Age

>Ulysses - James Joyce
A lot of it went straight over my head, but by the end I felt very close to Bloom and the last four chapters were very emotional.
>Schachnovelle (The Royal Game) - Stefan Zweig
Very entertaining read, but some horrible writing near the end kinda ruined it.
>Ficciones - Jorge Luis Borges
Pretty much what I expected. Lots of interesting ideas and parables, but some of the stories were the same metafictional wankery that's so pervasive in PoMo.

Anything but DB2, I'll even take 12c

>Histories - Herodotus
Pretty entertaining, despite some of the digressions being not very agile or relevant. Some genuinely funny moments too.
>En el estado - Juan Benet
Benet's prose is always enjoyable, but this one novel managed to dazzle and tire me with tons of namedropping and dank references.
>El alcalde de Zalamea/La vida es sueño - Calderón de la Barca.
Fucking great, my first Calderón and already want to read more. Would thank suggestions.
