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.
