Any good contemporary Korean lit, like at all? Even pulp. Someone in that other thread recommended "A Lucky Day" and "Our Twisted Hero".

Do Korean writers use a lot of hanja? I've only read childrens' books in Korean and there isn't any. But it's all over the newspapers.

korea are literally the dfw of nations, no discernible talent and just suck the dick of papa japan and papa china.

we dont read that kind of shit here, you mong.

Ehhhh I bet I could do better. I bet a lot of writers can.

Didn't Sanderson only get published because he had connections?

>>7736189
They were written by a Mormon, dude. Also explains why Vin, Kelsier and Sazed end up becoming gods.

Nope, he's just an idiot.

What I get from this is that fundamentally romance is a completely trash genre. Just the worst fucking dregs of literature. The proper response to his diatribe isn't to attack female romance writers LESS, it's to attack male romance writers MORE. All writers of romance should be ruthlessly hounded out of the writer community.

I wonder how much his own experience as a writer of popular trash novels informs his new found respect for other popular trash novels.

Hello, OP. I'm not a legal expert, but I have had multiple interactions with the law over the course of my life, and have occasionally looked up various laws and statutes as a result. FWIW I'm also (by general standards if not /lit/ standards) a fairly well-read college graduate, and fluent in English. I also recently re-read the US constitution, and according to wiki, it is among the shortest of extant, effective constitutions (in addition to having inspired many of those). I am also in the habit of actually reading and fully understanding my legally binding apartment leases, even though they do tend to be similar.

It has been my personal experience that plain legal language itself (in the USA) is not exceptionally difficult, even when it is being parsed into various subsections and paragraphs. The whole difficulty arises from the legal tradition as implemented in the United States, case precedents, and interpretation. This latter stuff is the stuff that I really don't know, and comprises a lawyer's training. But I do know how to parse several paragraphs of legalese and have a clear understanding of what that block of text, taken by itself, means. It's the relation of some language/jurisdictions to others that, if I needed a lawyer, I would ask their advice because they know the things I don

what is it/what's it about? sell me on it anon i'mw illing to be persuaded.

i mostly don't bring up shit i like cuz peeps are too pleb to dig it and it just scroll away to nothing

lmao philosophy is gay as shit

>If a house takes fire, we must seek, above all things, to protect the right side of the house standing on the left, and, on the other hand, the left side of the house on the right; for if we, for example, should protect the left side of the house on the left, then the right side of the house lies to the right of the left, and consequently as the fire lies to the right of this side, and of the right side (for we have assumed that the house is situated to the left of the fire), therefore the right side is situated nearer to the fire than the left, and the right side of the house might catch fire if it was not protected before it came to the left, which is protected. Consequently, something might be burnt that is not protected, and that sooner than something else would be burnt, even if it was not protected; consequently we must let alone the latter and protect the former. In order to impress the thing on one's mind, we have only to note if the house is situated to the right of the fire, then it is the left side, and if the house is to the left it is the right side.

What did he mean by this?

he just wanted to make you think.

it;s a metaphor

cellar door

Because it's a book about mood and setting and theme, not characters.

No, I didn't say the mood and setting and themes were good. Don't put words in my mouth, asshole.

Lol my baaaad

He borrowed that from Dostoyevsky.

Metamorphoses, its a family tradition for me. Just gloss over the rape parts.

The Crocodile

by Lewis Carroll
How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin!
How neatly spread his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!

is this bait?

must surely brother

What? No, I'm trying to have a discussion.

be patient, friend
if you keep working at it and try your very best, the texts you want to understand will become clearer and clearer
you just gotta believe in yourself :o)

You should read Taming of the Shrew or A Midsummer Night's Dream, those have easier language.

Macbeth is also very simple.

You could actually watch the new Macbeth movie and get about the same out of it as the play, which is also very short and violent.

Needs a proper modern translation. About 4/10ths of it is good, the rest seems like filler. Excellent narration if you can get past the repetition and some of the jarring bits of prose poetry.

>>7735936
by 4/10ths I mean out of the 1000 pp unabridged version.

>>7735905
Outlaws of the Marsh is significantly better.
