I'm looking forward but a little intimidated by Gravity's Rainbow. I've only read: V., Mason & Dixon, Inherent Vice, Crying of Lot 49, and Vineland I should hopefully be okay with it.

>>14090255
Absolutely. I enjoyed it a lot. It's more somber than Atomised, but it's only about half as long. Sometimes I get tired of Atomised because it'll have long sections of rather technical journalistic or scientific terminology that are a pain to get through, but Extension lacks all the fluff. It's more relatable than Atomised too, less pornographic. Overall I loved it. I have less than 100 pages of Atomised left, so my comparison of the two texts are more or less rough, but yeah, I highly recommend Extension.

It's a bit hit-or-miss I think.
The 'Love' stories at the beginning are a bit of a slog but the 'Story' and 'Men' stories are mostly really good. I'm halfway through the first of the 'Women' stories so I can't say much for them. I'm hoping they're going to get better, and my mum says the last story, North Sea Crossing by Helen Dunmore, is really good.
So, overall, I think it is worth getting, especially if you don't read much of this kind of thing.

>>14099199
Thanks. Those categories sound pretty interesting, the Penguin Book of Japanese Short Stories was ordered fairly similarly and it was a good (although hit-and-miss too) experience.

>>14099208
Cool, I'll have a look at that at some point.
The other categories I haven't got to are 'War & Politics' and 'Catastrophic Worlds', so they should be interesting. 'Envoi' is the last category, though North Sea Crossing is the only one there

Last book: The Outer Limits of Reason, the mathematics in the book are cool but it's philosophically fairly bankrupt and uninteresting. It's a good book if you want to understand what kinds of problems can't be magically fixed by technology as we know it without actually committing to understanding math beyond a high school level.

Current Book: Naomi by Junichiro Tanizaki

Next Book: Probably either The Temple of the Dawn or volume 1 of the Everyman's Tolstoy shorter fiction collection.

I'm reading Paradise Lost right now. It's honestly quite different from what I expected, it really reads like a fantasy/sci-fi novel, and Satan's speeches are hype as fuck. Some lines can get hard to parse due to all the references to places and myths that I've never heard of though

>>14099389
Seconding this, Wretched of the Earth is Great.
Add it with "On the Postcolony" by Achille Mbembe, albeit his West-African-centric analysis is probably one of the biggest issues I have with the book.

Oh duuuude. If you're reading Paradise Lost, after you finish I cannot recommend enough that you also read Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene.

Milton borrowed heavily from spenser, and his Paradise Lost was very much an effort to surpass him and create the greatest Epic in history, since at the time the Epic was considered the ultimate form of literature.

>>14099678

I just started with him, so I can't comment on his entire body of work. I'll say that I really enjoyed An Arist of the Floating World because I enjoy the setting of post war Japan.

I also kept doubting the narrator (don't wanna spoil) based on conversations that took place in the novel, and for me that was a really interesting experience where it felt like the narrator was potentially gaslighting me at times.

:)

>>14105847
I'm really into reading books with faulty narrators. I'll check this one out. It's such a different experience than reading a book with a regular narrative.
Do you know any other books which have narrators that 'can't be trusted' so to say?

Can none of you fucking retards do anything except this title chirping shit

>>14105870
Seems like most of Ishiguro's works rely on an unreliable narrator, so you might enjoy him quite a bit. Anything you read by Vladimir Nabokov or Dostoyevsky is going to play around with the unreliable narrator(lolita, crime and punishment, pale fire, notes from the underground). Turn of the Screw is one of the best examples of the unreliable narrator if you haven't read that yet.

And my personal recommendation is Italo Calvino's If On A Winter's Night a Traveler. One of my all time favorite books, and it plays around completely with the concept of storytelling and narration in a very fascinating way.
