How do you like Moby-Dick so far?

Currently reading:
>Kafka, Chekhov, Dubliners, Hemingway, Melville, Gogol, and Borges short stories. I read at least one short story per day since I'm currently writing a short story

My queue:
>finish TBK (got halfway through last fall)
>Nicomachean Ethics
>Tao Te Ching
>finish Ulysses (got halfway though last fall as well)
>more Shakespeare. Never truly dove into Shakespeare beyond R&J for school and Hamlet for Ulysses prerequisite reading

Some of the chapters are really good, others are boring. What surprised me most is how funny it is.

>Currently reading: Stoner
>Queue: Moby-Dick, The invention of Morel, Huckleberry Finn, Infinite Jest, 3 lesser books by Bolaño, Hopscotch, Gravity's Rainbow (not in the actual queue, just waiting for me).

> currently: Catch 22
> queue: stoner, Blood maridian, Notes from the underground

I used to think this way too, but it’s nice to have some variety every now and then
Sounds like I may have to add it to the queue

>reading two books at once

why? do you watch two movies at once? listen to two albums at once?

>Current:
Lev Tolstoy - War and Peace
Natsume Soseki - The Gate

>Queue:
Krasznahorkai - War and War
Modern Chinese Novellas

>implying I will stick to the queue

Yeah, it'd make sense for me if they were one fiction and one non-fiction. But reading two fiction books at once? Not for me, mate.

You should definitely finish Dubliners quickly and jump into Ficciones, OP. Dead Souls is also a good one, but it can wait.

What's the problem? I'm currently reading Oblomov and The Master and Margarita and it is immensely interesting to see the contrast between Goncharov and Bulgakov.

What if the two fiction books are radically different?

reading some C R I T I C A L T H E O R Y
then back to the greeks im already tiring of the charade

>Brave New World
>Catch-22
>1984
>Slaughterhouse Five
>The Catcher in the Rye
>American Psycho
>The Great Gatsby
>The Picture of Dorian Grey
>Lolita
>Siddhartha
I’ve been not reading for a while, I’ve been in a slump since I finished Infinite Jest last year (I spent so much time on it I didn’t know what to read once I was done). So now I’m trying to read and reread some starting Veeky Forumscore to get back in the groove

>Reading:
Consider the Lobster
Crime and Punishment
Sula (for school, it sucks)
>Queue:
Notes from the Underground
Earthly Powers
Hideous Men DFW
Plato’s Gorgias

I'm actually reading 3. The third is for school so I don't count it. I usually read one short story before bed it's also relaxing to read something easy in between a tome like Mobutu Dick.

>he's actually doing the Veeky Forums recommended reading list
