Archived threads in /lit/ - Literature - 2071. page

Bit of both I guess.

its good as f*** but /lit/ would never admit it since it's not on the meme list. If you look around long enough you'll see it's always the same "pre-approved" books being discussed here.

I'miei just a bit intimidated by it. I hope it's not something sorted of unreadable experimental clusterfuck kinda like Finnegan's Wakefield.

I don't know, mang, but if you like annotations I'd like to know your opinion on this one site (obnoxiously titled genius.com) regarding public domain texts. Example:

https://genius.com/James-joyce-ulysses-chap-1-telemachus-annotated

Don't know the answer to your question, but
>the little numbers next to the sentences with annotations in the back of the book or the bottom of the page?

They're called end notes if at the back of the book, footnotes of at the bottom if the page.

You also really don't need to bump your threads nearly that often. This is a very slow board.

Go on Amazon and read the sample pages. You'll see if it has annotations or not.

Access to technology does not equate willingness to learn. A web page every 6 seconds means on page a year isn't fucking tripe. "Gutenberg's generation" read to escape the humdrum-ities of their lives as his kids played games to escape theirs.

I hate old people. I hate young people too, but at least young people aren't responsible for having raised the old people they hate. Old people have no excuse, they literally bred the young people and gave them all their ideals. Don't like the way they turned out? That's on you, old fucks, not the young people.

Textbooks for 5th - 13th grade. If you're done with one grade, do the next one.

Also, consume a lot of german media. Read german books (start with kids/YA), movies, video games etc.

Wenn du ein harter bist, dann kannst du einfach alle Bücher auf Deutsch lesen. Nach und nach lernst du die Sprache, Wörter die du nicht kennst einfach am Pc suchen und anhören.
Für Muschis lies n Buch welches du schon auf englisch gelesen hast.

I addition to what's already been said. Try looking for German exchange students or expats in your town.

Reviewing everything you learned and talking to a native once a week will really help you.

you can dig out his body and get into him

like literally into his biopucci or into his works?

I bought a collection of his poems but they were in english and well... they're shit.

IDK why I wanted translated poetry when it kind of defeats the whole point.

He meant he was a crypto-Muslim, the Semitic fuck.

Esau was way better than Ishmael anyway. Fucking hack.

>>8980780
>Ish"male"

He was being sexist scum.

>>8980780

I read the first book, was a big fan. Has anyone read the others? I live in the middle of nowhere so need to order books (which is expensive and takes time), need to know if it's worth reading the others or if they go down in quality. Anyone finished 'My Struggle' and have any feedback?

I'm all over the place with how I hold them but usually holding both ends open while it sits on my belly while I read in bed.
Stop sweating on your book pages, wipe your hands lol

>>8980708
It might make sense if it was moisture related. I live in a fairly humid environment

>>8980718
I've never had this happen with my books OP. I think it must be humidity, I live in a really dry climate.

My problem is actually with how fucking rounded the spine gets. Even when I try to be cognizant of how wide I open books by the time I'm done the spine has rounded.

I usually just donate them to second-hand bookstores if I don't have a friend I'm sure would be interested

>>8980646
What caused you to lose interest?

Just give up. You're no good.
