I felt underwhelmed upon finishing Siddhartha. Had read so many times what such a great read it is, think I went I too high. Some parts were good, but 3/5 at best from me.

In regards to the topic... I'ma have to go with Brave New World or Brother's Karamazov. Read quite a few years apart, but BNW felt life changing during my younger teens, BK late teens/early twenties.

Don't like Vonnegut so I couldn't agree with him less on SH5 but if Pynchon is anything like Vonnegut I'm glad I've skipped him.

>>8876818
He's not. At all

daily reminder that Vonnegut is Bloom-approved

Then stop looking for inspiration in a board composed solely of white males who talk solely about books written by select schools of white males (and Ayn Rand).

Read some feminist literature or something, challenge yourself and your perspectives. There's a lot going on outside of /lit/.

>Has everything in ya been done?

No.

>I can't think of anything that doesn't resemble a published work.

That's why you won't ever be published.

Take a classic work of fiction and retell it in a modern high school setting.

Me, myself and what I see when I look in a mirror

You don't understand the greeks. Restart with the Greeks. Understand the culture before reading the book with the mindset of a modern idiot.

im working on feeling entitled that people will confirm my narcissism, it's a hyper-modern meta-text compiled from late night text messages and wordpad documents, chronicling my decline into ever more absurd delusions to support the notion that I am in my own way God, because aren't we all now

>he eventually understands he can only fall asleep in movie theaters
>it works for a bit but he stops seeing his friends
>loneliness and lack of sleep make him feel like shit
>he slowly dives into madness
>the movie theater won't accept him anymore
>stops going to work
>stops leaving his flat
>completely loses his mind
>the novels ends with the character, alone, on a chair, contemplating his messy flat and messy life

I'm not sure about the ending.
