Bunny was somehow more sympathetic than he had any right to be

If you know any books that gave you the same vibe as this one, post them.

Yes. I've heard /lit/ say all sorts of things about this book, but I enjoyed it. Probably one of my favorites as far as setting and personage goes.

Agreed. After finishing it I realized that he was probably the most likeable character.

Post more books about fancy schools too.

I read this book way before I stumbled onto /lit/, and while I would have to read it again for posterity's sake to make absolutely sure-- I think I can reasonably say it is at least three quarters as good as I remember, and that is very good.

I read this my Junior year of High School Latin and it really opened my eyes to literature in a major way. It helped that we also read some other based shit. This was a companion piece we read to Euripides' Bacchae, and George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion also served as a companion piece for Ovid's Metamorphoses. Probably my favorite class throughout all four years.

Fantastic book. The characters are all so different in their own flawed way and everytime I read it it's like I'm sucked into the world.

As for other books like it, "The Goldfinch" by Tartt has some of its cool aspects even though I preferred Secret History overall. Don't go into "The Goldfinch" expecting "Secret History Part 2" though, they're very different books.

Haven't read either, but I believe The Book And The Brotherhood is similar.
