Pierre because Andrei is a chad. Though Napnap is still the best character despite what Toolstoy makes up :(

hey lit
i just got a student who needs help with english and hired me to tutor them. the student will be doing an english assignment on anne frank, and i was wondering if any of you know a good resource where i can get a plot summary so i can have an idea of the book without actually reading the whole thing...
i remember using sparknotes in high school but i also remember it being incorrect at times.
this is my first real student. i want to be able to give her advice without having to read all the books she will be reading in the year ahead, but because she is entering 6th grade i am afraid i might have to so that i can make sure she doesnt get factual info incorrect... does anyone have experience doing english tutoring?

Looks like you'll be reading it together :)
Students learn best when they teach, and vice versa. Read through it with your student, approach the questions together.

When I did my audible trial, got the cartel by him.
The thing is 24hrs long. Maybe audiobooks are not my thing, but that was a bland bland bland book.

I have the Savages. Not sure if I'd want to read it rather than more Ellroy.

I read this one quite fast. It was fun and the information about the drug cartels and the Condor operation were interesting.

Hey /lit/, what work by Gurdjieff should I read first?

I've read a bit of Beelzebub's Tales. Found it not too difficult assuming you have some esoteric knowledge. Often people suggest Oupensky to start with Gurdjeff but I prefer Evola and Crowley so I'm not too well-versed in either Oupensky or Gurdjeff.

I'ts a pretty wide genre. One of my go to books for primary sources on art is Art in Theory. It's got manifestos, key reviews, essays by critics, etc. It'll walk you through 20th century art, if read chronologically, but you might want something like Gardner's art history text book to accompany it, in case you aren't familiar with a particular movement or artist.
Some of my favorites are the Futurist Manifestos, Surrealist Manifestos, Dada stuff.

Also, this is a really great collection of Surrealist Manifestos, and a nice introduction by Andre Breton, reflecting on the collection and compiling them into one book.

God is a social construct originally intended for social control, but turned out to be too large and unwieldy. Today, we're all standing in His giant shadow. Just like the big lobster.
Also like lobsters, God will not die unless an active effort is made to kill Him.

I still have the old Little, Brown Johnson edition of the poetry and the Harvard Belknap Johnson edition of the Letters and couldn't be happier. The letters are fantastic reading, by the way.
