I've always found it fascinating that for the most part Catholic nations cannot into capitalism, and Muslim nations really can't either.

Creative Writing I
This room is a wasteland.
A landscape of dust, tile, and old scratched wood.
The light of midday shines through a single window,
beckoning me to the frigid winter winds, and back home to my private world.
I hate poetry.

I know how you feel, man. In highschool I was really into Chemestry but my teacher was explaining how alot of the systems we use to understand things are useful but ultimately disprovable in certain instances and how we still have alot of work to do in the field. So I decided, why bother learning about this shit if some asshole is just gonna revolutionize the field in a few years so I shitpot on 4chan all day instead.

It's be interesting to hear some explanations on possible answer on why they consider them essential.
I doubt there's such a thing as universal essential reading.

So was Billy really time travelling or was it all PTSD induced hallucinations?

neither. it's a work of fiction.
but, OK, leaving that aside, why does it matter? It "really" happened to Billy because the chemicals connecting the neurons in his brain created the experience for him, same as they did in your head when they created the experience of getting raped by your uncle earlier this evening. plato's cave, etc…

There is no riddle to it, no hidden answer that can be found within some labyrinthian logic. Vonnegut doesn't write two possibilities so one can be dismissed, both are there to be considered, both play into the themes of the novel.
Learn to read.

Help a niqqa out /lit/? Need some help finding specific quotes from Shakespeare, having a hard time.
Need 3 quotes from the play Macbeth by Shakespeare.
The quotes need to be about a character feeling angry as a result of being betrayed. Whoever gives me a good one will get 1 free steam game key.

Decided to fall for the memes and start with the Greeks by reading this (exact same translation as pic related)
What am I in for?

I'm on page 400 of the same translation. The Iliad can be extremely repetitive and drag on at times but there are sections that absolutely blew me away. If you become frustrated after reading the same phrase or simile for the 500th time just keep in mind that this was a poem that probably had to be memorized and was first "published" in 700BC. I'm glad I picked it up and I hope you enjoy it as much as I currently am, OP.
