How much have you read?

If you didn't get trips I would have told you to fuck off.

>slaughter house 5
>plato's 5 dialogues
>the stranger
>thus spoke Zarathustra


Those are all pretty short. I'd suggest catch-22 but ur a faggot who doesn't want long books.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

Can Life Prevail?

I read quite a bit but the last 2 years I just fell into cycle of cheap and easy to get entertainment when im not doing work related stuff

thanks for the recommendations either way

ill check it out

I feel you, man. I graduated with a literature degree two years ago and have probably only read 3 or 4 (short) books since. I feel dumber and less confident in being able to express myself intellectually all the time.

Infinite jest

Just take a cheapest zen koan book

Judging from this post, I think most things will challenge you intellectually.

John Hawkes is usually pretty short but can be a challenging read
Same with Beckett’s novels
Gaddis’s Carpenter’s Gothic is unusually short for him

Read Kants Critique of Pure Reason, and we will see how much of a man you are then.

The Ambassadors

greek philosophy will fuck your shit up

Maybe if you’re a retarted lanklet

I didint expect this much response thanks everyone for the recommendations I really appreciate it.

Anything by Thomas Bernhard
Anything by Samuel Beckett
Against Nature by Huysmans
Cane by Jean Toomer

Anything by Cormac McCarthy, but probably Blood Meridian. Short book, but dense as hell.

Ego and its own

I liked the first half. God's a badass with a fluctuating personality and tendency to go for broke when he doesn't get his way. Loved it. Jesus, not so much. Sorry.

Pale Fire

Crying of Lot 49

The very hungry caterpillar would be challenging for a **tard like you
