Anyone reccomend more fun campus or young artist novels...

anyone reccomend more fun campus or young artist novels? they make me feel good to be young alive and a liberal arts student

I've read Portrait of the Artist

I just want to say that I like that book

Unironically my novel
that will never be published

Darconville's Cat
Stoner
Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man
The Recognitions (not college based but NYC)

honestly if you like farina and you haven't checked out pynchon I would change that immediately, they were homies

The middle three books of In Search of Lost Time, though you should read them all on general principle.

Me too.

Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis is supposedly good

>gives up trying to become a serious writer
>starts working at buzzfeed
>contracts HIV

>plays bass in a garage rock band
>charges $7 or more for his shitty EP on bandcamp

The first ~200 pages of the Secret History by Donna Tartt were top-tier comfy literature. Elitary, too.

10/10

Do you think he and Pynchon ever fucked lol

Came here to post this. Lucky Jim is top banter.
