Manages to be simultaneously far too convoluted for its own good and more boring than the historical events it's based on (War of the Roses).

The thing that struck me about The Sermon is that literally everyone knows how the story of Job goes, it's very old territory, and yet I couldn't tear myself away from the pages. There were just layers and layers of stuff going on.

Can't really annotate an audiobook, anon. They're for people who want stories read to them on their commute. They aren't conducive to fully understanding the text.

Prima facie I find it repulsive to change a work of (((art))) for the sake of equality (not just in this case but in general) regarding skin color, sex or whatever. However, I think this absolutely needs to be done if we ever want to reach a place where a thing such as pic related is not done for the sake of equality, but for the sake of artistic exploration. Consider our current times a transition period, if you will.

Yes, you know better than all those critics and readers anon, you are so special, you have cracked the code and figured out that this book is nothing special. I congratulate you on your astonishing and revolutionary opinion.

>>9538326
What is your opinion of it?

>>9538300
>It's nothing special.
It is relatively simple, but highly enjoyable work. Ofcourse it'll be super popular. Kind of like Stranger but less pretentious.

Probably not worth your time OP. Whilst there is no doubt he is the heavyweight of free market economics, a lot of what he wrote had since been said a lot better by others. You'll probably find yourself thinking that you already know most of what hes written in the book simply because todays modern thought is completely based on him.

It focuses a lot on the society at the time to, which is which is what Smith is commenting on - a lot more descriptive and historical than purely theoretical.

eh, every economist after smith read him, so probably

>I've seen plenty of people on /lit/ absolutely LOSE their shit whenever someone dares to make a SK thread or to mention they enjoyed 1 or 2 of his works.
Really? I don't believe you. Find me some recent examples.

>Where does this fuming rage at one writer come from?

Probably because he's one of the most famous author today, and if you ask someone under ~40 what they read, they'll probably only mention him, even though there's so much better out there. Not that he's bad, but you know.

Why are STEM fags so obsessed with status?

Because it isn't lit.

I take you seriously neechee

Nobody took Nietzsche seriously in life, why would they in death?

What do people misinterpret about Neetchee?

Suffering, meaning of life, existentialism, theology, good vs evil, human experience.

I spent the day listening to Ravel while yearning for a non-existent past where our destiny wasn't to return to stardust.

I can't decide what book to read. I own hundreds of them and instead of reading them I just sit in my chair and stare at the bookcases, doing nothing, growing more anxious and frustrated by the minute.

I think I'm going to go eat some red curry and masturbate.
