Shitposting aside: Are there any underrated Baltic writers I should know about?

>>9202717
Nope, they literally couldn't write until the 1500s and they didn't write anything but Christian pedagogical works until the 1800s.

Plato - Apology of Socrates.

Homer.

As has been said,Homer.
You may also want to read Ovid's Metamorphoses as, while not a Greek poem itself, does cover pretty much all the most well-known Greek myths, which are good to know as the images pertaining to those myths are often referred to in later writings.

You're a lost cause anon, just embrace it.

Heidegger applies to every subject he faces the filter of the "question of being", if you understand him it's pretty interesting. He doesn't say anything about ethics, but about the human human condition you can read letter on humanism, for art you can read the origin of the work of art

WHAT

DOTH

LIFE

?

>>9201902
What anon said. Regarding ethics there's this sentence in *Gelassenheit* : "We should do nothing, just wait."

I feel if the music fits the mood of the text im reading its a much more well rounded experience. But of it doesnt match mood then it is super distracting.

There's The Turn of the Screw of course, but it sounds likely you've read that already.

>>9201738

I also hope not, it seemed to close the book on really dry and cheap memoirs. I certainly hope no one splits their life up into six novels again.

>>9201687
maybe in 80 years

unfortunately yes

>>9201670
A bad writer can. The only thing it takes to be successful is sales and most people buy shit. This, mixed with the fact that the publishing industry is filled with self fellating faggots, means most good writers are doomed to be unsuccessful.

>>9201670
Yes. With genre, the plots are the main thing so if someone can nail those the rest has a good chance of falling into place regardless of writing quality.

However, a successful 'literary' fiction writer always makes a terrible genre fiction writer. Yet still they try.
