redhead Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 Hello there!! Here's the thing: I've already read Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky, The Trial by Kafka, No Longer Human by Dazai and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Wilde and I loved them! All those books were just my vibe. I was thinking if y'all maybe happen to have some great recommendations? I'd like them to be just like the ones mentioned above - psychological, mysterious and maybe philosophical..? I'll be soooo grateful if you put some descriptions in the comments bellow. No spoilers tho! Thanksss!! Quote
reader1612 Posted November 29, 2024 Posted November 29, 2024 I’d recommend The Glass Bead Game by Herman Hesse. It’s originally a german book with a lot of philosophical depth. It’s a very intellectual novel about music, art, mathematics and philosophy and I really enjoyed reading it (although it’s difficult to read at times due to very complex thoughts expressed in very complex sentence structures). Furthermore I’d recommend ’Dracula’ by Bram Stoker. It also includes the themes of beauty and decay and I feel like the whole atmosphere of the book was kind of similar to ‘The picture of Dorian Gray’. Quote
