Infinite Jest
'On Women' by Schopenhauer
Gravity's Rainbow
Lolita
Mein Kampf
The Recognitions
2666
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
The Tunnel

>>8358018
2666 is not a meme

I suggest
infinite ____

No book will do that, but maybe some Stoic literature would act as the impetus to deal with the anxiety. Try Epictetus' Enchiridion, or Marcus Aurelius' Meditations.

Part of me thinks its intensely immoral to coerce groups of people to do anything at all, yet another part of me thinks that the human tendency towards mob-mentality borne thoughtless actions (and even entire political movements) is one to be curbed if not wholly eliminated. So I guess my answer to your question would be similarly structured to most of my answers to either/or questions: a happy medium of both.

literally the first cultural marxist intent on subverting Western civilization by promoting degeneracy, individualism, 'all is relative' cuckolding.

>"just interpret it any way you like lol"

Played into nascent capitalist (bolshevik liberal capitalism) ethos of atomized agents who pursue their own self-interest and opened up for any interpretation being as good as any other.

The original Derrida. The ultimate cuck.

the destroyer of Western civilization. The modern world's original globalist shill

The original shitposter

It's a great fucking book. I sorta see what you're talking about with Nick and Klara. A lot see the Klara sections as the weakest.

> Is Matty an aspie?

Maybe, I thought he reminded me of Pynchon, at least his secret job and then smoking weed and getting paranoid about it

The novel as a whole felt incredibly cinematic to me. Not only the creepy Texas Highway killer episodes (dat description of the video playing on CNN...)

Also, fuck the meme that the epilogue is the best part. The ending was way better.

>>8357543
I wasn't all that impressed with Nick at all. I liked the nuns and the Graffiti artist, the Lenny Bruce parts. And the black kid and his father. Didnt care much about the 70's art scene in New York. Or nick's dark secret backstory.

>>8357580
Is there a lot of art life in this book?

>>8357449

You got memed on senpai.
His poetry expresses everything in that book much more succinctly.

>it's just edgelord rambling.

Bingo.

It's edgelord rambling with great prose, basically.

Listen to >>8357461 and read his poems, especially The Message.

Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier

i swear to god it changed my life forever dude

You don't need a list. Just read what looks interesting. We can help you narrow the options down. Do you like fantasy? war stories? would you like to start with The Greeks?

Although if you really want a laundry list, here's a good site that has a bunch of them:

I personally enjoyed the Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Really made me think about death and how we should appreciate everyone in our lives, since we never know when they'll leave. Let me know if you want some other suggestions.

>>8357175
Rarely, and when i do I paraphrase unless it's a few words.
I think the Bible is the safest thing to quote aphorisms from without coming off as pretentious

>>8357175
what a shitty quote LOL

>>8357210
why is it shitty?

Sounds like you are both immature individuals, cannot wait for your novels to appear in the cringe threads.

No but srsly dude this is some retarded shit you are pulling, why not you become mad happy that you can relate with your father on a passion so deep like literature. Cmon man, grow up a little and get some emotional intelligence while you are at it buds.

I would do everything to have my father love novels like I do. Instead, I'm trying to become more savy in History and failing at it, since Ancient Rome and WWI are his highest passions rn

>>8357148
First off this is hilarious and you should write a story about it. Second you just need to tell him politely that he's distracting you. I live at home but go to school though and cant get shit done, motherfuckers are loud. Just got to focus as much as possible I guess

What a fucking weird situation. Maybe he feels like he needs to be better than you at it because he is older, and is afraid of being surpassed by his son.
