Filled with sad loneliness that I will mask with anger directed at whoever uploaded the picture desu

Disappointed that I only see one good book.

>>7729486
It makes me feel nothing becaaue I don't know most of those authors/books
Only recognize Yeats and Nabby. The other books could be patrician shit afaik

But that's easy, my dear OP.

also, can it make you get your ass kicked by hispanic kids?

Good writers don't live in warm places, statistically speaking.

In fact, if a pop/news science reporter got a hold of statistics relating to writing success and temperature, they'd probably conclude that cold temperatures caused quality/popular writing.

I dont ussually write in english, my prose is only geniusly in my native language.


De las gualdas luces de la noche abrióse dentro de las profundidades el gran Dr. Gorothy Hendry Prothorne. «¡Oh dios!», se escuchaba por un lado «Llegó, llegó. Es él, es él. ¡Qué increible!» decían otros. «Si es él, es él. Se podría tener calma. Un poco.» Dijo F, que ya se aproximaba pecheando a la gran multitud que se conformaba rodeando a Dr. Gorothy Henry Prothorne. La comunidad estaba ahí, y siempre lo estuvo. La aparición de el doctor era, desde ya siglos, una ventaja del pueblo Kollotöran, que aunque por su tamaño demográfico dejaba mucho por desear, era, en invierno, cuando los turistas se instalaban allí a contemplar tal espectáculo, era gran poseedora de hombre con riquezas.
F, al poder haber llegado a su destino con el logro de haber aportado a la curiosa y humilde gente, quedó firme al llegar en la orilla de la trampilla cubierta de la grande y oronda complexión de el querido invitado. F, contemplo la regordeta cara de el Doctor con seriedad que luego mudóse a una leve sonrisa inevitable. «Bienvenido nuevamente, Dr. Gorothy Hendry Prothorne». El doctor lanzó una corta pero estrepitosa risa, y extendiendo su mano a F, trataba sin resultados saltar de la escalera. «Jo Jo, deme la mano Frodorich. Mira que se te ha extrañado», F alzó con su fornido brazo a el Dr lográndolo sacar de la trampilla.
El Dr. Gorothy Hendry Prothorne se incorporó y con un trapo que logró sacar de el bolsillo de su grande y atezado traje dió unos bailes secos y ágiles a sus ropajes.

i can't say i quite understand your "what i got" panel fampai

I'm absolutely laughing my ass off at the absurdity of this image. Anyone with even the faintest knowledge of history would know that the "corn" that Caesar speaks of in Commentaries On The Gallic War is not the corn that we in the west are familiar with, but is rather a poor translation for the word "grain" which in Latin is "Frumentum"

Myself and many others who have read the commentaries would know what you're trying to refer to with your image but it's wrong. Unless of course you were already aware of this and you are posting this ironically. In which case I commend you for your post but it's still blatantly wrong. I would have gone with a collage of images of wheat instead.

>I like Douglas Adams, ut no Pratchett? No Gaiman? Also James Joyce is a terrible read.

Jesus Christ these comments are painful.
Anyway the 2014 list was somehow worse than the 2015 one. This one has a lot more shit on it like BEE and Fight Club and HP.

>This is a terrible list. It's not by people who love reading but by those that love telling people they read.
Yeah, that's exactly why those people use an anonymous imageboard to talk about books. Makes sense.
>redditfags can't into literature
kek

go to /b/ this is not strictly literature.

The Sopranos? Really? You have seen the finale right?

Citizen Kane is great but overrated if you say it's the best.

The Beatles when you have Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, etc.. to choose from?

SMB3 is a classic but even Mario Kart is more enjoyable.

I don't know what comic that's supposed to be, and I don't know enough about comics to have an opinion about what the best is.

I can't fault you for Ulysses.

Bullets > magic.
Also, Rowling did not think that far into ot.

>>7729865
Because muggles are greedy and would use magic for war and so on and so forth.

Same reason why we try to keep plebs off /lit/
Because plebs ruin everything. And muggles are the plebs of HP

Or maybe wizards are just racist.

Morini didn't fuck things up. You were meant to feel bad for him throughout the latter parts, so this was a happier ending for him

>>7721623
Yeah sure we as readers feel bad for him because we know he's sicker than he makes out to be, but Norton didn't necessarily know that, and to her he was just the same old Morini, that she was in no way romantically involved with. I'm not opposed to it, but it just seems so abrupt, almost non-sequitur.

he's an actually nice decent person who isn't a self-involved prick and she realises he's the one she cares about underneath it all
it made perfect sense to me

Elliot Roger is a byproduct of a society that has put too much emphasis on materialism. I have not read his whole manifesto, but part of me can't help but feel a little sorry for him.

>>7720013
I enjoyed it. The unintentionally funny portrait of a mass murderer as an unhappy young sperg. His miserable life was actually an interesting critique of our hedonistic status driven culture.

we've had this discussion many times
the general opinion (which i share) is that it provides a fascinating window into a mind warped by hollywood hyper-capitalism
a less well-shared opinion (though also my own) is that if it had been released without an attendant shooting it would have been hailed as a masterwork by certain lit quarters
is it the best ever written? no, you're trolling. but we take it seriously.

há-de flutuar uma cidade no crepúsculo da vida
pensava eu…como seriam felizes as mulheres
à beira-mar debruçadas para a luz caiada
remendando o pano das velas espiando o mar
e a longitude do amor embarcado.

Und als sie endlich, fast von nahe, ihn,
aufruhend auf dem Thron von Turmalin,
sich türmen sah, so wirklich wie ein Ding:

empfing die rechte von den Dienerinnen
die Schwindende und hielt sie zu dem Sitze.
Er rührte sie mit seines Szepters Spitze:
... und sie begriff es ohne Sinne, innen.

Ach, wie erhaben, dieser Rilke!

First for Wolf Hall

Historic fiction is god tier when done correctly. I think someone needs to grow some balls and do realism for the facey B generation. Satire is never funny in books. Books are never funny.
