How do I do the dialectic?

It's just a jump to the left, and then a step to the right. Put your hands on your hips; and bend your knees in tight. But it's the pelvic thrust! That really drives you in-sa-a-a-a-a-ane! Let's do THE DIALECTIC again!

Yesterday when I started to read Moby-Dick for the first time it actually made me feel very depressed to some extent, and because of that I had to drop. What an inexact language your English is. So many meanings and also it is very dependent on a context. I feel really giddy now. Even Dorian Gray seemed to me way better in Russian than in its original tongue. Do you have any advice as to how to improve my perception of the language in order to read with pleasure, not sweating over it. And I fucking swear that Russian written texts are way much easier to follow.

Moby-Dick isn't exactly an easy book to read, even for native English speakers. Start with something easier and work your way up. From your post your English seems to be pretty good.

English is hard to understand mainly due to its primitive grammar structure.

some erotic fictionist who deals in scat fetish

Is this someone who writes shit scat fetish erotica and then at public readings just shoves a banana up his ass and throws it at the audience?
Could do without that in the literary world, to be quite honest, family.

I'm no lover of English literature, but this tragedy is amazing.
Much of the tragedy makes great quote material, indeed:
>O, sir, the opinion of wisdom is a foul tetter that runs all over a man's body: if simplicity direct us to have no evil, it directs us to a happy being; for the subtlest folly proceeds from the subtlest wisdom: let me be simply honest...

Have you ever gotten a book custom printed?
The services I've found so far (at least in my country, might have to order internationally) are aimed at authors looking to get their shit printed.
All I want is a custom version of a public domain book that will fit in my shirt pocket.
Has anyone made any positive experiences with any service?

That's the point though, I'm not the author.
I want my own little red book equivalent of Also sprach Zarathustra, just for the sake of it tbqh.
