[Aspie] Your GOAT book?

[10khitman]

In my opinion literature is the highest form of art, so in your guys' opinion what is the greatest book ever written?

Science/Metaphysics not included in this thread we are talking artistic literature

For me its Lolita

Mainly because it was originally English so I can feel the art unhindered by translation

I dont care about philosophical concepts in books cause it never seems profound to me, social philosophy seems of low caliber to me I only care for physical philosophy or science but I'm not including those types of books in this thread.

I only care about raw artistry, and I dont know Russian well enough to judge Dostoyefsky etc and I dont know any other languages, so I can only really judge English books, and I dont care for the English translations of Russian books. Orwell and some others are good but the artistry in Lolita is the only instance in which I am genuinely impressed and touched by the language.

1984 is an honourable mention; particularly the first third

The artistic expression is unique, thats all.

I mean, I guess subconsciously yea my aesthetic appreciation of the book is probably somehow exacerbated by the incelish attraction to that taboo relationship with innocense described in the book. lol. It's over etc...

I have a large tiger pillow pet I named Hobbs. I used to like those little graphic novels they were very endearing and wholesome. One of the very few things I ever actually read consistently as a child was that collection.
