Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5 may be the only decent book there.

Otherwise Each Day with Jesus.

pick up that amy tan book son

>>8983207
I didn't just mean from the shelf. I meant from the store

>>8983176
Her son? Not your son?
a distant shriek is heard: "cuck"

This is some advanced shit-posting right here. Somebody give this man an Autie.

Nothing good here

>>8983331
If I had to pick just one from here I'd go with empire of the sun

>>8983381
I'd also go with Empire of the Sun.

Ambrose collected writings would be fine, too.

Which two of these should I get: The silmarillion, TS Elliot poems and plays, or Franz Kafka complete stories

>>8983163
Kurt Vonnegut
>>8983320
None, although some are fond of Allende I personally hate her, she's YA tier but with hispanic themes.
>>8983331
Jane Austen is never bad, I liked the book of ilussions and I hear the new york trilogy ain't bad.
I spot a NYRB which I haven't read and I like that publisher/editorial, might be good. Plus they don't print that many so it's always a good catch usually.
>>8983364
I hear Lucia Berlin is alright but I've never read her.
Borges is top notch, get Ficciones at least.
The savage detectives is a recommended read around here and I agree, it's pretty good.
>>8983391
I don't like bukowski but some enjoy him, he's pretty edgy.
Some people recommend naked lunch (I've never read it).
I see the stranger by camus and some book by italo calvino, both are good authors.
>>8983398
I liked a book by coetzee but I don't see it there, boyhood is said to be nice but I don't know.
Also, Silmarillion only if you enjoyed LOTR, otherwise it might feel like a chore. TSE is fantastic, if only to have the waste land at home for reference at some point in your life, it's online though.
Kafka is superb but I don't know about translations and what edition it is. That said, he's a must read.
