What should everyone read by Samuel Johnson?

Read the Rambler, then read the Lives of the Poets, then read Rasselas.

...

Samuel Johnson is the greatest writer of the 18th century.

The Vanity of Human Wishes

Pretty sure that's Voltaire

No, they shouldn't. Everyone should read Boswell.

loldue yea thats me. stop having kisd, life is not worth starting, but it is worth living, dude ligotti and benatar is the best stuff you can read. there are alot of stupid people that """thin""" that they are """""happy"""""" bute dude its just the survival instinct. be smart and stop living.

Agreed, more Julio Cabrera needs.to be translated into English

If you're going to read Johnson, especially the Rambler, it's best to read Boswell first. It helps to reinforced the context of his moral precepts when you understand the way Johnson lived and struggled in his own life.

I just ordered a collection of his works the other day, actually.

>mocking Samuel motherfucking Johnson

Author, definitely; writer? No.
