Nah, I'm comforted by the fact that one day many little gay faggots like you are going to be reading my story and having this feeling.

Comfort yourself with the fact that they'll all be forgotten eventually.

Wow, the next Joyce here. Watch out everyone.

>little girl grows up poor, discovers she's the lost daughter of noblemen/heir to a fortune

I was mad when Cervantes ended La Gitanilla like this

>>9903557
I'd rather she's either poor throughout or rich throughout, personally

>>9903557
That's a pretty common one

Yellow is slang for cowardice and so is chicken.

Literally no better lyricist

Charitable but fair and true.

It must kind of suck to see your story being finished in a way you didn't imagine.

>>9903406
He is obviously not invested enough to bother finishing it anyways. He was a mill author, only writing in the hopes he would get rich with one of his IPs. What motivation does he have now? It certainly isn't going to be artistic vision.

>>9903297
Why did they translate the author's meant but not the title?

I read it in Italian and in English and it was fine, also if it's in your native language I think it's funnier

Perhaps you should try watching A Serbian Film.

I don't know how to keep the image from being sideways

Fuck off retard, you're on the internet. 1984 was 1984, it's a new millennium now. There is no catharsis, no redemption, no overcoming, no happy ending. We will lose forever now.

No one reads anymore.
I read Cicero though. Now that I know Latin I read a lot of Cicero actually.

>>9902854

He's damn fun in Latin. I've read about half of his corpus at this point. Wasn't there some Renaissance epigram about someone spending "three years on Cicero" with some pithy reply? I'd love to find it again but I can't remember it now.

My favorite speech is the Pro Cluentio for how intricate and devious his argumentation is.

In Verrem doesn't get much attention because it's relatively prosaic but as a record of just how shitty a Roman governor could be, it can't be beaten, and it has big "outrage/tragedy porn" value.

De Legibus is really helpful for understanding the Roman state in an idealized form.

It makes me very sad that so much of De Re Publica was lost but the Dream of Scipio is amazing.

I still need to read the Phillippicae. In fact that should really be the next thing I read.

What sort of stuff of his do you like?

Or the other really notable thing about De Leg is the beauty of the prologues, some of the best stuff he wrote.

You're not content if you're feeling hate.

Tolkien is max comfy.

>>9902525
Christopher Morley's Parnassus on Wheels, and The Haunted Bookshop. Also serve as a sad reminder that a strong if goofy American book culture thrived here not all that long ago. Both basically inventory classics in a silly, gushing manner. Can't honestly say why I like them so much, but I do.
Robert Louis Stevenson's Travels on a Donkey and An Inland Voyage are far better than the more famous book that I feel inadequately ripped them off, Three Men in a Boat. I love those two.
Still light but headier are David Garnett's Aspects of Love, Go She Must, and Lady into Fox; Max Beerbohm's Zuleika Dobson; and some of Evelyn Waugh's novellas-- A Handful of Dust, White Mischief, Scoop, The Loved One, etc.
