Not very often, but sometimes readers have asked me advice on what to read and in what order.
I understand reading as a source of enjoyment, so even if the work is excellent, if I add anything, it teaches me, does not make me, for me it serves. And this rule is personal but not transferable. Everyone should create your model and reader systems to measure. Not worth the standard rules. And less in a world so vast and rich as the literature. Never confuse the like to me is good or not like with the bad. I admire the skill or elegance of writers / as I do not like as a reader. When this happens rarely come back to haunt them. And this attitude, sometimes, I admit, is a mistake. If I had started reading Thomas Mann's Magic Mountain, might never have read The Bundenbrook or Death in Venice. But luck would have intrigued me over the name of the German saga.
As I add pages to read from my life grows my respect for the writers. But time is limited and must be chosen. My arbitrary list (underline is mine not arbitrary because it lacks criteria have them) fall all topics that interested me very well written they are (like the plague fled the English civil war, low recreation heroes fund losers villages, the Nordic black package, the chick novels list, serial murderers, the Templar mysteries, novels, theses, pamphlets ...) and writers whose work I find attractive: See Bukowski, Thomas Bernhard, Jonathan Littell, Ian Rankin, Gioconda Belli, Doris Lessing ...
So if someone asks me for advice would you do readers a profile based on thematic preferences, about authors, likes and dislikes, habits, time spent reading, interests, and then recommend titles that authors. But watch, I am guided by my taste but for the reader. As to the order, do not think there is not any random or capricious. Mine is personal: if I read Onetti and he mentions Eça de Queiroz, I read it and then I continue with my Baron in the Trees and tree jump to Nothing, haunted by the nihilistic message of the Danish writer, I turn to the happy atmosphere of Flora Poste british and their artists. Then I want to know much land needs a man and read Tolstoy, and later plunged into chaos calm and finally seal the reconciliation Nordic and enjoy Out Stealing Horses.
