Post some of the greatest works of the 2010's. I haven't

>>9498043
You guys haven't finished reading the Greeks yet or what?

>>9498043
>The instructions will be the only one remembered though.

that's not how you spell the buried giant anon

>>9498131
The general public didn't like that one though. Maybe you are right. Ishiguro is more likely to be remembered on the whole. His books are great. Really love remains, unconsoled and never let me go.

>>9498152
the correlation between general public opinion and lasting legacy is i would say close to 0

The Infatuations - Javier Marias
The Illogic of Kassel - Enrique Vila-Matas
Naked - Jean Philippe Toussaint

>>9498043
Kyle Minor's Praying Drunk

El Hombre que Amaba a Los Perros

(The Man Who Loved Dogs)

What's up with this Instructions meme the last few months?

>>9499603
I guess people have finally read it. The book was hilarious. I loved it.

>>9498711
Lol

>>9499651
>I loved it.
Why

>>9499670
Because it was funny and I like funny books. Any book that can actually make me laugh out loud I will like.

>>9499657
Why lol

>>9499673
You really can't give me anything else? You read a thousand page book and the only positive thing you can say about it is that it's funny, and that you like it because you like funny books. C'mon anon, inspire us a little.

>>9499688
It's not his job to inspire you you lame duck.

>>9499677
It's a project that seems ambitious but is not. At turns where it's meant to be emotional it's not. The format of the book is great, but he does nothing with it. You wouldn't be able to guess that Saunders had any passion, had done years of research, and had published several well regarded short story collections.
It's flaccid and I haven't been so disappointed in such a long time. An empty treasure chest.

>>9499695
So? I'm not asking him to shill it. It's just really silly to read and a thousand page book and say nothing but "it's funny and I like funny books". I've read a little bit of it and thought, "I've seen enough Wes Anderson movies this lifetime."
Just was asking for more.
>i like it because it was good
>i don't like it because it was shit
ok.
ok.

>>9499688
I really don't care if people read it senpai. Honestly I wouldn't recommend it unless you read shit loads of books and have a Hankering for another giant doorstopper. Gurion is just a genious shit fucker who likes to cause riff raff and decides to start a revolt with his friends against the man that's holding him down (the people holding down the Jews) at his school for retards and that's all it is man. One single day. Spaced over 1000 pages. Like you said it's kinda like Rushmore from West Anderson. I find kids doing adult shit funny.

>>9499698
Fuck I want to read that.

>>9499733
Do you find the influence of DFW on the book to be overstated?

>>9499748
It basically comes down to
- they are kids
- they are at school
- the book is long


Also beware the book is really Jewish and I know how much you 4chan lads hate the Jews.

>>9499758
Will I read a lot of yiddish? I'm pretty into phrases like "why don't you go shit in the ocean" and bringing up how the local Schantz Real Estate agency sounds like schvantz real estate.

>>9499762
Yeah there are a few sayings but it isn't that bad. It doesn't punish the goyim. It's nothing like witz. That shit was retarded. A lot of the time I barely knew what I was reading.

fucking love the jewish identity shit

minorities should step their writing game up t.b.h

Really didn't like Bardo. The rest of his stuff is good/great. You liked it more than, say, Pastoralia?
