You definitely know what you like and have developed a taste for your niche. It’s not really my style and I’ve only read 2 of these books. I’ll refrain from given a number score as that wouldn’t be fair. I am impressed though in that you know what you like and it’s a bit below the typical books listed iceberg. Some recs that come to mind(you’ve probably read some of these I bet) are Queneau, Perec, Gertrude Stein, Beckett, I am a Cat, Balcony in the Forest, Gogol’s Folk Tales, Paul Auster
I've read almost all of these and enjoyed them at least a bit. Except Auster. Don't like him but I don't know why.
Yeah I figured. You have a better idea of your niche and than me so it’s hard to give a good rec
Lots of books I really like. I’ve realized it’s hard for me to put a number grading so I’ll say it’s at least a B grade or better. Lots of Baudelaire, like Paris Spleen, ties into The Book of Disquiet and The Tartar Steppe. Some Jung, Man and his Symbols, for instance, for the themes of myth for the Bible and Absalom Absalom. A Sportsman’s Notebook to hit the short story and Russian part; it’s also a great book that I find underrated. Maybe some Flann O’Brien for the Borges and Kafka
>hard to give a good rec
Well, it's also hard to convince me to read something because I've been pretty systematic about my literary journey. I have hundreds of physical books here which I have read and even more hundreds which I'm going to read. I have read most classics but the obscurer shit is where my heart lies.
How come you like obscurer books?
This lil grumpy Black person makes very convincing arguments for reading obscure old books.
Shuddup, plebbitor
Does plebbit like Arno? I don't know because I don't browse that site. I've been reading Schmidt for two decades now.
>Does plebbit like Arno? I don't know
Uhhhh huh, plebbitor, I found your account and it posts images that the pseud arnogay — presumably you — spams here to show how much he loves spending on arno books
Link it.
What is your favourite book from Amphigorey? I like The Hapless Child, and also The Nursery Frieze from Amphigorey Too or Amphigorey Again (can't remember which)
I can't decide between The Unstrung Harp, The West Wing, and The Willowdale Handcar.

Ah well, thanks for the recs. Lawrence of Arabia was on my list already, I loved the movie so much
Favorites is determined by how fricking alive and human they feel to me
1. The Things They Carried.
2. Jesus' Son
3. Nine Stories
4. A Prayer for Owen Meany
5. Still Life with Woodpecker
6. A Good Man is Hard to Find and Other Stories
7. The Pale King
8. Ficciones
9. Libra
10. Confessions of a Taoist on Wall Street
Bonus 11th
11. Ishmael - Daniel Quinn
How do you define alive and human?
Something that just clicks in my head, that I can really personally connect to on some level. Something that tells me about human nature or the human condition or human behavior
Some of Hamsun can be like that. Les Miserables, Lonesome Dove, Niels Lyhne, letters of Van Gogh, Nijinsky’s diary(schizo and tedious at times, very human and profound. I liked it but can’t recommend it to anyone), The Dharma Bums, Sometimes a Great Notion, Chekhov in general, The Pickwick Papers, Prometheus Bound, Theban Plays, pretty much any Shakespeare or Greek plays when you scrutinize them, Dostoyevsky, Stendhal’s autobiography-The Life of Henri Brulard( another book I can’t recommend to anyone, a terrible book by itself, but if you’ve read Stendhal, it adds so much personality to other books. He is a very likeable personality. The kind of guy who is blown in the wind but just shrugs his shoulders, keeps a smile on his face and an optimistic attitude. I believe Nietzsche felt that attitude from Stendhal, too), Montaigne, Classical Chinese poetry, Winesburg Ohio
There’s a bunch.
It’s hard to narrow it down to 10. I probably have ~7 that I “hold above all” but there are a couple dozen that I consider my favorites and what makes the later slots depends on my mood
>Van Gogh’s letters
>Henry Miller in general
>DH Lawrence in general
>Emerson’s essays and journals
>Montaigne
>Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche (but Nietzsche in general, anyway)
>Leaves of Grass by Whitman
>Cellini’s autobiography
>Casanova’s autobiography
>the ancient Chinese (Tao Te Ching, I Ching, Chuang Tzu, classical poetry) and ancient Indian texts (Dhammapada, Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads)
I cheated with some multiple books answers bc I can’t just pick one. Oddly enough I consider myself mostly a fiction reader, but many of my favorites aren’t. Most of the books listed either spoke to me in some way, they have practicality or spirituality that I can take or use, or I felt the writing in my blood
So far:
1. The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain transl. Red Pine
2. The Genius of the Birds by Jennifer Ackerman
3. Early Buddhist Discourses transl. John J. Holder
4. Metaphysics of Technology by David Skrbina
5. Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham
6. The Secret Garden (ill. Inga Moore) by Frances Hodgsonn Burnett
7. Moominvalley Midwinter by Tove Jansson
8. The Best of Poe
9. Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
10. The Dark Domain by Stefan Grabiński and translated by Mroslaw Lipinski
I have the best taste. I am the most contemplative and wise man on all of IQfy, but that's a low bar.
People should also list top 10 films. I know my taste are better too.
Taste is for morons. Instead tell me about your papers, articles, and monographs you've written.
I’ve got to go for a while. Keep the thread bumped. Other anons should join in rec’ing, too
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - William Blake
All Things Are Possible - Lev Shestov
Any collection of the fragments of the Presocratics
The Aeneid - Vergil
Ajax - Sophocles
Les Chants de Maldoror/Poesies - Comte de Laureamont
Dead Souls - Nikolai Gogol
The Histories - Herodotus
Very hard to choose an individual work from Plato, so I'll say a tie between Gorgias and Sophist
After more consideration, I do like the taste for this one.
Why the change of heart?
Because only a moron would dismiss Blake and Laureamont
I’ve needed to read Blake for the longest time. I know I’ll like him as I always had a soft spot for the mystic poets. I love Gogol and Lautreamont. Sophocles is my favorite Greek tragedian as well. Read Herodotus earlier this year and loved it. Some obvious recs would be Rimbaud, Baudelaire, Rilke. Pretty much any Landmark book and Racine’s Phedre
Hell yeah, thanks. Blake is one of the most influential thinkers in my life, I'd recommend everyone at least read The Songs of Innocence and Experience and The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. I've read Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus and loved them. Been meaning to read Baudelaire and Rimbaud for a while, but Racine's Phaedre has fallen under my radar so I'll have to look into it.

