could the Hobbit be published today? I don't think there's a single woman in the book outside of Bilbo's aunt/cousin or whatever who is mentioned in passing.

All of it.

how do i get into the silmarillion? I tried reading it but it's so damn confusing. I've read LOTR and the hobbit but this one feels like an appendix of events rather than a real story.

Novels are aesthetic objects - they are studied and enjoyed because they are beautiful. They aren't constructed to 'improve' you or correct your personal shortcomings.

If you already know what your problem is, then stop doing it.

The Republic desu desu

The book is vital for anyone with an interest in law and justice.

Thinking Like a Lawyer by Frederick Schauer is a good place to start because it's modern and very easy to read and explains a lot of jurisprudential stuff that they don't explicitly tell you in law school about and asks a lot of the underlying philosophical questions associated with modern American law

Then for deeper knowledge:

The Concept of Law by HLA Hart
Law's Empire by Dworkin

After those, I would recommend using Schauer's book to follow up on specifics via law review articles cited in his footnotes. If your law school provides access to westlaw, then you can go from there.

Listen to this guy. He suggested all that I was going to mention.

Don't listen to this guy.

I'm still waiting for my Monte Cristo to be delivered.

Heard it's supposed to be good, so many say it is their favorite book.

Also, I've set my goal for 20 books this year.

Not exactly what I meant, it is only about human voice, while I want to refer to sound in general.

There are no obligations in art

I find it hard to believe many authors would just give up on an ongoing series they have invested lots of time into. Personally, I feel that no author should feel obliged to do anything else than what they want with their work, whether it's not finishing it or writing something sure to upset your readers.

>>7537536
no, but you have an obligation to yourself, assuming that writing is your main source of income, to write likable characters in a setting and story that doesn't eventually elicit the reaction, opinion, or feeling

I try to keep it to 2 but it occasionally bumps up to 3. One nonfiction/philosophy and one fiction.

>>7537519

Right now I'm reading:

Being and Time
The Portable Jung
Portable Darkness
History of the Peloponnesian War

Mostly it's just that I hate all of them on some level so I kept picking up new books to buffer my reading with, now I just switch between them when I get annoyed with one. The big problem is I don't feel like I'm making progress which is discouraging.

>>7537538
>>7537539
Well another problem is I like reading a book before bed, but now I have to choose which to read... Maybe I can have just three periods through the day? I imagine I'll be reading the programming book all throughout the day though because that shit's like, my work, but...

Does anyone actually read these books in full? I mean besides academics whose livelihoods force them to.

Ask Harald Blome if they are "on the list". He'll understand.

>>7537264

He meant Herald Bologna
