Norwegian Wood is Murakami's admitted attempt at a bestseller, and it's pretty good.
Steppenwolf really is a fantastic read but the introduction in mine says many people interpret it wrong. Students tend to go through a period of Identifying with the main character, which wasn't Hesse's objective, apparently.

Haven't read the others but they're probably great.

Currently reading these.
I'm enjoying all of them, especially Mo Yan's Republic of Wine.(One third is fascinating, one third is hilarious and one third is horrifying so far)
Top two are the Annalects of Confucius (New translation I got after I found it while randomly roaming the city, so far it's better than the one I had, which was made in the 60s I think) and the Book of Odes to accompany it. (Just when the Annalects references it, already read it once, it's pretty, what can I say)
Took up reading Three Kingdoms again after I abandoned it. Enjoying it more than last time, guess it's like wine, the experience older, the better.Dong Zhou got fucking OWNED I sorta get why it's memed so much now.

Gross.

The others seem neat though. Didn't realise Dune was that large. Curious about Johnny Marr's book too - I love The Smiths but Morrissey is insufferable (and this is coming from a guy who likes his solo work too) and I want to hear a smattering of shit-flinging from a cool guy guitarist who played for Modest Mouse.

Then read Pale Fire, in my opinion it's almost better than Lolita. Then read Despair and Invitation to a Beheading. Everything I've read by him has been amazing and I've read a lot of Nabokov.

No, of course not! You might not be chewing through Heidegger, but you can learn to speak it, particularly if you immerse yourself in it, which can be done now with ebooks and youtube stuff, if you have some discipline.

My concern is over the fact the brain stops developing (or reaches its full learning potential) after a certain age. Supposedly you can't really learn to play a musical instrument properly either.

Neat editions, but honestly you could have read most of the shorter one's in the public domain. If you're going to spend money make it on hardcovers
>>
>>9880022
After Crime and Punishment, read Hunger by Hamsun.

It might even be better to read it first.

The Script is called "Dev Nagri" and no arabic doesn't belong in that style I agree.

I've only read Kaputt and Forgotten Soldier from your stack, and I thought they were both great. The soviet combat divers book sounds interesting. What's the name of it?

Bookstore had a weird bundle sale, all of them cost me basically nothing.
When books are that cheap, I like having physical copies just so I can put them on the "done" stack and remind myself that I'm actually making progress and reading again.

basic but good, Eagleton is a decent intro but he is sort of reductive in his rebuttals to each school of thought.

>>9855158
49 is great, What Make's Sammy Run is fun but pretty obvious after about 50 pages, rest are meh.

>>9855176
Not my taste at all but I am glad you have authors you like.

>>9855273
If you want some better stuff on Fellini check out I Fellini, Fellini's road, and Making a Film.

>>9855453
kind of some garbage but do you man.

>>9863267
Smuggler's Bible, Hind's Kidnap, and Plus are his best imo.

>>9870257
Why buy all 5 brand new m8? Ada is the best one read it last, Pale Fire and Transparent Things should also be read later, probably start with Pnin, Lolita, or his Russian novels, the Defense is fun.

>>9877630
Gombrowicz is great but Sisyphus is really cringy, if you want to read Camus do La Chute.
>>
>>9880566
>mostly want to read classics

>>9881869
Yeah, I don't think I'm ever going to finish reading Sisyphus. The only worthwhile things I've read there so far, Camus himself calls truisms.

Late to the party and not the same poster bu Reasons and Persons is really the only philosophical text I found dense. It's not challenging or anything, just time consuming and tedious. I didn't care for what Parfit was saying personally but it has its merits.

Got these from the library the other day.

New reader though, just getting into it again and wanting to take it seriously from here on, so I might be punching above my weight class by taking out something like Ulysses, but I was just so astonished to see that my library had it at all that I instantly took it and added it to the rest of my books. Oh and I also went back after and got Anna Karenina, since it's considered one of the best novels ever written and also happens to be a love story, which I have a deep attraction to as a genre.

So help me /lit/ friends, do I need to do a lot of prerequisite reading before I can tackle Ulysses or Karenina? I thrifted A Portrait earlier today, if that helps in regards to Ulysses.
>>
>>9885754
Prerequisite reading is the worst meme. Bibliographical and historical context are never necessary. Just read books because you enjoy it or something. Nobody cares if you understand Ulysses's relationship to Greek myth or the loss of pre-christianity Irish folklore.
>>
>>9855070
>1)
nice picks. i strongly recomend that you read tractatus before reading anything else by wittgenstein, with good commentary letterature to try to understand i better (if by any chance u speak/read italian, the best book ever written about tractatus' logic and ontology is 'la fatica di descrivere' by roberto dionigi....if it just was in english or german it would be the book everybody would read to understand wittgenstein).
>2)
i suggest that you read philosophy of mind by kim instead of the one you own, way more in depth analysis of some problems.
