Infinite Jest
Hard Boiled Wonderland at the End of the World
Ham on Rye
Ishmael
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich

IJ was amazing.
I'm a huge Murakami fan and HBW was his only book I'd ever given up on, read almost everything else so I said fuck it and went back and read this. The HB part is as bad as I remember but the Wonderland is really good, I thought.

Ham on Rye was good. Real as shit.

Pic related was the worst book I've ever completed. Jesus, that was garbage.

Denisovich was pretty good, if not a bit boring. I tend to like the gritty feeling in a lot of Russian lit and that was probably my favorite aspect of this book.

Been a pretty good year so far. Reading 'The Duchess of Malfi' (Webster) and 'The Rage Against God' (Peter Hitchens) at the moment.

Which translation of Metamorphoses did you read? Was it any good? Thinking of reading that soon but want to get a decent translation

Meditations-Aurelius
Hyperion-Simmons
Fall of Hyperion-Simmons
Last and First Men-Stapledon
The Iliad-Homer

What's the point of this thread if the only thing people do is post a list and completely ignore the "judge" part?

We all get to boast about how patrician our reading habits are.

Judges
Joshua
Numbers
Exodus
Genesis

:^)

>Last and First Men-Stapledon
How did you like it? One of my favorites personally.

Listen, shitfuck. I REALLY hate when retards list the author along with the title of the book. We know who wrote the fucking thing you cuck. So I now hate you.

Starting from the most recently finished:

The Iliad
Lolita
The Oxford Library of Short Novels Volume 1
Mythology (Hamilton)
The Return of the King

Is in Defense of the Fool like In Praise of Folly or totally unrelated?

>Frankenstein (for course)
>Robinson Crusoe (for course)
>War and Peace
>Romeo and Juliet (for course)
>Short stories by Chekhov

How have you enjoyed your first 9 books, reddit?

lolita
Danubia
The complete stories of Kafka
Catcher in the Rye
The Secret History, procopius

>On Chesil Beach
>Hear the Wind Sing
>The Fifth Child
>The Road
>Atonement

I'm having a year of contemporary literature. I liked them all except Hear the Wind Sing.

Getting through some of the balls basic texts in the medium.

Studying literature at a mediocre university.

Only those in English:

Steps to Christ, by Ellen G. White
Silence, by Shusaku Endo
Gifted Hands, by Ben Carson
The Master of Petersburg, by J.M. Coetzee
What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, by Murakami

The Recognitions
The Feast of the Goat by Mario Vargas Llosa
The Bishop and Other Stories by Anton Chekhov
Image and Idea by Philip Rahv
A Sportsman's Sketches

about 50pages into The Trial. Should finish in the next day or two

I can barely remember, and if you asked, I couldn't tell you much of anything about them. This is frustrating because it didn't used to be that way, and none of the docs I've talked to seem particularly concerned.

In the past year or so I remember reading
>the fall by camus
>a couple remote viewing manuals
>house on the borderlands by hodgson
>the king in yellow by chambers
>secrets of voodoo by milo rigaud
>a couple audiobooks by christopher fowler
>bits and pieces of several other books

psychomagic - alejandro jodorowsky
the ascent of humanity - charles eisenstein
six memos for the next millenium - italo calvino
the name of the rose - umberto eco
in my own way - alan watts

How did you find it in you to enjoy heart of darkness? It was shallow, stale, and stylistically overrated to high heavens.

Disgrace - J.M. Coetzee
Demons - Fyodr Dostoyevsky
The End of the Affair - Graham Greene
The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher & Other Stories - Hilary Mantel
Cat's Cradle - Kurt Vonnegut

The feast of the goat was unexplainably sexy

Did you like disgrace?

Very much so. I'd recommend it. It's pretty short so not much of a commitment.

Island in the Stream- Hemingway
Mokiwa - Godwin
Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
The Fall of the House of Usher and other writings - Edgar Allan Poe
Nine Stories - J.D. Salinger

AGOT
ACOK
ASOS
AFFC
ADWD

From most recent to most distant

The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money - John Maynard Keynes
The Collected Works of Archimedes trans. T.L. Heath
The Theory of Interest as Determined by Impatience to Spend Income and Opportunity to Invest It - Irving Fisher
The Theory of Money and Interest - Ludwig Von Mises
Euclid - Elements

Right now I'm engaged in Apollonius' Conics and Carl Menger's Principles of Economics Book II has been pretty easy and Menger is pretty fucking simple, so after a pretty steady period of reading intense logical derivations through the first book of On Conics and The General Theory, I get a little break for my mind.

I'm thinking of reading The Social Contract pretty soon.

y-you too

>takes two and a half years to read five books

Please be joking.

>good looking, fucks, takes pride in reserved masculinity. Good chance is a university student.

"Fucks" could always be better and I don't want to be too narcissistic by commenting on my looks
but you hit the nail on the head.

Sorry, I can't adequately critique you since I honestly haven't read any of your recent books except for the first chapters or so of lolita back in early High School.

??? How many books do you start but not finish???

>The Book of Mormon

What is that like?

i cant believe harold bloom swallowed his own redpill

A few dozen, off the top of my head. I realise that that still isn't many at all--given the span of time I'm talking about--but being forced to read was the punishment I really ever received as a kid so I've only just recently made any attempts at doing it recreationally. Sucks to suck.
