DICTIONARY OF THE KHAZARS by milorad pavic

KALPA IMPERIAL by angélica gorodischer

FOUCAULT'S PENDULUM and BAUDOLINO by umberto eco (while you're at it read THE NAME OF THE ROSE too)

it feels redundant to say HOUSE OF LEAVES by danielewski but you know

also if you want to read something with gonch vibes, rather that textual fuckery, i recommend john le carré, who is an expert at building tense homosocial relationships (ABSOLUTE FRIENDS in particular comes to mind)

Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation

Benjamin, The Arcades Project

and it’s a—let’s say interactive experience rather than a written text, but I highly recommend everyone interested in the above play Immortality (2022), ideally with a controller, even if you aren’t a person who usually plays games

They buried the body of Felagund upon the hill-top of his own isle, and it was clean again; and the green grave of Finrod Finarfin’s son, fairest of all the princes of the Elves, remained inviolate, until the land was changed and broken, and foundered under destroying seas. But Finrod walks with Finarfin his father beneath the trees in Eldamar.

Remain true to yourself, but move ever upward toward greater consciousness and greater love! At the summit you will find yourselves united with all those who, from every direction, have made the same ascent. For everything that rises must converge.
