What if I become rich and famous?

find a man she is attracted to, contrive yourself to be in the presense of of both of them. Defeat him in which ever activity has the biggest cache in your immediate peer group (examples: 'how do you like them apples' in good will hunting or shooting up a club with machine guns in Scarface).
Be humble in your victory and respectful to the chastened challenger, wish him well, then turn back to your love interest and act sort of cold and distant, using your body languages and silence to insinuate your resigned frustration that yet again the whims of a woman have forced good proud men into needless conflict.
done

against nature is really good. someone on here recommended it to me i think.

i been rly diggin the thomas bernhard altho he's too recent to be a classic i guess. he's a cool depressed weirdo writer
" not only was it a terrible, a horrifying world, but it was also a ridiculous world, but unfortunately each one of us had to resign himself to existing in a world that was not only terrible and horrifying but also ridiculous, each and every one of us had to come to terms with this fact; how many hundreds of thousands, how many millions of people had already come to terms with it, even in his own unquestionably terrible, horrifying, and ridiculous country, our own country, the most ridiculous and most terrible of them all"
and if u like celine you'd prbly like knut hamsun as well, i just read Hunger and it was very similar in feel (altho i like celine better prob)

i don't keep track/write down what I read so I have to think for a bit. these are my favorite ones that aren't as popular: against the grain/against nature (huysmans, above poster also reading it), the clown (german, short), father & son, sanin, the master and margarita, the fuck up, self discovery (lavchenko),
Proust Remembrance of Things Past is #1 Bigtime Funbook, though and should keep you occupied for a whole season.
oh and Waiting For The Barbarians (goes on not-as-popular list above)
