He plays on the beach, kisses another boy, wears cute outfits and so on.

It's also implied that he's aware of Aschenbachs attentions

>he read Heart of Darkness AND blood meridian
Dude...

heart of darkness is an utter slog

Is my post bad or am I just not understanding something?

You're in for about $0.50 worth of literary value in 930 pages.

Great pulp.

"The Hyborian Age" has obvious influence from the ethnographic works of Herodotus.

Soz man, that sucks. You might want to read Borges' essay on being blind, I recommended it to some litizen once and they said it helped them.

my mind

Title of book: the temple of the golden pavilion
Author: mishima
Fiction or non fiction: both
Characters: Mizoguchi, Kashiwagi, Tsurukawa
My favorite part of the story was when: Mizoguchi burned down the Golden Temple. The entire book leads up to that glorious end

We've been reading since only 3000BC, it is much more natural to listen. Physical books will hopefully soon become a thing of the past, and everything will become either audio or electronic.

>>9114178
maybe you've been reading since 3000 bc, i started a bit earlier

>>9114178

lots of laziness with just listening

>>9114068
Find the good ones, duh.

Just don't bother, brainlet.

Kill yourself

Jeez I don't know, could this acclaimed masterpiece of literature really be worth the time of a 4chan shitposter? I hope we'll all waste our time to find out.

first you should read Alain de Botton's "How Proust can change your life". It's acclaimed academic work. And first of all, a comfy reading.

>>9114056
yeah then watch all of The School of Life on Youtube. They're great...I love how they tell you you can learn about life and stuff from these old dead geezers like Marcy Prowst.

But nobody implied that.

It was probably my favourite with Paradiso being my least favourite (not because it was necessarily bad, but my own ignorance and struggle to comprehend much of it really dashed my enjoyment of it). I should probably re-read the Divine Comedy again sometime but overall anyone denying its greatness is just being flippant.

>anyone denying its greatness is just being flippant
But nobody denied that.

Purgatorio > Inferno >>>>>>>>> Paradiso

I think we can all agree on this.

Schoppy has a pretty clear list of corrections. Most people would say the murderers, but he's right about that if a sperg.

nigger thought he would solve philosophy
