I study both.

Because for some reason the people who teach kids in film school have a tendency to fill their heads with pretentious memes about art. It must be something like that, especially with the way things are going now.

Because novels have more than a thousand words, duh.

You'll soon find out style is of much greater relevance than an author's political agenda.

Even then, all the books you've listed have little or nothing to do to the modern wimpy "cucked" fabianism that passes as progressism these days.

>tfw if OP actually met a person of significant character he'd shit his pants

>Have I simply been brainwashed by cultural Marxism in college and liberal media?
No, you're just reading books without taking your own personal differences with the author into consideration. There isn't really anything wrong with that. Your question is pretty pointless and easily answered so I'll just assume you're an underaged b& faggot looking for attention

I know it's a meme but towards the beginning of Infinite Jest, the part about flying cockroaches going to sleeping babies and sucking on their eye mucus and making them blind scared the shit out of me.

To keep physical books sales going.

>Buying eBooks.

>>8318502
To be fair depending on translations, P&V and Maudes translations are very, very hard to attain for free online. All the free ebook sites, gutenberg, soulseek and shit only have the shit tier translators for almost every non-English text.

Like a dolphin

dying has its rough edge.
no escaping now.
the warden has his eye on me.
his bad eye.
I'm doing hard time now.
in solitary.
locked down.
I'm not the first nor the last.
I'm just telling you how it is.
I sit in my own shadow now.
the face of the people grows dim.
the old songs still play.
hand to my chin, I dream of
nothing while my lost childhood
leaps like a dolphin
in the frozen sea.

- Charles Bukowski

The Lake Isle of Innisfree

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

- W. B. Yeats

The cold mountain turns dark green.
The autumn stream flows murmuring on
As I lean on my staff beneath the wicket gate
In the rushing wind I hear the cry of the aged cicada

- Wang Wei

Eugene Ionesco - Rhinoceros (absurdist)
Shakespeare - The Tempest and King Lear (in case you havent hit them)
Plautus - Pot of Gold
Marlowe - Doctor Faustus
Ibsen - A Doll's House

Beckett - Waiting for Godot

Chekhov - Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, The Cherry Orchard
O'Casey - Three Dublin plays
Probably check out Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, Tom Stoppard etc

I've never seen /lit/ speak fondly of Coelho, just refer to him as cheesy trash.

This. Every Coelho thread completely shits on him. I have no idea how /lit/ would "trick" you into reading him.

Bump because this thread needs to outlive the diaper one

>>8318263
Complementary bump because I agree with this reply

I'd just recommend reading Nietzsche's complete works translated by Kaufmann, read all his footnotes and annotations carefully though

>>8318324
I'm apprehensive about jumping into Nietzsche, what would you say are some of his easier works?

>>8318176
Almost all pulp novels are 10/10 comfy

>tfw you will never again sit on your dads lap as he reads treasure island while you drift slowly to sleep after which he carries you up and tucks you into your bed with a slight smile of satisfaction seeing his only son resting soundly innocent of worldly troubles
