Never heard of him before but he sounds interesting. Should I also read him?

Metroland or Flaubert's Parrot? Both sound interesting on first glance but I don't want to read about them beyond a sentence or two if I'm going to give them a shot myself.

Siddhartha is met with universal acclaim because it's so aware, so simple, so meaningful, and just so damn cozy to read.

I recommend this book to this entire board so I can stop reading dumb faggots perpetuating their misconceptions about the relationship between physics and philosophy

>being offended by immigrants, woman, and intelligence

sounds like classic /pol/ to me.

OP and actual /pol/ browser here. Intelligent immigrant women are objectively the best marital partners out there right now. He's probably just some beta.

Lolita is another book I recommend to people with more dark humour.

Flaubert's Parrot is better, I'd say. Though it's very postmodern.

Check out A History of the World in 10½ Chapters as well. It's a novel/short story collection hybrid about history and its relation to fiction, art, religion. There love thrown in there as being better than all of the things mentioned because it's the only universal thing that works for everyone.

Noise of Time is his latest one, also great. About Shostakovich and his work. History is the main theme again.

A Sense of an Ending, more light of a read.
