Well, I finally finished all three.
Personal enjoyment = IJ>Ulysess>GR
Literary worth = Ulysess>GR>IJ
Seeing as I evidently have no abilities to actually think for myself (see pic related) what's next?
I was thinking Atlas Shrugged, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and TCLO49 should keep me busy.
Also general discussion on any mentioned texts.
Schopenhauer's On Women
Mein Kampf
Decline of the West
Protocols of the Elders of Zion
the Bell Curve
Crippled America
Ride the Tiger
We need someone like you to join the fight
How many layers of irony are you on?
You forgot this.
Nah, I don't buy into any of that B.S.
Expand your horizons to..
Lolita
War & Peace
Swann's Way
Go for the following, better, pseudo-meme trilogy. All the following are better than the often referenced Opus of the respective author:
Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle - Nabokov
Suttree - McCarthy
The Recognitions* - Gaddis
*This one is borderline, as the split between those who favour J R vs TR is roughly equal
Finnegans Wake
Don Quixote
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
Maxon and Dixon
Ficciones
my diary desu
Start with the presocratics and go chronological
Start lifting
Stop stopping
I'm half convinced that all these "I started with the Greeks/meme trilogy" posts are just bait at this point. No new reader could possibly understand Ulysses.
