Try the authors there. Geez.
17 years of this same shit?

>>24940394
Here’s an absolutely insane idea: try reading something because it looks fun and stop reading what you’re supposed to based on cringe online lists. God you people make reading such a soulless Reddit checklist

If you had truly read these 3 works, they'd have led you to other points of interest. Sham.

I'm not very smart and I possess little intellectual curiosity. I require guidance.

R3ad lectures on literature by nabikov and read whatever he recommends. Also read nabokov

I read IJ and I'm reading GR now. How did you find the difficulty of ulysses in comparison to GR?

>>24940838
Not OP, but I found GR to be harder than Ulysses on average, but Ulysses had bigger spikes in difficulty.

Guns, Germs, Steel
Michelle Obama's memoir
A rubix cube

>>24940838
ulysses is way harder. oxen of the sun is 99% impenetrable. ulysses is more fun to read but keeping up with the 18 different styles makes the book much more challenging if you really want to comprehend as much as possible

>>24940896
The only really hard chapters are Proteus and Oxen. Maybe Penelope.
>inb4 Sirens
Only the opening of the chapter is weird, everything else in it is normal-ish.

>>24940904
i dont consider proteus or penelope difficult, maybe monologues aren't for you

>>24940749
Go back to those books and read them again until you're able to sus out a path. Come on, man.

Ulysses expects you to have a classical education, GR is mostly comedy routines and "what is we only, like, die because They want us to, man. Ever think of that? You could choose Immortality but you're too afraid. . ." stoner babble

Maybe mason and dixon?

Nothing wrong with taking inspiration from a place where he knows that people have finished the books he specifically mentioned and is looking for inspiration.

Get some DeLillo into your collection. I like White Noise and Ratner's Star.

The Crying of Lot 49 is also good for more Pynchon
And I've never met a DFW book I didn't like. Maybe devour his whole catalog while you're at it.
