Don't really have a schedule layed out but what the heck
>The Dunciad (5 days) >An Essay on Criticism (3 days) >Sir Thomas Browne (3 days) >Eloisa to Abelard (2 days) >Philip Sidney (5 days) >Edmund Spencer (4 days) >The Rape of the Lock (9 days)
That's about a month of reading
Aaron Kelly
You could spend your entire summer on each of the writers you've listed. Literature isn't a race, it's not a ladder, it's a web, and deep friendship with thirty books is better than acquaintance with a thousand. You don't want my opinion, but if you did, I'd suggest focusing all your energy on Dostoevsky, Hume, or Schopenhauer. You won't be able to read Marx for twelve days straight.
Dylan Gomez
>>Ivan Turgenev Now that's based. Make sure to read Father and Sons
Gavin Sullivan
Ok maybe i should extend Kant kek, that does sound dumb
>literature is a web That's why I'm trying to read widely user, to understand others' viewpoints.
I read Fathers and Sons, probably gonna read his other books. I read a bit of Diary of a Superfluous Man (was busy and left it off) and think it'll be a nice read.
Bentley Martinez
For me, seeing lists like these are the surest sign no reading will get done. When I find myself making such lists I know I'm more interested in the abstract idea of reading these things than actually reading them.
Brayden Bailey
I'm not sure this is even possible user
Luke Harris
My list is going to be: >Bleak House-Dickens >Sodom and Gammora-Proust >Master of Go-Kawabata >Naked Lunch-Burroughs >Anna Karenina-Tolstoy >Being and Time-Heidegger >The Magic Mountain-Mann
I also have my eye on two Huysman books but no idea which one of his would be a good starting place.
Jack White
Also going to read The Fugitive by Proust
Ian Sanchez
What do you think understanding other people's viewpoints will do for you?
Cameron Butler
>On a Winter's Night a Traveler >Flashman >Maybe Illuminatus idk >Being and Time >Capital 1 & 2 (will probably get 3 soon) >Rise and Fall of the Third Reich >Human Action >The General Theory of Interest, Employment and Money
Christopher Myers
I don't even know what I'm going to read tomorrow (after I finish the man who was Thursday) let alone all summer.
Jeremiah Nelson
Help form my own
Levi Phillips
Rest of June >Augustus >The Ballad of the Sad Cafe >O Pioneers >Gilead July >The Man Without Qualities August >The Glass Bead Game >The Magic Mountain September >Auto Da Fe >My Friend Walter Benjamin
Luke Thompson
Pathetic. Just mull over this terrible reading list of yours during the summer, maybe you'll actually learn something
Jack Evans
Heres a discord server that is lit related that have people who want to start reading lists for the summer
Enjoy The Glass Bead Game. I recently read it after finishing Narziss and Goldmund and wound up loving it. I'll suggest getting The Master of Go too since there are similarities between both stories. The Man Without Qualities is something I want to tackle this year too. How is Augustus compared to Stoner and Butcher's Crossing?
Camden Murphy
What I'm trying to say is understanding Hume just isn't possible in a weekend. If you want a crash course in all the thinkers/writers you've listed, you're better served by just reading their Wikipedia page and whacking off all Saturday. Reduce that list by two thirds at minimum. Hell, Dostoevesky's core books -- Demons, Brothers K., Crime and Punishment, The Gambler, Notes from the Underground, The Idiot, The Double -- easily go over 3k pages. And that's not to mention the background research you'll need to do to really interpret his theology/ethics. My advice is to chop this list down to three or four writers and go deep.
Zachary Morris
the highest IQ take yet in this whole thread
Ethan Carter
Not who you're responding to, but I've read everything he's written. >Williams' first novel so atrocious that no one remembers its name and no one wants to bring it into print >Butcher's Crossing Decent. Not good, not bad. The scene where the first snow starts to fall while they're in the buffalo valley is one of the most heart-pounding things I've ever read, so props. Predictable ending. >Stoner Flawlessly executed. Tight, well-paced, lucid prose. >Augustus I didn't think he could've written a novel better than Stoner, but this is a masterpiece of contemporary fiction. Truly. His best book. It's worth dropping what you're reading now to read Augustus instead.
Jack Davis
Read too much and you wont remember shit, its better to take notes and take your time especially with philosophers
Angel Flores
What did you think of the scene with Scheinder and the rope?
Alright, I guess? Butcher's Crossing felt like Williams tried to make Literature out of a Hollywood idea. He should've just written a cowboy thriller.
Easton Torres
The scenes were they have to ditch the hide and are running low are food are some of my favourites in Butcher's Crossing but you're right there's something very Hollywood happy ending about how the main character goes back and fucks Francine.
Wyatt Scott
Stop watching anime.
Easton Gomez
Just crack some cold ones with your bros
Ryder Garcia
you will have forgotten everything marx wrote by the time you finish Kant.
Gavin Perry
also, remember these great minds spent years developing their ideas. So expecting to absorb all that in 1 summer exposes an immaturity that's out of touch with reality
Camden Green
They also worked on making them accessible in a digestible manner (except Kant)
Landon Morgan
it will go something like this
>fap and play video games (62 days) >panic and read a chapter of the stranger, get bored and fap again (13 days) >last day: read 1 chapter of thus spoke zarathustra, can't see yourself reading it all and then fapping some more
Sebastian Smith
add shitposting, discussing and lurking on Yea Forums and listening to music to that list and you've got my summer.
Luke Russell
Hmm maybe you're right, I think I'll cut it down before summer starts, early greeks, pessoa and some others are unnecessary
Ofc I will be taking notes lol, especially on the non fiction
Carson Brown
I haven’t read Butchers Crossing but Stoner and Augustus are very different. I’m 100 pages in after two days and about the only similarity I see is that Octavian and Stoner have similar stoic responses to grieving (full of sorrow but they have to keep going. They have other duties.)
I am enjoying it even though I know the basics of the story from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra
Camden Harris
kek
Noah Barnes
This. Overambitions lists like these are pure mental masturbation.
Jaxon Miller
I’ve got >Interpretation of Dreams >Imperium >Archeofuturism >The Sublime Object of Ideology >Can Life Prevail >Man and Technics >Ethnos and Society
>Rest of Plato's works (done the main works) >Hopefully get into Aristotle this year as well(where to start?) >Finish the Sailor who fell from Grace with Sea and read a few of Mishima's other works (not the tetralogy just yet) >Start some other good fiction as I have been mainly reading psychology and philosophy (recommendations?) >Race >The Culture of the Teutons >about 6 other smaller ones
Some of these I have started others not at all.
Adam Moore
Based and anti-degeneratepilled
Jose Powell
>and the number of days I want to spend on each Thats fucking autistic as fuck nigger
>Finish Current Stirner read( The Unique and Its Property) >Read Schopenhauer's WAWI & WAWII (already read thesis and On Nature Essay) >Stoner >#Accelerate >Fanged Noumena >Cyclonopedia >Descartes Meditations >Leibnz Monadology and from here either delve into more /acc bullshit or finish off Kant
It'll take you a lifetime to read Marx, and another to read Kant. People actually do this, they spend their entire lives reading one of these two authors. The timetables you've set up are more fitting for reading fiction.
Ryder Carter
My list for this summer:
Man without qualities (about halfway through) The Sleepwalkers Death of Virgil Joseph and His Brothers (read the first two parts so far, I am waiting to get the final two parts as they didn't have them in my library) Berlin Alexanderplatz Ulysses
Jason Gomez
My list is pretty varied this year >The Red and The Black >Berlin Alexanderplatz >Infinite Jest >Ben-Hur >C&P
