L'Ingenu

The Metamorphosis
Ficciones
Candid
The Chairs
White Noise
Tender Buttons
Read his short stories
The Master and Margarita
Faust
Paradise Lost
I can't find anything else.
Unless we include genre fiction which would be:
Solomon Kane
Kane by Karl Edward Wagner
Roadside Picnic
Crime & Punishment
For whom the bell tolls
Ubiq
Being & Time
The Stranger
Hells Angles
Lie down in darkness
Pimp
I'm also thinking of the American Language by H.L. Mencken and the Gold Bug Variations
Being & Time sounds like it might be right up my alley. Ubik maybe for the sci-fi side of genre fiction.
Dostoyevsky and Hemingway I'm not a fan of.
The Stranger maybe.
Those Phill Dyck books are so much more than pulpy sci-fi... The Valis series especially as well as Ubik and Palmer Eldrich
Heidegger and Dostoevsky are the modern Apollo and Dynosis respectively for me ...
I love menkin too... not familiar with gold bug
Being and Nothingness
No one cares, faggot.
>Thus Spoke Zarathustra
>Crime and Punishment
>Brave New World
>The Stranger
>Why Nations Fail
>Misbehaving
>Genealogy of Morality
>Don Quixote
Except when you consider that Dostoyevsky was writing himself out of gambling debt.
Heidegger I see more of a modern Aristotle or Socrates figure in him. Not much so with mythology.
The Ego and its own
no particular order
>House of Leaves
>Only Revolutions
>Demian
>The Picture of Dorian Gray
>Speaker for the Dead
>Ficciones et al.
>The Great Gatsby

Alienation by Rahel Jaeggi. A good and accessible philosophy book outlining a contemporary theory of alienation in the postmodern world.
