It has been a very long time since I read a book that I thought was one of my favourites ever. I think it was the secret history which I read two years ago. I have been trapped reading for pseud cred since then.
I'm 2/3 through the fountainhead which is good but not tip top tier.
What is a book that will really be incredible? Everything is disappointing. The brothers Karamazov, great expectations, snow crash are recent books I was disappointed by.
A lot of post modern books are completely awful lolsorandumbshitheaps. Most old books would be ignored or slaughtered by people today, the same that praise them.
I think the idiot and demons will be typical rambling Dostoevsky shit. I read Bartleby and it makes me fear that moby dick is written by a 19th century new Yorker faggot equivalent.
War and piece seems ok from the first 50 pages. Anna Karenina sounds dull as fuck

Ishmael is a faggot, but he's just there to narrate. Moby Dick is fine, if a bit long, but some people like long Dick. I liked it, but had to take it slow.

Isn't that a Tupac song?
I jest.
If you want postmodern literature that is half-decent I recommend Catch-22. Good shit.
