It's not

>>9583153
It's p important for our culture in general. More relevant than the illiad for contemporary culture.

Unless you think fantasy isn't an important facet of western culture.

I was thinking of getting this along with Grendel.

getting another of his pointless shill threads beleeted would be my guess

He is truely awful at shilling his own work, he can't deviate from the "awestruck disciple" role in the slightest

Complete eradication of the so-called "human" species

I never read The Giver because it was for the middle level reading group in my 7th grade class.

>>9583270
Well I think you missed out personally. It is by no means something one should be reading at the level you are probably at today, but I think the message it conveys and the feelings it invoked are well worth the read. A society without feelings and where everyone has a role but no personal thoughts is an interesting idea and the Giver explores it well.

remember the part where they euthanized the baby? that's literally me

>what is better, orange juice or apple juice?
>orange juice
>Resentful faggot!

kys

>>9584797
That example is factually true. Someone not tainted by ressentiment would answer "stop being a binary abstract faggot and drink both or seek to understand your preference" because the subject-object relation of said case is determinable at least in principle (genes affect taste, personal experience such as being raped with an apple might as well, the present bodily state aka what creates mood also does, etc.) and giving a personal answer to the questioneans believing in the priority of the self and is therefore a form of otherwordly ressentiment (as opposed to other forms of egoism which are based on the soul as plurality of selves). Of course stupidity and ignorance are not ressentiment, but they are a perfect ground for it.

Damn sausage fingers. Probably had too much fruit juice.

This is a question you ask a theologician, or a priest, or a monk

3.6 / 5.0 looks about right.

simple question: is she catholic?

you have to 'read' 'it'

>>9582124
It's not particularly hard. You can go to google and Gaddis anotations every time you want. With that and taking note of the names of the characters you can read it without problem. Wonderful book, btw. Benny best character.

People havent stopped having meaningful conversations

PEL general?

Current Johnnie on summer break here. It's really intense but really rewarding. For anybody who's thinking of applying, keep in mind that it is a very small school, so if you don't click with people socially, you'll have a hard time in and out of class. Also, a lot of Johnnies become very stressed about leaving the 'Johnnie bubble' because St. John's is very much its own world. That being said, all of the students there are very passionate about reading and analyzing texts, so its a haven for that. However, it is lacking in other things typical of colleges.

They fell for the memes

Yes and no. Little baby Adolf and little baby Magritte might be taught the same curriculum and acquire the same knowledge but graduate with different skill levels or insight. All other social, cultural and developmental factors are also important in ways that are extremely difficult to correlate and replicate.

>>9581700
yes, art is merely a technic
aesthetics are innate tho

>>9581700
Technique, theory and history can. Creativity probably can't.

neither, the two have nothing to do with each other

What did he mean by this?

>>9581594
This is why Wittgenstein is important. Your confusion is a grammatical one.

idk probably Stoner by Williams

definitely Jude the Obscure

also definitely try The Professor's House by Willa Cather

>>9581450
Victoria by Knut Hamsun

>>9581460
Thanks.

I guess also I will read any genre on this subject. Doesn't have to be novels, not sure why I was so specific in the OP. Just so long as it is crushingly sad and deals with failed love, I'm in. I just tend to read more fiction than poetry/drama/non-fiction.
