It is fucking Monday here. I have fucking school mate. My favourite is American Psycho but i have only read about like 6 books from there

Favorite: Notes from the Underground
Least: Catcher in the poopoohole yeeeeehhaaawwwwwwwwww whoop whoooop!!!

The Great Gatsby and The Catcher in the Rye. Both a total disservice to mankind.

>Favorite
Lolita
>Least
Probably Sailor. I'm so torn on it. Hated it when I read it and was disappointed with the ending. Everytime I look back on it, I think of how great some of the scenes were.

Last book I finished was Dune. It was alright to pretty good. I kept going on the SF track with Neuromancer and Jesus does it make me miss Frank Herbert.

Also finished pic related, kino btw.

Favorite is Hamlet, least favorite maybe 1984 (don't dislike it though). I haven't read a few of them. I was thinking of re-reading Of Mice and Men soon.

Just finished Catcher for the 5th time. Realized I didn't get it *at all* when I read it the first time (around 13 years old). I remember finishing the book and thinking it was actually about nothing. Like it was just a kid talking about stuff for no particular reason. At the time, I loved it for that.

I loved Dubliners, though I wouldn't class it as my favourite.
This quote has always stuck with me: 'I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity...'
I was reading Dubliners while on holiday in Dublin with my ex gf. We went to visit all the locations mentioned in the book which made it that more vivid. I remember we visited the James Joyce Centre there before walking through the city back to the hotel in the evening. When we got back I read Araby to her out loud and we both cried when I got to that quote. It's just such a pithy, simple statement but it expresses such deep feeling it's unbelievable. As writers who had written on the same theme me and my ex gf were ashamed to have been outclassed so thoroughly by a simple sentence like that, since we had spent pages and pages on it and never came near to that level of profundity.

I haven't read all of them, but my least favorite by far is Camus, best is tie between Kafka (more philosophically interesting) and Nabakov (incredibly smoothly and well written, reading it is pure joy)

I read only 8 of those and my least favorite would be The Hobbit
Fight me

1. Hamlet
2. Lolita
3. The Metamorphosis
4. Dubliners
Those four are actually major favorites of mine and I have trouble picking between them.
5. Brave New World
6. 1984
7. Catch-22
8. The Stranger
9. Notes From Undeground
10. Of Mice and Men
11. The Hobbit
12. Catcher in the Rye
Loathe those last three.

Of the ones I've read, the top three are Great Gatsby, Catch-22, and TCoL49. Notes from Underground is not that good. I'm surprised how overrated it is. Dubliners is good too

My favorite is probably Lolita, though I’ve read Dubliners the most times. Least favorite, maybe 1984, tho I still enjoyed it.

Last book I finished was The Screwtape Letters. It was pretty damn good in my opinion, but took some thinking to reverse everything in my mind and understand what he was getting at. Even just as a work of fiction it is pretty entertaining. I also recently finished all of the stories by Borges. I first started reading him maybe 2 years ago.

can we stop pretending american highschool core belongs on any lit lists

notes from underground, undoubtedly the best imo. catch 22, lolita, death of ivan, lot 49, amer. psycho are the next best ones
the last book i finished was Günter Grass' The Tin Drum. It was quite wild. Very strange the way it reads. I often had to reread passages, which is not a bad thing. From most of the books ive read, it feels as one of the most memorable scene-wise. So many "moments", very stylistically told, lots of style pertaining to the psychology of the narrator/author at the moment. Finished this one too in like 2 days. Dont have as much to say about it but it was a nice atmosphere, makes me want to try it out :)

>Favorite: 1984
>Should not be on the list: The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea

>Death of Ivan Ilyich
picked this up randomly at the bookstore (haven't heard of this, new to reading). do i just have a natural nose for kino?

I get No Longer Human being in depressing lit, but it's a really shitty book and shouldn't be on any list beside it
