How do you honestly self bump this thread.

How can you really manage to tell yourself that this thread is worth anyone's fucking time.

I underestimate how lonely you people are. Do you come here to discuss books, or throw bookly words around but really just validate each other???

lmao. I'm looking for a new book to read. I've tried reading nausea, notes from underground, and the passion according to g h, but those were too difficult. So I am trying to find a new book to read all the way through lmao omg dude seriously I am in such a horny mood this morning.

Nausea is kind of hard to get through, I almost gave up on it after about 100 pages. I later picked it up again and finished reading it and I'm glad I did, it definitely gets better and there are some lines and thoughts in there which will stick with you

These are the ones I've read:-

Less Than Zero - Very good. It's about bored LA teenagers with too much money and too little supervision. Pretty disturbing most of the time. The interludes between chapters are especially good.

Steppenwolf - The best on your list. Although how much you enjoy it depends mainly on your age. If you're old enough to have felt existential angst, this book offers a solution. Nice trippy ending too.

Slaughterhouse Five - Pretty good. Vonnegut is reliable, but not exactly exciting IMO.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - One of the best sci-fi stories out there. Very different to Blade Runner. Weird and thought-provoking.

Junky - Good fun, and pretty hair-raising. Apparently it's largely autobiographical. Burroughs liked to live on the edge ...

Brave New World - I was disappointed. Huxley was a superb prose stylist, but there's little evidence of it here. The ending is also a bit too vague for its own good. The words "left hanging" spring to mind.

Hermann Hesse is the most accessible of the existentialists IMO. You might try Demian, which is at least nice and short.
