The Good Soldier Svjek by Jaroslav Hasek is criminally underrated.

Otherwise: Les Dieux Sont Soif by Anatole France, Nostromo by Joseph Conrad, Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and anything by Flann O Brienn that isn't The Third Policeman.

Anything non-meme essentially.

I really want to read that one anon. But the libraries around here doesn't have it, and I'm piss poor atm.
Life is suffering.

I'll throw in Eduard Levé - selfportrait.

>>8056096
Yeah I totally get where that guy's coming from. Russell seems like he hates everything and just wants to come up with a "rational" reason to make people uncomfortable.

>>8056106
Analytics in essence. Corruption of the mind.

>assigning arbitrary values of "good" and "evil" to human actions
There's absolutely nothing wrong with hating other people.

just read them in order. fuckin christ

Depends on what you mean by "better":

-Chronologically, Ambassadors was "written"/dictated before Wings but published after.
-Ambassadors is an easier read and shorter.
-In the New York Edition, James himself put Wings before Ambassadors.

>>8071442
Well, I believe he wrote The Ambassadors first, but published it after The Wings of the Dove. I assume you're arguing that I should read The Ambassadors first, then. Thank you for your input!

Women lack imagination and artistic discernment and, in the free market, their book covers will reflect that

mate i get bombarded by shitty romance novel ads on my kindle. all generic as fuck but the descriptions are worth a chuckle

The Bhagavad Gita sounds pretty cool.

Interested but never really knew how to begin

what's that story with the guy who's lined up in a battle getting ready to fight his brother and he starts to question what he's doing and why all this is happening, how he got to the point of killing his brother, and then some deity manifests and explains that the true nature of reality is a grinding grinning bloodscream and that to fight and kill and win is what the whole damn thing is about.

what was that one again? I remember reading it years ago but I can't recall the name.

>>8070424
>well-structured and maybe less faithful
This. Definitely. But it also depends on the adaptation, a lot of great movies have been made that stand completely independently from the books they are based on, while others try to gain reputation by standing in the shadow of the book. These films will almost always fail and disappoint.

>>8070133
Lol, how do I post this shit? Sorry I'm used to posting images, but how does one post like a word document?

>liking your own work

>>8070017
Is it so wrong to take pride in one's own labour? In something you made? Isn't that pride the driving force that makes you want to keep writing?

>>8070020
Inflated sense of pride usually goes hand in hand with hating your own work.

>I am most interested in the existentialist philosophers and I know someone is probably going to say to start with the greek philosophers, but I'm not really sure I want to do that unless I'm really sold on the idea. I'm sorry, I just don't want to waste time unless I feel in my heart that it's going to be worth while.

Philosophy is not for you.

>Sartre

Fucking don't. Same goes for Foucault and all the other hacks like Habermas/Deleuze/etc.

You only need Schopenhauer.

>>8069923
You're saying not to bother with Nietzsche or Camus?
