>The Stranger
>The Odyssey
>The brothers Karamazov

The Picture of Dorian Gray
The Trial
The Inspector general (Peвизop)
The Great Gatsby
1984

Adolfo Casares - The Invention of Morel

Last 5 I read:
The picture of dorian gray
Crime and punishment
The brothers Karamazov
The trial
Labyrinths by Borges

Tale of Genji
Lusiads
1001 Nights
Oryx and Crake
Iliad

Looked it up on amazon, it sounds like exactly the kind of novel I'd enjoy

>Jorge Luis Borges declared The Invention of Morel a masterpiece of plotting, comparable to The Turn of The Screw and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Set on a mysterious island, Bioy's novella is a story of suspense and exploration, as well as a wonderfully unlikely romance, in which every detail is at once crystal clear and deeply mysterious.

And I'm a massive Borges fan

Thanks user, I'm going to buy this soon

These are the last 5 novels I've read for pleasure and completed

Young Henry of Navarre - Heinrich Mann
Narcissus and Goldmund - Hesse
Crime & Punishment - Dostoevsky

You're meant to post 5 books that you've read

Last 5 books I've read:
Fahrenheit 451
Hyperion
How to Read and Why - Bloom
Salt by Mark Kurlansky
Catch 22

Atlas shrugged
The divine comedy (the first part - the one with Dante's inferno)

Neuromancer

No, OP asked for five books because others tell you what to read from those five

Iain M Banks Use of Weapons
William Gibson Neuromancer
Martin Amis Money
Salman Rushdie Midnight's Children
Jack London Martin Eden

Yeah, the people in this thread are fucking idiots. That is completely obvious, yet the majority of these posters are responding with random books, or posting lists that they have already read.

dude did you even read OPs post

Iliad and Odyssey
Virgil's Aeneid
Plato's Symposion
Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Wolfram von Eschenbach - Parzival

Also, you might want to add Vatsyayana Mallanaga's Kamasutram.

>Iliad and Odyssey
Start with the Greeks.

Odissey

Arrian - Alexander the Great
Aristotle - On the Soul
Shakespeare - The Tempest
Sophocles Collection
Hemingway - Sun Also Rises

>The divine comedy
This one.

I prefer my interpretation of OP's post. It's much more interesting to get a recommendation which is a new discovery (based on books you like) rather than have someone make a random choice out of 5 that you chose.

Shakespeare - Hamlet
DFW - The Broom of the System
Gaddis - The Recognitions
Williams - Butcher's Crossing
Shakespeare - Midsummer Night's Dream

>Shakespeare - Midsummer Night's Dream
Now do me

In the Heart of the Heart of the Country - Gass
The Flying Inn or Orthodoxy - Chesterton
Underground - Murakami

1. The Dying Earth
2. Anglo-American Encyclopedia
3. Plague on Wheels
4. In The Realms of the Unreal
5. Mein Kampf

>Norse Myths (Neil Gaiman)
>Merchant of Venice
>Richard II
>Huckleberry Finn
>In Cold Blood
Zero shame.

bump someone tell me what to read

Childhoods end

The Name of the Rose
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Brave New World
The Adventures of Tom Saywer and Huck Finn
Cairo Trilogy

I put series together because I go through them without stopping usually.

Genji

I read it, took 3 months but I took a two week break around 40 chapters in. I suggest the Royall Tyler translation.

I actually kind of agree. It would be cool if people looked at the 5 you've read and then determined something you might like from your history.

Old man and the sea
Brave new world
The grapes of wrath
The catcher in the rye
David copperfield

I posted a selected history and got what looks like a great recommendation. Why don't you do the same.

Catcher in the rye then brave new world. Might as well hammer out the high school shit asap.

from my list please, just as OP intended, thanks

The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda - Noam Chomsky
Ride the Tiger - Evola
The Four Pillars of Investing - William Bernstein
The Republic - Plato
The Illuminatus Trilogy - Robert Shea

Here's a list of 5 books I've read then.

Antifragile
Tale of Genji
Notes From Underground
Clash of Civilizations
Meditations of Marcus Aurelius

The Republic is the obvious choice seeing as how it's a seminal work.

The Picture of Dorian Gray it won't give you cancer and kill you

>it won't give you cancer and kill you

How can you say that and not say more? Now I'm curious.

nigel

Name of the Rose will curse you with Sean Connery. Everywhere you go, you'll see him. Around every corner, in every darkened apse or slender penumbra of doorway you'll know he is there.
>Brave New World you will never know or experience what a pneumatic woman is. In a frustrated rage you will try to design your own ending in a rather messy embarrassment and the ruination of one perfectly fine Dyson cordless upright.
Tom and Huck the stolid wit will prematurely gray out your hair and you will constantly go around asking young children if they want to go on adventures in caves. A long jail time follows.
>The Cairo Trilogy - mummies, bro. all they do is curse. Cancer would be a blessing at that point

Taiko by Eiji Yoshikawa
The Red Sphinx by Alexandre Dumas
The Pupil by Henry James
The Sonnets of Shakespeare
