"None are more hopelessly enslaved, than those who falsely believe they are free". ~~Goethe

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

I'm at 41 books of my 100+ book goal, see picture for specific titles. Favourites so far are: The Feast of the Goat; The Easter Parade; Wilderness Tips; Revolutionary Road; Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell; Strong Motion. Special mention goes to The Man in the High Castle and The Pale King, for being weird and cool. Worst books were: after the quake, The Painted Veil; Islands in the Sky. They were all very painful, and a waste of time, money and effort.

Post your own lists, and favourite and least favourite books.

Why is Dune considered Science Fiction?

It's a fantasy that just happens to take place tens of thousands of years in the future.

Where does one start with these writers?

My favorite pieces of literature are Anna Karenina, Uncle Vanya, Their Eyes Were Watching God, and Lolita if that helps. I haven't read too extensively though obviously.

Who does /lit/ prefer?

Dear Diary, The strange head growing from the cat has made itself a facebook page. I have sent it a friend request in hopes of learning more about it's true motives. For now, I'll keep the gun ready and the status quo intact. P.S. I think I saw it trying on my underwear last night.
