I've been curious about the Bible for a while, /lit/, I'd like to read into it and perhaps reconvert to christianity (NOT catholicism)

yes, it is one of the most important books in history and even if you don't believe a single word in it, its still a good thing to read just to understand the effect it had on history.
ignore all the amazing atheist wannabes on this board

Good books require at minimum good form, and become great books with great content. A book with good content and poor form is a poor book.
What does /lit/ think of Albert Camus?

Fuck the new canon. Star Wars Legends is way more "real" than anything (((Disney))) came up with. Disney merely paid for the right to use the brand name. It's like the ship of Theseus- at some point, it's not the same Star Wars. It's just called that.
And by the way, (((Disney))) is not the same company that Walt Disney founded, either. Disney was a cornball, but he wasn't a progressive, or tolerant of homosexuality at all. Modern Disney is literally all run by childish bisexuals. I'm not kidding.

Fascism only lasted a couple decades so it's not surprising there wasn't much great literature to come out of it

Then what do Writers discuss when they get together for dinner?

Where to start with this man? I'm mainly interested on the archetypal theory and have a general understanding of Freudian theory, is that enough?
And should I start with his clinical cases or just read the stuff on archetypes and the collective unconscious?

Start with The Archetypes and the Collective Consciousness, then move on to Aion, then on to whatever interests you. End with his autobiography.
If you're struggling with The Archetypes, start with Man and His Symbols instead.

just skim the wiki article bro

Jung is for pseuds who think they're above new-age bullshit but in reality aren't that much smarter than the typical sucker.

Get fucked faggots, you deserve it all.
Start with the Greeks.
>>
Building giant triangles is not as literary as engaging in homoerotic sports so Egypt doesn't count
>>
>>9488387
Ancient Sumerian and Egyptian literature is rather irrelevant in the broader context for the Western literary and philosophical tradition. The Greeks, however, are a fundamental influence - without which you cannot fully understand the Western canon.

Reposting from last thread
Blew through Things Fall Apart today, actually surprised at how interesting it was from an anthropological sense but the narrative structure itself was pretty weak, we never really got enough time with any of the characters to get attached to them. Also, the final conflict with the Missionaries is just glossed through.

Legit stack, would steal.

Also a tasteful stack. Varied, which shows you're not desperate for approval.

I loved reading his books in high school, but I got bored of them and moved onto to more /lit/ stuff. They can be fun reads, though.
Actually, Different Seasons is a good collection of stories, except for the nazi one.

>>9487352
He's very good when not writing horror or science fiction. Hearts is Atlantis is criminally underrated, and so is Different Seasons
>>
>>9487352
do you think most of his books are only for teenagers?

>I've just read an incredible article where "The Handmaid's Tale", a sub-par piece of science-fi trash, is defended by its author. The author, who rightly should be apologizing for her execrable prose, not only defends it but calls it "timely". The book has been made in to some sort of cable mini-series. I'm Canadian, so had to suffer through this book as a young person. It's one of those cheap, dystopian tracts. The difference with this one is it has a deeply paranoid feminist look into the future. The story is as impossible as most of these " frightening looks into the future". But to call it timely, when the possibility of this fiction ever becoming fact even more of a joke, is just a cynical cash-grab.
>One might not like the premise, the meandering non-plot, the ugly themes, the subliterate dialogue and the dull fillibustering.
>I would say "unpublishable" would describe her style.
>I don’t hate Margaret Atwood. I hate bad writing. It isn’t her fault and I’d never have anything but pity for the talentless. But the Canadian school system makes you read her.
>It is nauseating to consider that through shameless self-promotion someone like Margaret Atwood could care consider herself Munro’s peer. Unlike Munro, Margaret Atwood is incapable of writing a novel, yet churns out chum at an alarming rate. Munro is the greatest writer Canada has ever produced but feels herself incapable of writing a novel. On the flip side sits Margaret Atwood.
>What do I care if it's well-regarded. I have eyes to read. Everyone but me is welcome to love it. But I am right. Content-free.
Margaret Atwood completely and unequivocally blown the fuck out.
