why do you say that?

>>7966543
are you a conservative?

>>7966543
Only if you're already a fucking sociopath, you mongoloid.

>>7966390
yes

>>7966628
Then I most definitely need to read it. Is it as great as /lit/ says it is?

>>7966651
It's like cumming while going Super Saiyan XXV and then Freiza's back with a dick punch somehow strong enough to burst your dragon balls.

Bunnicula and Gregor series

>>7965712
This series was the shit.

I read just about everything by Paul Jennings and Morris Gleitzman and have no regrets. Based kids' authors.

I remember reading Deltora Quest and listening to blink 182 on a walkman when the series came out and listening to Led Zeppelin on an iPod by the time the original series concluded

Is this book worth reading? I went out to dinner on saturday with friends, and one of them started to praise how amazing this book is, and all of the other ones agreed with her. I am hesistant because when the conversation changed to american literature, i told them that i thought that no other american has had anything interesting to write since faulkner died (just to see what kind of reaction i would get) and they proceeded to shut my down and name john green, and fucking dan brown as rebuttals. Relevant to note that none of us are americans, but students currently living in us.

they don't. they just pretend to understand, because who can tell the difference anyway?

You know, most people who read Hegel only understand him in portions. The people who read him, understand him completely, integrate his understanding into their own, and then create new knowledge based on that understanding--those people are called geniuses.

'Everyone else' is you, me, most scholars or academics, and certainly everyone currently on this board.

>Consciousness finds that it immediately is and is not another consciousness, as also that this other is for itself only when it cancels itself as existing for itself , and has self-existence only in the self-existence of the other. Each is the mediating term to the other, through which each mediates and unites itself with itself; and each is to itself and to the other an immediate self existing reality, which, at the same time, exists thus for itself only through this mediation. They recognize themselves as mutually recognizing one another.

He read Plutarch you cuck, and that is sufficient.

Wheel of Time without a doubt

I enjoyed ASOIAF but if you want the most Tolkien derivative shit then go and read WOT. ASOIAF has that problem too but not as bad as WOT, first book is basically a complete plagiarism of Fellowship.

>>7963215
Did you actually finish the series though? I'm half way through and I don't think I'm going to stop. He's just losing control of the characters and the women piss me off.

>>7963224

I only read the first WOT book and didn't really feel compelled to read the second one.

Because the author is a cunt

>>7963195
you tell us first what you like about it. maybe then we'll consider this thread as something more serious than lazy bait.

>>7963214
>Enjoyable prose
>Interesting characters
>Particular points of view

What are you even saying?

>>7962924
I did some research and it's not just me it seems. It's notoriously hard to read. At the very least, it is if you are getting back into it after 10 years.

It's tough but it's fun and doable. It's also not Greek you fuckin dummy

>>7962912
you sound exactly like the pathetic child you've posted. are you dead? no. then no one is stopping you from picking up a book. Get off 4chan and actually read instead of shitposting here.

i'm a millenial who's starting to agree that we are the worst generation

I doesn't really matter.

You brought up a good point, dear anon, but most normies don't go on /b/ so they might be interested in the fap stories.
