It depends on what you like. Flannery O'Connor's fiction is extraordinary. I bet you'd like Nabokov based on what you've said so far; I like his earlier Russian novels best (which have excellent English translations), like The Defense, for example. If you want to go whole hog into postmodernism then try Pynchon or Gaddis.

The 19th century Russians from Gogol to Chekhov are pretty much can't-lose. Turgenev's Fathers and Sons is beautiful and captures the spirit of youth.

Ford Madox Ford's The Good Soldier is a short masterpiece. The Great Gatsby is as good as its reputation says. Read Dickens if you want the essence of the English language and the English character. Read Kafka for the strangest articulation of modernity. Bruno Schulz is more whimsical. Borges is another whom your list suggests you should try.

If you really want to go down a rabbit hole, find Martin Seymour-Smith's Guide to Modern World Literature and browse through it to blow your mind. It covers everything and seems impossible, except it exists so it can't be.

Ask HN: Are there any intelligent podcasts out there that cover Covid-19?
The main media reports about Covid-19 nonstop. But it's a constant loop of shallow information. Mainly about who is impacted how. But little to nothing about the underlying science. And little to no intelligent thoughts on what it will mean for our future.

Are there any in-depth resources? Podcasts would be my favorite format.

Ask HN: A print magazine?
Hi HN,

Someone has offered to purchase a magazine subscription for me as a Christmas gift, and I would like to use this gift to subscribe to something that will help me along my beginning/intermediate level web development career path. I'm a regular HN reader particularly interested in Ruby/Rails and related technologies. The one caveat: it must be a print magazine that comes in the mail. In other words, when this person comes over to my house, I will leave this magazine out on the coffee table so that they can see that I have received it.

I look forward to your suggestions. (Please don't say Wired.)

Would it be helpful if I shared those password hints in an email. Maybe you'd want to replace those passwords. Only concern is spooking people when someone else puts in their email and they receive the message.

InfoYOGIS Supercharges their Internet Marketing and SEO Services
http://www.infoyogis.com
infoYOGIS Launches a New Design for their Homepage and Refines All of its Services in the Process

(PR Web) 26 November, 2011 - The Internet is very much saturated with online Internet marketing and SEO services. It is even possible for aspiring webmasters to learn these techniques all by themselves so they can market independently without placing any initial investments. Online Internet marketing firms continue to be in business because there are lots of people that want speedy and reliable results in order to overcome the competition. With websites becoming more fiercely competitive in design, content, and advertising, Internet marketing firms need to step up and come up with various approaches that can help personal and business websites thrive in terms of traffic. infoYOGIS shows confidence in being one of the more flexible solutions in bringing any website to the top rankings.

A Fresh New Look

infoYOGIS redesigned their entire website to put more emphasis on their many services that help separate the Internet marketing firm from other online marketing services. Much of the site’s area talks about the unique features from competitive keyword research to some secret strategies that outsmart the competition as claimed by infoYOGIS. Unlike many other online marketing services, infoYOGIS actually provides training and certification courses so any aspiring Internet marketers can learn how to start their own SEO businesses. Other major services being offered include mobile marketing, social media marketing, and heavy research tactics including keyword, market, and competition research.

High-end Internet Marketing Packages

infoYOGIS also simplified their major services into three packages ranging from $997 a month to $2997. The starter package starts as a high-end package that covers keyword research, search engine and directory submission, article marketing, blog and link wheel, and social media marketing. The pricier pages throw competition research, video marketing, press release marketing, RSS distribution, and link building campaigns in the mix.

Those that are not ready to tackle their SEO pricing can sign up in the site’s newly revised newsletter to get any important updates or announcements of new services or packages.

About infoYOGIS

infoYOGIS is an online Internet marketing firm that offers mobile marketing, SEO, research, and social media marketing services to companies around the world.

Ask HN: Service to compare large files
Would you use a service to compare large data files for you?

This is to check that a code change which SHOULD have no effect on the data (refactoring or performance improvement) doesn't have data impacts.

You would submit two data files: one generated using code before the change, and the other generated code after the change. If there are differences, a report gets generated that quantifies them. You get the results in a few hours.

Let me know your thoughts.

Google news in terminal
http://www.h3manth.com/content/google-news-terminal
After h3manth.com/content/upload-picasa-command-line-using-googlecl and h3manth.com/content/google-sunrise-sunset-terminal in past ten days, i was gaming on some substantial data gathering code. Python and Google indeed blend very well together, this time i tried a tiny class that gives the top results from Google news from each category.

Google follows a unique URI pattern in all of its services, this time there news service gather my attention from my terminal.
The idea was pretty simple to get the top news in the terminal with shorten URL's,i have made use of python feedparser and is.gd api to achieve this task.
Many might argue that they will just read them in there best feed readers or just the browser, but yes most of the command line junkies would love to have everything in there terminal, like even a music player for that fact!

Cross-Site scripting attack in the wild
http://www.skydivecms.com/
I was cruising some local web design/development competition in my area (portfolio browsing in particular), when I checked out this site. Curious about their layout choice, I opened up the source. Near the bottom, they were very clearly the victim of a cross-site scripting attack. I have already notified the site owner as well as the company that did the development. I thought Hacker News might find this somewhat interesting though, as I know I've heard all about this, but never actually seen/discovered one.

Ask HN: bookmark/feed proliferation?
I'm involved with a number of research projects and at the same time as I am returning to academic studies, and I am increasingly aware of the overhead in managing browser bookmarks and RSS feeds from blogs about subject-area news I want to keep on top of. Anyone who reads HN knows there are typically >100 threads a day; I probably look at about 10 of them. I get about 400 items coming in my feed per day, and about 15% of them are duplicative. I have hundreds of bookmarks, most of them 'serious.'

AjaxML | The new standard way for AJAX
http://www.ajaxml.com
AjaxML is a set of functions that allow you to declare Ajax behaviour in your web pages with as little coding as possible. In fact, if you have no special needs beyond basic XHR use, you need no code at all.

The idea is simple. A set of attributes added to your web page elements specify what you need to be done. The javascript code is automatically injected once you include "ajaxml.js" in the page.

Poll: Which project can beat Mint.com?
Thinking about starting a new project in the personal finance space targeted more towards college students.

CHOICE A) A way to balance the conflict between privacy and control encountered by college students and their parents with regard to bank accounts and spending. So instead of the parents seeing an itemized list of expenditures they see more broad categories, can tell if their kid is on budget, and get notified if the account is off budget.

CHOICE B) A budgeting tool that takes into account your daily disposable income, location, etc to give you the best deals for what you have left.

Which direction do you guys like best?

Ask HN: Developer (Web but not only) shop runs by student, why not?
Hi everybody,

when I was a student I was so lucky to find a job as free lancer developer, it was a blast, enough money, work when I needed, wonderful boss.

It was really helpful to me either as a person that as developer.

I was looking to build a small association of developers, mostly student I guess, when the member can just log into github, or something similar, close an issue, say how many hours the work on such issues and get paid.

The point is that everything will be managed by a grew up, and the projects are going to be fairly small, so in case of big mess up I can still clean it up by myself and still make the customer happy.

This definitely require a lot of good management, but I think that for a college student making 20$/hr working from home, any time she likes can be a good deal.

The real problem is to find nice developers/students and small enough projects (at least in the starting time.)

What you think are the biggest problem in such idea ?

PS: if you are interested in working in such way you can contact me at siscia@163.com
