Not him, but I also read Faust. First of all I am German, so I can't give you any details on translations.
I highly recommend it. The story is interesting, but its the overall morals and ideas goethe presents in the novel that are really interesting. Also the whole thing is written in ryhmes. We have read parts of it in school and at that time (I think I was 14) I didn't really like it. I reread it recently and I fucking loved it.

It is one of the greatest German literature ever written! Read it!
Also I am not sure if it would be worth it to try to find a translation with ryhms. I am just not sure if it would work out. So either go for a direct translation or try learning German for it.

1. Sanctuary- William Faulkner
2. Nineteen Eighty-Four- George Orwell
3. On the Road- Jack Kerouac
4. The Piano Teacher- Elfriede Jelinek
5. Ethan Frome- Edith Wharton
6. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay- Michael Chabon
7. The Snow Leopard- Peter Matthiessen
8. The Awakening and Other Stories- Kate Chopin
9. Othello- William Shakespeare
10. Mockingjay- Suzanne Collins

Enjoyed all of them, (yes, even Mockingjay) except "One the Road". Kerouac is a piece of shit. Also, "The Snow Leopard" was really fucking boring.

>>2111302

If you're not bothered by pulpy titles, read Old Man's War by John Scalzi, or Fuzzy Nation by the same author. I think you'll like it.

>>2111507
Sorry I'm new to /lit/ what to you mean by pulpy titles?
>>2111488
I will look in to them. What kind of books are they? I read roadside because it was sugested to me because i like urban fantasy, Hence why half the books I read were urban fantasy.

>>2111570
Oh, the only one of those I was suggesting for you was Definitely Maybe. The others were my own last ten.

I'm not sure if it really fits the urban fantasy thing though. It reads a lot like a Twilight Zone episode.

>>2111574
After i posted i caught that I said them when i ment one. so disregared my them because I suck cocks.

Lighthearted comedy & fantasy. Similar to his Sandman series but not as dark and aimed at a younger audience.

Sorry for the late response, my internet is very unreliable.

>>2113835
This was a followup to American Gods. I wouldn't call it light or comedy. In my opinion it treats some very similar themes as Sandman, but in a more mature way.
