i think you'd also like berlin alexanderplatz
Rudin, Principles of Mathematical Analysis.
The Holy Bible
Harry Potter
