George Elliot is God tier. Probably should start with Mill on the Floss. The Bronte sisters are also pretty good.

Also have to plug some southern Gothic: Flannery O'Connor, Donna Tartt, Carson McCullers, Shirley Jackson.

In fact, I don't know why but a lot of women have written in the southern Gothic / Gothic genre. Mary Shelly and Ann Radcliffe are pretty great as well.

jane austen, all works

Damn, hillary clinton whipped sanders ass! President Trump coming next year.

I just read Wind-Up Bird which is supposed to be his best and thought it was forgettable garbage.

Just read Pynchon for your pop-culture infused magical realism, OR trash them both and read real literature.

2 - Pretty gud, kinda conservative

Just as shitty as I remember

I love this E.V Rieu translation. Not sure what the consensus is on it here though

Robert Fitzgerald is best.

Isn't really that great for textbooks and stuff you need to constantly re-read pages

>kindle
You know you could make twice as much money if you also shilled for other e-reader manufacturers who aren't Amazon? Make sure both contracts are on paper though, nomsayin?

I can only use my kindle in broad daylight cause otherwise the backlight reflects off my glasses and makes it so that I might as well not be wearing them since it's all blurry (yes, even on the lowest brightness setting).

No regrets about buying it though, and I'll still buy physical books and read them too, since like most normal people I give more of a fuck about reading the book than what format I read it in.

All the writers he namedrops.

I just got rejected from Bowdoin, first time hearing from a school- Pomona College is in less than an hour. Assuming the college acceptances are the pinnacle of high school so I don't know how it's going.

Never talked once to anyone the whole time, was miserable, stopped attending
