>which greeks talk about child-rearing?
Plato. But no, don't start with the Greeks for this.

hate to say it but you have to homeschool them to avoid them becoming liberal degenerates

>>8902874
Why not? Or is it just the oiled up pederast meme?

>>8902880
This is interesting. Do you think the benefits of homeschooling outweigh the social interaction of being with kids ones own age?

I do agree though, school is a glorified babysitter with antiquated methods of pedagogy. Though I'm curious to know what kind of curriculum lit would make for a child from grades 1-12

there's definitely a learning curve in the first few chapters of whatever Faulkner you read, but once you learn how to approach him it's more than rewarding.
just don't be that guy that goes into TS&TF blind and starts a Faulkner shitposting thread because you thought you were cool enough to go in dry

Virginia Woolf

play dark souls 3 and read up on the lore

the first step is to never make a 4chan thread asking about it

to claim to have read something, you don't need much; sometimes, if you're lucky, you don't even need to know the title. i hope this helps.

Both. Describe situations where he's content and then situations where he wants to escape. Life is never black and white.

I was going to throw conflict into both ideas. A subplot I wanted to throw in both versions is him having feelings for a student of his that resembles his old lover. I want the book to have the feel of faustus/gatsby/lolita/lovecraft

>>8902448
>Is it better for him to loathe being a family man or have gotten comfortable in this role.

I think it would be best to focus on fleshing out this

>I've been going back and forth with both ideas but need to settle.

as part of the book, have the character experience and express his thought processes on the difficulties and pros and cons of choosing between the life's.

If you are then asking, which is the better ending route, you can have him decide not to kill his family, but then his first love ends up killing him or something. Or, he does do his family, and then it either ends him getting caught, or escaping, and then more novel end can be him on the run with his old girlfriend, in which you can see if they stay together or things get weird and fade after he actually does it, or he doesnt kill his family and the book ends and doesnt hear from or about his first love again,

Blood Meridian and Gravity's Rainbow desu, though for entirely different reasons of course

Lonesome Dove is great, but long.
I'm debating whether I should start the next book in the series, I've heard they come off as screenplays and aren't as powerful as LD.
can anyone give me their opinion?

Catcher in the Rye

Dostoevsky in general is great for this. Look into Crime and Punishment.
