I want to read some.
What are your thoughts on him?
Which book should I get first?

read the nigga of the dasracis
>>9014005
Heart of Darkness, then Nostromo.
I just finished Victory and it was the first/only Conrad I've read
It was beautifully written and I enjoyed the overall themes but it felt a little long-winded at points. Are his other works similar?
>>9014077
Yes. Nostromo. The nigger of the narcissus and the secret agent are all worth reading though. I gave up half way through under western eyes. Sounded interesting as a riposte to dosto but was incredibly tedious.

read these two, but only half of nostromo it was all too heavy for me, great writer but i just dont have the english level for it
>>9014005
Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim would be my picks.

Keep working at it, friend. English wasn't Conrad's first language also.

sad thing is, it is mine. oh to be a little shit again that spent his days getting in trouble and had no cares
Right. Went to my local bookstore and got Nostromo (the only Conrad they had). Will start reading tonight.
Thank you all, you guys are great.
