Objectively, values don't have an intrinsic existence, i.e. don't exist by themselves, but rather via one's conceptualization, meaning, v𝘢lues 𝘢re spooks (Άδοξος). Step up your game.

>Dostoevsky
For his major works, especially The Idiot and Crime & Punishment. Excited to re-read The Brothers Karamazov this year.
>Homer
Primarily for the Iliad, but the Odyssey is wonderful too.
>Sophocles
For the Oedipus trilogy, especially Oedipus Rex. Ajax is also great, and Electra is good.
>Tennyson
Exclusively for Idylls of the King. Incredible poem and very moving. Looking into the rest of his poetry very soon, and most excited for his In Memoriam A.H.H.
>Toss-up between Turgenev for Fathers and Sons, and Cervantes for Don Quixote. Leaning towards Turgenev, but recognize that Don Quixote is the superior novel.

H. P Lovecraft
>le spooky racist man, but probably my all time favourite - nobody has successfully emulated his style I think

A. Moore.

Could also throw Joseph Conrad on there, but I was tight on space.

I would have thought your tastes would have evolved beyond this at age 27, did you start reading last year or something

I stopped reading fiction at 22, because the majority of what I've read for the past 5 years has been academic trash, with the occasional book to keep my sanity.

Honorable mentions to Evelyn Waugh, Martin Heidegger, Borges, Faulkner, Mishima, and Grossman.

I'm actually on the spectrum, but what was meant by this?

Great taste user

How are his other books, have they even been translated into English? Loved Petersburg especially how experimental it was.

The Silver Dove is pretty good a bit slow moving and not as experimental, still enjoyable though.

The Dramatic Symphony and Kotik Letaev are really great and just as experimental, if not more than Petersburg.

I still have yet to read the Christened Chinaman or his essay collections, but they're very high on my list. I believe the first part of his Moscow trilogy was just translated into English last year too.

Still trying to escape the hyperreal and get a glimpse of the primacy of immediate experience

Isn't he basically just the male Ayn Rand?
