Romeo & Juliet is essential Shakespeare, do that one first

Othello and Julius Caesar next, they're really just a lot better

> not saving Winter's Tale for winter

I skipped Twelfth Night. I read a few of Shakespeare's comedies and they did nothing for me. The tragedies are his best imo.

From my doorstopper stack:
Les Miserables
Don Quixote
Anna Kerenina
Herodotus' The Histories
The idiot

trace its development.

meme with aristophenes, see how that develops with the romans, yadda yadda, modern comedy.

there are certain things that are timeless when it comes to comedy. the idea is realizing this and expressing it in a way that is relevant to modern times.

what

haven't written in two days, but good overall. I got three short stories that are publishable that I need to edit, finishing another. Working on sort of a joke of a book that I want to self publish just to see what happens, then I got an idea for a total sellout market kissass book that I'm pretty positive I can get published if my other 3 books continue going nowhere.

I haven't write any of my books in more than 1 year...

Have been working all year on my first novel. Finishing my final read through today, then will be prepping to send it to publishers over the next week. Feels pretty damn good desu

I don't know enough about American poetry to give her the title of best but she's one of my favourite poets.

The only American poet I've liked at all is Robert Frost.

yeah probably, american poetry is quite shit honestly but dickinson is fine

So, 50 threads for this and 50 for the other. How much are you lads paid?

>>9879096
why couldnt you have posted this in the other threads?

>>9879096
I got mine already preordered. /lit/ is full of pseuds.

She's a decent poet, maybe even better than decent.

What is your native language?
Nearly everyone there is fluent in English.
Will you stay longer? If not, I would suggest to just use English.

Doulingo should do it

If that's your social media account you're extremely cancerous to 4chan and should stick to normie channels. Even posting it means you should do that, honestly.

RJ is too practical for Greece

Reading Euclid is still satisfying.

is math interesting to learn non-academically?

i was somewhat of a prodigy, skipping grades and all that with math, but it was sort of all in my head to begin with - so on top of never caring about school, i never learned how to learn math so that when i got into more abstract stuff (even like calc ii), i would just sort cheat my way thru. long story short is that i dont have a great grasp on theoretical math past entry level calc, but probably have the mental horsepower for it; is it worth checking out?

god, i loved that book

What the fuck are you on about? It's a great book. Sorry you wasted your time reading George RR Fartin, but don't take it out on David Bienhoff.

He isn't that wrong. Aristoteles was wrong about most things but his thought process was still way better than from this obnoxious faggot.

Now obvious the OP is in the wrong for giving this idiot more publicity.

Didn't /ourguy/ nick land say the same thing about ol' ari?

>completely forgetting the aristotic method
dumbass john green back again

I dont think those things are related at all..

My guess is that you have started to bald and you want to feel better about it.

You won't get that kind of validation from this board. The truth is that the bald men who are the happiest are those who are not consumed by their baldness.

I mean of course but we should preserve the Mythos of Ulysses because it distracts pseuds

>beating Joyce in a fight

Not much of an accomplishment, dude could hardly see.

Well you're definitely right about the second part, at least. Joyce was a reedy, pencil-necked fucker, while Melville was a sailor who actively exercised.
