The Book of the New Sun-Wolfe
Hard To Be a God-Arkady and Boris Strutgatsky
The Woman in the Dunes-Kobo Abe
The Melancholy of Resistance-Laszlo Krasznahorkai
Currently reading Malcolm X's autobiography. Would really like to dive into Victor Hugo's Les Miserables and Homer's The Illiad too (although I'm sort of dreading the ship catalog) this summer. Would like to fit in some Shakespeare and A Confederacy of Dunces too.
i'm reading crying of the lot 49
then i'll read great gatsby
and then lolita
The Big Sur
The Great Shark Hunt
The Dangerous Book for Boys
King Lear
Japanese Death Poems
Casi un objeto (by Saramago)
I also want to read Coriolanus, and some poetry by Neruda and Manrique, but let's see if I actually feel like reading them later.
>summer
Thanks God it is almost winter here.
I will read Ada or ardor in bed with a coffee
>critique of pure reason
That's it. I have no plans this summer other than understanding this monster. Any other books will be commentaries and companions about it. It needed to get done some time or other it's not even that bad. I feel my power level increasing with each page
Journey to the End of the Night - Celine
Nausea - Sartre
A Farewell to Arms - Hemingway
I don't know whether I want to read language in my own tongue (Dutch), or whether I should read English.
Does anyone have suggestions for either?
(Currently reading Patriot of Persia)
A Hero Of Our Time - Lermontov
Crime & Punishment - Dostoevsky
Buddenbrooks - Thomas Mann
I have never read anything by Thomas Mann. Does it matter where you start?
If book is available in Dutch, read it in Dutch. If book is available in English, read it in English.
If neither learn whatever language it's in.
Fucking pre-socratics made me learn German.
Look at the Harlequins - Nabokov
The Recognitions - Gaddis
At Swim-Two-Birds - Flann O'Brien
These are the three major ones I want finish. Currently reading Laughter in the Dark by Nabokov.
Lees het origineel wanneer mogelijk, ga anders voor de beste vertaling. Nederlandse vertalingen zijn helaas vaak erg slecht.
Precies waar ik tegen aan liep, hoewel de vertaling van Marcus Aurelius wel hoogwaardig is (die van Simone Mooij-Valk). Enige aanraders los van de grote drie?
Cheers, sadly Dutch translations aren't always the best and therefore I still have to discriminate even if it were available in said language. Were the pre-socratics simply not available in your language? (if so, not a loss at all considering you know German now)
On the Road
At Swim Two Boys
The Canterbury Tales
and other stuff
-War and Peace by Tolstoy
-Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 by Hunter S. Thompson
-Big Sur by Kerouac
>No Longer Human
>Dubliners
>Berkley Literature Class - Cortazar
Dune - Frank Herbert
Soldier of Sidon - Gene Wolfe
The Lions of Al-Rassan - Guy Gavriel Kay
Myths from Mesopotamia - Stephanie Dalley
All the Pretty Horses - Cormac McCarthy
Creation - Gore Vidal
Billy Budd and Other Stories - Herman Melville
An Artist of the Floating World - Ishiguro
Sea of Poppies - Ghosh
Moby Dick - Melville
The three great works I will read this summer will be War and Peace, Paradise Lost and Cantenbury tales. My summer has already started and I have read 20-30 books in the last month and plan to read at least 50 more, not including the grand three
i just finished six four, im on still life with woodpecker now. six four was great, woodpecker is a slow start but the prologue was nice. i wish to read the new edition of critical theory today, confederacy of dunces, and a kerouac book.
which kerouac should i start with?
Only fragments of pre-socratics survived to this day. The authoritary source is german Fragmente der Vorsokratier, only parts of which are translated to english. At least german is logical, unlike english.
And bless the Dutch language for being so similar! The translations of Hesse's work are near perfect.
Ulysses
Love in the Time of Cholera
...
Haven't picked any others yet. Ulysses is taking me a while.
>dune
>thus spoke zippidy-do-da
>Modern Family Law: Cases and Materials
>thus spoke zippidy-do-da
Fuck you, I laughed
>Suns
Ulysses with a friend
The Recognitions alone
Factotum to appease my former high school history teacher (it'll only take half a day or less)
Also on the list is Mrs Dalloway because my Lang teacher says it's infinitely better than Ulysses
>The Master and Margarita - Bulgakov
>Dead Souls - Gogol
>no idea, probably The Iliad
>Resurrection
>The Odyssey
>Aristotle
>Discourse on Method
>Swann's Way
>Capital (at least some of it)
>Gulag Archipelago
Great, I like Hesse too. The only problem with Greek is that it's metrum is way different from German or English, so a lot is lost in translation. Few translations into slavic languages are way better. Same with Homer and Hesoid, of which more than fragments are actually translated.
Wittgenstein's Tractatus
Oxford History of Western Philosophy
Fuck's Fuck by Fucking Cunt
>Starting Strength 3rd Ed. - Rippetoe
>How to Read a Book - Adler
>Think and Grow Rich - Hill
I'm trying, okay

Other books I might read
Hamsun - Mysteries (reread)

Dostoevsky - The Idiot
>Book of the New Sun - Wolfe
>Brothers Karamazov - D-stoy (trans. Avsey)

it's surprising that you asked for three, opie, because i generally keep one genre fic, one literary fic/classic, and one non-fic in my stable at any given time. is this common?
Are you me? I do the same.
How many of you saved the pic in my frist post?
>The Book On The Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are
>The Aleph and Other Stories
>The Spiritual Tourist
>Gene Wolfe’s 1986 novel “Soldier of the Mist” centers on a Roman mercenary named Latro. Having suffered an injury during the Battle of Plataea, a Greco-Persian War skirmish, Latro has no memory of his past. Each night, he writes the day’s events on a scroll; the next morning he reads the scroll to bring himself current.
>During his journey, Latro is accompanied by another soldier, a black man whose name he doesn’t know. Though Latro keeps forgetting what they have gone through together, their friendship builds. “The heart remembers,” Latro says, “even when no trace of face or voice remains.”
>[Gene Wolfe's] wife, Rosemary, suffered from Alzheimer’s disease; she died in December, 2013. “There was a time when she did not remember my name or that we were married, but she still remembered that she loved me,” Wolfe recalled.
>La familia de Pascual Duarte
>Abel Sanchez
>Don Quijote
>Lazarillo de Tormes
im glad i was not born in mishimas body, it would suck to be stupid (yes im proud of my spiritual pudenda)
>proud of ... pudenda
>literally means "parts to be ashamed of"
you can play that off as a clever joke if you wish, but why is mishima stupid?
add guzman de alfarache to that.
Nederlandse literatuur is pretentieuze bagger die zichzelf zo snel mogelijk dient dood te schijten.
