rec for pleb who wants to be patrician

>>8620826
all of those are memes, no discernible talent

>>8620826
how pleb are you exactly? i assume youre at least familiar with high school lit

what literature do you like now?

>>8620837
I honestly haven't read much since high school. In high school I liked Knowles, Dickens, and Ellison; in my spare time my favorite authors are Vonnegut, Adams, Durrell, Runyon, and Asimov.

You've chosen some obscure books. I've only read Satantango, which i liked very much. It was hard to follow but some good writing. Similar to 2666 in some parts. Good read and a strong rec. The movie is also really good and where i found out about the book.

I haven't heard of the other two, if you do read them make a post telling people how patrician you are and whether they're good or not. Why didn't you just go for Ulysses/Gravity's Rainbow like everyone else?

I like Mathews, he's an interesting author, but I never read this particular book.

I'm assuming I'll have to read Ulysses at some point in my college career. Don't really have a good answer for why not Gravity's Rainbow; I guess that's one to read as well.

Which book of his have you read? What were your thoughts on it?

You cant jump right in. If you do that, you'll just end up hating this shit. Read something you like, then read something like it.Dont worry, eventually you'll be a jaded prick who actually ENJOYS this garbage instead of one of the many who only pretend to.

How can I know what I'll like until I've read it, though? At least the plot description of Satantango sounded interesting
