Wait is that not correct? I am hopeless with grammar.

Anne Karenina for those sweet farming scenes
maybe some Steinbeck like East of Eden
Walt Whitman's poems are pretty good
maybe Thomas Hardy or Henry James

Ah yeah Anna Karenina is definitely going on the list. Also maybe i should try Walt Whitman again? I didn't like it in h.s. but then again I have changed.

How to suicide

I don't get it? I'm asking for literature recommendations on a literature board.

thanks anon! i had to look it up, which is nice. not to say i have an exhaustive knowledge of literature but i have read a lot of the classics and i am always looking for more. contemporary literature generally leaves me feeling flat. dat lack of ethos.

Pedro Páramo, by Juan Rulfo

I did literally exactly this.

A few points:
- there's a good chance it'll end up being more than 4 hours a day, just because when any employer (and yes I know the whole woofing thing is phrased as some sorta alternative lifestyle peace core-ish thing - they're just employers all the same) say you're only going to work x hours, add anywhere from a half hour to 2 hours onto that
- if you've never worked 4+ hours a day of hard physical labor for days on end, you're going to be amazed at how tiring it actually is. You won't want to read.
- there's a good chance this will turn your relationship into a nightmare. You'll probably have a very hard time getting meaningful alone time, so unless you're okay not only living with her but also working with her, this can get ugly. Imagine having a fight, and then having to do hard labor with that person while your feelings are still hurt - if that's not obviously unpleasant then I don't know what is.

Not saying I'm not projecting but I met a few woofing people and that's how it worked for a lot of them.