actual cringe core
My top ten aren’t even really that specific to me, they’re all objectively amazing books so you’re just a downright pseud.
All I am pointing is that I am intellectually superior to you, that's all. I have far more creative and contemplative depth if you were one of the last six people whose tastes I did not like. You can seethe about it all you want but facts are facts, and it's good of you to know your place in the inviolable hierarchy of men -- that is if we can even consider you one.
Lmao I hope you’re shitposting because if not I can guarantee you you will never get pussy in your life.
>you will never get pussy in your life.
Truly pathetic. We are discussing higher endeavors and ideals, and the only retort you can come up with is "never getting pussy". You have basically proven my original assessment as correct, thank you. Verily, this shows I am your intellectual superior. I would forsake all pussy for wisdom and greater self-understanding. Such nobility and grace impacts both my taste and general demeanor, showing that I am an unparalleled scholar-gentleman whereas you, yourself, are merely a cur who seeks carnal pleasures and temporary gratification. If you know what is right, then you will hence remain silent, somber, and reflective of your profane ways rather than continue to challenge your intellectual and regal superior.
You know wise men get the most pussy right? No, I guess you wouldn’t know because you are not truly wise and so don’t understand how to drink from the fountain of life and love. Losers with nothing to offer often turn to this self-imposed idea if some esoteric wisdom in order to write off the society that was intuitive enough to shun them. So you take over a thread in order to sweep through a mass of literature you’ve never read in order to play judge of something? This is truly pathetic.
>the society that was intuitive enough to shun them
Since you seem to value the acceptance of society so much while praising the striving for pussy, I believe these ten books would conform more with your soul:
1) The Rose That Grew From Concrete by Tupac
2) The 50th Law by 50 Cent
3) 50 Shades of Grey by El James
4) Twilight by Stephanie Meyer
5) White Fragility by Dr. Robin DiAngelo
6) The LGBTQ + History Book by DK
7) Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera
8) Queer People of Color in Higher Education by Joshua Moon Johnson
9) The Undefeated by Kwame.Alexander
10) The Queer Bible by Jack Guiness
Post your top ten you sniveling homosexual
I've never read a single book, but I have read the plot synopsis of the film GayBlack folk from Outer Space. I feel it describes my life perfectly as a GayBlack person.
Booth Tarkington
Theodore Dreiser
William Dean Howells
Ivan Bunin
The collected illustrations of Norman Rockwell
The Marquis de Sade
Schlegel
Nancy Mitford
That’s all I’ve read
Gay, just drop all of your literary aspirations. You suck.
Extremely based. Good introduction into literature
>Booth Tarkington
I'm glad people still remember this guy. He's been all but forgotten in the modern day sadly; his works are really good.
Fahrenheit 451
Uncle Tom's Cabin
The Camp of the Saints
Most of Poe and Lovecraft
Homers Odyssey
Of mice and Men
Not impressive. Also, that's seven. I know counting to ten is hard for some people.
shit, I forgot you're intellectually superior
It would've been a good post if you said why you didn't like my taste, what is so soulless about it
OP here. Ideally I was hoping more for a rec type thread so I was hoping to keep the negativity to a minimum. This is subjective after all. We all start somewhere and some books click with us for different reasons
Don't care what you have to say, Mr. OP, or dare I say... fascist. This is a free board, and I can post wherever I wish. Have a problem with it? Well, you can pack your bags and head off to Reddit. You don't belong on this land.
Honestly not even funny just ruined a thread. Glad you highlighted your night though.
I would just let him be. Don’t really want the next 50 posts being a derailment
Just watch these people assume the worst of me when in fact I was the OP all along. I played you all like a fiddle, pretending to be someone else when in fact I was the OP all along. Yes, I made the thread with the very intent to derail it and create meaningless drama, for it arouses me as a queer black man.
You need to watch those microaggressions. This thread is rightfully my property, and you have transgressed it long enough. You have littered and ruined this thread with your domineering womanly attitude, poor taste in humor, petulant behavior, dogmatism, and more. You should be ashamed. I am the OP, not you.

