that's retarded.
Messages/ideologies/ideas are implicit in everything. We are constantly creating meaning through categorization.
You can write a book with no idea of what your theme, message, or intention are. It might be more pure as a sensuous experience but also an indication of shallowness imo.

do women or minorities count?

I would say J R because it's constantly good. The recognitions has better ideas and says more about society and is probably more important. But the recognitions drags on. But fuck it's 900 pages what do you expect. But J R is way funnier and is a wild ride from start to finish. You never want to put it down. All the characters are hilarious and likeable. I found a lot of the characters annoying and shitty in the recognitions.

He was arrested, several times.

>>9215687
He was fucking great, dude. I love all of his work.

>>9215694
The fact that it happened several times indicates that he was not punished thoroughly

Obligatory Waiting For Godot by Samuel Beckett

And as for Greeks, don't forget Aeschylus and his Oresteia and Prometheus Bound. I've not read too many plays either, but to experience Goethe's masterwork of a play first read the play Doctor Faustus by Christopher Marlowe and then Faust by Goethe. Another worth mentioning is Boris Godunov by Pushkin, even just for the Mussorgsky's incredible opera based on it with the same name

Well, he's the first person who really emphasized the class struggle, so he'd probably be remembered as muh as most sociologists and stuff.

the funny thing about hegel is that he himself wrote so lazily and obscurely (i.e. just did not give a fuck) that as a result (a) all serious hegel scholars look like better philosophers than the man himself and (b) all of their interpretations differ. no fun.

it's not the suffering, it's how you learn to deal with the suffering that's the good thing.

As regards fiction, you're 100% right. But for poetry and philosophy I'd look somewhere else to be honest
