>10.Death of Ivan Ilyich
Thats all right friend! Always time to start

projectgutenberg.org

I imagine youve already read this stuff but The Waves by Woolf, The death of virgil by Broch, and Joyce in general.

Meditations by Aurelius, Memoirs of a Superfluous Man by Nock.

bro i didnt even post my list because of how generic it seemed outside a couple books. There are so many classics that it's hard to ever get around to reading anything else.

Also if you havent read them the short story The Overcoat by Gogol, and After Death by Turgenev.

Post it that way we can give recs

alright i will, vaguely descending order of how much i like them

Moby Dick (melville)
The Brothers Karamazov (dosto)
Sartor Resartus (Carlyle)
The Charterhouse of Parma (stendhal)
Salaambo (flaubert)
A hero of our times (lermontov)
War and Peace (tolstoy)
Tess of the d'urbervilles (Hardy)
Les faux-monnayeurs (gide)
L'amant (Duras)

I started reading sometime around October by getting recs from Yea Forums charts so about 95% i've read are pretty commonly being discussed/recommended here. I wonder if I am missing by not reading some more contemporary stuff (21st century lit). Or should I just continue trying to get a good grasp on the classics. About gogol I have his short story collections and dead souls in pb so I will be reading him soon.

Carpenter's Gothic by William Gaddis

Idylls of the King by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

All fantastic books, good choices from what I know

Mine:
>Moby-Dick
>The Brothers Karamazov
>Lolita
>Crime and Punishment
>The Trial
>Father’s and Sons
>Madame Bovary
>One Hundred Years of Solitude
>For Whom the Bell Tolls
>A Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man

Have you read Wise Blood?

As I lay dying
Kafka on the shore
The trial
Ticket to the stars
The ravishing of lol Stein
Crime and punishment

>>A Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man
I am about too actually, I already own it.

Yea Forums veers towards old classics for a number of reasons. There is definite value in more recent stuff but you also can't really go wrong reading those older books, they will broaden your understanding of life a lot and they have been selected through the ages and remembered for how good they are.

and yeah Gogol is great based on your other picks i think youll like him

>this lists are what people waste their time on reading
Yikes
