22. Only got seriously into literature a year and a half ago. Before that it was just the occasional entry-level or sci-fi or King book.

Based on Art of Love alone, I'd recommend Reasons of Love by Harry Frankfurt. Instead of being a sort of "self-help" kind of book it goes more in depth of what it means to 'love' and the difference between it, desire, want, etc. It's a scholarly book more than anything.

I'm actually only about halfway through at the moment but so far it's been decent. It's clearly written and does a good job of linking modern psychology, Jungian psychoanalysis, literatue, and philosophy without coming across as pop-psy garbage. I'm at an odd transitional point in my life and this is helping me make sense of it. Would recommend for anybody who feels lost and unfulfilled by the dominant culture. I also just downloaded the free PDF version off his website.

The Invention of Morel

>>9426246
Nada, by Carmen Laforet

>>9426306
He leido 2666 (cojonudo) y Los detectives salvajes (irregular). Me tienta La literatura nazi en América. ¿Alguna recomendación?

>>9426312
¿Por qué me lo recomiendas?

>>9426398
Putas asesinas me gusta mucho (historias cortas). Estrella distante, Nocturno de Chile, son muy buenos. Te diría Amuleto, pero sólo si te gustó el pasaje de Auxilio Lacouture en Detectives: el libro lo narra ella muy a su manera.

La invención de Morel es una nouvelle un tanto Borgeasiana de rápida lectura. Aún no me decido sobre su valor de relectura, es cierto que la estructura es interesante, pero no puedo dejar de pensar que la trama es determinante a lo que quiere hacer el libro, y en ese caso no tendría demasiado valor de relectura (la prosa no me resulta especialmente atractiva). Eso sí, al menos una lectura vale la pena, aún si es solamente por la imagen sublime que ocurre al final del libro.

Perdón, sobre La invención de Morel me faltó decir que el libro gira alrededor de un concepto borgesiano y a mi forma de ver ese es el principal atractivo. Eso sí, el estilo de Bioy es distinto al de Borges, lo cuál está muy bien.

Stoner
Iliad
Physics - Aristotle
Philosophical Consequences of Quantum Theory: Reflections on Bell's Theorem
Anti-Intellectualism in American Life

>>9426398
La Literatura Nazi en América está bien, es al final un juego muy borgiano siguiendo a autores y libros inexistentes. La verdad es interesante pero no es lo que más me ha gustado de Bolaño.
Yo recomendaría las novelas cortas, en especial Nocturno de Chile y Una Novelita Lumpen. Estrella distante también está bastante bien.
De cuentos la colección que mas me ha gustado es Putas asesinas, pero Llamadas también esta muy bien mas o menos en el mismo estilo.
Su poesía es bastante insalvable IMO.

Pretty fun read if you are the kind of person who likes playing around with meaning and implications.
I enjoyed "On certainty" a lot more than Tractatus though.
It's really fun using his thoughts in your day to day life, reconstructing phrases and playing around with words to your advantage.
Call me a fucking pseud but I think Witty is my favourite (western) philosopher.

>>9425658

I think Pan and Mysteries are at an equal tie for my all time favorite Hamsun.

>>9425708

Mysteries is my all time favorite Hamsun, so that'd be my recommendation. Out of the ones there, I'd say Under the Autumn Star and Wayfarers are tied for best.

The last three (Wayfarers, August, The Road Leads On) are part of a trilogy which combines his wanderer motive (which I think is Hamsun's very strongest side) with social realism, critique and commentary, which I don't think Hamsun is quite as exceptionally good at. In Wayfarers, the romanticism and sense of yearning found in his early work takes precedence over the social commentary, whereas the two last parts of the trilogy are stronger in their criticism of modernity. It's not a bad critique, far from it, and it is actually very good satire and quite funny, but I think Hamsun is better as a romantic than a critic.

Under the Autumn Star also has some of the romanticism of Pan and his other early work, but it is much more grounded and mature. This means it loses the spark of madness that I thought made his earliest work in the 1890's so outstanding, but it's still very good.

>>9426577
Not the same anon, but out of curiosity, who's your favourite eastern philosopher?

>>9426594
Depends.
For spirituality, Lao-Tzu
But for everything else, I like Confucius more.

I don't really know about Zhuangzi,his vehement statements against Confucius make him a little bit unsympathetic for me.
But I enjoy the collection of analogies I have regardless.

Don't really know about buddhism/hinduism, I never read any of their texts.
I was never interested in those.

Just got Mencius' book so I should get a pretty nice picture on later confucianism, hopefully.

>>9426583
Thanks I'll be picking up Mysteries next then.
>it loses the spark of madness that I thought made his earliest work in the 1890's so outstanding, but it's still very good.
Wondering what did you think of Growth of the Soil then? I really enjoyed it for the lyric passages describing nature and the relationship between wilderness and man, which reminded me of Pan at times (also my favourite Hamsun) but in a much more measured and mature tone, which I thought was a perfect match for the story.

>>9422203
Really loving Kierkegaard's lyrical prose. But I fear that I might not fully comprehend the essence of this book as 1. I have never approached a single work of or related to Hegel 2. I am not a Christian, as you might have surmised from my list, which is quite a shame really

>>9426501
La poesía de Bolaño sólo sirve para que pudiera escribir el resto desde la posición de poeta fracasado.
Ay, tengamos hijos <3

>>9426867
I've only read fragments of his but his prose always struck me as incredibly tortured and beautiful. You might want to read up some secondary sources (always a good idea with philosophy). The Stanford entry on Kirkergaard can help you at least with the christian themes and certainly with the critique to Hegel.

>>9426914
Lmao muy cierto. Te recomiendo a Nicanor Parra si quieres leer lo que Bolaño intentó en verso, pero con mucho mas humor y valor literario.
