Nice bait.

Why is this bait? This is my honest top 10 books, i.e the top 10 books I enjoyed reading the most.

I don't fucking know

Also the problem with these lists is that it assumes the standpoint of the novel; most of my favourite writers are lyric poets who don't have a "book" to read per-se.

4. Invisible Man
5. A Confederacy of Dunes
6. Dubliners

>Honey, can you come in here?
>Why does my copy of IJ smell like ass?
>If you want to sit on my books, wipe a little better. I mean, cmon you got a little poo smear on it for christs sake.

My new favorite book is whichever one she is sitting directly on top of, however I can't make out a title.

underrated post

I feel like I'm about to throw up thanks to that user, jesus christ

>Yes - Thomas Bernhard

really? I read that and it was the weakest Bernhard I ever read. Have you tried the rest of his stuff?

Some. I read Woodcutters, The Voice Impersonator and some of his short stories. I've been wanting to read his autobiographical works, but I don't have the first one. What's your favourite Bernhard?

>Sam Harris


Kys

You fucking ruined the beaty of that pic to me

Hope you're happy with yourself, you disgusting cunt.

on god if I caught a thot sitting her nasty ass on top of my books like that she would lose her damn life

Concrete, Loser, Frost. Yes was actually pretty disappointing, but it was short so I didn't care.

some people are just sick in the head

Working on reading more, but as of now:

East of Eden
Grapes of Wrath
Odyssey
Phaedo (making my way through complete works)
Infinite Jest
Bible
Crime and Punishment
Catch-22
On Writing
Watership Down

You people are weird. I see a post like that, and it's disgusting sure, but I forget about it soon after. Retards don't deserve to be remembered, and the person who posted that is a retard. If someone talking about poop is enough to ruin all naked women for you then you need to see a therapist.

as it is in no order:

Moby Dick
Book of the New Sun
Urth of the New Sun
Call of the Wild
I Am Legend
Alamut
The Man in the High Castle

Oblomov
Thus Spoke Zarathoustra
Divine Comedy
Les Faux-monnayeurs
Un jardin sur l'Oronte
Ficciones
Cien Anos de Soledad
De l'inconvénient d'être né
Pride and Prejudice

THIS IS A CELIBATE BOARD

There's a thread for people like you. Stay in it

Literally a 6.5/10

Jesus Christ would you stop using this hideous pic, OP?

Kek

No particular order.

Slaughterhouse Five
The Corrections

I can't think of two more books I enjoyed enough to put on this list.

Whom is this ebony goddess

>ebony
Are you retarded?

She has dark skin

>implying it doesn't make it better

I come to Veeky Forums for the sole purpose of masturbating to this pic, I like to imagine smelling her ass sweat on the top book

Why hasn't some user recreated the pic by plonking his hairy arse on a stack of essential Veeky Forumscore?

God dammit I really dont like this picture for some reason

Ubik by PKD

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

Espedair Street by Iain Banks

The Trial by Kafka

Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Márquez

Neither Here, Nor There by Bill Bryson

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams

I dunno these are all the books I read in my life

this is a blue board, mate, no prawn allowed

Hang around Veeky Forums a Veeky Forumstle longer, a.non. We'll tell you what your other favorite books are

I don't have a "top ten." It's not even worth it to say "plebeian" here.

Works of literature don't fall into a linear scale line-up.

>Phenomenology of Spirit
>The Book of Lies
>Dianetics: The Original Thesis
>The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
>The Koran
>Capitalism and Schizophrenia
>Submission
>The David Icke Guide to the Global Conspiracy
>Hamlet
>Kiss Me, Deadly

maybe because you are homosexual?

I have never been able to make top ten lists of any medium I like. I don't even really understand the concept of a "favorite movie" or a "favorite book". When someone asks me I just answer with the first good movie or book that comes to mind.

Without a particular order:

Ray Monk - Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius
Kafka - The Trial
Kafka - The Castle
Shelly - Frankenstein
St. Augustine - Confessions
Dazai - Schoolgirl
Sophocles - The Theban Plays
Euripides - Medea & Other Plays
Wittgenstein - Blue & Brown Books
Nabokov - Pale Fire

>(so don't include obscure russian writers just because you think it makes you look smart, it doesn't).

>mfw years of reading obscure lit were all for nothing

You have neither

Good one dude!

That fucking bitch is getting her shit stains all over the cover of that book.

It's Blood Meridian, so it's already a shit book.

>HONEST

Stoner
Pride and Prejudice
The Karamazov Brothers

Of Mice and Men
The Odyssey

The Long Walk - Stephen King
Favourite book of all time

That was the book that first made me want to write! No book before then had ever made me feel what the characters were feeling. Good choice.

Shouldn't you be on sparknotes reading about how whatever flavor of the month "literature" is supposed to have made you feel so you can share your manufactured reactions with the 4/10 behind the counter at your local barnes n noble? The sad thing is this is probably not far from the truth.
