Rory gilmores reading list

A list of notable plays written throughout history. Not only do these make for great stage productions, they're also fantastic reads.

"Turn me over, I'm done on this side!" —St. Lawrence, whilst roasting on a spit

Gallows humor, black comedy, l'humour noir — whatever you call it, this is the place for it. This list includes André Breton's seminal anthology of dark humor, a number of the works excerpted in this anthology, and beyond. You can find a link to the complete contents of Breton's anthology in the comments.

Want more weird humor? Check out my list Nitpicky Neuroticism (Comedy Edition)!

Absurdist and existentialist fiction confronts the central tension of human life: our relentless search for meaning in a universe that offers none. These works explore freedom, alienation, responsibility, and the burden of choice. Characters often stand alone against indifferent systems, silent gods, or their own fractured consciousness. You can suggest works in comments section below

„Nothing is funnier than unhappiness … it‘s the most comical thing in the world.“

A selection of well-known plays of the Theatre of the Absurd. Here human existence lacks meaning and purpose and we keep running in circles.

All these books are taken from various courses I've taken as English Literature undergrad! Contains both well known classics and ones you probably have never heard of. (work in progress)

Probably auditioned with a monologue from one of these
