Objectively, values don't have an intrinsic existence, i.e. don't exist by themselves, but rather via one's conceptualization, meaning, v?lues ?re spooks (Άδοξος). Step up your game.

>Dostoevsky
For his major works, especially The Idiot and Crime & Punishment. Excited to re-read The Brothers Karamazov this year.
>Homer
Primarily for the Iliad, but the Odyssey is wonderful too.
>Sophocles
For the Oedipus trilogy, especially Oedipus Rex. Ajax is also great, and Electra is good.
>Tennyson
Exclusively for Idylls of the King. Incredible poem and very moving. Looking into the rest of his poetry very soon, and most excited for his In Memoriam A.H.H.
>Toss-up between Turgenev for Fathers and Sons, and Cervantes for Don Quixote. Leaning towards Turgenev, but recognize that Don Quixote is the superior novel.

>>9276552
I would have thought your tastes would have evolved beyond this at age 27, did you start reading last year or something

>>9276559

I stopped reading fiction at 22, because the majority of what I've read for the past 5 years has been academic trash, with the occasional book to keep my sanity.

Great taste anon

>>9276626

How are his other books, have they even been translated into English? Loved Petersburg especially how experimental it was.

>>9276630
The Silver Dove is pretty good a bit slow moving and not as experimental, still enjoyable though.

The Dramatic Symphony and Kotik Letaev are really great and just as experimental, if not more than Petersburg.

I still have yet to read the Christened Chinaman or his essay collections, but they're very high on my list. I believe the first part of his Moscow trilogy was just translated into English last year too.

Who cares? It made me think about what writers I liked best and why, so I guess it made me appreciate the impact they made on me more, which was nice. Then I posted my list because I thought it might encourage people with similar taste to look into writers I think are worthwhile. I included my age so that people don't think I'm an 18yo or some similar age without enough life experience to actually appreciate lit. But I guess it only made you worry about me being data-mined. :\
