I dunno. The taste in books here is agreeable, but the discussion here is very subpar. It's like a refuge for burnt out academics.

>DeLillo
>DFW

>Kierkegaard

>>7476224
Thanks! I never used to like Wordsworth, but in the past year he's grown on me so much with his concern with memory and deadening materialism. I think he's one of those authors you have to grow older with to really appreciate.

Woolf is just the most beautifully sensitive novelist. Nothing makes me cry like the end to The Waves. ;_;

>>7476238
I just wanna talk about books. Not listen to aspiring writers babble about how difficult it is to be a writer and how they can't find a gf.

1. Irvine Welsh
2. Chuck Palahniuk
3. Neil Gaiman
4. HP Lovecraft
5. Henry Miller

I've only very recently rekindled my love for reading, so my list is going to be incredibly lackluster.

In no particular order.

Dostoevsky
Shelly
Crichton
Dickens
Le Guin

>>7476243
You should not be ofended... I think this place is a refuge for a lot of students around the world. There should be no shame in that, it is totally normal.
And, matter of fact, what you are doing right now contradict what you are saying.
