With which one should I start?

[Anonymous No.16799807]

don’t bother with that stuffy crap, read some good stuff like James Bond instead

[Anonymous No.16799822]

>>16799807
Based, what are your top 3 Bond books and on a somewhat related note, what do you think of Alistair MacLean's books?

[Anonymous No.16799868]

doesn't matter since they aren't actually a trilogy

[Anonymous No.16799925]

Infinite Jest -> Gravity's Rainbow -> Western canon -> Ulysses

[Anonymous No.16799931]

>>16799798
I have read none of them but you really can't go wrong with the chronological approach, especially since DFW was heavily inspired by Pynchon.

[Anonymous No.16799937]

This but backwards.

Go chronologically if you want to see a microcosm of how literature has evolved over the last 100 years
Go Ulysses->IJ->GR if you want to feel like thematically each book is kind of responding to the last
Go IJ->Ulysses if you want to have fun because GR fucking sucks

Ulysses is worst of the trilogy.

Come on anon, you can do it. Yes, you.

[Anonymous No.16800977]

Better start IJ soon.

>Chamber Music
>Exiles
I haven't heard of these two and they don't seem to fit the theme of "books by the authors of the books in the meme trilogy." Which ones are these? A cursory google says there are a lot of "Chamber Music" books but one of them is a rap analysis book that you might be confusing with DFW's "Signifying Rappers" that fits your list chronologically? The only thing I can find for Exiles is a 2020 release by Christina Baker Kline...are you just memeing and it's going over my head?

Search for 'Chamber Music Joyce' and 'Exiles Joyce' on google. They were an early poetry collection and a play by him respectively.

[Anonymous No.16802417]

Skip Wallace, read Gallis or Delillo instead

[Anonymous No.16802452]

Infinite Jest>>Gravity's Rainbow>Ulysses

All are way overrated. What a shit pretentious list

[Anonymous No.16802556]

>>16802452
What a fucking garbage taste. Kys.
>>16802417
True

[Anonymous No.16802598]

You should read Ulysses first if you can help it. But read Dubliners and Portrait before reading it.

You should read Gravity’s Rainbow, but you should probably read V. and The Crying Of Lot 49 before reading it.

Infinite Jest is also good, you should probably read it after having read that other stuff. If you read some of Wallace’s essays beforehand you’ll be good to go. If not you’ll still be fine

Skip all of it. Anglophone trash.

Someone needs to edit a Don Gately supercut of Infinite Jest. thats really all you need to read desu, senpai

[Anonymous No.16805052]

>>16799798
Gravity's Rainbow. Read it along with something else so you don't get annoyed. I do 40mins of GR and 40mins of comfy reading everyday. I'm almost done with GR. Worth it.

[Anonymous No.16806556]

Skip GR and IJ. Instead, read Musil's The Man Without Qualities and Döblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz. Alternatively to Döblin, you can also read Broch's The Sleepwalkers.

[Anonymous No.16806587]

>>16799798
Are these even good books or are they, "I want to look sophisticated and cool. Even everyone else says it's good, therefore I think it's good" tier of books?

[Anonymous No.16806601]

depends on what you think is good
they're all dorky as hell

Nice, but backwards

[Anonymous No.16806640]

>>16799798
I'll let you in on a little secret OP. Academia wont teach this because they fear it's power.

The real way to read the three books is this. You read one page of GR, then one page of IJ and then one page of Ulysses. Then you repeat the process. This way your power level will increase thousand fold

[Anonymous No.16806656]

>>16806640
I should also add. In these dark arts you never start from the beginning. You always start from the end and work your way backwards.

The ancient mysticals taught this

And which language should he use when speaking to Anglos?
