What is the most immersive book you have read?
What is the most immersive book you have read?
the bible
The ones I like best.
The Book of the New Sun. I found myself making bleak choices for myself for bare reasons for like a month. I wish I could read it again for the first time.
Currently reading Heart of Darkness and I've been finding it very immersive.
The elder scrolls: morrowind
Define immersive.
If it's what I think it is, then Dante's Inferno, The Odyssey, or Ulysses.
Same here.
>tfw you will never hold Dorcas' supple hands.
Crime and punishment.
Holy shit you really feel the guilty and paranoia of Raskolnikov.
No Longer Human because I am him to a t, not just in attitudes and mannerisms and personality but also in background. It felt like reading about myself it was really weird
my diary desu
I don't know, I wouldn't deserve the intense urge to convert to Catholicism as immersive.
>tfw you get to the part about the dying slaves in the trees and have an incredible urge to run away yourself
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.
I don't think any other book managed to make me care for the characters like OFOTCN did.
Generally I think I have a pretty vivid imagination but there were times while reading OFOTCN where I actually felt like I was there with them.
War and Peace or A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man
I'd have to say Pontias Pilate if I'm being honest.
the society of the spectacle
playing that right now, travel time and cliff racers are killing me
>pic related
It drags you in without your knowing. Fucking impressive
the wind up bird chronicle
somthing about murakami, there are better writers but he just keeps those pages flowin' man
The first half of Crime and Punishment with Raskolnikov wandering the streets of Petersburg mindfucked, tied with the last few scenes of Grendel after Beowulf reveals himself to be the Waterbearer and shit gets really real.
Seconding Heart of Darkness.
Moby-Dick
bump
what's up with it being memed really hard here these past couple of weeks?
confusions of young torless
The Big Sleep or any Chandler for that matter. I just dig 1940s California.
Don Quixote. Even the numerous digressions that form detailed backstories to characters you won't see ever again in the book are exciting to read.
Also the Duke and Duchess fucking with Don Quixote and Sancho, Sancho eventually getting his own island to govern and not quite enjoying it as much as he hoped.
The book is such a treat.
Kokoro.
>tfw you are being cucked by your superior friend too
嫌い

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
>What is the most immersive book you have read?
i don't know
Maybe I'm reading one right now...
Women in Love - DH Lawrence
drags you into philosophy
My Struggle Volume 4.
Really felt like I was a horny 19 year old teaching English in a comfy Norwegian town.
>Tfw I've only watched the anime adaption of this
It was good, but I still feel like a pleb.
I got bored and quit after the part he went to a weird woman who sucked his neck and made him cum. Was that just a slump in the book or is it all downhill from there?
The Book of Ebenezer Le Page for sure. Its written in Guersney dialect which makes it extra atmospheric (and comfy too)
Confessions of a Mask
I used to be strsight
Dune
>used to be
The World of Yesterday by Stefan Zweig, or
If On A Winter's Night A Traveller by Calvino
I'm replaying this and I have to say, fuck cliffracers.
>Zweig
Underrated author
True, are all of his books even translated?
maybe his prose is just to hard to translate properly
I love his book-series on other authors (Dostoevsky, Nietzsche etc.)
The first part of Robinson Crusoe (Early life -> England)
The first part of the Pale King (Sylvanshine on the plane)
The first part of Moby-Dick (before the plot fades into the background)
Ancient History: A Paraphase
The Iliad
trips of truth
>tfw the Book of the New Sun made you want to become Catholic
>tfw you don't believe in God or the supernatural
Wake me up.
Seven Pillars of Wisdom
Ferrante's The Story of a New Name
