>The Wind Up Bird Chronicle
how was it? whenever I hit up youtube for Murakami reviews it seems to be mostly art hoes with aposematic bangs, whereas Mishima seems to attract /fit/ brahs, so I'm kinda wary of Murakami.
>Sufism & Taoism
sounds interesting, how would you rate?
>cairo trilogy
Mahfouz is a genius.
Lattimore for Homer, Dryden for Virgil, Golding for Ovid
22
The Opposing Shore
Little, Big
Story of the Eye
The Blind Owl
Silence
Reading stories by Akutagawa right now, and planning to read Woman in the Dunes next, I might just keep going with more Japanese stuff, Silence was great, as were Kokoro and No Longer Human, haven't read anything by Mishima yet but he's on my list too, along with Tanizaki and Kawabata. If anybody has more obscure recs I'd appreciate it.
This is cool, I hope you're not just doing it for erudition points, I know that's why I would've read that stuff at that age, but I gave up a third of the way through the Iliad. I'm only just now trying to finish it, Aeneid and Odyssey are on my list too (trying to read some classics and some modern stuff simultaneously). I'm a poorfag though and I can't find a satisfactory translation of the Aeneid for free so I might have to just buy the Fitzgerald translation, anyone know if it's worth it?

Reading Wilde this summer has really awakened my desire to read, more than I ever have before. Planning on finishing the Quran soon and corresponding the late Antiquity part of the canon with Muslim philosophers. Interested in ancap for the concepts, I’ll probably learn more about economics from there. I’m trying to be a bloomer, I’ve been more creative lately
