You will read these books and go "WAHH why can't life be like this?" They're like Kingdom Hearts.

[Anonymous No.2779919]

Are there any books in the list that you guys would recommend in particular?

;-;

The only one I've read from that list is The Road, which was okay.

Read Goncharov, Selby Jr (personally may favourite out of that list), Tolstoy or Dazai

Surely you have read Steinbeck? Whatever you do stay the fuck away from Hardy *shudders*.

I still need to get into some of that Cioran.

Anyone here who has read it? How did it feel?

>Hermann Ungarr

This is the first time I've ever seen someone else mention him on this board.

Kudos.

This is not from the list but Id say pick up All Men are Mortal. It's like an existential version of Highlander but literally perfect (except for the first 60 pages but it's aright if you skip them)
