Is lost time really seen as difficult?
I've read swann's way and a bit of budding grove but I gave up since it's so damn long, not because it was difficult.

It's not even difficult you dingus, it's long-winded, that's why people approach it with caution. And yeah, it is fucking worth it, but it's more of an adjusting of your own mind, Proust will write in the same style for all seven volumes.

didn't meant hard that way. Sorry my english is not perfect. I was talking bout the style but thank you

Lol how was Bukowski actually good

>>8844720
I thought he was really honest, and he was like a magician in how well he transported me to the harshness of LA in the 20s, a place and time by all rights I shouldn't feel like I know anything about but do because of him

Well because, on his deathbed, Mr. Milton said, and I'm paraphrasing here, its been a while since I've read the transcript, "I'm an atheist and Satan is the protagonist of Paradise Lost."

No serious scholar thinks Milton was an atheist.
The romantics were extremely fond of Milton and they were the first ones to cast Satan as a romantic hero.
As for who the protagonist is, obviously it's up for debate, but I can tell you Milton would have probably said Adam.

>>8844466
Really? In the entire library of world literature, there isn't any book worthy of learning by heart, besides the bible?

(Not that I disagree with you necessarily, it's a genuine question, not rhetorical).
