"Campus Novels"

I guess this is a thing. Can anyone recommend any good works that take place at universities or that involve university students?

Is it good or a meme?

Literally Veeky Forums and the Greeks.
It's also very comfy.

Do you go to UW? I was going to go there before I decided to switch from Chem E to EECS. Anyways, Stoner is actually a pretty good book. If I recall White Noise is also about a professor, but I don't really remember my thoughts on that book.

I'm an alumnus of UW. And right, White Noise. I read Underworld and liked it so I should definitely check it out.

Soumission.

MY NIGGA

Try 'been down so long it looks like up to me' if you like Pynchon. A lot of fun but pretty dated.

Stoner is like the John Green of depressed, College-age men. That said, it's still cosy.

Rules of Attraction
The secret history

Pnin

This was the first thing that came to mind for me.

How the fuck is it dated

The Big U is fun, even if stephenson disowned it because its poorly written

Lucky Jim

All the hippie/psychedelic stuff and terminology

>Stoner is like the John Green of depressed

Fuck you.

This

And Giles Goat Boy by Barth

This, this & this.

This Side of Paradise

Asturias' Viernes de Dolores, though I think that one hasn't been translated.

Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury counts, I guess.

Starter For Ten.

Lucky Jim for something funny

darconvilles cat

It's very much a period piece. It was fun and all, but it was overtly caught up in the time it was written at.

Farina could've done better if he'd lived long enough to. While we're talking about him, has anyone read his short story collection "A Long time coming and a long time gone"? I'm curious about it but I don't know if it's worth hunting down.

David Lodge is your man.

Very funny

Tom Wolfe - I am Charlotte Simmons

>>Farina

if you want, you can DL the folk album Farina and his wife made, i posted it on a /mu/ sharethread early this year:

Mimi & Richard Fariña: Celebrations For A Grey Day (1965)

>folk, guitar, dulcimer
>husband and wife, Mimi's maiden name is Baez. yes, her sister is THAT Baez.
>Appalachian sounds but mostly original tunes (?)

sidenote for Veeky Forumsizens: Richard was also a novelist who wrote Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me and was legit bros with Pynchon while at Cornell. Pinecone dedicated Gravity's Rainbow to Richard's memory.

Fuck this shitty school

>Is Stoner good or a meme?

You will feel extremely patrish reading this bad boy.

Norwegian Wood by Murakami.

>Is it good or a meme?

How do you think memes are born?
