Nibelungenlied and Thidrekssaga.
Edda also, just mind the Christian stuff.

>>9886288
Both Eddas, but the Poetic Edda is older.

The Icelander's sagas (Njals, Laxdæla, Grettis), the Kings' sagas (Sverris, the St. Olaf sagas), the short tales of Icelanders, the knights' sagas (Brother Robert's translation of Tristan),

>>9887286
It is pretty funny that the Nibelungenlied mythologizes characters who were themselves Christians in real life.

Her prose is more aesthetic than Proust's.

>>9886274
That's a good observation. Many here tend to think that Joyce overconcerned her but this is untrue. With Proust she was absolutely spellbound, however, and depressed that after him any fiction she produced would be deemed superfluous. That said, Dalloway is still a great book.

God is perfect and beauty is obviously one of the attributes He must be complete in so yes there is an objective basis for beauty.

All the "objective" systems of beauty that I've come across are either uselessly nebulous or uselessly banal. The one you linked is the former.

Admittedly I struggled to come up with the more obvious literary suggestions (5, 10(a), (b)), because it's really down to practice. If you don't make notes as you read any novel then it will be harder to get anywhere. Just read and think about what you are reading. The other suggestions will encourage good thought processes which are essential.

i remember having mental images of characters and imagining them while reading when I was a kid but I certainly don't do it now so I don't think you need to worry about the first one.

Write little notes on a pad while reading. Your reading comprehension will skyrocket.

>>9885952
What should the notes be about

>>9885900
The Recognitions. Mordant, depressive, treatise on the futility of ambitious creation and despairing over any place existing for it in society.
