I've been having too much free time lately, and I've been willing to read good books, would you mention a book (and the genre) that you would definitely recommend?
>>
1984, orwell, dystopian science fiction
>>
The crying of lot 49
It is a book about executing of wills and postal intrigue
>>
The Time Machine by H.G Wells.
A Time Traveller in the Victorian era goes something like 800,000 or so years into the future to cause a ruckus.

>>
Notes from underground.

It contains thoughts and stories from the perspective of a bitter and an isolated man.

Try reading some Greek Tragedies, they deal with the same sorts of passions and entanglements that we all experience but presented in a purer and more concentrated and extreme form.

Try getting The Complete Greek Tragedies edited by Grene and Lattimore

Then maybe read Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy
>>

One should never recommend an entire genre.

There are examples of unpolished turds in every conceivable category of human endeavor.
