About to finish.

This was FUNNN, but I'm so ready for something else right now. Wheeew.

I don't know how this will end, but would anyone (if anyone has read it/is reading it) agree with me that Elena is basically a bit of a bitch whereas Lila did NOTHING wrong?

>>8516702
nobody gives a fuck about the languages you know you autist fuck

Finishing The Iliad. Gotta admit, I wasn't enjoying it in the beginning, almost dropped in on Book II but now about I am loving it, already planning on re-reading it after a while

I'm reading through the Orthodox Study Bible, which is mostly a NKJV translation with Orthodox footnotes.

I read the Oxford Annotated Bible before, which was decent..

But the Orthodox Study Bible is unparalleled in presenting the Bible as a single unit. The footnotes are doing a very good job with helping me connect the old testament to the new.

>wants to LARP as an Orthodox for a while because he got bored with his former faith
>reads the Bible in English because the footnotes make it Orthodox

Mate, your are either born one or grew up with it at best. Anglos need not apply.

So many casual fucks on this board holy shit.

Neck yourselves fagots.

>>8517544
Keep it up.

>>8516729
I know English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, Swedish, Russian, Japanese, and bits of Korean and Icelandic.

I don't know whether to read Les Mis or Count of Monte Cristo. Help.

>>8518310
Les miserables because it will make Monte Cristo that much better by comparison.

>>8518316
Thanks lad! I'll try it out. I'm equally excited for both (took a break from doorstoppers for a while).

I fell from the train of reading a while ago, gonna pick up from where I left off and start Conrad's Typhoon.

Not so bad, not as good as C&P.

Dance Dance Dance, call me what you will but I like it

>>8518085
Notice how Chinese is not among those, so you too would have to read Lao-Tzu translated.

I really regret just reading the sparknotes in high school. This is damn near the comfiest book I ever done read.

>>8516684
If I read this in English, or even modern Mandarin Chinese, am I getting anywhere close to the original book? I'm trying to learn Mandarin Chinese now, and after that I'd like to learn Classical to read texts just like this but if I don't have to learn Classical then why should I waste my time?

Ottessa Moshfegh's Eileen

>>8519440
Hey man I know I'm just a stranger on the internet but go the extra to learn classical, it will change your life. if you love mandarin enough to read a mandarin translation, you will be infatuated with 文言. seriously.

Franny and Zooey

I'm reading The Illuminatus! Trilogy. So far it's the cleverest terrible book trilogy I've ever read.
