What do you think of the anglicization of the culture ?
I'm Italian and I'm noticing more and more the anglicization of my language: English terms are preferred to those in Italian and if one tries to defend its own culture is accused of narrow-mindedness.
I'm not against to the Americans, Brits, ecc. Trust me. I just don't understand this massive anglicization.
I have always believed that there are not slavery without slaves, and Italians are a people who submits to everything and everyone and I recognize that English is a very important and widely used language ... but I wonder just a little bit of love for their culture, that's all .

I think that it is, regarding the evolution of language, as natural as it is artificial. However, you can make the difference by not using anglicisms in your daily speech.

Chapter 2.
He walks to the next town over and gets recruited into the Bulgarian army by two dudes at a tavern who arrest him. His height has something to do with it. Slightly confuzzled but okay

He gets caught taking a walk by the Bulgarian army. They tell him he can either take a musketball swift to the dome or RUN THE MOTHERFUCKIN' GAUNTLET. ohshitnigger

Depends what you're in the mood for. Want a deep, serious book? Go for the Republic. Want an epic fantasy story? Go for Homer. Want great, poetic stories? Read EAP.
>>
>>8329625
Anything at the moment, do you have any recommendations on any other books ?
Fuck man I just read this and it's amazing.
There's so much drama between what each character wants. The language is beautiful. It speaks to the artist in me.
What else will I like?

You will probably like other works of the same author. Alternatively, you might like similar works by other authors.

I scammed a kid out of a nickel. Gave him two pennies and said that it's worth more than that nickel in his hands, the fool accepted the trade. Any good books for silver-tongued devils like myself?

Can we get a St. John's thread going?
I'll be attending the school in about a month and would love to hear from some past/current/prospective johnnies.
Anything I should be reading this summer to prepare besides the illiad and ancient greek textbook?
Also, anything to keep in mind as a "mature" student? I'm in my early twenties, and I'm a little concerned about my age being an issue. I will be living off campus, and plan on making friends with other older students/grad students if I can.

Check out the school's journal, the SJC Review:
http://www.sjc.edu/blog/st-johns-review/
Very good and interesting stuff on all sorts of topics and authors. Take a look at one or two of the earliest and then maybe the most recent one at least.

This is something I question myself every time.
I believe people think that because third person is obviously more complex, but first person can be hella comfy

I didn't like this book as a kid. Was I just a pleb or is it as pointless and pretentious as I initially believed?

It's a great book. It has a pretty clear 'point' and I have a feeling you don't really know what the word 'pretentious' means.

I tried reading Everything is Illuminated and fucking hated his prose.
I've heard from multiple people that his only worthwhile work is his vegan manifesto book.
