He was the best friend of modernism, without him the movement wouldn't have been as good/successful as it was. He wasn't the best writer though. Good, but not the best.

Anybody else starting with the Greeks here?

I have started reading "A brief history of ancient Greece" and it's been a lot of fun thus far.

How's your progress of reading the Greeks going?

On book 3 of the Republic, been really enjoying it so far....

Haven't gone into reading a lot of history or poetry, etc. (Childhood was filled with self interest for Greece so I read a lot of shit when I was younger and have a general idea of its history)

have Odyssey and Iliad on the way... (reading order a bit fucked I know, but again, I have a gist of what happens in both stories..)

Sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming though, I suggest making time for doing nothing and maybe some meditation.

Otherwise it's like perpetually eating without ever taking a shit.

If I upload my 500k word memoir to wikipedia despite having achieved nothing that would otherwise warrant such a page / article being created, are the moderators likely to ban me or remove the page?

It's taken me a very long time to write and the entire text is filled with hyperlinks to things like songs mentioned, photographs of myself, and so on. I don't want to waste my time here.

Thank you.

So what is the point of him finishing the books any more?

Who will want to wander through thousands of pages of description of food, nipples and endless meanderings like Quentyn or Aegon when they can just watch the show and get to the point in a much more streamlined story? Particularly that all the main plot twists will be in the open after the show and Martin is one of those writers that without the plot twists you lose 90% of the reason to keep going through all the bad writing.

Why should he even bother finishing those books?

Season 6 had basically NOTHING happen. The show did a really good job of feeding the normie masses filler and making it seem substantial, but they didn't give us anything new really and discounting developments which are fundamentally at odds with the plot present in the book.

Nice try faggot, I can't wait to read WoW and am so glad I didn't get spoilered by HBO's shitshow.

>>8211685

he's lazy as fuck and his central themes havent changed much: war is horrible and the old times were pretty fucked up

that being said I can't stand emilia clarke's acting , so I haven't watched GOT since mid season 4, and probabbly wont catch up on GOT until the novels come out

unless he dies before ADOS comes out desu

If you could reveal your thoughts and reasoning behind the choices, as this is a discussion board, that would be preferable.

At any rate, the choice of picture is admirable. Sun-bronzed thighs, calves and feet are divine.

What's the best way to learn more about poetry? I love a good poem but my critical understanding never evolves beyond "ooh, that's pretty". Id like to better understand how poems are structured and how different elements are weaves together in a given piece.
So, what are the best books or websites devoted to the study of poetry?
