Really an enjoyable read, I never felt the urge to drop the book. Definitely recommend it.
The third part of the book made me think of the Rape of the Sabines and the parts before it could be compared to Aeneas' journey, but what other references and themes did I miss?

I've read the book and thought it was brilliant. I've never seen the film however. I've heard it's quite the horror show. My experience reading the book was rather one of comfiness. Should I risk spoiling the experience of reading this marvelous book by watching the film?

What is the most masculine book you have read?

Iliad.

I don't read that much, probably Heart of Darkness, but even that is very emotional and sentimental at times. I reckon it would be extremely difficult to write a manly book that's good.
>>
The most masculine book is at the same the most unmasculine, since striving towards the spook of masculinity is roooted in insecurity.

There is no interpretation more important or more correct than the author's intentions.
If you did not understand what they were saying, the fault is on the public, not the author.
Personal interpretation is just that, personal, and is meant to stay personal. You do not get to define what a book says past the words on the pages.
I'm so fucking sick and tired of taking literature courses and having narcissistic millennial retards project their unhealthy need for attention by believing they somehow, as undergrads, as non-writers, as overall blank slates and smooth brains try and say that the author is wrong in what they were writing and the purpose of it.
I fucking hate everyone in my literature courses.

But if the text doesn't tally with the author's stated intentions, what then?
>>
>>9417374
How do you know what the author intended?
>>
>>9417378
The words are the tally marks. And if you THINK they are saying something else that they do not use specific literary devices to convey, then you're a fraud like the United States education system, and millennial's and their made up problems.

Pic unrelated.
19 yo male college student here.
I'm not THAT socially retarded, I have friends, I don't have any anxieties, I'm also not scared of social events etc. But I'm socially retarded in a way that I don't know what to do or say in many situations.
I'm alright at being friends with other friends of MY friends. No problem at casual talks or cracking jokes etc.
But I'm the only child of my family and we don't have many relatives so it was a lonely childhood and a lonely teenage phase. No cousins, no uncles, no kids in the neighborhood etc.
So I feel like I'm always one step behind because a social life derives from social experiences but as I said, I didn't have much experience growing up.
So is there a book I can use as a guide on how to act in certain social situations?
ps. I've read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and it's not what I'm looking for. Something like an etiquette for young adults would be a better fit I guess??

What the fuck is your problem precisely?

You say yourself that your problem stems from a lack of social experience but you don't think more social experience would solve it?
Reading is the last thing I'd advise you to do.
