are Light novels the lowest form of Japanese literature? As what i've seen on numerous occasions, they treat LNs as inferior to "legit" novels. Am I even allowed to discuss LNs here?

As a Norwegian I've always felt like our literature stands out compared to the rest of it. Is it just me that is romanticizing my own culture or do you guys also agree?
To me, a lot of our literature can both be really dark (Tor Jonsson etc) and realistic (Amalie Skram, Bjornstjerne Bjornson), but also weird and quirky(Hamsun, Knausgård). Still there is this notable vibe when I am reading it. Anybody feel the same way?
also, north-european literature thread

I talked about 'Haugtussa' for the Norwegian exam, so maybe I'm exaggerating Arne Garborgs importance. But this guy was inspired quite a lot by Wagner and Nietzsche, and probably lots of other people. It has some social commentary, but to me the work is about overcoming (all kinds of) suffering.
'Bondestudentar' is a little similar to 'Sult' by Hamsun. Maybe start with it if you're interested. I will eventually read 'Sult' and 'Markens grode' again. Such cases.

>>9746459
I've bought Markens grode, but I am yet to read it, - going to read Mysterier before it, as I am trying to read his books chronologically

for each, read the SEP article, their 1-2 major works if possible, a reference book and then their 1-2 major works if not, any podcasts, any videos, any referential audiobooks, etc. make sure you at least grasp what the thrust of their thought is that is understood by the thinkers who build on them—the gist is to start weaving the net; getting a loose grasp on all of philosophical thought before going thorough and re-reading, tightening where needed before casting it over eastern thought, then repeating again. this is except for plato, aristotle and the bible, which should be read in their entirety on the first run-through. after you're finished in a couple years, repeat the names in CAPS more thoroughly first. during your readings, make sure to follow along with literature from the time period surrounding the thinker's thought, particularly authors that are name dropped frequently (greeks, dante, shakespeare, etc.) history of science stuff should be looked at too, to the extent there are appropriate sources.

No. The Bagginses are hobbit bourgeoisie and Sam should've led the rest of the working class hobbits to take them down.

>Rhodri Colwyn Philipps, 50 - the 4th Viscount St Davids - wrote the message four days after Ms Miller won a Brexit legal challenge against the government.
>Philipps, of Knightsbridge, London, described her as a "boat jumper" and added: "If this is what we should expect from immigrants, send them back to their stinking jungles."
>He said his comments were "meant to be a form of satire, a literary technique, iterated in my personal style, which may not be to everyone's taste, but is understood and accepted by everyone who knows me".

The drink is red
Vino
The hot
But God Almighty
Does it remind me of her
Walk on the obsidian
Stomp
Sudden crimson
Sweet kiss of summer
Is that who I love?
Feel the pale
Freckle
Speckled
Warm touch
My mind
I deserve naught
But I have plenty
God gave me
More than I earned
But who am I to say?
Crimson goddess
Keep my heart
It is iron
It is strong
But it is wiley
Dearest love
A riverbed
Sad to think it's dead
But the spring is coming
What great prospect
Crimson angel
Thank you
For my soul
And the soul
Is now yours
A clay
Maliable
Shape it
Shape me
Love me
Love you too
You know how
I hope to learn
About your heart
The heat will never be too much

What is a good /lit/ degree that won't have you starving to death? Sorry English and philosophy majors
23 Posts / 3 Images

One that includes other languages such as French or German literature if you're Anglo. You should already be familiar with your native classics by the time you go to university anyway.
>>
>>9745856
Programming might be good. It's not very /lit/ but it's like learning an intensely logical language that might help you get another perspective in the conciseness you address things to other people.

Any degree is fine jobwise as long as it's from a good university and/or you acquire skills and experience that employers want alongside it. Unemployable degrees are a meme.

Why do brainlets like fiction? What good is reading Moby Dick, Les Miserables, Ana Karenina going to do for you? Nothing, it doesn't work your brain, it doesn't allow you to understand different points of views or learn new things like nonfiction does.
