Books to read this summer in the shade of a Mediterranean villa facing the sea.
I'll start:
Camus - L'Étranger
Cervantes - El Quijote
Plato - Fedro
Pynchon - Crying of lot 49
DFW - A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again
Steinbeck - Tortilla Flat
Juan Rulfo - Pedro Páramo

The Odyssey. You should read the Iliad first but the Odyssey is peak MedSummerCore
A Midsummer's Night Dream?
Trans kino
I think you'll want to stick with more French authors, Pynchon doesn't work well in the shade of a Mediterranean villa. Americans like Hemingway and Steinbeck work well too. Don Quixote is 50/50 I'd say, not a bad choice.
These are shitty recs without much cohesion.
>Camus - L'Étranger
This one is okay.
>Cervantes - El Quijote
not really a seaside or in the shade of a tree book. If you want a door stopper, read the Iliad or Odyssey like the other anon suggested.
>Plato - Fedro
Philosophy, dialogues included, ought to be read at one’s desk, not brushed over lazily in the heat of summer.
>Pynchon - Crying of lot 49
>American
>Med Summer Vibes-larp
Pick one.
>DFW - A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again
Closer to philosophy, so I’d say the same rules apply.
>Steinbeck - Tortilla Flat
Best rec.
>Juan Rulfo - Pedro Páramo
Good book, not at all for what you are going for. Maybe a summer night read.
Try one of these instead:
>Alberto Moravia’s Agostino
>Houellebecq’s Lanzarote
It is a pulp-y erotic beach read, but hilarious.
>Elizabeth von Arnim’s The Enchanted April
>Eco’s Name of The Rose
>Forester’s Room with a View
>Honorable mention beach read, but not Med: A Fortnight in September by RC Sheriff
Effeminate hands of a sophomoric pseud typed this atrocious shitpost.
Why are you talking about your post? Good job, lil guy, for having self-awareness
>The best novel not only from any Med country, but from Europe.
>Not med enough.
>Door stopper.
Shit taste. Educate yourself.
Peak psyopped anglo.
He thinks the greeks must be read in a dark dungeon by candlelight and not looking at Mare Nostrum from the shade of an olive tree.
OP here. This isn't a Greek Ubermensch LARP post. I just want good books to read during my vacation in the Med.
I really enjoyed reading Pynchon during my last year vacation, even though it has nothing to do with Europe or the Mediterranean. Same with the rest of the examples.
So basically: nice and enjoyable reads for a vacation near the sea.
Should have mentioned this one. Excellent recommendation.
Good choice.
Tender is the night.
The Count of Monte Cristo is the most kino and med book I can think of. I would kill to be able to read on the Med right now.
The med sections should be longer. Too much time spent in Paris-salons!
The salons are comfy as well though.
There's too much time spent on the book in general. It needs to be 1/3 of its final size.

it sucks that you have to stay stuck in a basement in Gary, Indiana.
Haha
>watched some shitty viceslop and references it
Go back
reading a bunch Calvino and it just goes down so smooth with a cheap wine reading en plen aire
really loved the shorts stories in Last Comes the Raven. read many twice. I would like to share one about a guy riding the train and woman sits next to him and it's a neurotic stream of conscious of him trying to covertly escalate physical contact and read her sphinx like intentions. IQfy would relate to the over-reflexive social-anxiety. it's called 'The Adventure of a Soldier'
You write like a gay
summer indeed
Yeah, OP reeks of it
Seems like you never read Pedro Paramo if you think its a beach book. Its like calling a book about Kansas or Nebraska Medshit.
dumbass
Not an argument. Read the book for once
not OP but Pedro Paramo was a very comfy reading for me
Is pic related summer reading at all? I got a copy I was intending to take to France next week. Also getting Nostromo by Joseph Conrad in the mail before I leave.
For me, it's going to be Alastalon Salissa by Volter Kilpi.
