Favorite Fiction

[mdsimpson92]

If you want to break it down by genre thats ok.

I guess I would start. For Fantasy, I would have to pick George Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" series.

Historical fiction: War and Peace (at the cost of my sanity)

Philosophy: Meditations and Fear and Trembling, Thus Spoke Zarathustra(for the awesome prose)

In General: Anything by Dostoyevsky or Tolstoy. I apparently have a thing for Russian Authors.

Yea Dostoyevsky and Tolstroy, they were great.

I also like Sartre as a novelist a lot. I really got into the Age of Reason and Troubled Sleep.

I like Camus, I like the Stranger.(La Trange) I love the Plague.(le Peste)

ever read Le Pemier Ome? I'm probably misspelling that.That was good. I read all of that in French.

I also read Candide in French too. Those were two of my favirite things that of the stuff I actually read in French.

Proust, Swan's Way, which I rad in both English and French (I could not figure out what the French was about). I really don't see how language can be that way. I read huge portions of Candide in French and didn't have to look up a word. I couldn't make heads or tails out of Proust or Hugo in French. Reading them all in English they don't seem that much harder than the Camus or Voltaire.

To be honest I haven't read much french literature. I kind of dabble everywhere. I have read Camus' "Myth of Syssuphus" and Sartre's "Existentialism is a Humanism." Preferred Camus between the two.

I also read Dune which is great science fiction. For Fantasy works I would Seriously recommend the Song of Ice and Fire Series. They showed the first book on HBO called "GAme of Thrones." You can watch the episodes here.
