Joyce is a very strong writer, but Mervyn Peake...
I love Gormenghast and I have read it with great enjoyment, but it cannot be compared to truly great literature, no sir!

Nietzsche probably(could probably swap him for 10-20 writers depending on how I’m feeling. Choosing just 3 is hard)
These threads invariably suck. I try to give a idea of what I might be interested in, and I get either stuff I've already read and didn't like, or stuff that seems to only have a superficial resemblance based on a google search to what I suggested and nothing in common with the themes, stylistic considerations, or the things that drew me to the works I mentioned in the first place.
>these threads invariably suck
Have you seen the rest of the catalog lately? If anything, these threads are a breath of fresh air
for fiction:
Barker

No just a typical German.
Percy Shelley
Thomas Mann
James Joyce
Mary Shelly, Heinrich Mann, or Joyce Carol Oates

I recommend Vassily Grossman if you liked Babel as a commissar among the Cossack, following the anarchists and the whole circumcision judgment.

Celine
John Williams
Shakespeare
Rilke
Houellebecq

Max Frisch

Dostoevsky
Fitzgerald
McCarthy
Reddit
Nietzsche is the best writer I've encountered. None suck me in as much. Any recommendation?
I also like writers like Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Thomas Mann, Hemingway, Bolano, and others. Still they don't produce the same magnetism in me that Nietzsche does.
borges
mempo giardinelli
rodolfo walsh
jose hernandez
leopoldo lugones
Camus
Pratchett
Kafka
john james mcharden
Try Gombrowicz
Mine:
Hesse
Murakami
Selimović
Murakami and Selimović are pretty interchangeable, I guess I'm at the point where I've only read 1 or 2 books by most authors
Based taste.
Check out Mann and Strindberg.
Máirtín Ó Cadhain
Geoffrey Keating
Padraic Ó Connaire
In Russian, Gogol is like Quentin Tarantino from the world of literature.
I don't know how to explain it. It's like Cormac McCarthy + Mark Twain. It's like Homer and Charlie Chaplin.
American writers were obsessed with writing the Great American Novel, and Russian writers were obsessed with becoming the Second Gogol.
Among them were Anton Chekhov and Mikhail Bulgakov.
Tove Jansson.
David Ohle.
Kobo Abe.
I like casual surrealism. Don't say Murakami.
Patrick Suskind
Dante Alighieri
Edgar Allan Poe
Pic semi-related

ed.
>Marcus Valerius Martialis
>Julian the Apostate
>John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester
Can I switch Julian who only wrote a little for Harlan Ellison who obviously wrote a lot? I can't believe I forgot about the best author of our time.
changing it now

Makes me wonder if you're a LatAm bro. I'd recommend Cabrera Infante if you haven't already read him.

wanted to include horacio quiroga but hes more of a role model than a favourite writer
thanks for the recommendation
Levrero.
At this moment
> Wilde
> Ruskin
> Blake
>Ruskin
I didn't know Ruskin wr- oh yeah he did write that book for his fiance, I thought he was mostly a painter though?
Pretty fricking based OP.
For me it's:
Gogol
Chesterton
Dosto
Delillo
DFW
Hammett
McCarthy
Joyce
Nietzsche
>my promised recommendation.
where is my promised recommendation.
hmmrumm not what i expected:
out of 58 posters:
Nietzsche considered Top 3 by only TWO
(i expected way more due to the /misc/ & IQfy drift)
Schopenhauer with an equal Two
Tolstoy with Three
Orwell only considered by One
With the most citations being for James Joyce with Nine
Yes, it is well known that IQfy has absolutely ATROCIOUS taste in literature. I am the one who had both Orwell and Tolstoy, but most on here lap up the complete DRIVEL which is Dostoevsky's work or Joyce's work.
>ATROCIOUS
i .. wouldn't go that far, there's plenty of single citations for better interesting authors ad authors I've never heard of; my shock was that Neech got so few.
I have to agree though, Joyce, from what I've read and recall, isn't anything particularly interesting.
I have read Portrait of the Artist and Dubliners and basically only one of the short stories in Dubliners was pretty good, the rest of it really dragged. And right on cue we have Dosto gays showing up
Yeah, I enjoy Dostoevsky's writings. What's the exact issue?
Thomas Pynchon
