I chose to do a task on the Victorian era and I need to pick some novels that have connections (characters, ideas etc)
Also heard a lot about Charles Dickens but I haven't read his stuff before

H.G. Wells - The Time Machine, plays heavily on victorian themes like industrialisation, new discoveries in the sciences & technology etc.
>>
I think some of his books trash his society can't remember the ones

I'm an English major... I love reading but sometimes I feel like I don't even know what I'm talking about in the papers I have to write for class. I either feel like I'm overanalyzing the text or that I'm just writing mindless drivel. It's frustrating. I enjoy writing and I wish I enjoyed it more in this context. Can anybody relate?
Also... books for this feel?

Need a couple of poems from somewhat reputable poets for an English assignment relating to the topic of appearance versus reality.
I've been searching online quite a bit, but I think I just genuinely don't know where I should be looking.
Please help me! Thank you so much!

Is reading an abridged version of pic related a waste of my time? What more exactly does the unabridged bring to the table? Would I be missing out on a truly significant part/amount of the story?Asking for a friend.

What the hell man. Everyone knows that the only classic it's safe to read the abridged version of is Look Homeward, Angel. And that's only because you're protected from being called a pleb since the original was the abridged version.

What are your thoughts on Theosophy? I mean, it seems kinda flaky and weird, but that's kinda the idea isn't it?

Doesn't Theosophy kinda promote solipsism, relabeled "the monad"?

What are your favorite nonfiction books or stories of real life people?
>Craig Vincent Smith (April 25, 1945 – March 16, 2012) was an American musician, songwriter and actor. He began his career in the 1960s playing pop and folk music and appearing on The Andy Williams Show. After experimenting with drugs while travelling on the hippie trail, he suffered mental health problems which worsened over time. He released two solo albums, Apache and Inca, in the early 1970s under the names Maitreya Kali and Satya Sai Maitreya Kali. After spending nearly three years in prison for assaulting his mother, he spent the majority of the next 35 years homeless.
Craig Smith is like if Brian Wilson went too hard on the drugs, disappeared to India and died homeless and alone.

Hey, /lit/. What do you think is the best kind of opening for a novel? What does a book need to have in it's first page or even it's first paragraph to keep you from immediately putting it down and dismissing it as worthless tripe, in your opinion?

How is this translation? It seems like one of the better options, along with McDuff (whose Brothers K translation I really enjoyed), but the Dr. Suess cover really throws me off
