Underated

I think if you mention gogols other works and short stories which are technically his bread and butter no one on here reads them for the most part. A shame

It takes a real effort to seriously get into an author's work. You won't get there by reading Veeky Forums's perennial recommendations. That's why I've dedicated this summer to reading Hawthorne's complete body of work.

I have to ask is Robert Louis Stevenson any good?

I always just assumed he was just some high tier pulp writer of his time but so many great authors that I respect seem to admire him.

Treasure Island is good at what it's doing. Haven't read anything else by him.

Kek.
