>a bunch of books about the manhattan project for a research paper.
It was fun learning about how much fucking work it was keeping 3 cities secret and self-sufficient, but I wish I could have used primary sources in my paper, Those were far more interesting.
>currently reading.
>The Crucible by Arthur Miller
I hate it, Im only reading it because I liked death of a salesman, but so far the crucible has themes that I have not experienced, nor probably ever will, so I couldn't be assed to care. The characters are hyper-manipulative, or downright crazy, except Proctor really, no hint of subtlety
>reading next
I dunno, probably the Theban plays. If not that maybe a Jane Austen novel, if not that, probably Walden, If not that, I have no clue

1. Crime and Punishment and Ubik
2. A bunch. Trying Tractatus, On Grammatology and rereading Don Quixote, but I find those books really dry. Really liked Kolyma Tales but never finished it. I also already read a bit of psychology for school. I usually just end up reading garbage WNs because my attention span is awful.
3. Either/or. Technically started it, but just the first essay, so not far enough to count.

Previous: Lost Nation by Jeffery Lent
McCarthy ripoff that was mostly enjoyable til the last 50 odd pages. The author had set up a neigh unredeemable protag quite well. The main character had raped his daughter during a drunken idiot death spiral and fled his life afterwards in guilt and shame. He spends the whole book self-flagellating himself in penitence for this horrible thing and then it comes to pass that he didn't ACTUALLY rape his daughter, he just Thought He Did. Very stupid, very silly conclusion. And the final gunfight at the end was also bad. Prose was fun to read though.
Currently Reading: Orlando by Virginia Woolf
Extremely enjoyable, easy read, surprisingly funny. I can't believe I've been sleeping on Woolf until now. Very exited to continue.
Next up: Homage to Catalonia by Orwell
I recently read Orwell's Down and Out in London and Paris and really enjoyed his non-fiction writing there. I've also had a passing interest in the Spanish Civil War for a while and figure Homage will be a good way to get a bit more of both.

>What's the last book you read?
The Netanyahus by Joshua Cohen

Flashman so goddamn good. Lookup the flashman papers omnibus on zlibrary and read them chronologically.If you do ereaders, that is

1. The suffering of Prince Sternenhoch
2. Oblomov
3. Labyrinth of the world and paradise heart

1. Momo: The Strange Case of the Missouri Monster

2. The Phantom of the Opera

3. Flashman

1. The tunnel by gass
2. Nightside of the long sun - Wolfe
3. Not quite sure, maybe some Beckett or more Gass

Ivan Illich - Deschooling Society

B.F.Skinner - Beyond Freedom & Dignity

Not sure, possibly Sigmund Freud - Civilization And Its Discontents

A Temple of Text

Hamlet

Rimbaud

>Confessions of a mask

Absolutely loved it. Very sad though but very relatable.

>To the lighthouse

This novel feels like a sensory experience, almost something you can touch. Woolf's ability to write about mundanity is admirable in itself. Everything is so beautiful, so frail, so fleeting. The characters have such a rich inner life and the drama is so interesting, especially because it only occurs in their heads. I'm only 120 pages in and in the beginning, I found it boring but I've warmed up to the characters and love it.

After this, I'm going to read some easy to read mystery because I've read a lot of literary plotless novels back to back and I want to read something a little less taxing.

>1. What's the last book you read?

It's okay but I just can't stop now. Autistic boomer can't stop talking about breeding every 4 pages.

The Mantle - Gogol
Taras Bulba - Gogol
Dead Souls&Diary of a Madman - Gogol
I'm on a Gogol binge. There's something about his way of writing that's extremely amusing to me.

Tirant lo blanc is a good book. Cervantes respected it, I'll search the reference if you don't trust my word

1: A Clash of Kings
2: A Storm of Swords
3: A Feast for Crows

1. Permutation City
2. The Forever War
3. Finish either Moby Dick or Lovecraft's complete collection

Norwegian Wood
The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Dubliners

>future: Some Shakespearean comedies maybe?
They're delightful. Comedy of Errors is great introduction. Intro speech is a hurdle, after that you get a fast flowing situational comedy. Twelfth Night and Midsummer Nights Dream are his best. Troilus and Cressida should be considered a proper dark comedy as well. Irony at the forefront. One of his least appreciated works.

Double Feature Edition

>1. What's the last book you read?
Thucydides, The Peloponnesian War; and Don Kagan's history of the same name

>2. What's the book you're reading right now?
Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T.E. Lawrence; and Dune

>3. What book are you planning to read next?
back to the classics with collections of either Aristophanes or Euripides, paired with Hanson's The Western Way of War

1. L'homme qui regardait passer les trains
2. Monkey
3. Don quixote

Thanks for the insight. I was considering Midsummer Night's Dream as a starting point, but Comedy of Errors is also in the anthology I have, so I'll try that first. I saw a great performance of As You Like It a while back that made me want to give some of his other comedies a shot.

>last book
Storm of Steel

idk, I might return to the Bible, or some Doszto, or the Anabasis

Cheers fellow Thucydides enjoyers
