Nobody on /lit/ has really read him even though he's the most important romantic, even the oldfags around their 30s.

Read him and shill him on /lit/, plz n thx

>>9622711
Love him, but reading a whole bunch of him at once is bewildering.

His almost childishly direct rhythm is infectious and admirable.

>>9622748
Case in point, this dude has barely read past what you can read beyond the norton poetry collection.

I've read the majority of his work, but am too lazy to shill. Also, I hate this place, besides a few people.

Plz do shill him, someone.

You need to understand the greeks in order to fully comprehend Aquinas, that should be your endgame.

>>9622481
But why should I care about understanding Aquinas

>>9622475
Because the amount of insight they provided into being human still hasnt been matched

Thanks, glad you liked it

The bit with his dog Argos kills me every time.

What I love about it is that, my whole life, I'm conditioned to expect a sort of epic adventure story made up of fights with cyclops and whatnot. Turns out, that stuff is blown through in a couple of books, and the majority of the epic is devoted to an increedible story of identity. Caught me off guard

>>9622467
All related by a disguised old storyteller who tells it to the nobility of an island about to be closed off from the rest of humanity forever. Plenty of room the poet leaves the auditor to suspect it's all a bullshit tale, but one point is that this hardly matters. A lesson very many still need to learn in this OCD 'muh accuracy, muh scientific rigor' age.

If you have to ask, the answer is no.

>>9622300
even if you don't have to ask it isn't worth buying.

Make sure to read all of Poe beforehand

But we support Saudis who sew women's vaginas shut, Egyptians who bomb Christian churches, because of oil.

Have you not read the Republic?

I'm not defending Khomeini, none of us would want to live in his state, I imagine. But he's the closest any ruler has come to putting Plato's ideas into effect.

>they haven't either, they're just pretending, dipshit.

Just like Malala the sand nigger, she was just a SJW and got shot in the head, and boom, Nobel prize of peace, now that´s bullshit

I used to be a big Fitzgerald fan and remember liking Tender is the Night quite a bit, but haven't gone back to it in a while. Also remember the short story "A Diamond as Big as the Ritz" having an effect on me. Might start with that and see if you like it.

>>9621775
All of his novels except maybe the unfinished one are worth it.

I liked tender is the night better than the great Gatsby. If you read it make sure you get the 1934 edition, not the 1950's edition -- they change the order of the 3 books of the novel.
After the first book I wants really into it, but each book got progressively better.
I don't want to spoil it but if you want to know anything more just say.

We're redpilled and for a white ethnostate with women back in the kitchen where they belong.

We believe in hiarachy, tradition, white culture, and the Lord. Women should remain virgins till marriage and shouldn't choose their own partners. It's what has destroyed this earth

Bulgakov, Shalamov (but they were anti-communists, commie literature is shit by the very definition)

Decent for a children's book. Would suggest it over Harry Potter.
I would put my kid on Narnia instead. (Followed by LOTR in middle school)

I can't think of other mentionable series that are
at that reading level.

why would i read a childrens book

>>9621290
Because it's good

>>9621088
probably the second half of your post, but idk. why do you ask?

Because to understand Marx you have to understand how jews think. Are you jewish?

>>9621124
>Because to understand Marx you have to understand how jews think
explain.

They're only bad if you hate the covers and the garnett translation of crime and punishment is great so you're not missing out there.