Anons, what direction should I head in for more explicitly philosophical stuff?
You know, I've actually never read any of Wolfe's short stories.
try out Flann O'Brien, anon. for philosophy I dunno. I know a guy that lives by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin so I'm gonna get into his work sometime soon. I think you might actually like Carl Jung now that I think about it. I read his Red Book and it was entirely different than anything else I've ever experienced.

An outside the box rec that I already used but Gerard de Nerval. Proust was heavily influenced by him and he feels like a man ahead of his time, he had the fin de siecle spirit decades before it happened. He also has that surrealistic vibe that a few of your favorites do, and he has that Eastern spirituality/philosophy thing goin on a la Franny and Zooey

The obvious thread I see running through a lot of these is “the changing of an era”, re ISOLT, TMWQ, The Sleepwalkers, TSATF. You might have read it already but I would strongly rec Mann’s Buddenbrooks. I think that would be right up your alley. What do you like about Angie March btw? I’ve never read Bellow but he’s one of those writers I plan to eventually get around to

The Dharma Bums
Sometimes a Great Notion
Love, Poverty, and War
Lives of Girls and Women
Sometimes a Great Notion is one of the best books ever that flies under the radar. I rarely have heard a bad word spoken about it from those who read it. The cacophony of thoughts and voices reads much smoother than it should. One of the best uses of stream of consciousness I’ve ever read. Someone like Gaddis always gets tons of props for making distinctive voices in his unattributed dialogue, but Kesey does it better in that stream of consciousness style IMO. One of the most nuanced books out there too, as it’s hard to tell what Kesey’s opinions are, the rare story where no one is the bad guy and everyone’s motives seem completely realistic and understandable. It’s a shame he didn’t write more. I also love The Dharma Bums. I haven’t read a ton of Kerouac, but this is my favorite of his. I feel he is really misunderstood as a writer. One of the more “soulful” books out there. One day I plan to read Kerouac’s minor work. Your list is automatically based for including those two books. Give me some time to think of a rec
As a rec I’d say Shadow Country by Matthiessen. Strong resemblance to Faulkner, especially Absalom Absalom in that you get multiple perspectives about an anti-hero of sorts. It also has a cool setting in swamps of Florida before it was developed. Good writing in general

Mysteries
Extinction
Beware of Pity
the Rings of Saturn
The Book of Ebenezer Le Page
Augustus
War & Peace
Hard Rain Falling
Mason & Dixon
The Emigrants
I’ll put some thought into a rec so give me time but I just wanted to post to say that you have my respect for putting Mysteries first. My favorite Hamsun. It is probably his rawest but there are some parts that will stick with me forever. The ending was a shock and made me reevaluate the whole thing. I’ve reread it a couple times since then and it maintains its freshness every time. Nagel is one of my favorite characters in literature
