"Here lies Malcolm Lowry,
late of the Bowery,
whose prose was flowery,
and often glowery.
He lived nightly,
and drank daily,
and died playing the ukulele"

Any suggestions for audiobooks?

I drive about 4-6 hours per day for work, and have the demo "2 free books" from Audible.

I've been listening to Sam Harris, Bill Burr, and Joe Rogan podcasts, but I want to find something of better substance to enjoy on the road.

Any suggestions?

Ty, almost read this a while ago actually.

What does /lit/ think about this book? I've had disagreements over it with three different people (all of whom happened to be girls). All of them passionately loved the book and thought it was beautiful. They seemed kind of flabbergasted that I didn't. I thought the author was trying way, way too hard. Every sentence might as well have been replaced by "LOOK AT ME I AM TRYING TO MAKE THIS VERY DEEP AND BEAUTIFUL." Felt gimmicky as well.

But that is my opinion.

Indeed.

definitely parts where the author was being over symbolic and introspective. but it was a pretty easy read and i found it enjoyable. it's more of a young adult novel and i don't think it claims to be more than that.

Does Esperanto use noun cases very much?

Hello, I have been trying to get tongue reading. I have little experience in the field, but it is necessary for my job prospects when I arrive in canada. Have you any experience with tongue reading in canada? Where did you learn this art in a school from a teacher? Recommendations are asked because it is important for my job potential.

How do I begin reading Shakespeare? Where do I start with his writing? What should I know before getting into it? How should I review what I've read?

The last time I read him was 3 years ago in high school and my teacher revealed more in Hamlet than I ever would have been capable for seeing if I read it myself. How do I read the texts so as to not have deep, meaningful prose go over my head?

Historical plays ? tragedies ? any title ? looks like you're too stupid to figure out what a useful answer would be. Also I'm not even OP.
>>
Just read it, and don't look at the annotations every time they have one just because they are there. Try to get the words from context, then if the sentence still doesn't make sense, check it.
It's hard to understand if your reading isn't smooth. Don't be afraid to read scenes a few times in a row. You will get more once you know what happens.

the quintessential "modern" Space Opera might be
> James S.A. Corey
>> The Expanse series

However, honestly, for the real Space Opera Feel, I would recommend different Books, since "The Expanse" is basically the most bland and derivative (albeit: Enjoyable! I really love it!) Series.
First:
> Robert Heinlein "Moon is a Harsh Mistress"

after: (care with the titles, I read them and have them in my bookshelf in german!)
> C.J. Cherryh, "Hard Times",
> C.J. Cherryh, "Hellfire"
> C.J. Cherryh "Downbelow Station"

then
> Joe Haldeman "the Forever War"

then
> that Halo Novel, "the Cole Protocol"

that would be a reasonably Epic Space Opera Feel you get from that runthrough.

However, after that you might not enjoy the Expanse series as much, as its Derivative Nature will really be standing out,

so maybe start with the Expanse:
> James S.A. Corey
> Shortstories first: "Drive", "Gods of Risk", "The Churn"
> Leviathan Wakes
> Calibans War
> Abaddons Gate
> Cibola Burn
> Nemesis Games
> Babylons Ashes

there you go! :) Enjoy!
