books? Read whatever interests you, try and follow a "path" and you'll only ruin reading for yourself.

I'd say read Haruki Murakami. He's very popular with hipster girls, is easy to begin with and does start producing some good reads in his career. Read a few of those, then try a better Japanese (for example)author, maybe Mashima. Once you a feel for reading, just go to stores and find new authors. Enjoy the experience of gathering self knowledge - that is /fa/.

>>9712969
germinal is one of my favorite books (the sex scene at the very end is legendary), therese raquin is good too. I suggested la debacle because it gives an historical sweep and a story of a great friendship like few other novels do. I like benjamin constant to, both his political writings as well as his literary ones. I appreciate baudelaire, but he was more of a poet, no? Sartre I can't get into. I never saw a whole lot of merit in any of the existentialist literature I've read. I've read a lot of Sartre's philosophy too, the way he tries to synthesize hegel and heidegger is a total failure imo. I can appreciate the man, but I wouldn't recommend him to others. And I've never heard of boris vian.

i just started a thread on /lit/ on zola actually
>>>/lit/6411738
but because it's not about DFW or Pynchon i doubt anyone will actually contribute to it

>>9709240
I like Haneke's "La Pianiste" much more than I liked the Adrien Brody film

>>9712982
>I'd say read Haruki Murakami. He's very popular with hipster girls, is easy to begin with and does start producing some good reads in his career.
I've read almost all of Murakami's works. He is popular with hipster girls, I have to admit, and I often use it as an opener when chatting with them on okcupid or whatever.

But in general, murakami has the problem of writing the same damn story with the damn damn protagonist every single book. Sure, they're enjoyable and intriguing reads, but after a while you begin to realize that there's nothing profound about them. His last two novels 1Q84 and Colorless Tskuru were pretty weak in my opinion.

Best Murakami novels are Kafka on the Shore, Dance Dance Dance, and Wind-up Bird Chronicle. His short story collection "After the Quake" is pretty good too, as are the interviews he conducts with the witnesses to the Tokyo subway poison gas attacks.

I think he's a very thoughtful person but has trouble breaking out of his comfort zone.

>>9713013
Sartre ruined existentialism when he tried to synthesize it with Marxism. He was pretty critical of Heidegger, but his criticism is unconvincing; moreover, Heidegger adequately and irrevocably criticized Sartre's entire system, that it's not particularly important to read his philosophy. He's a slightly better playwright than prose writer.

>>9713015
tripsk how r u doing i miss chatting wtih you on tc

>>9713041
He broke his comfort zone when he wrote after dark, but then regressed back into it thereafter. I wish I hadn't read after dark as my first murakami book because everything else was a disappointment.

>>9713046
Well in that time you basically had to be "in" with the establishment French marxism (Stalinism) in order to get a job in academia. Sartre was never a good Marxist anyways, but neither were any of the French for that matter. Sure he was critical of Heidegger (at least Sartre talks about freedom!), but I feel like he is still very much influenced by the problems Heidegger poses. But I absolutely despire Heidegger and the influence that he's had. I remember reading the entirety of Being and Time for a course taught by a jewish professor sympathetic to Heidegger. It was then that I learned even jews could be sympathetic to nazi ideas. And despite the teenaged edgelords on this site, there's nothing remotely /fa/ about nazism.

Nowadays I try not to read any philosophy written after Hegel (I take seriously his claim that he's the end of philosophy)

>>9709240
>Stand By Me not listed
Holy plebbing fuck

>>9713060
yes, I suppose I forgot about that one. He experiments with a lot of different kinds of characters in that one, right? It's more disjointed than his more well-known works, right?

He still has quite a few years left of productive activity, so hopefully he can write something new. I've read some of his recent short stories he's been getting published in the New Yorker, but they aren't nearly as good as some of his earlier stories in something like the Elephant Vanishes

i really hope he can break out of his slump. he's honestly the only living novelist I bother keeping up with

What about that children's book, The Strange Library? I got it for my little sister and it was rather different but beautiful all the same.

>>9713118
I haven't read it yet. I didn't even know it came out until my friend told me about it after I suggested she read Murakami. She was supposed to send it to me but then she lost it (?) apparently. I want to read it, maybe I'll just go to barnes and noble and read it in one sitting.

But I've been re-reading Kafka on the Shore recently and have been thinking that it's actually a YA novel. If I were a high school english teacher I would assign it

>>9713151
i forgot i already went to barnes and noble and they had the book shrinkwrapped so you couldn't open it

>>9713151
Idk if I would call him YA. Because we would first have to settle the issue of what classifies as Ya, then ultimately discuss pure and mass literature. I think we should just examine and analyze murakami's texts. I'm quite interested in his understanding of selfhood in a cosmopolitan meta-fiction: Sputnik sweetheart and Kafka on the shore, and somewhat in after dark

>>9713187
i was referring to kafka on the shore specifically. the protagonist is a 15 y/o boy after all, in a process of self-discovery and to a lesser extent, sexual exploration. I don't really care for the label of "YA" either, I was just thinking how if I were a HS english teacher I would think about assigning it

>>9713198
Well Proust's protagonist in the Search is roughly around 13 in the book. I agree I think that assigning Kafka on the shore to high school student would be great because I think they could relate more to the hyper accelerated modernity in murakami's works.

>>9713214
>because I think they could relate more to the hyper accelerated modernity in murakami's works.
where are you getting that from? it's not in kafka on the shore, the kid spends most of his time either in an old library or in a cabin in the woods, completely isolated from the rest of the world. I think you're projecting theoretical themes onto a book when they simply aren't there

Did you just ignore that? Because those "theoretical themes" exist in his works. I don't think you understanding projection nor comparative literature

>>9714118
The dialectical process of irony in philosophy since Plato is quite hard to grasp.

You either choose to point out serious problems by being ironic, as Plato or Nietzsche, or to hide your irony by pointing out serious problems, as Kant or Descartes.

Sartre tried to hide serious problems under simulated irony to obtain social success which he seemed to disdain as if it was a serious problem resulting in his eyes not being able to focus on one thing at the same time

>>9713013
if you can read french definitely check out vian's "L'écume des jours" or "Froth on the Daydream" in english. It sucks that Vian never really got the recognition he deserves for his masterpiece. "Automne à Pékin" is also a good read. (Autumn in Peking is the english version). I read both of these in french so idk how well they translate to english but they were both incredible.
