> Leer esto hizo que me diera cuenta que no puedo acordarme de nada de lo que leí más allá de los últimos 5 libros que agarre, que wea mi memoria.

A mi me pasa lo mismo o quizá peor, tengo que hacer un esfuerzo muy consciente para recordar tramas y cuando voy a un club de lectura veo gente que se acuerda de TODO jajaja

De Virginia Woolf leí Al faro y Las olas. El primero es el más digerible de los dos pero ambos son muy buenos libros. El cuarto propio aunque es un ensayo es muy recomendable para conocer a la autora. De Paul Auster recuerdo que leí también Brooklyn Follies y es muy buena historia.

> Es un analisis de la modernidad desde lo que para el autor son las obras fundamentales de esta

El año pasado estuve haciendo unos cursos sobre la modernidad y la posmodernidad y el profesor mezclaba filosofía con literatura y hasta pintura. Súper recomendable. https://www.coursera.org/learn/modern-postmodern-1

They actually have a whole bunch on there.

What I liked about doing the course is you can just do the light reading, watch the lectures, and maybe journal about but decide on your own what you think. When you try to learn about it from YouTube videos and what not you're always going to run into bias. You'd be listening to someone that has done a similar course sharing their own opinions instead of learning or first hand.
