yeah, so good it's now the plot of my next novel

thanks op

i already rote three nobels on this buject

No, fuck off

Lattimore or don't even bother

Pope's translation is beautiful but nothing like the original. I think Dryden said something to the effect of "It's definitely poetry and definitely not Homer"

Lattimore is preferred, because it keeps to the original rise and fall and sounds, along with being a clear translation. Fagles is a clear translation, but doesn't hew to the original as well.

>American novels

>reading introductions

I have NEVER read an introduction and thought to myself "wow, that was great, having read this will surely enhance my enjoyment of the actual book!"
Because that's not a thing that ever happens to anyone

Introductions are hot TRASH

>reading for plot

>>10019724
I think that anon is talking about chapter 3 (?). Can't say for sure since I haven't read this since high school.

>>10019677
who are you talking to

>>10019677
>calls himself a fascist
>hasn't read any of them either

Mein Kampf is largely irrelevant if you want to really get a handle on Fascism.

Also
>no Gabriele D'Annunzio

Come on, son. He practically conceived the thing aesthetically.

I'm not sure you understand Nietzsche very well because in his view we should learn from the Jews on this one and do precisely that again.

>>10019684
He's praising their cunning behavior and their craftiness, not the result they've achieved. He saw the transfiguration of values as the death of yurop

>>10019698
He also saw it as a necessary and inevitable progression from master-morality and that another transvaluation of all values is necessary.

At no point is he suggesting that we go back to master morality.

>>10019660
Means he gets a place on the alt right pantheon.

>>10019671
I don't think you interpreted him correctly.

>>10019688
Enough of your jewish tricks

>>10019627
Kino of prose.

The pinnacle of literature.

>>10019510
What do you think?

>>10019510
Yes you euphoric moron.

Apology isn't even the best dialogue. My personal favorites are Euthyphro, Theatetus, Parmenides, Phaedo, Republic, and Timaeus. The Symposium gets a lot of attention as well but for different reasons.

>Oh yeah, and all the stuff you're supposed to do: exercising 6 or 7 times a week (which I like), reading 30 to 60 pages of books a day to avoid being a philistine, cooking and eating healthily, socialising or internet to avoid insanity, learning new skills like programming, doing something practical, a solid 8 hours of sleep a nighg... there is NO WAY to do all this as a 9-5 wagecuck

I agree. Been working 9-5 for a few months and ever since my reading has taken at hit. So has my exercise regiment and I had to completely quit another hobby. Basically you have to pick one of those things and forget the rest. Here is an average day:

>8:30 wake up run to work
>9am-5pm work. Sometimes I work later
>I bring my gear to work so I can take my dog for a run right away
>get home, shower... its 7pm at the earliest.
>eat some crap. if im lucky my gf cooked something but she works the same hours as me.

so it's 8PM and I have about 4 hours left to do whatever I want. Usually involves errands/chores. Usually I'm too tired to read so I play some video games. I've tried the google calendar thing JBP mentions but literally 2/3rd of my day is spent sleeping and working if not more and it's depressing as fuck to see it on the calendar.

this is what scares me the most.

>>10019446
have you heard of the slow movement? it says pretty much the thing you're describing, plus meditation

The offspring of gold diggers and successful innovators form The League of Normies.

A son of a divorced father who commits patricide and must continue to keep his fathers Co workers/friends and the local law enforcement from finding his body.

A midwestern vagabond is staying with his well-off brother in the hamptons, and decides to kill some time in one of the many art gallaries out there. It's supposed to be a satire on the upper class, specifically their out-of-touch elitism.

Psych is science. Not /lit/
