Edgy translation tee bee haich.
He was right though it's all trash.

Honestly, yeah.

Theatre is prostitution though and all actors and miscellaneous theatrefags need to be put back-bound, put inside a pile of tires and set on fire desu

Finnegans Wake

Coleridge said Fielding’s Tom Jones, Sophocles’s Oedipus Rex and Ben Jonson’s The Alchemist

How many levels of irony are you on right now?

Heres an example of what made me go last time for inspirotion, written by my friend Michel
>Flors is at the stall. He looked at a light fixture. His cock was toilet paper white and pale light. He pressed against the warm red bulb and it heated the gonads. In an instant, a seed shot blew from his cock over the entire light fixture. To his concern, he found his sperm chain had joined the metal, forever.

>So the world's foremost literary critic can see talent in Lin

Beatniks.
You might also like Kurt Vonnegut though

If I had such plebeian tastes, I'd unironically kill myself.

>>8192462
If I was you I'd kill myself too

Like reading a Tom Clancy thriller in Bulgarian where you have to stop every word and look it up in a Bulgarian<->English dictionary.

Some bad translation of a good book.

Shakespeare's four great tragedies (or maybe some Racine's works?)

>>8192538
Fuck you

>>8192347

Rum Diaries obviously. But you really won't do much reading, trust me on that. Travelling and reading don't go along all that well.

>>8192354

Well I'm learning Chinese simultaneously, but I'd love to read as well on those 20+ hours bullet train trips.

>>8192347

You can just admit you're a pleb if you'd like and i can give you YA recommendations.

Lurking.
I'm interested in any equivalent this may have too.

>>8192323
I assume OP means something that would teach you how to write or read critically

When it became popular
Apparently it isn't considered genius if it popular.

It's your fault for spamming it here

I'd be willing to bet the majority of people who aren't literature readers don't finish it.

The Dharma Bums for pseudo-spiritual comfy.
Big Sur for sad comfy.
Lonesome Traveler for short story of just Kerouacian description comfy.

This album for maximum comfy listening to Kerouac reading his own work with accompagnying piano:

Doesn't get much more comfy listen to this laying around drinking wine desu.

Pleb.

>>8191917
Read Simone de Beauvoir- The Second Sex, then Judith Butler- Gender Trouble. You can go on with pretty much anything else then.

That's a big rabbit.

The Kuran

Only Ulysses and Finnegans wake are 'incomprehensible' for the general population.
That starter kit is actually pretty nice.

>>8191891
Pretty decent, it's all pretty accessible and if you enjoy it you might enjoy less accessible stuff.

> I notice Joyce is on there, I thought his stuff was incomprehensible?
Dubliners itself is pretty straight-forward. Though he has written some very dense and intimidating books none of it is incomprehensible.

All those books are good. If you read, liked and understood the stranger you should be able to read most of the books on this chart.
Dubliners is accessible, it is not nearly as difficult as Ulysses or Finnegans wake.
Tell me what you are interested in reading and I can recommend which of those books to read (I've read them all).
