dostoevskyanddebauchery a demandé: I noticed in your bookshelf on the side of your tumblr that you like Infinite Jest and War and Peace. These are two of my favorite books in existence! so refreshing to come upon another who is interested in genuinely great literature. Just wondering, what are your top 10 favorite books?
Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that I haven’t been ignoring you, but rather have been racking my brains over your question. My top ten? That’s a tough one. I can confidently say that Infinite Jest and Proust’s In Search of Lost Time are tied for number 1 (they are the only two books I’ve read that display both an uncanny level of cerebration as well as an all too refreshing fearlessness in attending to the emotionally crushing aspects of daily life [which too many highbrow writers cravenly evade lest they be accused of indulging in sentimentalism!]), but as for the rest, allow me some more time to think it over and expect another message from me soon!
