I thought that was kinda bullshit - how is Dubliners a work that "only informs the Irish"? It's about life, death, love, parenthood, religion - and yet you'd like to suggest that the lifeless, antiquated collection of political satire that is The Divine Comedy is more humane and relatable? How droll, I laugh at you, sir.

it's these kinds of threads that prove how much I have a love/hate relationship with forums involving artistic criticism.
Anyways my favorite book is Sentimental Education

Assuming this is about fiction books, my fav is probably Fatherland by Robert Harris. I don't read many fiction books, really.

tbh most the stuff i read is history related. fav non fiction book would be a tie between Bob Stanley's Yeah Yeah Yeah: A History Of Pop and Martin Meredith's A State Of Africa.

My history teacher recommended Yeah Yeah Yeah but I didn't ever check it out, is it really that good?

It's fairly astounding, gives a pretty decent overview of all the main genres and trends in pop music from the 50's to the 90's I feel.
