Miracle 14,068 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Ficciones - Jorge Luís Borges Hamlet - Shakespeare 1984 - Orwell All three Kafka books in that list The Divine Comedy Crime and Punishment Lolita Tales Ilyad 1/3 of Beckett's trilogy (The Unnamable) Dead Souls I started Ulysses but it was super dense for me to read at the time. Want to start reading again, but won't do anytime soon. I've read more of these writers (apart from the ones of the books I read: Albert Camus, Kawabata, Miguel de Cervantes, James Joyce...), just not those books. Good for a Spanish reader who wasn't forced to read all those American classics at school. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 3 for me. But there are loads of other great books that never got a mention such as other titles by George Orwell and other authors. Does the lord of the rings not count as classic? Spoiler Nvm I went off track. Forgetting these are classic works of literature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordan9896523 0 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 To date, I have read 402 books that I can recall and several dozen more that didn't leave a lasting impression on me. Some of my favorites (killing bites raw manga at mangazuki raws) include House of Leaves, Gravity's Rainbow, Cloud Atlas, and Infinite Jest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
