Why does this man get memed on so hard? Nobody does characters as well as him
Is it just because people like the goofy cartoon pranksters that Pynchon writes over realistic people?

He's a liberal and hence out enemy.
He's askin to those who browse Reddit whereas we're more into Schopenhauer (On Women especially) and anti-egalitarian writers.

Is he liberal? He makes feminists lose their minds because he writes actually realistic (read: flawed) females

I have a 600 page manifesto. They neatly divided into chapters, they can be published separately really.
I also have some excellent pieces on Pepe and Lord Kek and the mythology that surrounds them.
Will edit them and pass them through to you

How old is Hamlet? In Yoriks scene it is implied that he is thirty, but he certainly acts younger. Burbage apparently played him when he was thirty, so maybe the role was adjusted to his age, but what about first quarto version? I don't know it, but It's the oldest, the shortest, is that age part still present?

What do you mean he acts younger?
He's a medieval Prince, what maturity standard are you measuring him by?
Thirty seems fine to me

Well, when his old hamlet died his brother took the throne instead of his fully grown son.

Denmark was an electoral monarchy, Claudius was able to garner more votes with the elite (who he likely plotted with)

For 5 years you have memed me to despise the books I once loved and "start with the Greeks." Well I gave it a try. Incoherent babble. Didn't make it past the first page of De Categoriae.

Maybe. Probably. But at least I won't waste another day of my life in this cloaca of forum, reading shite that you won't even admit makes you want to skull yourself. Enjoy your stay, dickwads. I'm free.

Currently reading Bulfinch, then Hamilton. After these, what order would you recommend?
Aenid
Metamorphosis
Divine Comedy
Paradise Lost
Illiad
Oddesy

Both are worthless as reading material. Bullfinch exists to catalogue mythological references for those who wouldn't have understood them and want to. It's something to be used in place of the actual texts themselves.
But in modern society it's infinitely easy to get a copy of Ovid's Metamorphoses, or some of the Norse Eddas, so you'd be better off doing that than getting them through a middleman.
>>
>>8811857
Thanks for the reply. I'm starting with only a layman's knowledge so I figured an intro text wouldn't hurt. I'll get a copy of Ovid and work my way through it next.
>>
>>8811826
Surely this is obvious?
Illiad
Odyssey
Aeneid
Metamorphosis
Divine Comedy
Paradise Lost

As I Lay Dying
Is there any interesting literature on sport or fitness, even weightlifting? Ever since becoming a NEET a year ago, I ceased any physical activity other than sex -- which is quickly becoming scarce. I've thought about returning to my shallow masturbatory body worship. Inb4 Nietzsche. I've read him and it did well in turning me into an arsehole, albeit a slack one -- one you might expect to devolve into a prolapse.

>[French Poet Gerard de] Nerval had a pet lobster, which he walked at the end of a blue silk ribbon in the Palais Royal in Paris. According to Théophile Gautier, Nerval said:
>"Why should a lobster be any more ridiculous than a dog? ...or a cat, or a gazelle, or a lion, or any other animal that one chooses to take for a walk? I have a liking for lobsters. They are peaceful, serious creatures. They know the secrets of the sea, they don't bark, and they don't gnaw upon one's monadic privacy like dogs do. And Goethe had an aversion to dogs, and he wasn't mad."

We get rec request threads fairly regularly and it's usually the same books that get mentioned so I was thinking it would be a worthwhile endeavour to make a comprehensive chart of /lit/-approved homo works.
I should mention that being unless you're happy for it to be made on MS Paint, someone other than me is gonna have to put it together,
So some things to think about to get the ball rolling:
>Just male homo masterrace? Lez lit too? Or should we open it up to anything LGBT-related?
>Novels, or plays and poetry too? Should we include non-fiction?
>how homo is homo enough? Should works with incidental homo be considered or should it be central to the work's themes?
>what info should be on the chart? Just cover, title, author? Should each entry have a short sentence describing plot/theme/what form the homo takes?
And of course you can start throwing out suggestions if you want.
