How do some people read so damn fast? Back in highschool, I had a friend who read the five ASOIF books in a week. I know he wasn't lying because he answered a bunch of super specific questions properly. Are these people just super dedicated, or some form of genius?

Think about every bit of free time you have in your day. Now think about if you were reading for every second of it.

According to what I looked up, the Montcrieff version of Swann's Way is about 200,000 words while the Lydia Davis version is about 150,000. I know Montcrieff is often called flowery but damn that difference is huge.

Well hello there, I just thought some of you kind people would love to set up an online library of textbooks and generally non-fiction books that would be available for everyone. I would also make sure the library is backed up on a storage device.

>Virgil exhibits the embodiment of virtue. He throughout his life maintained a "chaste piety". Virgil is not a people person; he is sort of Jungian introvert. He found little pleasure in desires of the flesh. To Virgil, 'trahit sua quemque voluptas' (each is led by his liking). Virgil opted to find pleasure in pastoral life. "Moral character, says Virgil, grows on the farm; all the old virtues that made Rome great were planted and nourished there; and hardly any process of seed sowing, protection, cultivation, weeding, and harvesting but has its counterpart in the development of the soul"
>Ovid maintained a very different personality type than Virgil. He laughed at the Aeneid. Ovid's carefree attitude and extrovert personality became counter-intuitive to Augustan political and moral reforms. Ovid's prose focused not on duty, piety, or pietas, it focused on the fulfillment of personal pleasure. Which in Ovid's eyes were love, sex, and the art of perpetual courtship. Ovid is a satirist who loved promiscuity and conquering challenges. Ovid proclaimed that Venus appointed him "tutor of tender love"
Which one is /ourguy/? Whose works are better?

ovid, virgil respectively

Shakespeare loved Ovid more, so Ovid for me.
I love the Georgics more than the Aeneid (to me it is far better), but I like the style of Ovid more: it is more bold, more colorfull, more exagerated, more metaphorical.
>>
Virgil easily
Ovid was a faggot degenerate who cried #notmyemperor and got btfo
Virgil was a pious nationalist who brought glory to Rome.
They are both remembered for their respective epics but their other works show their true worth, assuming Aeneid and Metamorphoses are equal.

I just finished Mad Men and would love to read a great book about the advertising industry, it would be cool if the book covered everything.

Mad Men made advertising seem more interesting than it probably is.
>>
>>9219137
Probably true, but I did a little research and watched a pbs documentary on it and found I was much more interested in the effect advertising had on society. The show didn't just interest me with the drama, but the science of advertising.

Post a famous lullaby from your country
I will post the translation and the original. This one is from Brazil.
If this street
If this street were mine
I would order
I would order it to be tiled
With little rocks
With little sparkling diamond rocks
For my love
For my love to walk upon it
In this street
In this street there is a wood
That is called
That is called loneliness
Inside it
Inside it there lives an angel
That has stole
That has stole my hearth away
If I have stole
If I have stole your heart away
You have stolen
You have also stolen mine
If I stole
If I stole your heart away
That’s because
That’s because I want you well
Se essa rua
Se essa rua fosse minha
Eu mandava
Eu mandava ladrilhar
Com pedrinhas
Com pedrinhas de brilhante
Para o meu
Para o meu amor passar
Nessa rua
Nessa rua tem um bosque
Que se chama
Que se chama solidão
Dentro dele
Dentro dele mora um anjo
Que roubou
Que roubou meu coração
Se eu roubei
Se eu roubei teu coração
Tu roubaste
Tu roubaste o meu também
Se eu roubei
Se eu roubei teu coração
É porque
É porque te quero bem

A-a-a, a-a-a,
byly sobie kotki dwa.
A-a-a, kotki dwa,
szarobure, szarobure obydwa.
Ach, śpij, kochanie,
jesli gwiazdke z nieba chcesz - dostaniesz.
Wszystkie dzieci, nawet źle,
pogrążone są we śnie,
a ty jedna tylko nie.
A-a-a, a-a-a,
byly sobie kotki dwa.
A-a-a, kotki dwa,
szarobure, szarobure obydwa.
Ach, śpij, bo wlaśnie
księżyc ziewa i za chwilę zaśnie.
A gdy rano przyjdzie świt
księzycowi będzie wstyd,
ze on zasnąl, a nie ty.
Ah-Ah-Ah, Two Little Kittens
Lullaby
(English)
Ah-ah-ah*, ah-ah-ah,
There were once two little kittens.
Ah-ah-ah, two little kittens,
They were both grayish-brown.
Oh, sleep, my darling,
If you'd like a star from the sky I'll give you one.
All children, even the bad ones,
Are already asleep,
Only you are not.
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah,
There were once two little kittens.
Ah-ah-ah, two little kittens,
They were both grayish-brown.
Oh, sleep, because
The moon is yawning and he will soon fall asleep.
And when the morning comes
He will be really ashamed,
That he fell asleep and you did not.

I have never read a book about philosophy before. Well, a tiny bit of Freud and Plato.
Can i jump straight to Max Stirner- The Ego and Its Own?
My IQ is around 240 so pre-knowledge won't be necessary.
