Pretty good, and you should enjoy it, but personally I don't think Karamazov is as good as Dostoevsky's other works. The Song of Roland is very underrated though.

>>10032730
No, Harrison
>>10032737
Forgot to add that Karamazov isn't for class.

Of course the only popular German philosophers (Nietzsche and Marx) taken up by French philosophers were anti-Germany

What about Heidegger? he was pretty pro german and the aids ridden left bank pomofags had no choice but to suck his cock and stand in awe of his Teutonic genius.
>>
Postmoderns philosophers are responsible for the West's current dysmal state. Derrida, who believe categorization is exclusion and all thought is oppression, is the forefather of identity politics, relativism and gender pronouns
>>
>>10032199
Marx was not German, retard. He was a jew, as was Derrida. These are pseud mistakes.

Assuming high IQ, how much pages do you need to read before understanding what is good writing?
So far I've got the following:
>Concrete writing
>no baroque ornamentation
>Use of figures of speech
>Descriptions of scenes like poetrhy
>Descriptions of action like a camera of film

It's one of the greatest works of literature. If you like it check out his other works and other Russian authors like Tolstoy and Solzhenitsyn.

Is it worth re-reading Infinite Jest? Read it for the first time about a month ago and i feel i missed out on a lot of stuff.

don't do that yet. read some other stuff that helps you expand your understanding of the canon, catch up on other mediums, bite some life, and then you're guaranteed to notice a few more things upon re-reading.

>>10031028
It wasn't worth reading even once

>>10031047
Don't listen to this piece of shit, anon.
Infinite Jest is one of the best texts you can reread. Use Google, explore the Infinite Jest projects, and commit yourself to a detailed reread of the novel. It's worth it, especially if you're an open-minded male, and even more especially if you're open to diverse experiences. You can experience nothing but positive experiences through revisiting it (if you're not a close-minded bigot).

No. What's it about? The relationship between the title and author is admittedly a bit clever. I've been to Taipei for three days, and I wonder what sort of bullshit this book has to say about Taipei (if it's not employing it metaphorically).

Yes. A fairly banal summation of post-modern boredom.

It's directed toward you, OP, since you clearly don't understand its meaning given that you need to create a thread for others to explain it to you.

alright /lit/, so is postmodernism really dead?
so far I've only heard DFW arguing about how this all new sincerity thing was put to work after the 9/11 attacks; as if a moment of solemnity were the final nail to the postmodern coffin.
but nowadays 9/11 memes are cancer and don't trigger any emotions whatsoever, let alone amusement, and people laugh unironically at ISIS executions, make memes including hardcore porn and basically just browse /b/ to kill their time
I feel like DFW were wrong all along - he'd seen 9/11 as the ultimate argument speaking for new sincerity, while in fact it was only an overture for the birth of the internet era
and the internet, so far, seems as alive as ever - and feels so postmodern I sometimes wonder if it hadn't been invented by Poncho before he consumed between 4 and 5 pounds of marajuana and collapsed in his Gordita Beach residence
