>"He cocked the piece. Then went over and sat down on the unoccupied twin bed, looked at the girl, aimed the pistol, and fired a bullet through his right temple."

Uuuhh... what in the fuck...
Did I just read about a suicidal pedo vet with a foot fetish?

My only experiance with Salinger has been Catcher in the Rye, this was not expected, or very comfy.

Journey to the East is gr8 m8. Come back in 20 minutes when you're done with and tell us how it went.

Ulysses bruh. Hesse and Salinger can be thrown in the receptacle. Hit Midnight's Children if you rolled your eyes at Ulysses

B-but muh Demian, Siddhartha, and Catcher in the Rye.

I'm a bit intimidated by Joyce's other works, but I still plan to get to them eventually, I was very impressed with what I've read of his so far though.
I'll look into Midnight's Children, I was planning on reading Rushdie eventually anyway.

OP I've heard Journey to the East is more enjoyable if you've read Hesse's other works beforehand

>>9747221
Hesse isn't worth reading . None of his work is. Read the Nine Stories, they're comfy af.

Then read Salinger's best work when you're done with that: Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters

>Hermann Hesse
Is Siddhartha jsut the dumbed down and simplified evrsion of Narziß und Goldmund?

>>9750695
No.

>>9749356
:^)

>>9748127
Yeah, I don't know why he said comfy. Salinger is anything but comfy, unless your idea of comfiness involves social alienation and spiritual angst

>>9749356
>>9750695
Ignore these people. Hesse is an unmatched genius and Siddhartha is his greatest work

>>9747221
You read Look Homeward, Angel next, because it was heavily inspired by portrait. It's also a great masterpiece, so you won't be disappointed.

Please don't follow Joyce with old german Coelho: read Salinger, if those are your only two options.
