What are /lit/'s thoughts on William Blake?
Was he insane, or a true visionary?
What are his best works to start with?
This is probably all you need to start with, for secondary reading check out Fearful Symmetry by Northrop Frye
Another gay poet.

Is there any point to even reading great literature if you live in an ugly American suburb?
>>8943749
escapism?
Have a barbecue pool party and try not to think about it.
>>8943749
You move to the suburbs for your wife and kids and you secretly hate it there but it's better for their education and it's easier than fighting with your wife about moving.
Just give yourself your own study/office/library to escape to.
is this the first shounen manga ever?
also, lotr discussion i guesswhy does tolkien describes the wind direction?
tolkien talks about nature so much because its really fucking important and cool. if you didnt have computers and artificial heat and had to get all your food from the woods you'd care about the wind direction too
>>8943650
you're probably right, every time hes describing the nature i feel it kinda hard to follow
>>8943641
>why does he describe the wind direction?
Post a passage that does this. Knowing tolkien, it is probably done so in a manner that make sense and is not obtrusive. One of his underrated strengths was being a master of immersion.
>>8943657
>i feel it kinda hard to follow
Never found this in my experience desu, and this is coming from someone who found passages in Blood Meridian semi hard to follow.

Are these two pleb-tier or are they the best Russian translators we have? I'm halfway through their version of Anna Kerenina and I really enjoy how fluid the diction feels. But I was wondering if there were any better translators for when I move on to Brothers Karamazov or W&P.
>>8943410
they dont butcher tolstoy that badly but read mcduff or avsey for dostoevsky or the revised garnett (mcreynolds)
>>8943410
Their Dostoyevsky doesn't hold a candle to other translations, but I hear their C&P is ok.
Their Master and Margarita is atrocious.
Their Tolstoy is readable
>>8943424
Which Dostoyevsky versions did you read, anon? What exactly do you feel they're missing that other translations have?
Someone told me about this forum, apparently I've frustrated you guys a lot in some way? That's kinda funny. I'm Savannah Brown and I've been doing Youtube for seven years now and I feel quite pleased about how successful I've become. I've been vaguely aware of /lit/ through a few other poets and content creators I know and it was one of them who told me (kinda drunkenly actually) that for whatever reason I get discussed here by you guys. Anyway, I guess this is a half-hearted sort of Ask Me Anything. Not done this before but go ahead.
