I´m undecided, either The Plague or Dead Souls. I might want something "lighter" after Demons, so i could go with The Plague. I read The Myth of Sisyphus before Zeno too

I didn't like it as much as I thought I would, but I still enjoyed it a lot. Thompson is one of those writers who basically takes stream of consciousness and gets it ripped on acid. He's capable of moments of incredible beauty, but he's not really for everyone.

Give it a try, see if you like him.

How's The Anatomy of Melancholy? I'm thinking about starting it soon. It's been taunting me from my shelf for a few weeks now.

>>9466097
It is Dostoevsky lite.
It's funny and has the same type of scandal scenes seen in his more important books. You can also see prototypes of future characters.
It's not as good as his major books, but it is still enjoyable (and better than most critics have made it seem imo). I recommend it to anyone that has read the major books and wants more Dostoevsky.
It's in the same league as the double and the gambler.

yeah those were probably my two favorites as well. don't worry though wolves of the calla is pretty great too, if maybe a little slow moving.
song of susannah is the weakest of the series, but then the last book is pretty epic (maybe a little too epic, since it felt like he tried to shove way too much into it just because he was committed to the idea of 7 books being the perfect number.)
i feel if he fleshed out the last book into two books it could've felt a little less forced
but you've got a lot to look forward to, i hope you enjoy them as much as i did.
