>How was the Anatomy of Melancholy?
It's incredibly long and dense, so I'm not finished, but I read at least a little every day, and I've read (and reread, and reread) all of the best known highlights. It's hilarious and cathartic and mournful and imaginative and beautiful. Also very influential on later literature, but always discreetly so, and I frequently find that that another adulated author is a Burtonian. I've been shilling it here a lot.

I vaguely recall that. Vanity Fair was very good. It's especially good if you've read War and Peace because of the war of 1812 tie-in. The tone is entirely different, but a good companion to it nonetheless. Becky Sharp and Captain Dobbin are really well-crafted characters.

Stirner's ideas sort of run into a brick wall when paired up with Eastern Ideas. Not that they don't work but I'm incapable of throwing it in the same boat as Tradition or Religion. And I'm also sure Stirner had a greater grasp of it than I do so its up to me to decipher which one I suppose is true. It's quite interesting and I already wrote a couple of interesting queries in this thread -->>>14027995
