they don't,

translators have to take liberties anyway, but you can usually find two rhyming words that will work if you try.

Well books don't make you smarter. That's completely up to your genetic makeup.

Not your personal army, buddy, though this person is particularly smarmy. "10 Point Plan for Fighting Misogyny Among Venture Capitalists." Finally, someone has identified the real enemy of women's rights!

Books don't make you smarter, but they can make you more thoughtfull. To read dry and hard books like, idk, fucking The Capital from Marx, anyone can, being able to reflect upon the info presented, being able to criticize the info presented and being able to reach for other sources of info to better develop the concept and/or better understand it isen't up for book-reading, is for your own will to do so. It's laborious and usualy revolves around a lot of criticism and self-criticism, way harder than just stick to some so called "Thruth" and hold it dogmaticaly and refuse to think of any possibilitie of being it wrong.

Do you literally mean puns or something more like kennings? If you mean the latter, that's a lot easier because it's represented extremely well in older literature.

>>9797742
I did mean puns, but I'd be interested to see some stuff on kennings as well!

>>9797767

Norse sagas in particular are well-known for their kennings. Most epic poetry, in general, will have them.

I'm less sure on puns, but I'd take a look at Lewis Carroll's stuff, since (whether there are truly very many puns or not) he is extremely inventive with language.

I think it's possible I'm being played the fool, but, seriously, is this thread a joke?

>>9797699

> The joke is that nothing changes

>>9797699
>the conflict echoes to the inner struggle of the main character

>That which is, ultimately, *is* (italics). To change the unchanging is to say what is, isn't. But what is, is.

When you get to Urth of the New Sun

Go to bed aramani.

The first 100 pages are where it's good. You can safely drop it now.

If you like Baudelaire then check out Lautreamont's Les Chants De Maldoror and Ligotti's I Have A Special Plan For This Word and his collection Death Poems.

I would also recommend a copy of T.S. Eliot's collected poems, you can't go wrong with Prufrock and The Hollow Men.

If you liked the classics (nice to see someone else here likes Os Lusiadas, that book is a masterpiece) then definetely check out Aniara.

>>9797368
Thanks for the suggestions, I will check it out, anon.

Checkout Fernando Pessoa and i second Les Chants de Maldoror

He is right about rushing an author, its all about content.

The reason he is a hack is because he sold his magnus opus to the Hollywood jew and is letting them write the ending for him.

How much is it? The only time I've heard it talked about on here was through this chart. I also like Swans but am hesitant to see if Gira's talent in songwriting and lyricism can be translated to prose in case its shit.

>>9797004
Haven't read it but I can't imagine it would meet your expectations. Can't find any .pdfs?? I would like to read it too.

>>9797028
cheapest used copy is about 40 dollars. It's out of print.
