On the Road - Kerouac

Thats all i can think of right now. Really fucking high.

I really enjoy books with melancholic tones, depressing, intense, philosophical, etc. any suggestions?

Stoners are infuriatingly stupid and refuse to confront that by excuse of being "fucking high". Im ready for the swaths of smarmy stoner replies, only to emphasize my point.

Spinoza Ethics
Lispector The Passion According to GH

Hey, fuck you man.

The Brothers Karamazov
Moby Dick
Complete Works of Plato

War and Peace

Notes from the underground - dostoevsky
a dogs heart - mikael bulgakov

replace heidegger with kierkegaard, and thar she blows for me.

>The Book of Margery Kempe
>either Nussbaum's The Fragility of Goodness or Murdoch's Sovereignty of the Good

Capek - War with the newts
Huxley - BNW

The Master and Margarita, Mikhail Bulgakov
Four Quartets, TS Eliot
The Pisan Cantos, Ezra Pound
Gravity and Grace, Simone Weil
Henry IV, Parts I and II, William Shakespeare

The Secret Agent by Conrad. It's time to move out of dystopian lit.

A Hero of Our Time by Lermontov or Evgeny Onegin by Pushkin. Time to read Russian lit that isn't Tolstoevsky

Gene Wolfe - Book of the New Sun
H.D. - Trilogy
T.S. Eliot - The Four Quartets
John Gardner - Grendel
Ovid (Mandelbaum) - Metamorphoses

Robert Penn Warren - Brother to Dragons if you want another book (play) made out of dialogue.

I need to read more essay collections

Adler - Speedboat
Deleuze and Guattari - A Thousand Plateaus
Hegel - Encylopedia of the Philosophical Sciences Pt. 1
Delilo - White Noise
Tulathimutte - Private Citizens

If you want more essays, try Eliot's Christianity and Culture. It's pretty good, and it's pretty much what he was trying to express in The Waste Land in an essay form.

Oryx and Crake

The Categories, Eugene Onegin

The Castle by Franz Kafka
The Waves by Virgina Woolf
The Tanners by Robert Walser
The Book of Ebenezer Le Page by G.B. Edwards
Gravity and Grace by Simone Weil

Point Counter Point (Huxley)

At the risk of sounding shitty. I only like Eliot for the pretty words. I think he fell apart thematically in the Four Quartets and The Wasteland is a masterwork, but not one that I care about the idea of so much as the technique. I think I'll try out Montaigne, and I got Robert Duncan's H.D. Book which might help me get into it. I appreciate the rec, though, honestly.

why do you ask?

it almost looks as if someone confessing something, and the conversation dwindling.
what's the original?

Why do you care so much?

yes, it's a sad picture.
