Do you guys ever feel indecisive about which book to read next after finishing the previous?

Do you guys ever feel indecisive about which book to read next after finishing the previous?

ITT: Post the titles of five books in your current reading backlog/stack and other anons choose which is the best to read next.

Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors
Shakespeare's The Tempest
Albert Camus' The Stranger
Jean Cocteau's Les Enfant Terribles
Las Casas' Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies

I just want to read something very short after a long 1332 page book.

infinite jest
2666
cloud atlas
the idiot
suttree

i wish to have a book that'll keep me busy for the next few months and that i can obsess over every little detail.

the tempest imo. shakespeare's comedy feels dated imo unless if it's performed on stage. the word play is better expressed through speech and a lot of his slapstick humour is better conveyed visually, so the comedy of errors wouldn't be for me t b h. not read the others except the stranger and imo it's just OK

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Kesey
Confessions, St Augustine
Mrs Dalloway, Woolf
At Swim-Two-Birds, O'Brien
Brighton Rock, Greene

2666

Brief History of Seven Killings
Autobiography of Malcolm X
A Confederacy of Dunces
The Sound of Waves
Lysistrata

Just finishing Blood meridian

Crime and Punishment
Restaurant and the end of the Galaxy
Superintelligence - Bostrom(non fiction)
Autobiography of Malcolm X

Woah dude WHAT THE FUCK. hivemind. Guess we're reading malcolm

Cuckoos nest.

I'm Travelling Alone - Samuel Bjork
My Struggle: A Death in the Family - Knausgaard
Alone in Berlin - Hans Fallada
A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess
Nausea - Sartre

Kek alrighty then

The Tempest, definitely. Les Enfants Terribles is literal rich white girl-core. Just see the Melville film instead, it's a fantastic adaptation. Cocteau was a better director than an author anyway.

2666 is dense, definitely worth the effort. Infinite Jest is a lot more accessible than people give it credit for, but the formatting is a pain (flipping between the back pages and the main novel for the notes is not a good experience). Worth reading eventually but not necessarily if you want a challenge.

One Flew over the cuckoo's nest is an essential, but Confessions is cool if you're curious about theology, which you must be really if you own a copy.

ye just read malcolm x

Knausgaard, but if after 20 pages you hate his pacing and tone, go for A Clockwork Orange.

Some books I own but haven't read yet:

Dead Souls, by Gogol
The Master and Margarita, by Bulgakov
East of Eden, by Steinbeck
The Counterfeiters, by Gide
Dandelion Wine, by Bradbury

Classic door-stopper meme quintology:

DON QUIXOTE
WAR & PEACE
LES MISERABLES
ULYSSES
BROTHERS KARAMAZOV

Choose the ONE

hi, veekyforums

Dude with a stack that dense the choice should come down to your tastes atm and not a random user.

Mason & Dixon
Gravity's Rainbow
Inherent Vice
Bleeding Edge
Against the Day

I gots me a craving for that there Pynchon

Mason & Dixon

Thus Spoke Zarathustra
The Master and Margarita
Dr Zhivago
Demons/The Possessed

zara 100%
i dont know the rest of those desu

War and Peace

or The Brothers Karamazov

If you bulk buy massive doorstoppers like that you will never read them all.

Dracula
Moby Dick
The Hunchback of Notredame
The Whisperer in Darkness
The King in Yellow

Which one should I focus on? Im in the process of reading all of them.

Atomised
The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge
Gravity's Rainbow (second time)
Adan Buenosayres
The King James Bible
Ovid's Metamorphoses (prose)
Dune
Edgar Allan Poe's complete short stories
Crime and Punishment

Moby Dick is amazing, please read that first. Dracula is good but less about classic spooks and more about a loyal group of friends faced with a crisis. It surprised me how much Dracula was about friendship.

tempest

Ulysses but make sure you've read Homer's Odyssey and Macbeth beforehand

Infinite Jest (had to google the ending)
Hamlet (have yet to finish)
Don Quixote (have yet to finish)
2666 (have yet to start)

DQ

Okay do me now guyz

Winesburg, Ohio
The Nigger of the Narcissus
The Fountainhead
Swann's way (If I read this one is it necessary to read the rest?)
A Farewell to Arms

Winesburg is great. I believe Anderson was a big influence on Hemingway so it would make sense to read it before AFTA.

A farewell to arms

Crime and Punishment

Don Quixote

Crime and punishment

Do me, anons:
The Waves
Gogol's stories
Spring Torrents
If on a Winter's Night a Traveler
The unnamable

do Gogol first.

I'd say go for Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time if you haven't already. Russia's romanticism too often gets overshadowed by the realist authors.

Ok, do me now:

Dubliners
The Trial
Ibsen's Nora
Knut Hamsun Hunger
The Stranger

Already read "A Hero of our time", what should I go for from the 5 books I've listed?

reading six four, portnoys complaint, white noise, and don quixote right now.

when i finish at least 2 of them, im thinking
>the beach
>been down so long
>mao II
>the arcades project
or
>american architecture book
reading my new edition tyson book on critical theory no matter what but i can juggle that with another

Hunger

Odyssey
Aristotle's Metaphysics
Hillbilly Elegy
L'Étranger
The Room - Selby
