Who are some writers you are planning on reading but haven't yet? Why them?
>>
Could probably list 100. Specifically, I've been meaning to read Celine, Kawabata, John Williams, John Hawkes, Pessoa, and Pushkin
>>
The Gass man.
I'm pretty new to literature and I've read excerpts here and there of his writing including an essay of his and his prose seemed incredibly alluring and powerful.
I'm looking forward to getting around to reading him.
>>
Gogol
Twain
Hesse
>>
>>8882753
>Twain
Same here but I don't know where to start.

Gogol though, Nabokov wrote a small book about him and you may consider it after you've read Gogol's major works like Dead Souls and The Nose.
>>
Dostoevski
Tolstoy
Poe
Nabokov
Twain
>>
>>8882764
I'm starting with Hick Finn and then reading some short stories.
>>
>>8882753
I've been reading Gogol'a short stories.
Pretty bizarre but so good. So good
>>
>>8882990
That's great to hear. I've actually bought a collection of his short stories. I figured that would be a good place to start, friend.
>>
>>8882703
Tolstoy
Nabokov
McCarthy
Steinbeck
Hemingway

Heard they were good
>>
>>8882703
Why are those nips so wonky?
>>
>>8883030
Why are you a virgin?
>>
Got quite the list
Jack Vance
Leo Tolstoy
Roger Zelazny
A. E. van Vogt

Just have a giant backlog to get ride of before I think of picking up MORE books
>>
>>8882703
fapping to this picture will make you white
>>
>>8883040
Same reason as you, fag
>>
Stevian Heartbound

I think his "to kill a god" will be great
>>
>>8882768
Read Tom Sawyer before Huck Finn, won't take you long.
>>
Calvino
Faulkner
Hemingway

Can never never get around tho these fellas even though they are super canon as fuck. I guess this is what Christmas break is for.
>>
>>8882703

Photography is so fucked up. Any pic with tits becomes 10/10 by default because tits are great. It doesn't matter if you're a skilled photographer or not so long as you know some cheap whores. How is that fair?
>>
>>8883426
photography is an art for retards
>>
Poe
Coelho (+NĂ³ra Oravecz, local knockoff)
Tom Clancy
Tolkien
George R.R Martin
J.K Rowling

I absolutely loathe their work. I've tried reading their books but I just can't finish them. I'll try to push through just to assure myself they're truly awful (to me) and I'm not criticizing them without reading.
>>
>>8882703
Bob Dylan. I've never liked Folk Rock. But soon.
>>
>>8882753
Siddharta is like 20 pages baka senpai
>>
>>8883433
>Coelho
>Tom Clancy
>George R.R Martin
>J.K Rowling
literally why even bother
>>
>>8883433
Poe's stuff is perfect for audiobooks, trying that might get you over the hump.
>>
>>8883459
Because they're mainstream and I'd like to believe it's not just shitty mass-"culture" and they have some redeeming qualities. I also like to know what I diss, and I want to explain why. "It's just shit" is for normies who read R.R Martin in the first place.


>>8883475

I hate audiobooks too. The closest I got to finishing one was when I listened to French spoken-word/alternative music albums I couldn't understand.
>>
>>8883378
