>tfw majoring in Chemistry and still find sufficient time to read literature on a daily basis
What are you doing with your life, /lit/?
Majoring in Chemistry, except I've read 12 books this year already, have a 4.0, a 8/10 girlfriend, tons of friends, and compete in bodybuilding, you little bitch

>there is more than 10 ways to win
>there are more than 10 ways to win
which one is correct?
>>9037358
Are
>>9037375
but the subject is more, right?
>>9037390
Nope. Compare to:
>There is a group of ten people on my lawn.
or
>There is more than one way to win.
etc.

late of the Bowery,
whose prose was flowery,
and often glowery.
He lived nightly,
and drank daily,
and died playing the ukulele"

Any suggestions for audiobooks?
I drive about 4-6 hours per day for work, and have the demo "2 free books" from Audible.
I've been listening to Sam Harris, Bill Burr, and Joe Rogan podcasts, but I want to find something of better substance to enjoy on the road.
Any suggestions?

Get yourself the Name of the Rose, my relation. It's a good recording and a great book.
What does /lit/ think about this book? I've had disagreements over it with three different people (all of whom happened to be girls). All of them passionately loved the book and thought it was beautiful. They seemed kind of flabbergasted that I didn't. I thought the author was trying way, way too hard. Every sentence might as well have been replaced by "LOOK AT ME I AM TRYING TO MAKE THIS VERY DEEP AND BEAUTIFUL." Felt gimmicky as well.
But that is my opinion.
>>9036848
Its YA
>>9036914
Indeed.
definitely parts where the author was being over symbolic and introspective. but it was a pretty easy read and i found it enjoyable. it's more of a young adult novel and i don't think it claims to be more than that.
>Jenner is now also a model in a movement dubbed "the Instagirl era" by Vogue magazine
>Instagirl era
Is this the answer to post-modernism?
>>9036699
No, the idea of an "instagirl era" is postmodern.
>>9036699
That's just the society of the spectacle for you.

Hello, I have been trying to get tongue reading. I have little experience in the field, but it is necessary for my job prospects when I arrive in canada. Have you any experience with tongue reading in canada? Where did you learn this art in a school from a teacher? Recommendations are asked because it is important for my job potential.
I can not wait response, this is important. Canada is 7 years.
>>9036433
What the fuck is tongue reading?
I'm Canadian and I have no idea what you're talking about.
>>9036433
im guessing this is about recognizing bird calls?
theres an app for that bro get with it. Also once youre in the field youll start to recognize them more readily, its not that hard.
Any books to help me deal with my intense fear of the apocalypse?
>>9036369
Yeah may be joking but I know of literally no contemporary thinkers who have tackled.
Stoicism bro
Or maybe the Bible

watch some documentaries like "after we're gone"
How do I begin reading Shakespeare? Where do I start with his writing? What should I know before getting into it? How should I review what I've read?
The last time I read him was 3 years ago in high school and my teacher revealed more in Hamlet than I ever would have been capable for seeing if I read it myself. How do I read the texts so as to not have deep, meaningful prose go over my head?

Just read it, if you're too stupid to understand it go watch Netflix like the rest of your ilk
>>9036218
Historical plays ? tragedies ? any title ? looks like you're too stupid to figure out what a useful answer would be. Also I'm not even OP.
Just read it, and don't look at the annotations every time they have one just because they are there. Try to get the words from context, then if the sentence still doesn't make sense, check it.
It's hard to understand if your reading isn't smooth. Don't be afraid to read scenes a few times in a row. You will get more once you know what happens.
Recommend me some new space opera?
>>9036149
Guardians of Galaxy 2
The Culture series
Night's Dawn Trilogy
Mars Trilogy
>>9036149
the quintessential "modern" Space Opera might be
> James S.A. Corey
>> The Expanse series
However, honestly, for the real Space Opera Feel, I would recommend different Books, since "The Expanse" is basically the most bland and derivative (albeit: Enjoyable! I really love it!) Series.
First:
> Robert Heinlein "Moon is a Harsh Mistress"
after: (care with the titles, I read them and have them in my bookshelf in german!)
> C.J. Cherryh, "Hard Times",
> C.J. Cherryh, "Hellfire"
> C.J. Cherryh "Downbelow Station"
then
> Joe Haldeman "the Forever War"
then
> that Halo Novel, "the Cole Protocol"
that would be a reasonably Epic Space Opera Feel you get from that runthrough.
However, after that you might not enjoy the Expanse series as much, as its Derivative Nature will really be standing out,
so maybe start with the Expanse:
> James S.A. Corey
> Shortstories first: "Drive", "Gods of Risk", "The Churn"
> Leviathan Wakes
> Calibans War
> Abaddons Gate
> Cibola Burn
> Nemesis Games
> Babylons Ashes
there you go! :) Enjoy!
This is intentionally and ironically, "reddit"

At the time it was pretty unique. This is one of those "everyone ripped it off so now it seems lame" things.
