Holy Bible

he said novel in his post

Yeah probably

fuck sorry

Since quality is purely subjective, I can only answer what my "favourites" are.

A Magic Mountain and The Waves.

Np I also consider it to be the supreme work that transcends any other known attempt of art.

I mean just look at Prologue of John's Gospel... out of this world.

The Great Gatsby, as a matter of course.

Harry Potter and the Prisoners of Alcatraz

My favorite novel is probably Don Quixote, but I think The Brothers Karamazov is better, and I only like it a little bit less.

Seconding The Waves. It's as close to a flawless novel as you can get.

Classic literature is mostly incredibly overrated, and churned out vastly more pseudointellectual elites than any contemporary shit. And I'm sure I'll get dozens of (You)s for suggesting McCarthy's purportedly weakest work is the most GOAT novel ever.

Yes

>poptimist

I like The Road.
Suttree is great tho.

journey to ixtlan

Either this or Ulysses desu

If it were finished, maybe

You don't happen to be from r/books, do you?
Just a hunch

Der Prozess > Das Schloß, definitely. Have you read Der Prozess? Why do you think Schloß is better than Prozess?

Ulysses

>classic literature is mostly vastly overrated

What works have you read that make you say this?

Moby Dick is great but fuck it's so dense. I can only go through it in 10 page sessions. Taking me longer than Karamazov
