The ultimate hitchiker's guide to the galaxy. Say what you want, it's at least not a giant pretentious flex of someone asshole's vocabulary wrapped around his version of a perfect character with a perfect philosophy. And it's not some edgelord selling teenagers an image.

Same OP. It has flaws, but it has by far the best characters of any book I've ever read, and every moment, even though it seems significant all adds up to such insanely powerful messages.

I want to read War and Peace, but I just feel like I don't have time. And I got kind of bored in the middle of Anna Karenina, I'm afraid I'll get stuck in very long Tolstoy essays.

War and Peace isn't hard to read, it'll just be the only thing you read for a month or two. I don't know how you wouldn't have time for it unless you don't have time to read in the first place.

I found it dry and didactic and the essay portions interminable though, most of /lit/ seems to like it a lot better than I did.

They get a life, or stop posting.

I'm 26, and I've been visiting 4chan since 2007. Nowadays I check the catalog of a few boards once or twice a week, maybe leave a post once a month or so.

a few I guess, jumping in and out of favorites. Mostly books or collections of poetry:

The Faerie Queene
Golding's Ovid (actually liked it quite a bit before reading Pound's ABC of Reading; his promotion of it as the "most beautiful book in the language" and the rush of confirmation bias such a statement gave me forced me into rapport with Pound. What a cool translation. I was writing in fourteeners for like a month after reading it)
Caunterbury Tales (doing a close reread after reading Pound's ABC of Reading)
The Church (the whole collection by George Herbert)
The Poems of Francois Villon (in the original of course)
House of Life (sonnet sequence by DG Rossetti, has its shortcomings but I think there are some standouts, especially for his generation of verse)
Complete Poems of John Donne

really if I had to pick some novels that have stuck with me for particular scenes that have the density or accomplishment of poetry:

Ulysses -- Stephen on the beach
Under the Volcano -- The constellations chapter
The Scarlet Letter -- The forest chapters (crowning of the "witch-baby")

Melville is on the list but not for any particular passage. Just for Moby-Dick, Confidence-Man in general. Even his weaker works like Pierre I'm somewhat fond of.

agreed, not only that, but the language as well. Really spectacular writing on the part of Hawthorne. Honestly I'm overdue a rereading of SL, the novels I listed I'm trying to make a habit of rereading every six months or so.

I think the one thing that's in common among my favorite novels is that they're so rich in symbolism and allegory, and yet still create incredible humans (maybe less with hawthorne) within the work.

Yeah the language is amazing. I've taught Scarlet Letter and practically all students find his language just too... I don't know... "flourished"? I remember being really alone when I read it as a student and became hooked on Hawthorne. Read Seven Gables, lost my shit even more. But I can see how most people, especially younger ones, can't appreciate a Romantic novel full of guilt complexes beyond what normal people can empathize with.
