Certainly greatest if the metric is popularity, but not the greatest based on literary merit.

I read one of them when I was a wee lad. It was a good mix of wierd, spooky, and "comfy" I dont remember many details, but looking back at it an adult might enjoy it outside of nostalgia.

>>8786861
Very Scandinavian in that it's spooky and comfy at the same time.

do it if u can get a scholarship but don't pay for a philosophy degree

Get a real degree and a real job then study philosophy with your free time for the rest of your life.

If you can't get a good job you'll never have free time bc you'll be working multiple jobs and Uber-driving for the rest of your life.

this fucking thread AGAIN

i hope you're not implying it isn't the best part of the best book anon

>>8778101
There's already a thread about this

Just bee your self; it'll all work out.

Or just google it. There's plenty of expositions of all three that are going to be more accurate than what can be distilled into a shitpost here.

Think of semi-colons as basically periods. They are used to separate two independent clauses, or sentences that are able to stand on their own. An example of a dependent clause is one that lacks a significant subject or action, such as "Because the dog barks." instead of "The dog barks." However, if you're writing a novel, I highly urge you not to use semi-colons and instead opt for periods. They are usually just used when two sentences are more related than usual or directly play off one another; they're not necessary in the slightest :}

Commas on the other hand are more complicated, but just remember that they do not separate independent clauses that can just be split up into two sentences instead. Usually it's the separation of a dependent and independent clause, or interjects a independent clause between two dependents. Honestly if you do use it wrong in writing, people could care less. And finally the part of a sentence that precedes a colon must be an independent clause while the part after can be either.

the crocodile blood kind of native american literature or the black elk kind?

Where do these keep coming from?

>>8795567
We genocided those pieces of shits so we wouldn't have to deal with their low quality litterature

Exude? Emanate?

>>8795501
Thanks for the response.

I don't think emanate hits the mark though, but exude is closer though. Here is the sentence to give you a better idea of the context. Forgive the douchey topic, it's a graduate skills course paper.

"In a negotiation, both sides are perceiving and transmitting. It is a good negotiator’s objective to actively perceive and discreetly transmit in order to effectively manipulate the outcome."

Basically, I'm trying to say that you need to be conscious of how you are being perceived.

>>8795515
You should really rewrite that cause it sounds fucking stupid and empty
>perceiving what? transmitting what?
>if manipulation depends on transmission, why should one actively perceive?

The Hobbit is more important to the story of LoTR than the Silmarillion. Silmarillion is deep lore, and it's certainly not strictly necessary because it was published after JRR died.

That's a nice edition by the way, I have it.

>>8795456
It's likely not the one I have unfortunately. I'm getting it for a Christmas present from the in-laws but I'm planning to set aside some time in the New Year to read some more. Thanks Anon, I guess I can read my beat up Trilogy book knowing I'm not missing out on much.

>>8795432
It works very well regardless of the order you read them in, perhaps it would make your experience of LotR different if you read Silmarillion first though.

>>8795417
no, but go ahead and define 'fucked in the head'

>>8795426
Mental illness. It seems like every great writer has/had either depression, schizophrenia, bipolar, borderline, etc.

>>8795417
