Top 3 favorite authors. I'll start:

Mann
Gogol
Fitzgerald

>1.Hem2.Dick3.Well
No he doesn't.

Shelley
Nabokov
Proust

I only like one author, and that would be my man Gogol Fitzgerald

Chesterton
Shakespeare
Dickens

Hesse
Dostoyevski
Camus

Joyce
Faulkner
McCarthy

I only have two, and one of them is more of an anime director despite writing novelizations of all his pre-2000 works.
So, Tomino and Clarke.

I chuckled

Harris
Hitchens
Dawkins

Moses
John
Jung

>Three least favourite authors that I've barely read
1.Dickens

I have a question. How do I into Faulkner? I tried with the Sound and the Fury, but its just too dense. It beat me and I had to take a break which I still have come back from. Been reading everything but him.

Krasznahorkai
Houellebecq
Gaddis

great taste

Start with The Unvanquished or something similar that is written in a more conventional style. Do NOT start with the Sound and the Fury. Maybe go from your starting point to Absalom, Absalom! and then on to As I Lay Dying.

Probably Joyce, Pessoa and McCarthy

Thanks man, I'll check those out

My absolute favourite is Samuel Johnson. I'm not sure who I would rank as number 2 or 3.

Bernhard
Faulkner
McCarthy

Dostoevsky
Tolstoy
Dumas

Harris
Dawkins
Hitchens

Wallace
Gaddis
Pynchon

Schmidt
Döblin
Kafka

Get fucked anglos

Come back to him later. Same thing happened when I tried reading Ulysses in high school.

Stover
Nietzsche
Shakespeare

Not really

Dostoyevski
Tolstoy

this but unironically

Honestly, what I did was read Sound and the Fury (I know other anons are telling you not to - and they're probably right) first. I gave up on my first try, but fortunately, my year 2 american literature class studied it. After revisiting it with the help of training wheels, and now knowing what to expect, it became one of my favourite books ever.

Mann
Gogol
Fitzgerald

Hesse
Camus
Dostoyevski

Knut Hamsun, Giovanni Papini, Ken Kesey

1. Bukowski
