Why did you wall of textus with your taste in books? You are not that important.

OK, that would be all.

If you're wondering why there are German and French books, I'm Luxembourger (next to Germany and France), and my native tongue most closely resembles German. But I prefer anglo-saxon literature.

Any suggestions?

>>2444980
No, feel free to sage, I don't care. But there might be someone who likes books and wants to copy this list, or even tell me what I'm missing out on.

I can't help but noticing that you're calling us 'roket-scientists' (or, perhaps, 'rcket-scientists'). This is wrong and I will have no part of it.

tl;dr: Your name for us sucks.

www.harvard.com/onourshelves/top100.html

>>2445013
I'm sorry. Any way to make up for this?

Harlan Ellison's "Deathbird Stories"

Paingod is my fave from that collection. Ellison basically creates a new gods and a myth to accompany each

Neil Gaiman, Patton Oswalt and a few others highly recommend it

There's no way I'm reading through your wall-of-text list, you European bastard.

Here's a short list of books I've enjoyed and think someone else would as well:

The Corpse Walker
One Hundred Years of Solitude
East of Eden
Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal
The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
Love in the Time of Cholera

>>2445032

Superbig thanks! (originally, this was "duly noted", but well..)

>>2444955

Anyone read Call of the Wild? I'm reading it on my iPod, it's pretty interesting but there doesn't seem to be a big plot event yet...doesn't help that I didn't get a back of the book summary or anything

And if you haven't read Catcher in the Rye yet idk if you have enough interest in books to read more than a few of the books on your list; The Catcher in the Rye is a very mainstream popular book...

Godel, Escher Bach.
Must read. Especially for a channer.
Redneck Manifesto.
Apocalypse Culture 1 and 2.
Again, must reads for 4channers (maybe some of it is /b/ heavy) but not stuff you see pop up on lists like these that often.

>>2445048
Oh come on, don't be so ad hominem, you make me wanna cry there :(

Also, Siddartha is the best book on that list that isn't catch 22.

>>2445077
>don't be so ad hominem

Once you obtain all of these books I'm going to kill you and steal them.

I just want you to know that.

>>2445069

What can I say, I've spent my childhood mostly reading German books. I mean, have you read Faust by Goethe, or Tod in Venedig by Mann? You probably haven't, but still I don't judge, because it's just not your native tongue.

I love books, and right now, I want to indulge in English/American literature. Just haven't had the time to do so until now.

Just sayin'.

>>2445096

You can buy most of them at a very modest price, considering their age.

Zen and the art.. will give you a good taste of American culture (roadtrips, technology) it's the new Walden. "On the road" is good too (more roads, basically sparked the current american teenage dream: drugs, chicks, party, woo!)

>>2445138
So, I can't make it through Zen. My dad recommended it. He recommended lots of good books, but reading a father son book recommended by your father is almost as uncomfortable as sitting next to him the car when Mike And The Mechanics come on the radio.

>>2445267
even worse, the son got stabbed to death IRL as mentioned in the epilogue

okay so skip that one, def hit "On the Road". I hated it but recognize its value and heavy influence on 60's american culture

>>2445284
On The Road was another Catcher In The Rye experience for me.
Even though I read it as a young teenager, so much of the popular culture I had been into up to that point was heavily derivative of these works, so they actually fell flat for me. Despite recognising their fine writing.

Gormenghast trilogy seems to be missing from your list.

>>2445661
I really want to read the gormenghast trilogy, the author having gone insane while writing it has an alluring element for me. next summer, I will attempt to read it, this I vow.

>>2445687
It's hysterically funny and somewhat unsettling too. Enjoy!

is that it? just fiction? pffff

a lot of novels are pretty much about the same thing. if you spent half as much time reading even just the back of some of the books you listed as you evidently have spent typing that shit out for 4chan, you'd be able to cross a hell of a lot off the list. E.g., theres only so many books about american expats in 1920s paris you can read before getting sick of the whole concept.

tl;dr: you can narrow the list down. by a lot.

Fuck yeah Mrs Dalloway!
I'm not reading you big ass list, but if you don't have these add them, they're all by Vonnegut cause I have much love for the man.
Breakfast of Champions
God Bless you, Mr. Rosewater (My favorite book :D)
SlaughterHouse-Five
and lots of people would say Cat's Cradle too, but I didn't like that too much
Uh and for some unrelated shit read A Scanner Darkly, the book is so much more amazing (and easier to follow) than the movie
yeah so
Get on that shit
FUCK YEAH MRS.DALLOWAY

>>2445802
At some time, I just want all these books to be in my home library (as soon as I live alone, still at college right now), and I want my children to grow up with them. I've grown up with books, too, but mostly German ones, since my parents don't speak/read English that well.

>>2445859
I've only read Slaughterhouse-Five by Vonnegut, and I absolutely loved it. It fucked with my mind (kind of).

-----------

Different question: what book on that list makes you most uncomfortable? I got into 1984 thinking 'oh yeah that book was written like 60 years ago, I bet it doesn't impress no one anymore', but shit, that thing was really making me uneasy.

Pic not related, but I guess I have your attention now.

>>2446478
Madame Bovary did for me. Because she is so annoying and it just never stops. I had not expected that.

>>2446478
Not sure if it's on the list:

Nausea by Sartre made me ill almost vomitty a couple times

granted, I was a sheltered 17 year old and had never seen the internet at it's finest (necro-gore fucking FTW), so I have no idea what effect it would have on me now.

>>2446575

lol nice. I've put it on my list.

