idk my favorite book was 1984 because the romance made me cry
>>24680269>gif>title>idk>1984 was my favoriteWhaddup zoomer bro! Books be bussin fr fr on god. Straight up, I liked "Train Dreams" by Denis Johnson, no cap. Other books be giving Ohio fr. Johnson ate that fr, on that good book rizz with the prose drip. The way it's giving masterpiece? Slay! And that's fire on god lowkey no cap.
>>24680286don't get me wrong, I've read all works of classic literature from France, Russia, Germany, Spain and various international ones like James Joycethey just aren't very interesting and pretentiousmeanwhile 1984 managed to make me feel something very deep because of the romance, not really the remaining plot
>>24680418>I've read all works of classic literature from France, Russia, Germany, Spain, and various international ones like James JoyceNo, you haven't. Go to the library and don't come back until you've aged out of your parents' health insurance.
anyone have anything to add, but exactly the pretentiousness that the other anon here displaysI'm looking mainly for modern authors, maybe, as I'm not familiar with them
itt some retard falling for clear bait
>>24680744I gave you a modern author recommendation. Train Dreams came out in 2011. You would know this if you'd actually read as much as you claim you have. Bussin!

For modern writers books by Yan Lianke are quite good, he writes aggressively weird setups for his stories but there is a lot of humanity and quiet moments to find too. He’s a Chinese writer but usually you should be able to follow the plot just fine. Maybe start with Lenin’s Kisses or Dream of Ding Village

>>24681110the way you ate him up and left no crumbs!
>>24680269How about you read a newspaper, that makes for some real good reading.
>>24681377These are delightful books. OP would still get filtered by them tho
>>24681377these look good, unironically
>>24680848well no, i only read the classics because that's what i had at home from my parents and what we needed to read for school when i was youngerduring university i had absolutely no interest in reading, but I'm trying to develop a liking to reading as I've noticed the way i speak has deteriorated in the past couple of years. it's probably because i haven't made much of an effort to be in good company and have consumed too much brainrot. Now with my child underway I'd like to improve my speech, as to be able to speak to him in a more sophisticated tone.thank you for the recommendation.>>24681146this sounds interesting, I've only had tried to read a few Japanese ones and they were very boring to read.>>24681399i do read my town's weekly paper to keep up with my community
