Campus Novel Thread

I've been binge reading campus novels and I'd like you to recommend me some more. So far I've read Porterhouse Blue; Lucky Jim; Harvard Square; The Secret History; This Side of Paradise (I guess it fits the tag somewhat); and Pnin.

Stoner

white noise

Is it really a campus novel, though?

Not quite "campus" novels, but ones where the college scene features prominently:

The way of all flesh
The adventures of Auggie March
Of Human Bondage
Portrait of the Artist as a young man
The pale king
The corrections
Under western eyes

Wonder Boys

Also, Indignation

i would say not but i can see someone debating that

stoner is the big one that comes to mind.

Isn't The Pale King about a dude working at a company?

There's a novella at the center of it about a college kid finding unironic redemption through studying accounting

Darconville’s Cat

A Separate Peace.

my novel desu

havent read it yet, but Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me by Richard Fariña. Thomas Pynchon dedicated GR to him, if you didnt already know.

The Rules of Attraction

^

Thought you said Camus

Lucky Jim

best answer itt

...

Randall Jarrell's Pictures from an Institution. Also since youve read Lucky Jim, (you) should probably also cap One Fat Englishman.

A Good School by Richard Yates
The Campus Trilogy by David Lodge (Changing Places, Small World, Nice Work)

I've got The Groves of Academe by Mary McCarthy too, but haven't read it yet.

McCarthy is actually satirized in the Jarrell book above your post. FWIW.

Nabokov's Glory has great depictions of life at Cambridge

Zuleika Dobson. A must.

Except OP already referred to it as a novel he's read. Also, One Fat Englishman's better, i.e. funnier. And that's confining [our]selves to the K Amis oeuvre....

prep
stover at yale
the virgins
tom brown's school days
chocolate war

lawrenceville stories
greyfriars

i'd count stuff like catcher in the rye, map of tulsa, fan's notes

havent read it but old school by wolff looks ok

also, wodehouse

Brideshead Revisited (partially)
Maurice (partially)
Jill by Philip Larkin

First time I've seen Lodge's books mentioned on here. I was just about to suggest them and then I read your post. So, yeah, seconding The Campus Trilogy by David Lodge. Tragically underread these days.

Vineland

The Pale King uses a lot of flashback, some when the protagonist is in accounting school. He works for the IRS

A Separate Peace

>tom brown's school days
Add Stalky & Co. to that

Loner by Teddy Wayne
a little nu-agey at times but overall interesting
