uhhhh literally none because it's a great novel
ulysses is IT

There's no way to do it without being blatantly either talking out of your league ("like lmao my dude why is this chapter styled this way, what's that adding to anything?") or contrarian. Even if you don't like it because of different aesthetic sensibilities, anyone of the class you just described should recognize how masterful it is.

Woolf.

The Sot-weed Factor by John Barth is what I'd attempt to be allowed to read if I was given this as an assignment. Quite bawdy, however, so if youre too young to be on this board (you) didn't hear it from me, ok? It concerns Colonial America in the shape of Tidewater Maryland. Another far more tame novel much of which takes place in Colonial times, and in the same region, is James Michener's Chesapeake, which I read for a book report in a ninth grade World Cultures class.

The Scarlet Letter
Why are puritan chicks such sluts?

>>9313039
If you can stand the prose, there's Cooper's Last of the Mohicans.

>>9313009
that's how ideas get lost in translation. someone could make up what was said. you damn commie

why would i need to write down my thoughts when they are already stored in my memory? are you some altzheimer grandpa?
it makes little to no sense to read someone elses interpretations/criticism since the goal is to form individual opinion about the informations you're processing.

le eidetic memory

neither.

what matters is justice, whether if be the product of right opinions or of understanding. Understanding is superior, but in the end the soul will earn its felicity whether it has felt or thought its way out of its corrupted vessel.

adds = improve upon?

>>9312953
Yes, I suppose so, Socrates

I enjoyed it.

Might as well read Zizek. The same Psychorococo writing minus the /pol/ faggotry.

>>9312918
You probably won't get anything out of it except /pol/ faggotry, if you're as illiterate as the rest of /lit/.

Don Juan, Ode to the West Wind, Tintern Abbey, take your pick.

Auguries of Innocence, The Ruined Cottage, Kubla Khan, So, we'll go no more a-roving, Adonais, To Autumn..

Is the second coming romantic?

notes from underground is /r9k/ the novel and was surprisingly funny

>>9312824
Dostoevsky was a funny guy. You should check out Demons, it's funnier than Notes.

>>9312824

never read it, naturally it's on my shelf, is it worth opening up?

I've got miles of backlog

>>9312809
maybe you should write a book about it.

I think some philosophers are rather enjoyable to read and help with freshening up perspectives, like good ol' Alan Watts.

then again you are right. I think they just want to get qt's and be received as a patrician.

>>9312809
philosophy is about proof, no one gives a shit about the idea.

>>9312828
It's about both

fuck off you racist scum

He was universally considered a joke throughout every humanities department when I was at university (08-13). He was basically viewed as a self-parodying celebrity who gained popularity through his personality rather then from the merit of his "work".
I don't know what the situation is in the rest of the world but in the uk (with exceptions like essex university) zizek didn't fly very far.

The internets view of academia was much different to my experience of it

>>9312784
But he always has actual academics around him and they don't seem much higher tier so to speak.
