As far as a fantasy read goes, I enjoyed it.
While I wouldn't say it's particularly exceptional, I enjoyed the magic, as it obeyed thermodynamics. Again, it isn't exceptional, but I read it twice.

I'm in the middle of it now, and I find that I'm really connecting with some of the characters, particularly Arya for obvious reasons lol although what grips me most about the series is the complexity and intricacy of the ancient language, it makes it somewhat real to me that you can actually learn to manipulate the language outside of set phrases. But as you say, the magic in it isn't just fairy shit, it's almost science, and I think the land, the people within it are so well developed.
It isn't written particularly well, but as a concept it's very artistic to me

Had this kid in my class who read Eragon more than once and you know what? We bullied him for it

blood meme

such deft criticism.

>>9667545
That was literally me, my friend, and I was merely joking. Stop taking 4chan so seriously. Pynchon wouldn't spend his fucking time here, when it's filled to the brim with retards like you

>>9667561
Based on your poorly constructed comment, I am 100% certain it was nicht du

>>9667545

He posts here all the time. It's not a huge secret.

>>9667501
First time I've seen him generally mad as fuck.

>he will never be your dad
>he will die soon

Implying I'd read anything with the word """derridians""" in it

Fuck off

Thanks!

>>9667377
I was going to make this thread months ago but figured I'd be told to fuck off...
>>9667955
Thank you.

Why don't you go ask reddit faggot.
Essays are the lowest medium of writing

Try Montaigne, Emerson, or Schopenhauer

>>9667301
David Foster Wallace. Ignore the memes and the shitposting. He's actually a very talented essayist. Don't rate his nonfiction writing based on Infinite Jest. Read his 'Consider the Lobster'. It's got some great essays. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

The bible has
>a tricky jew tricking people into thinking he is magic

The odyssey has
>a bunch of dumbass greeks that get lost sailing

But only one of them has magical creatures.

>>9667293
what's wrong with jews?

>>9667296
I didn't say there is anything wrong with Jews. I only mentioned one, anyway.

>>9667275
in reference to what? Your inability to function as a human being, or your hatred of women? Because books don't help with that, not matter what /lit/ likes to pretend. The only cure is to go out and have a semi-normal conversation with an assortment of semi-normal people.

no more mr nice guy robert glover.
and more important than that, staying away from any kind of psychology, philosophy or sociology books, which will make you question the reality even more, which is something that you don't need after a heavy session of r9k autism session.

>>9667310
I'm talking about all the self-loathing, obsession, autism, betaness, depression, and all that shit which festers there

I remember the nightmare room books spooked me when I was a kid.

That story about being stuck almost forever in a white void if you teleport to mars while conscious is pretty good, also from King. I don't really like him as a writer, but he makes some good stuff occasionally.

>>9667291
are these works referenced here short stories?

look it is 6/10 girl with book wow

>>9667143
i want to see the boobsers and give them a kissie or two desu

>finally get time to read
>start reading
>fall asleep

>If the value of labor is no longer tied to productivity
What do you mean?

>>9667126
Well to ensure the communal ownership of property, and the eradication of the class system, wages would necessarily be fixed to the extent that productivity does not determine how much or how little one receives, or else Marx risks the construction of social classes based on merit.

>>9667118
Because otherwise they get fired. And being without a job and without means of production leaves you without food, which leaves you dead.

Eliot is hermaphroditic, not transsexual

>T. S. Eliot
>George Eliot

>he can't even use inspect element

heartily kek'd

Just read it without expectations and see how you like it, fagola

>>9667040
Thanks for the insight friendo!

You picked wrong moron. One of the worst translations out there

>>9666915
You should only write what you know. Male virgins have no business setting pen to paper desu

>they went ahead and wallowed in each other's excrement through the only sanctioned sociocultural adapter

>>9666915
>virgin
>want to write a sex scene
Just don't. Having it implied is perfectly fine. Nobody wants to read a sex scene from someone who has absolutely no idea what sex is like.

Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human

Finished it just a couple of minutes ago. I've also read Kokoro and Spring snow. I got Schoolgirl and the Akutagawa collection waiting. The Japanese have fantastic literature!
