If there's nothing to be happy about, there's also nothing to be sad about.

Also, the "self" is an illusion.

Anyways, my favorite ancient classic is Frankenstein

A maia, maybe from manwe's people. Who lived in middle earth since the days of ormal and illuin and never went to aman

He is his own master.

>Asimov
can we get a separate fucking board for sci-fi and fantasy? I'm so tired of seeing this bullshit all the time. There are so many other venues where you can talk about this swill besides this one.

How was he a villain?
Antagonist and authoritarian, but not so villainous.

>>7778760
They have a general but can leak from time to time. More than I can say for Christfag threads.
Just close 'em down like normal people, Squeaker.

>Any other books with interesting villains(not simply antagonists, villains) /lit/ could recommend?

This one, although a lot of it may seem a little familiar post-Game of Thrones

Why do you want that chart OP? It's pretty stupid.

So long as you can still fap to the scat scene, you're good.

it's a /lit/ meme ,few copies have that one error don't worry

1) It used to have 1 sentence cut short (a relatively unimportant sentence)
2) It no longer has any errors at all (as verified by me)
3) BUT it looks ugly as fuck and cost more

If you somehow got an old copy of that edition you might have the error, but it won't impact your reading at all. It's in the middle of such a disorienting section you'll probably not even notice anything is wrong.

Go home Anon, you're drunk.

I am reading the Iliad right now and I think it's good myth-history and imagery.
Or at least the Fagles translation is good to read.
I tried to read the Loeb Classical Library edition but the English verse is antique.
Fagles is more direct, effectively "American" prose.
But that Loeb edition is useful since it's English translation on one side and ancient Greek on the other side.
Fagles translation is published by Penguin Classics and there's an informative introduction to the Greeks and Homer.

p.s. The Aeneid was written by the Roman Virgil in homage to Homer.

I've also got this visual history book by C.M. Bowra.
It was published by Time Life Books and it's affordable.
There's a ton of classical texts and Greek history books at my local university.
I've been there five or six times and I check the catalog: nobody seems to read the Greeks anymore.
That's good for me I guess but sometimes I feel untimely.
But not as much as Nietz did in the 1870s.
I haven't reached Silenus-mode yet.

Wordpad.

Its bare-bones design is ideal for letting your ideas flow.
