What did you like about 2666? im on part 4 and I can't bring myself to even open the book anymore , its just so fundamentally uninteresting. do i need to be spanish to give a shit about random murders and endless whores and same-y bar sequences that say the same things over and over?

>>18849672
The Rum Diaries
inb4 Leaving and Loathing
hard mode: no other Hunter S. Thompson

>>18853234
anon i felt the same while reading it but trust me the pay off is worth it for part 5, in fact should I ever reread the book I will just read part 1 then part 5. not that part 1 is very interesting either but it builds the mystery which makes part 5 that much better

For me, it’s Les Miserables.

Based, have you read Rulfo's another novel?

I'm almost done with Atlas Shrugged which has turned me back into a book worm after like 8 years.
Favourite book when I was a teenager, The Giver.

One of these days I'm going to sub to Hulu to find out if the show is any good.

Warlock (Oakley Hall)

>>18855266
2666. Bolaño was strongly inspired by it. The crimes in Santa Teresa on Mexico-US border is a clear homage and there is a certain character who sounds awfully like Holden.

The Man Without Qualities

the painting in the op made me feel happy bc i look like her :)

my favorite book is kuhn’s structure of scientific revolutions but i dont care to receive a rec from any of you pseuds :’)

>>18850140
Goncharov's other novels (Same Old Story and The Precipice) are both also worth reading.

Moby dick or brothers K. Also love Joseph Conrad and I know it’s hit no kudos but really like heaps of wrath

>>18851919
Bove's Winter Journal

Of Mice and Men

>>18854844
Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol

Going on a 7-10 day hike starting in 2 days and need some book recommendations to download. I am a pleb and my favorite books are The Stranger and Slaughterhouse 5. Looking for something with a bit of humor, but open to anything.

The Idiot or The Illiad

>>18859284
The Idiot, Count of Monte Cristo, and Dead souls. Depending on what aspects you enjoy most out of Don Quixote I think those are my personal recommendations.

>>18859631
If you've read the Stranger I assume you've read the rest of Camus but just in case, I will say the Fall is fantastic. The Fall and the Stranger are 2 of the few books I've read in one sitting because I got so lost in them.

I haven't read Slaughter house but the other book I'd recommend based on the Stranger would be The Leopard

>>18859631
any Mark Twain, but especially Roughing It

>>18857379
You mean the Cristina Rivera Garza novel? I'd never seen anyone talk about it here, nice. Read Ice by Anna Kavan, they feel very similar.
>>18858537
>>18859284
Gargantua and Pantagruel. I have a friend who's obsessed with Don Quixote and he loves Pérez Galdós' novels so you could check them out too. But as >>18859633 says it really does depend what you like about the book.
>>18859067
Salvador Elizondo's El grafógrafo and Bellatín's novels (any one of them really).
>>18859631
The tunnel by Sabato. It's not funny but if you like The Stranger I'm sure you'll like it.
>>18859633
>The Illiad
The underdogs by Mariano Azuela.

>>18849672
Faust by Goethe.

I viewed part four as interesting. The monotony of horrifying crimes. Currently on part five and it is very interesting.

>>18859685
Damn, this seems perfect. I am a huge sucker for the US west in the late 1800s. I downloaded it and will walk and listen to it on trail.

Madame Bovary. I love the flowery descriptions and analogies and the drama

>>18851919

>>18859485
Maybe. It's a close second for me. Also the libro de arena, and the last one he wrote with that short story about Shakespeare, I forget the name.

>>18859284
The Good Soldier Svejk

My favourite book is Billiards at Half-Past Nine by Heinrich Böll.
