Blame the shitty medieval arab translations.
Aristotle himself was one of the most versatile speakers in the ancient world.

I actually haven't.
Although I can easily acquire the books in an electronic format, it would seem that the newspaper comic strips are outside my grasp as per electronic editions.

I can't see that well with paper text, and was hoping I could remedy that.

There must be an origin to all these Moomin crops and reaction images. Surely.

If I can't find it, I'll just pick up a hardcover and run a scan myself.

I don't want to be that oddball using a magnifying lens to read something.

Reminder that moominfags are just ponyfags trying to infiltrate other boards.

at least you can read a book

my brain has been melted to where i can't focus on a book

i only read contemporary theater now. god's ear by jenny schwartz has some good stuff on how awareness of cultural tropes robs yr youth.

Well if you know Spanish it should be easy to learn Portuguese. Luís de Camões, Fernando Pessoa, Eça de Queiroz, Saramago,..
These are probably the most famous Portuguese authors. Since your book is about culture definitely read "A Mensagem" by Pessoa and "Os Lusíadas" by Camões.

Witty was just a stupid loser. The only thing that caused him to be famous is that there are enough people even more stupid to read and praise him.

You're right. Continental brainlets will never understand

>>9130160
You're right that the people who praise Wittgenstein are brainlets but the irony is that he was actually right about everything.

Cuckology is dominant within much of society and is promoted by the lamestream media as such.

The one thing I can't stand about most boards on 4chan is that everyone seems to think that we somehow shape culture. Pynchon was critically acclaimed before most people here were even born, to try and say that he's some inside joke that we came up with is ridiculous.

Summarize 3 general (but maybe profound, or at least important points) that everyone (including and especially brainlets) should know or would learn from this book:

If you cannot do this, you must return your Shill member (and rewards) card, and get your Anti-Brainlet badge revoked

Looking very closely, there's quite a high volume of proper dictionary words. Oh my God, is this a translation?

What is essential in art remains its perfection of existence, its production of perfection and plenitude; art is essentially affirmation, blessing, deification of existence -- What does a pessimistic art signify? Is it not a contradictio? -- Yes. -- Schopenhauer is wrong when he says that certain works of art serve pessimism. Tragedy does not teach "resignation" -- To represent terrible and questionable things is in itself an instinct for power and magnificence in an artist: he does not fear them -- There is no such thing as pessimistic art -- Art affirms. Job affirms. -- But Zola? But the Goncourts? Flaubert? -- The things they display are ugly: but that they display them comes from their pleasure in the ugly -- It's no good! If you think otherwise, you're deceiving yourselves.

Gorgon-Zola : the joy of stinking

I'm not crazy for Zola but his novels are not as boring as they could be. I liked the first Rougon-Macquart, "La fortune des Rougon". Not enough to keep reading other ones, though.
What I remember is that the 13yo female protagonist had some light moustache hairs.

just read the greeks

the "start with the greeks" meme is the "install gentoo" of /lit/

I'm at level six, just gotta turn into the beluga.

I'd use her goods and services if you know what I mean