>>2446478

>pic

Jesus! Man, come on, not cool. DDDDD:

>>2446515

Madam Bovary sucked. I honestly don't see the appeal of the book, nor do I see why it's considered classic or canon. Not only is it boring, but the main character is an idiot who constantly makes really really stupid choices, and doesn't do much else besides that. What's the point?!

1984 on the other hand, was genuinely scary, and disturbingly prophetic. That's a book I'll be giving to my kids when they're teenagers... if it's not outlawed by then.

>>2446847
What time is it where you live? Dark-outside-time, much?

xD (lol "xD")

Okay holy shit if you can read German I sincerely hope you've read everything by Kafka, because goddamn I would kill for the ability to read his stuff in German.

Those are all good picks on the list, not surprisingly, but they lack any sense of nuance. What I mean by that is that you have great representatives of Modernist lit (Dalloway) but nothing really drenched in Modernist style (heart of darkness, for instance, is conspicuously absent). My problem with that is that you'll never discover the slightly weaker, but immensely entertaining offshoots and precursors to these "classics." I mean, you're gonna miss out on sex like "The Picture of Dorian Gray," and that's just sad.

For that reason, I'd highly recommend reading that list until you find a book that you really enjoy, and then taking a break to search for its contemporary titles. They may not be as proficiently written or universally appealing, but I think you'll end up enjoying the experience a lot more.

Lastly, lemme just say it's fucking awesome to see Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Class on that list. I even had high school teachers try to tell me that book is "just about drugs, right?" and it's always very disappointing to hear.

OP, why do you think those books are good?

>>2446879
For it's time, Madam Bovary displayed a level of sexuality/promiscuity that was honestly revolutionary. It essentially began the entire Realist genre, and to this day it's use of realism is considered extremely bold and compelling.

However, like Mrs. Dalloway, a lot of people find it boring precisely because it feels so restrained (and isn't nearly as shocking today as it was in the past). If you want to appreciate it, you really have to focus on the author's use of language. If you pay attention, you can really see how Realist writing is a crazy balancing act between restraint and extreme complexity.

I hate people who strive to read all the 'classics' as if having read them makes them look smart or interesting.

I have a lot more respect for people who move from book to book based on their interests. You don't have to read a specific set of books to be 'well read'.

>>2444996
A Luxemburger sounds fucking delicious. That is all.

>>2446968
>I even had high school teachers try to tell me that book is "just about drugs, right?"
>high school teachers
>just about drugs, right?

I just exploded with rage. I just turned in my final paper for Literary Criticism on Alice in Wonderland, there's so much more to it than people give it credit for!

I love Lewis Carroll, thank you for including him in your list.

Oh, how funny, I just read White Noise for that class too, it's pretty good! Catch-22, Hitch-hikers, East of Eden/Grapes of Wrath, Neuromancer? I think I'm in love with you.

>The Great Gatsby (F. Scott Fitzgerald)

Why is it that this book is so widely praised? I read it not long ago and it was the most boringly written, mind numbing pile of shite I've ever experienced.

I finished reading it to see what happens at the end. Not much, it turns out.

>>2447070
Your French & German lists make me so envious, I wish I could read those books in their original language. Hell, I'm learning Italian now partially because of Dante's Inferno :'D German is next on my list of languages though, so someday I'll be able to read Nietzsche in his original language!

>>2447080
Personally, when I read Great Gatsby I hated it. It's only now, 5 years later, that I look back and want to read it again, this time for myself rather than for any class.

>>2447099

I was the same. I basically didn't bother with it in school and managed to scrape a pass based on notes I found on the internet. I wish I didn't go back and try to read it properly.

I did the same for To Kill a Mockinbird, but I loved it on my second read through.

OP, you forgot Lanark: a Life in 4 Books by Alasdair Gray.

Seriously. It's as much a great book as "One Hundred Years of Solitude". It's amazing.

No Haruki Murakami?

Come on man, his stuff is all modern classics.

srsly,
even if you read everyday, you won't get to read 2% of all published material in the world

stick to the books that you enjoy

fkin reading iz 4 fgts

lrn 2 telewishn tards

>>2446968

I have already read Heart of Darkness and Dorian Gray (loved the, the Wilde on a bit more).

BTW, there are some other books that *are* on the list, that I nonetheless will read again. E.g., I had to read "Un amour de Swann" by Proust in high-school, like 3 years ago, but my French level wasn't sufficiently high to understand it in its entirety, so I just read it in German instead of French before the final exam. Now, I have been studying law in the French-speaking part of Belgium for the past 1 1/2 years, and I'm definitely planning on reading it in its original language.

Concerning Kafka, I've read several short stories and the novella "Die Verwandlung (The Metamorphosis)", liked the mind-fucking of it and plan now to read all the rest. I actually bought "Das Schloss (The Castle)" 4 years ago, but still haven't read it.

>>2447080

My younger brother of 17 read it several weeks ago and also told me it was quite boring, but that there was a lot of standing around at classy parties. I like that. If it bores me too much, I can still put it away.

>>2447520
CONT.

>>2447091

I, too, want to read the Divine Comedy (it's on my list). Too bad I don't speak Italian, so I've chosen the German translation, because it's the language I understand best (same for Niccolo Machiavelli's "Il Principe", "The Prince" in English, "Der Fuerst" in German).

>>2447136

Put it on the list, thanks.

>>2447236

I've actually read the German translation of "Umibe no Kafuka" (Kafka on the Shore, or Kafka am Strand in German). I enjoyed it, but this also was when I was about 17, so I might have been a bit young to fully appreciate it. Might re-read it.

>>2447277

How can I know what I'll like beforehand?
