This Side of Paradise is better.
Amerika is definitely underrated but I like The Castle that extra bit more. Everyone either raves about The Trial or The Metamorphosis but The Castle or Amerika rarely receive much attention.
Butcher's Crossing is way more entertaining than Stoner in my opinion.

Love Amerika, hate that it's not even near finished. Correct sentiment.
Lincoln Roberts
Tender Is The Night is better.

i think it's probably the weakest of his novels but i really really loved this one too
the ship, the darkened house party, and the occidental hotel were really surreal-comfy. there's a sense of boyish adventure here that kafka's other stuff ignores altogether.
Tyler Morales
Really unquestionably best but B & D is alot of fun to read
Eli Kelly
i also love this book. i think it's stupid to say it's better than infinite jest but it's extremely clever and does well balancing these banal young adult stories with a substratum of cryptic philosophical mystery.
Sebastian Thomas
Gavin Parker
Good but really diffuse so not the compact masterpiece M & D is. I am glad there's someone out there who likes this one best, however-- it deserves more love. My personal favorite's V.

Believe it or not. Blithedale second.

Very well said.
I still need to read this. I read most of his nonfiction after finishing IJ but moved to other stuff without checking out Broom of the System.

This is absolute brilliance, one of the few novels that blew my mind (forgive my triteness). Woolf weaves through time, space, and norms with stunning deftness.
William Long
Damn I didn't even know he wrote a play
Colton Green
Absalom, Absalom!
John Cook
Undeniable, it's very likely the great American novel

Who doesn’t want to be Dick & Nicole Diver (at the beginning of the book)? Comfiest couple ever.
From the same period, supposed to be An American Tragedy, but in the spirit of this thread I’d say Sister Carrie is better. Has anyone here read Dreiser? I see very little discussion of late 19th century American and English literature on Yea Forums, which I always think is a shame.
