I was trying to avoid mentioning the classics I've read thus far, because I didn't want to bias people towards genres I'm taking in everything

- lando2319 4y agoThanks, I'll check that one out.
- matt_holmes 4y agoAs you have a good sense of humour, try Kafka "The Trial", and his other short works Hesse "Steppenwolf", and if you like it "The Glass Bead Game" Stendahl "The Red and the Black" and Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita" Once you've read them come back for more! And if I may note, literature is a world thing that opens up new domains. No way to limit it to one place. However in your stated context, how about Steinbeck "The Pearl" and Miller "Death of a Salesman"
- 082349872349872 4y agoFWIW, I pretty much read the glass bead game in The Glass Bead Game to be literature as Literature (or even L̴̛̪̻̙͆̊i̸̟̯̻̼̬̍͋́̓ṭ̷̣̉̂̑͗ę̴̟̝̩̞̃̍r̷̨̧̘̪̈a̶̧̤̤̍t̴̢͓̳͓̒͊u̶̹̘̯͕̓̊͠ͅr̴̲̺̤̋̽͠e̴̬͝) with "plays" consisting of references and meta-'s in all manner of domains. Sort of like metamemers go to the Opera? Glass bead arrangements (and rearrangements) as Beautiful Aperiodic Crystals of Harmony?
- latexr 4y ago“The classics” are a limited list of books and we don’t know if you’ve read one of them or fifty. If you’re reading every single one, all that matters is the order. Knowing what you’ve read is important to avoid recommending duplicates.
