God damnit why dont youbjust read it and the drop it when you're not interested anymore instead of asking lit to give you an opinion

People say it sucks after the first one, I never thought the first one was that great.

Personally I think the sci fi series was the best rendition of the story done so far.

have your friends actually read it, or are they redditors?

not even interesting enough to read for fun making of purposes

My mother sucks fish

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Probably because of its predominately urban fantasy/YA associations

because its fantasy

Is the metamorphosis by kafka magical realism?

I think your post said it all, OP. well goddamn done.

*takes a bow*

It's too vast and unstable in time to be fit for accurate description in it's entirety. You could probably condense only 4chan and it's trends in some 200-300 pages, even though the last 2 years would take up about a half of the book.

I have difficulty finding a way to express my passionate intensity that doesn't terminate in useless suicide desu, so as a result I tend to live in my head somewhat, recently.

That's a Bertrand Russell quote isn't it? Bertie was so cringeworthy I just hate him.

Wicked paired with idiot is somewhat obfuscating. The end result rings 'benign' or perhaps even 'innocent'. Unless of course youre simply being aggressive.

Yeats paired with Wagner weirdly reminds me that Yeats was in Paris, at the premiere of Ubu Roi. It also brings Louis XIV's great meme to mind: Apres moi, etc.

Of course, youre right- even generally speaking. If you enjoy Opera, for instance, you can only resist Wagner for so long. He's beyond incredible.

Never started reading it. It's the best book of all times.

don't you have an opinion or a you thirteen, faggot?

Oh, come on. Give this brah duh bReAk. He addresses this noble board in one of about three typical (you)-avoidance forms. I know this (you) and ((you)) know this.. (((We))) also know that Charterhouse is fine, better, even, than Rouge et Noir. What's next on your list, anon?

You go to >>>/mu/classical

Opera is a middle ground between music and literature, since what you usually call "lyrics", here it's actually poetry.

Anse is literally /ourguy/

Addie. Simply for the best analysis of modern religion & faith ever presented:

>One day I was talking to Cora. She prayed for me because she believed I was blind to sin, wanting me to kneel and pray too, because people to whom sin is just a matter of words, to them salvation is just words too.

the drugstore dude who bonks Caddy or whatever her name was.

I swear I've seen this posted more than once before. Is this a meme, or are you being serious?

>>9342137
norm is to 4chan what louis ck is to reddit

>>9342137
It's not a meme, it's the best novel of 2016, and probably the funniest book I've ever read. But I don't understand the plot progression very well.

That one lady that was friends with Chesterton and Tolkien. It rhymes and everything. Amazing feat.

>>9341967
yeah that one lady! she also has a decent translation of that one book I hear

>>9341962
Read the most artistic one (which I believe is the Ciardi one)
A lot is lost in translation and it becomes cumbersome if the translation is too direct

I liked it a lot too. Not sure if I would re read it though now that I'm older

Definitely my favorite book when I was younger, it's really something unique. I keep a copy around because of that, though I haven't tried re-reading it in a long long time.

Doesn't hold a candle to my main man artemis

Start with the Greeks, I thought we had already established that ffs

Define ''classic literature''.

Understanding philosophy is one thing. If you're just reading fiction/mythology/poetry then nothing says you can't start with Dostoevsky before Homer.

GREEKS

(especially those nice homo poems about loving young boys)

Yes, but you can't be Christian without believing in God.
