Stoner and Lolita are the two books that come to mind when going just purely by the sheer joy of reading the prose.
Dominic Harris
Rabbit Run or The Centaur by John Updike
Brandon Gutierrez
Don DeLillo's Underworld has gotta have some of my favorite content if we're going purely by really nice prose. He's the master of word economy. You can pick out any isolated sentence from that book and go "what a good sentence"
Ryan Cook
right, but the book as a whole kind of sucks. here with yesterday's news that "late capitalism" is a drag, mr. don delillo.
Liam Thomas
Just read mccarthy bro
Jack Cooper
Eh I think the last 2 parts could have been trimmed down considerably but overall I really enjoyed a lot of the plot threads
Kayden Howard

Luis Rodriguez

Angel Perez
Even though I may hate him on a personal level, as far as narration technique (although he needed a better editor to cut about 25 pages, esp: re: the rejection letter he [she]gets), "Atonement" is the best book of the past....30-40 years.
Brandon Taylor
re: "atonement," think about how many questions it raises....just as you are about to get angry at her for being a selfish, lying cunt, she makes the very valid point that without her, their story would not even exist on paper.
The movie was...it could have been better but the one
"Dunkirk" scene was worth the candle.

Nabakov was a repulsive human being on a whole number of levels. Solzhenisytsye n rightly hated his guts. I hate that Juden Peterson has made Solzhenitsyn so popular that the Jews have managed to bury his entire underground body of anti-Jewish work.
