Hi Veeky Forums. As you can see with the picture, I am more of a /mu/ guy. However I would like to get into literature. I checked the Veeky Forums list of essentials but I really don't know where to begin.
Here is what I like :
>Music MBV - Loveless Radiohead - Kid A
>Video games Silent hill 2 Dark Souls
>Movies It's such a beautiful day Virgin suicides American beauty
>TV series Six feet under The Sopranos
I love what makes me think about life itself, and how sometimes time can stop on very simple and short moments of everyday's life beauty.
Thank you very much for any recommendation, however I think I will need something "fairly easy" to start of reading as I've almost never read besides in school.

Wow, you sound deep as shit
Start with the Greeks
Wyatt Torres
The Sun Also Rises and Men Without Women by Hemingway
Jeremiah Martin
The Greeks
Gavin Reyes

Jackson Ward
Start with the Greeks
Jacob Mitchell
wow what u wrote about the relativity of time really hit me... really makes you go hmm
sticky, faggot
Hunter Perry
You may add well start with The Virgin Suicides if you like the film so much.
Michael Perez
Start with the Illiad and the Odyssey, then read Bertrand Russel's "A history of Western Philosophy". Then read the greeks and work your way in chronological order. Or don't, it's your prerrogative. That's if you're interested in Philosophy which i assume you are. If you're here only for fiction start with Homer anyway.

How often do you get threads like this, Veeky Forums?
William Murphy
what I got from your post is that you are an insecure 18 year old nu male

I don't know, I would need to see more aspects of your personality to determine the best works from canon to recommend to you. Could you send me clips of your favorite porno videos? Maybe pictures of your tattoos? What are your results from the Myers Briggs personality test? What is your favorite thing to order off of the Carl Jr's menu?
Gavin White

>Radiohead I'd say work on developing better taste in music first but otherwise start with the Greeks.
Dylan Torres
without a doubt you would enjoy Haruki Murakami. start with After the Quake, a short story collection to get the ball rolling. Then read Kafka on the Shore
Easton Jackson
Wish you're a pretty deep intellectual dude.

This is the cutest thing, no really, it sounds so adorably innocent. I would say go back over whatever essentials pic you have and look at the corresponding wiki page until you find one that sounds interesting to you.

DORSET
Unless you're a lad, in which case, fuck off ya poof
Chase Davis
>Dorset /ˈdɔːrsᵻt/ (or archaically, Dorsetshire) is a county in South West England >lad >poof Yeah, please go hang yourself. Thanks. Also, Loveless is an extremely overrated record.
Oliver Diaz
Fuck off ya poof

Carson Thomas
You really seem like you do though, what with this shitposting you're doing now.
Jose Price
You can't have patrician tastes in music, videogames, movies, TV series and literature. We all have twenty-four hours in our day and you won't get any literary knowledge—nor even achieve a single book, frankly—while playing, watching TV and listening to music simultaneously. Either drop these uselessly time-consuming media or simply talk about “The Stranger” wherever you go to sound “cool” and well-read, because twenty minutes a day isn't enough to go through a introduction chart (that you should already know, by the way).
What are you? French?
Kevin Cook
No I don't dude, back off I'm warning ya
Justin Powell
Trying to attempt nobodies on an anonymous shitposting website is probably the saddest thing you could do with your time.
Eli Martin
Here's another one, you annoying cunt.

>I am more of a /mu/ guy your taste is basic as fuck, nothing but /mu/core
Oliver Morgan
Start with the Greeks
Asher Robinson
What? Man, I don't understand you guys. OP wants to get into reading and all you do is shit on him. Anyway OP, read some Vonnegut, either Slaughterhouse-Five or The Sirens of Titan. Fun stuff for beginners.
Cameron Wright
*touches your bum*
Zachary Johnson
>all you do is shit on him Because it's impossible to rec something to someone with such basic taste. First he should try to delve into random deeper works before wanting specialized recs. Also THERE IS A FUCKING STICKY
Owen James
Whoa, ya fookin poof, touch me again and I'll fookin bash ye ead in m8, you got meh?
innit
Cameron Fisher
This. I'm so glad I stopped browsing that place
Adrian Smith
Just look for the starter kit, since you're basic as fuck anyway

>"Man, I don't understand you guys. OP wants to get into reading and all you do is shit on him." >le my teacher is the only one who gets me and I'm much smarter than my ignorant peers, the literal middle-school-tier maymay
>"Man, I don't understand you guys." >"Anyway OP, [if you want to get into reading, try with] some Vonnegut, either Slaughterhouse-Five or The Sirens of Titan." this is why you don't understand "us guys"
Grayson Perry
Ahah op hère, you guys are hilarious ! I do know other music and stuff and so what if loveless is well known on /mu./ ? I love the emotion it procures, it is m'y favorite album, I dont care if it's mucore or whatever I actually came on /mû/ because it was m'y favorite album and people there liked it. And I dont think I'm deep or anything, I never talk about what I like in public, neither did I say my taste were "patrician" or anything, you really are insecure about your tastes. Anyway thanks to everyone who gave recommandations I will definitively give a look :)
