>how English classes can be reformed to improve Common Core

1. Move your family to a rich white town in New Hampshire with vacation homes that are worth 100k a year in property taxes.
2. Make sure testing is in 85th percentile or above
3. Hear about common core once or twice a year because test scores are high with or without teaching to a test.
4. Get your kids a better education while not even worrying about standardized testing.

No, it's a kid book and your time should be worth a lot more. Even just for shallow entertainment there are literally thousands of better options.

>>8989742
i already read kid book I enjoyed (the OZ books are pretty entertaining). I dont know, i'm searching for some light readings

>>8989718
It's still enjoyable as an adult, the series is interesting and funny. No, they're not "high literature" or whatever, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth your time

Read Nietzsche.

I am not talking about the books. I think you should actually examine his corpse.

Try something by a third world writer...

Maybe the Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño?

The Stranger within my gate,
He may be true or kind,
But he does not talk my talk--
I cannot feel his mind.
I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,
But not the soul behind.

The men of my own stock,
They may do ill or well,
But they tell the lies I am wanted to,
They are used to the lies I tell;
And we do not need interpreters
When we go to buy or sell.

The Stranger within my gates,
He may be evil or good,
But I cannot tell what powers control--
What reasons sway his mood;
Nor when the Gods of his far-off land
Shall repossess his blood.

The men of my own stock,
Bitter bad they may be,
But, at least, they hear the things I hear,
And see the things I see;
And whatever I think of them and their likes
They think of the likes of me.

This was my father's belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

Why not just buy the bantham paperback.

It's more portable, has a better cover, is extremely cheap (I got mine for $4 after shipping) and most importantly is completely corrected.

>>8989180
Buying another copy is always an option and not what I am out to solve. This is a widely available edition which may be more of a valid option than it gets credit for in its corrected edition. Or it could be universally damnable. I'd like the concrete evidence for the latter if possible, but so far don't see it.

Seriously though, why do almost all LNs have these long as fuck, nonsensical titles?

>>8989186
Because with the heaps of LNs out there, the title needs to be interesting for the LN to be even opened. Of course, with nips having no soul or shame, it came to this.
