Fuck you, Charles Dickens was a great writer!

I see your point, sir.

I'd say go in this order:

Fountainhead and We the Living
Atlas Shrugged and Anthem

I thought Huxley's dystopia was far more realistic ("probable" is probably a better word) than Orwell's.

Eminence

Slaughterhouse-Five would be my pick.

You're correct, but Marxism, when applied, simply does not work.

If I were OP, I'd mention Ivan Turgenev's "The Torrents of Spring."

Unless you love descriptions of fishing alluding to the bible, no.
The first and last few pages were the only parts of the book I personally liked.

I didn't learn Latin sheerly for the sake of reading its literature, although I've enjoyed using my prowess to read Ovid.

I've also used my knowledge of Bengali and Sanskrit to explore texts that are closer to the original Hindu classics.

I love that story!!!!!

I think your list is lacking French and Victorian literature.

OP is not alone.

If only you were trolling.

Some of the best fantasy ever written

I never said they're not. I like Salinger. I just found it a bit amusing.

I like how Salinger's on there three times.

Barnes & Noble

It's the closest book store to my house. The only other practical one is a very small borders in the food court of a nearby mall. The Barnes & Noble has a Starbucks within it (that sells cheesecake!) and, for whatever reason, it seems like an extremely ascetically pleasing place every time I walk in.

I used to browse /mu/, occasionally /b/ and /r9k/, /ck/, /fit/, /sci/, and /wg/.

Then I stopped going on 4chan for several months. When I came back, I was pleasantly surprised to find /adv/, /lit/, and /new/.

I would rather be a literary writer.

Double major in history and general biology

George Eliot
Charlotte Bronte
Emily Bronte
Ann Bronte
Ernest Gaines
Ayn Rand
Emily Dickinson
Paul Laurence Dunbar
Fredrick Douglas

Whatever book you find by the authors above

Charles Dickense
>Writes Nicholas Nickleby
>People act against Yorkshire schools

Unless there's something particularly unique about the sex scene, I think ambiguity goes a long way, perhaps coupled with a first-person reflection rather than a direct description of the scene itself.
