The Beat poets. Ginsberg, Kerouac, etc. also Rimbaud and probably Baudelaire.

Dylan is a poet.

Ok.. (that's debatable, but) what other poets will I like?

>wasting your time on the Greeks

Now who's the brainlet? If the Greeks were so great they wouldn't be extinct.

If a book has lasted for decades, it probably has something of value to it. New stuff is just recycled old stuff.

basically to find the good ones u just have to sample them all...i torrent the fuck out of every self-help audiobook that i can find, many are shit, many are repetitive with the same points i hear a million times before, but maybe one in five is worth listening to all the way through for some motivation, and maybe one in ten has some real useful shit...when u strike gold it's like holy shit i can't believe i went through life not knowing that!

I know I sound like a stupid pleb but is Watership Down the book as good as Watership Down the movie?

That movie was pretty good in my opinion

The movie is a diet version of Watership Down

The book contains a more fleshed-out story, including rabbit mythology stories interspersed throughout, adding to the worldbuilding aspect.

Oh good, now I'm positive I should never read it.

In Spanish, the most common stress pattern are emphatic (enfático), heroic (heróico) y melodic (melódico). These three's sixth and tenth syllabes are stressed (these are called static stresses, or ''acentos fijos''), the only difference is whether the first stress is placed in the first (emphatic), second (heroic) or third (melodic) syllabe.
Accentual versification in Spanish isn't very common though.

>the most "natural" meter in English is blank verse.
The most "natural" meter in English is rhymed iambic couplets.

It's philosophy, so no.

>should i read outdated philosopher?

When will you plebs get to contemporary stuff that is actually relevant?

Overrated piece of junk. Its role in the history of the philosophical tradition is vastly overstated. Its contributions were in fact nothing groundbreakingly new, much less relevant for its time.

Don't bother.

:o

I can just sense that this will be a worthwhile thread.

Start by learning french, then read their big names (not neccessarily their whole ouvre, one work per author should suffice), then you move to italian, it'll be easier once you have mastered french, read Petrarca, Dante, Ludovico Ariosto, etc. Italian will make learning spanish piss easy, though the number of works you gain access to is limited compared with the previous. There is no reason to read german philosophy if you're into the greeks

Going through a whole list is a very tedious enterprise, especially if you're already a beginner reader. If you're just reading things because "they have to be read" you're going to be miserable and probably give up. You can still read good literature while reading something you enjoy and that you're genuinely interested in reading.

Fine but they skip all the core eastern poetry and the four great novels of China. Considering that China had a culture in which you couldn't hold public office without learning how to read it write poetry, this is a glaring omission towards your goal.

Religion. I agree on the rest.

Taking the road less travelled isn't necessarily a good thing. Most people who read it believe that it's a positive.

I still fail to understand the epilogue of this. That was too deep.

I think its more Sympathy for the Devil/"Rather laugh with the sinners than die with the saints" than traditional views of Satan.

its pretty clear that the master and margarita become a part of satans inner circle and arrive at their own form of paradise

dunno. my translation is atrocious and i've never made it past about page 30. i really need to find a better version.

>the nazis were just sexually frustrated lmao :^)

Freudian psychoanalysis is a predictable joke. How can anyone take it seriously?

ugh, fucked up the spoiler

>>9228181
It's mostly not even about Nazis. Nor Freudian, if I understood that part right.
