He's right, though. Early HP is middle-grade, ASOIAF is adult. Just because it's bad doesn't mean it's YA. YA is characterized by specific tropes and a specific reading level, and ASOIAF isn't.

Anybody know of any positive white literature written by whites for other white people?

I've recently become aware of my white identity and I'm looking to open my mind up to unheard and marginalized perspectives

Lazy and out-of-touch establishment opinions on whiteness from writers of immense privilege (e.g. Ta-Nehisi Coates, Theodore W. Allen, James Baldwin) are of zero interest to me

I'm looking for authentic white voices speaking truth to power, not sniveling brown resentment

Here's a selection of the white heroes I can't stop reading, re-reading, and shedding tears to based on their love of whiteness, love of the white race, and a sense rationality and logic which just isn't found in nonwhites and in women.

Hitler. Mein Kampf is one of his greatest works, where he explains how Jews are trying to destroy whiteness
Breivik. His Manifesto is his magnum opus. Again, Jews.
McDonald. His Culture of Critique Series -- arguably the most important study in recent centuries -- explains how Jews are trying to destroy whiteness and masculinity through subversion.

These are all written with the love of the white man in his heart. Trying to communicate redpilled truth to people who are being subverted. Our time isn't over, though, and with the help of Lord Kek's meme magic and spreading the word of the above authors, we shall once again conquer the inferiors. Deus Vult

What is racist about affirming one's identity?

Why does the thought of strong and happy white people bother you?

Instead of trying to pull down others to your mediocrity, you should improve yourself

Good luck on your journey!

Thank you for the response, fellow white, but these titles are a bit obvious. Are you new to /lit/? It sounds like I can recommend you more titles than you can recommend me

Translation

Is it worth sticking with this book? I'm about a third of the way in and kind of frustrated. Maybe because I'm not that well read, I'm having to stop and look up 5-10 unknown words per page not to mention all the Spanish I'm translating. Is it worth the struggle?

>>10032345
Don't translate the spanish its not really key to the novel. If you must read it afterwards so you don't break your flow and use context clues to understand what is happening.

There is a lot less spanish as time goes on too. Also you will get through it! Keep pushing and the language will become second nature eventually.

ah, blood meridian, monsieur? that novel is the sark and chaparral of literature, the filament whereon rode the remuda of highbrow, corraled out of some destitute hacienda upon the arroya, quirting and splurting with main and with pyrolatrous coagulate of lobated grandiloquence. our eyes rode over the pages, monsieur, of that slatribed azotea like argonauts of suttee, juzgados of swole, bights and systoles of walleyed and tyrolean and carbolic and tectite and scurvid and querent and creosote and scapular malpais and shellalagh. we scalped, monsieur, the gantlet of its esker and led our naked bodies into the rebozos of its mennonite and siliceous fauna, wallowing in the jasper and the carnelian like archimandrites, teamsters, combers of cassinette scoria, centroids of holothurian chancre, with pizzles of enfiladed indigo panic grass in the saltbush of our vigas, true commodores of the written page, rebuses, monsieur, we were the mygale spiders too and the devonian and debouched pulque that settled on the frizzen studebakers, listening the wolves howling in the desert while we saw the judge rise out of a thicket of corbelled arches, whinstone, cairn, cholla, lemurs, femurs, leantos, moonblanched nacre, uncottered fistulas of groaning osnaburg and kelp, isomers of fluepipe and halms awap of griddle, guisado, pelancillo.

I'm dissagreeing with my professor regarding the interpretation of this poem by William Blake.

She insists on a Marxist interpretation, saying that the angel is just a manifestion of the capitalist ideology telling the child not to disturb the status quo. (A bit of a shallow interpretation, in my opinion).

Meanwhile, my reading of it was more existential. We are all born into lives filled with meaningless suffering, just as the chimney sweeper is, but if we go about our duties with a sense of purpose, we will be happy. Sisyphus and all that jazz.

Obviously I'm shortening both of our arguments and leaving ou many nuances, but I don't have the time for that.

Who is right?

Ibsen and Hamsun. That's it. Knausgaard's books are too long and boring for me to tell you whether or not he's good.

Heimskringla. It was written by an Icelander but it's about Norwegian kings.

>>10031247
Nothing dies, because everything is just a soup of constant cause-and-effect. There is no self to die in the first place. The collection of phenomena we call 'the self' moves on to a new body but the unity of that self is ultimately illusory
