Now guess.

I woke up at a big bowl of cereal, ate a work, got 7 then went to dressed.

Each and everyone made me hate literature so much that I've never read a non-textbook after that.

Tell me /lit/; after being raped by shitty books could I ever enjoy reading a book again?

Did you read Anti-Oedipus already?

I personally had a better time with Lacan (and Zizek) and Jung than that book -- don't torture yourself

I've slugged my way through most of A-O. Still working on it from time to time. I just finished Chaosmosis, which I think is amazing.

What Lacan do you recommend? I've worked through some of Ecris. I literally can't bring myself to read Zizek. Every time I pick up one of his books I just end up thinking "Ug, this again?"

you have to go back

I listen to fantasy and sci-fi books on my commute to work and daily walks. I really liked the Last Wish. Blood of Elves I'm not done with, but it's decent.

Never played any Witcher games, and I know audiobooks are probably heretical on this board, but honestly I tend to prefer listening to books instead of music sometimes. Especially when you're sitting in traffic. I still read too, but usually higher-brow stuff or nonfiction.

I don't play video games.
Besides that's a retarded opinion, the books came before the games and were wildly successful in Poland before anyone even thought of translating them.
You could send most posters here to >>>/tv/ by that logic.

poor losers probably plucked up the courage to post one picture on social media just to be turned into a derogatory meme.

I don't feel apathy, but my internet addiction/ADHD behavior keeps me from reading a lot. I am thinking that I might have to cut myself from the internet for some time. I have become competely addicted to the feeling that there is always "someone" with me, be it TV, skype, youtube videos, music. I need to readjust myself to silence again. Used to be able to read for whole days.

maximum disrespect

>Making fun of a man who can barely say five words in English without stumbling or using a malapropism for not getting a highly colloquial word gag in a loud environment.

Not even a Zizek-aboo, but holy fuck is this dumb shit.

That comic isn't funny.

Didn't have any Babe the Big Blue Ox pictures handy, sorry friend.

why

The diary of Anne Frank is the only thing that comes to mind.
You'll not learn "how they think, how they act" from books written by old men.

Tess of the d'Urbervilles

I found it very funny and very charming, quite different to Homer and Virgil. There's a well-rounded humanity in the Metamorphoses that's you don't get in those two. It's also the most influential work in the history of western literature (literally *ALL* of the Greco-Roman mythology referenced from Medieval times on was taken from Ovid).

What were your favourite stories? Some of mine were Io, Procne and Philomela and the Centauromachy. The latter is one of the funniest things I've ever read.

dude im a cockroche lmao!

>>8082574
I definitely agree re charming. I think believe it's commonly held that Bill loved Ovid and uses the Metamorphoses for most myths, which is pretty obvious between Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

I particularly like Pyramus and Thisbe, everything Orpheus , and Ulysseus and Ajax's speeches for Achille's arms.

Why did you like the Centauromachy? I didn't really appreciate it. Maybe it wasn't a great translation.

Hegel is the best. I've never read anything by him but he's my favorite philosopher.

Believe me, I'm well aware of how unlikely it is I'll actually get an answer, but I might as well try.

Uncharted 4

Allan Quatermain was a big influence on the Indiana Jones Character if I remember correctly

Also, I rec A.C. Doyles' The Lost World.

>>8082357
That's what inspired my interest!
Seriously though, I've read nothing but depressing novels this year an I need something light to indulge in.

>>8082349
where are your spoiler tags

That's absolute bullshit my friend

Now Hamlet, that dude was pretending

>>8082349
I like Henry Jaffa's essay on Lear found in Bloom's Shakespeare's Politics. He examines the first scene and shows why King Lear is the great king and thus the greatest tragic character in shakespeare as well as what he was thinking to do and why he divided the kingdom.

>>8082246
I don't know what you mean by "art" here, Architecture, Literature, painting?
It changes the question quite a lot in my view.

If by art you mean visual arts and if you take religiousity as life denying, then yes.

>>8082260
Pretty much anything. You can explain why the theme would have different effects on each art if you like.

>>8082268
Not just visual. Is Frankenstein not the most famous example?
