Hopefully. The chart in OP is the chart I'm trying to replace.
>>8152168
Yeah, I know about the wikia, will be using it as a general guideline for the chart. I'm trying to figure out if the chart should just be divided by style/movement or be a flowchart. Which would you recommend?

This is the best sci-fi if there was a sticky for sci fi this would be the pic. Fuck he did a good job on this book for its day.

The novel is a fascist piece of shit.

I actually like him more nowadays, since he started writing prose and became a half-mad hermit. Voice of the Fire/Providence > Watchmen/V for Vendetta. And hopefully Jerusalem will be the best yet, though I dunno what he's on about with that cover.

the lost girls is my favorite comic of all time. shit had me in stitches. especially the family that all fucked each other and had the dog humping a leg while they were running train lmao

All literature is, in fact, literal magic.

Studied The Whitsun Weddings in high school. Didn't like all of it but some of them were really good and I still think about them sometimes.

>Why did he think adding meant increase? To me it was dilution

Why do people think he's racist?

I think I remember studying 'Toads' and 'Toads Revisited' in Sixth Form. They were okay. Very political though, which I didn't like so much.

You got memed

Yes. He's fantastic.
Lots of people criticize him for being gloomy but they are filthy optimists.

I'm not usually one of the ">reading translations" people but I could never find English translations of Baudelaire that were half-decent. If you have any French knowledge whatsoever, I'd recommend reading the English translations of his poems side-by-side with the original French.

Read it in French or don't read it at all.

You should read the Odyssey before any other western book, actually.

>>8151051
Not before the Iliad though.
>>8151038
I read The Odyssey immediately before Ulysses and it let me catch some references, but I didn't find that it added much to my experience overall.

>>8151066
Should I read Illiad first or?

Mind and Nature: A Necessary Unity by Gregory Bateson

You'll finish a section not knowing that such detailed and expansive thoughts were even possible, like reading some left over tome from an advanced alien race.

He describes the very process of thinking and how it recursively spirals into itself as you compare your knowlege base with new percepts, abduct the schema from your old knowlege and apply it to the new.

Talks about ecology, evolution, psychology, math, anthropology, cybernetics, philosophy, etc.

No it doesn't. Get out.

Harry Potter is not even a good example of a good children's book.

Decadent through what means? Decadent through the means of self-pleasure, or through the means of benefiting all of society?

Requiring less resources is more sustainable and beneficial when compared to useless consumption and wasteful consumption.

I see shelves like that as being the accumulation of like a decade of the life of a truly avid reader, and that's probably being generous.
