The Book of the New Sun. I found myself making bleak choices for myself for bare reasons for like a month. I wish I could read it again for the first time.

>>9655801
Currently reading Heart of Darkness and I've been finding it very immersive.

The elder scrolls: morrowind

>>9655801
Define immersive.

If it's what I think it is, then Dante's Inferno, The Odyssey, or Ulysses.

>>9655870
Same here.
>tfw you will never hold Dorcas' supple hands.

>>9655801
Crime and punishment.
Holy shit you really feel the guilty and paranoia of Raskolnikov.

>>9655801
No Longer Human because I am him to a t, not just in attitudes and mannerisms and personality but also in background. It felt like reading about myself it was really weird

my diary desu

>>9655870
I don't know, I wouldn't deserve the intense urge to convert to Catholicism as immersive.

>>9655908
>tfw you get to the part about the dying slaves in the trees and have an incredible urge to run away yourself

>>9655801
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.

I don't think any other book managed to make me care for the characters like OFOTCN did.

Generally I think I have a pretty vivid imagination but there were times while reading OFOTCN where I actually felt like I was there with them.

War and Peace or A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man

It drags you in without your knowing. Fucking impressive

>>9655801
the wind up bird chronicle
somthing about murakami, there are better writers but he just keeps those pages flowin' man

The first half of Crime and Punishment with Raskolnikov wandering the streets of Petersburg mindfucked, tied with the last few scenes of Grendel after Beowulf reveals himself to be the Waterbearer and shit gets really real.

>>9655908
Seconding Heart of Darkness.

Moby-Dick

>>9657499
what's up with it being memed really hard here these past couple of weeks?

confusions of young torless

The Big Sleep or any Chandler for that matter. I just dig 1940s California.

Don Quixote. Even the numerous digressions that form detailed backstories to characters you won't see ever again in the book are exciting to read.

Also the Duke and Duchess fucking with Don Quixote and Sancho, Sancho eventually getting his own island to govern and not quite enjoying it as much as he hoped.

The book is such a treat.

Kokoro.

>tfw you are being cucked by your superior friend too

My Struggle Volume 4.

Really felt like I was a horny 19 year old teaching English in a comfy Norwegian town.

>>9659054
>Tfw I've only watched the anime adaption of this
It was good, but I still feel like a pleb.

>>9657537
I got bored and quit after the part he went to a weird woman who sucked his neck and made him cum. Was that just a slump in the book or is it all downhill from there?

The Book of Ebenezer Le Page for sure. Its written in Guersney dialect which makes it extra atmospheric (and comfy too)

>Zweig
Underrated author

>>9663444

True, are all of his books even translated?
maybe his prose is just to hard to translate properly

I love his book-series on other authors (Dostoevsky, Nietzsche etc.)

>>9655801
The first part of Robinson Crusoe (Early life -> England)
The first part of the Pale King (Sylvanshine on the plane)
The first part of Moby-Dick (before the plot fades into the background)
Ancient History: A Paraphase
The Iliad
