which book you read had the biggest share of foreign language insertions?

To me it is the essais of montaigne. there are hardly any essays there without any herodotus, lucretius, livy, horace, seneca, plato, homer or cicero.

You can only know that if you are intelligent enough.

Then you read, and i you found what you read stupid as fuck, then that book is bad. That's why books like Hunter Games and 50 shades of Grey are so popular, because the majority of people are retarded.

Why the fuck does he constantly quote in French and even Latin, yet the Greeks he translates.

Because Greek was higher-level education than French and Latin.
>>
>>8599930

Sadly for us, the average 'good' education in the olden days left its students at least semi-fluent in most European languages of worth (French/German/Latin/English/etc).

Since the turn of the 20th century, societies abandoned 'classical' education in favour of education with a more utilitarian nature/endgame.

Because he probably couldn't into greek, nor was it common for westerners to into greek during that time.

>>8599848
Are they 'Bobby', a tool manufacturer?

Or is the person addressing a person called Bobby?

If you mean the latter, you need a comma before 'Bobby'.

Er i all hovudsak for europeisk, introvert, keisam og ganske blank hovudperson, som jo er heile innehaldet i boka.

Anbefalar at du heller les Synnove Solbakken eller Markens Grode, då desse båe peikar tilbake på den norske nasjonalromantiske tradisjon (då i sær Bjornson) heller enn mot europeisk moderne litteratur.

>Have 200 or so pages left of this bad boy

I've enjoyed it a lot, only really hated Orin's chapters since I found them pretty boring but loved how Wallace basically described the ins and outs of living at the ETA with Hal and co. Very and I hate this word but the whole atmosphere was cozy.

Don's chapters are also fantastically written, I just finished reading the one where he talks about his father's addiction to the TV show MASH. Seems odd now that people can have an obsession with a TV show like that, build fandoms, wikis and no one would bat an eye. I think Wallace was alluding to that sort of thing.
