No, that would be me.

Didion doesn't qualify as a poet. Some dank essays though.
Also that's a really fucking stupid question. All you'll get is "famous but overrated" responses, when the worst poet nobody knows because it's not like they got published. They're insignificant.

A nine year old could read it. You're good jump right in.

Start with the Greeks

>>8727315
depends how much you want to get out of it. Realistically you need to understand Kant and the Greeks very well, like reading the republic and the metaphysics aren't gonna cut it. In addition Spinoza and Leibniz would help. If you want to read this for vanity's sake just watch Sadler's videos without anything else.

I understand why people would rip on King, but why are Tart, Gaiman, and Brown bad?

That was above average height back then.

Buy a business with a development loan. Google online for businesses for sale. In my area there is a general store + some rental condos above the store for 500k, there is a healthy vending machine company for 6k, there is a small cleaning company w/ employees for 25k.

Why work for someone else.

I'm working as an English teacher in Taiwan right now, I enjoy it a lot and teaching is pretty nice but it sucks up a lot of time to write up lessons every day not to mention marking and stuff, though you get lots of holidays and the pay is good for the area.

I'm not sure of a long term plan though, I don't think I'll stay here forever, or if I do I'd like to gain experience to get something a bit more cushy.

I've had a dream about buying some land in the USA and building a solar farm but idk how viable that is, might consider doing what >>8727122
mentioned and purchasing a company or trying for a startup.

Already read it, but it's worth a reread. Thanks!

i usually just don't even fuck with translations, unless they're generally acclaimed

I only read books in the original language, granted I know it(Which is pretty rare since I only know 3 language fluently.)

The problem is that I don't speak Russian but I really want to read Russian literature. I am already learning Mandarin and Classical Chinese and I was planning to learn French after that so I don't know if I'll ever get to learn Russian... Fuck. Why do I have to be so autistic?

Seriously, how can anyone even compete? and I mean ANYONE, not just writers.
Joyce is fucking ridiculous, is absurd, his power level goes beyond everyone and everything.
Im not able of articulate how blown away I got after The Sirens and everything that goes after.
He literally went beyond music and thats just one little part of the book.
And then he goes and drops Finnegans Wake like if it wasnt enough with this.
Is Joyce the ultimate genius? the endgame of humanity, consciousness and being?
Ulysses and Finnegans Wake are what the internet was supposed to be but failed.
They are a protean mirror to the self, everything beyond and all the shapes time can give to it.
How do you think being inside Joyce's head was like?

stop worrying if you are one

You blundering oaf! Do you know English at all? No? I have been in over 200 delegations and tea parties. It's because of philistines like you that the English language is being ruined! Go back to school and retake all the English courses they offered you. Oaf.

that's a script you mongoloid and if we speak about true art in the European sense the director will of course write it himself/detail it after he found new expression in his shots. Why talk about some shitty Hollywood script on /lit/? Why call it a "play"? Do you think you're Charlie Kaufmann? Fucking loser.

It all comes down to personal preference.

I don't even have a favourite book.
