His perspective seems interesting, but personally considered incomplete and lack of internal argument. But it is a good author.

His philosophy cured my depression and autism. Facing the world with confidence is infinitely easier from his perspective. He's kind of my hero desu.

I'm looking for a little Halloween gift for my girlfriend. She's an English lit major, and outside of reading her only real hobby is riding horses. Does anyone know of a well-written novel that is both spooky and horsey?
Emphasis on the "well-written," last time I bought her a shitty book was particularly unpleasant.

Why does everyone on this board seem so bloody miserable? I know it's not because they're "well read", no one here appears to do much reading

Best language to read translation of pic related?
Out of FRA, GER and ENG
Also general translation discussion: Is it always true that the closer related the language is to the original language of the work (e.g. French to Spanish as opposed to German), the more accurate the translation? Or can a less related language add something interesting to the source material?

Not OP, but spanish is one of the most disgusting languages on Earth, why would you want that

The closest language is Portuguese, but just go with French in this case.
