Good afternoon, my dear friends. I'd like to start saying that I have started browsing this board recently. I've read my share of books, but ever since I came here, I realized I've barely left the surface when it comes to literature, so I'd like to dive deeper.
I've gone through pic related, saw some books I had already read, but didn't really know where to start from.
Could you guys give me some suggestions? I know there s also something like "/lit/s starter pack", with Brave New World and Clockwork Orange and so on, but I'm not realy interested in those (and some of the other I've already read).
Well, thanks in advance!

are there any genres/topics/countries you're interested in in terms of literature? I've got a good few charts.

I guess I could say I'm interested in books from eastern europe... I really enjoyed Kundera's books, specially The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I do, in fact, really like there books with deep dialogues and relationships, such as some of Murakami's work.
But thats just a guess. I would really like to go further in the world of literature, any path is possible. Just dont know where to start...

Would you perhaps have something that shows the deepest feelings of people, their thoughts, anguishes, resentments, displacements from society. Something I can really connect and identify with, from the bottom of my soul to the bottom of the characters' souls

I disagree, not counting Infinite Meme it's a decent introduction to literature.

I would say "it's a meme" in that it doesn't quite accurately represent the current taste of the board, stuff like The Wasp Factory and Illuminatis were FOTM books at the time and now nobody talks about them. It's still a decent sampling of books for someone starting out, save for Harry Potter being memed on there.

If anyone has /lit/ top book charts from 2006-2013 I'd much appreciate it.

Could someone with a bit of knowledge tell me if this is a good chart or just pleb memery?
>>
>>8476037
Not him, but also looking for something along these lines. I heard Steppenwolf, by Hessel, might be a good place to start

Has Russian literature produced any classics in the 21st Century?
