>My english professor

How does it feel to know that you aren't even real, you faggot? If you were born after 1989, you LITERALLY don't exist and you're only a figment of my imagination projected from my mind to keep me from going crazy.

feels good desu

>"There may, though, I opine, be more to it...as in vastly more, right here before us all, hidden by virtue of its size."

What did he mean by this?

I read it twice a few years ago, was pretty good, quite tragic stories but i guess that's the point.
The Children of Húrin is quite nice as well and tragic of course.

I read the Ainulindalë a while ago. It was a better Genesis than the actual Genesis.

well hard to remember all the people and places but bredy gud, as most mythology books.

When I was a college freshman, I brought an IBM Model M to school with me for writing. I love using mechanical keyboards, but hooking up that monster to my laptop wasn't worth it really. I'd say mechanical keyboards are preferable for writing overall though. I definitely wouldn't buy a new expensive one though. You can pick up really nice vintage ones (that are built like tanks) on ebay relatively cheap.

Yes, they're incredibly comfortable.
Just do your research on switch types and try some keyboards at a shop before getting one.

Doesn't look to be simplified. The signets ive had experience with are the Shakespeare ones and I don't like the size and covers of them. They just feel cheap.

signet classics does a great job with shakespeare

convenient size, good font, good annotation, and they hold up just fine over multiple re-readings—my copy of the sonnets has been thoroughly beaten and it's still fine.e.

there's no better option for shakespeare if you're just starting out. grab ten or twenty of them, and whenever you don't know what to read just pick up one at random. You should be able to read a full play in a day without any rush. if you take transit you can just carry it with you in your pocket and read it on the bus or whatever.

I don't know much about them outside of shakespeare.

it'd say simplified if it were. does it?

I carve huge slabs of rock, lay a sheet of homemade papyrus over them and gently rub charcoal over them. The biggest hassle is cutting down the trees for the charcoal because I live in the city. I have to take the train with big piles of charcoal in the front of my shirt.

woah pigga you might be bored but that's doesn't mean WE'RE that bored

>>7666541
You're on 4chan's /lit. Tell me again how you're not that bored.

I'd give it a shot, because I read the Kite Runner and liked it.

I started 'My Life' from Bill Clinton and I stopped somewhere after page 80. That was almost ten years ago but I haven't started anything from a politician after that and will not unless I know that it is going to be useful directly in real life.

I would read a biography about Hesse though, in a few years maybe.

rip the archive, there was a great thread just last week.

Napoleon the Great, Black Jacobins and American Prometheus was what I took out of it.

Looking for best biography of Ivan the Terrible btw

What do you want out of this garbage thread. People to fight over a consensus and accomplish nothing, or to samefag over and over to pretend to come to a consensus. What a shitty thread. Fuck you.
