The Bible

>the slight squint of the woman in OP's pic

Now I see what Tolstoy meant when he described Katusha as having a slight squint.

"When he brought Katusha back to his mind, now, this moment veiled all else; the smooth glossy black head, the white tucked dress closely fitting her graceful maidenly form, her, as yet, un-developed bosom, the blushing cheeks, the tender shining black eyes with their slight squint heightened by the sleepless night, and her whole being stamped with those two marked features, purity and chaste love, love not only for him (he knew that), but for everybody and everything, not for the good alone, but for all that is in the world, even for that beggar whom she had kissed."

So yeah, I would recommend reading Tolstoy's "Resurrection."

Ovid's Metamorphoses, possibly Lucretius' On the Nature of the Universe

Apuleius

Hesiod

we unambiguously hate it, its a meme here

Just kill yourself k?

I tried the first one, gave up halfway into it. It's a waste of time. Characters are boring, plot is shit, protagonist is a fucking Mary Sue special snowflake that I wish someone would murder.

It's a book

don't tell me what to do

FM 7-22 (PT, probably superseded now)
Soldier's Handbook (TRADOC PAM 600-4, Ch8 especially)
Ranger Handbook
Soldier's Manual of Common Tasks (SMCT)

Dunno about other services, but reading and mastering these is 99% of what the Army teaches you about small unit tactics. Cheers.

It's too long and involved to be a play, and anyway I thought Gaddis pulled it off

Anything useful to say?

He means nobody can save us, because God is dead.

We are totally fucked. Nuclear holocaust can't come soon enough.

being a philosopher after antiquity is a contest of how close you can get to accepting Christ without just being another normie. in this sterling example, Heidegger neglects to leave off the indefinite article from the undeniably true statement that our only salvation is to be found in God

philosophy BTFO

How can Greekfags ever recover?

It was a subtle way to call everyone a brainlet. He told everyone he knew nothing and btfo out of everyone so when he told them what the Oracle said they would kys themselves.

who was hemingway's waifu?

not in terms of IRL waifus, but his novels often used a woman as a focal point, which the stories build around.

farewell to arms and for whom the bell tolls are both built around a big strong American and his submissive foreign waifu

it reads like beta fan fiction

>>9469614
their both shit, let's face it woman authors are simply inferior to the white man of rationality and logic and redpillianism
don't be cuck really, women destroyed the west they simply shouldnt be involved in art or politics because their too emotional and simply arent as ontologically 'there' as white men.

>>9469625
Ah okay

I hate to join the meme majority, but I'm pretty sure Bronte is everything wrong with female authors and readers
>have female coworker
>only decently read, not self-absorbed female I've met
>have literature discussions occasionally, mostly on fiction works
>even got to explain to her how shit Gatsby is without her taking it as some direct emotional attack
>about two weeks ago she reread Jane Eyre
>Suddenly she can't stop namedropping Jane Eyre and how awesome Jane Eyre is even outside of literary conversations
It's like the book is just 'Pseudointellectualism for Lonely Women'
