Don't see why you wouldn't get the NYRB version regardless. They also put out a hardcover Bresson on Bresson

It was printed in '64, published by New American Library and has like 448 pages. My mostly uneducated guess is no.

P&V twice.

>>8766982
I'm reading the Maude edition of W&P now and my first impressions are good, though two problems I have are with the French footnote translations which are not exact translations of the French in the text, and how they butchered one of the best quotes early in the book. Maude's translation of the quote (P&V) - “Nothing is so necessary for a young man as the company of intelligent women.” is “Nothing is so necessary for a society man as the society of clever women.”

>>8766982
BTW, P&V for Dostoevsky is good. They are objectively the best translators for his work.

I posted at the end of last thread.

I am a casual who is trying to read more. I wanted some entry level classics. Went to my local charity shop and in a small sections next to all the fad books I found these. Pretty happy with it.

After I cleared them out of lit stuff I recognised I wondered if all charity shops were like this. Nope. Visited 3 more today and there was nothing but shelves of trash. I saw the same Jeremy Clarkson book in all 3.

>>8767522
Jesus, how 12 are you.

>>8767541
Oh give the guy a break, if he's just starting that's not too bad.
1984 and Clockwork Orange are both solid/10.

>>8767541
I know, it is funny. My family think some kid doing an english course must have dropped them off.

Gotta get them under my belt at some point though, and I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy them.

>>8767132
>They are objectively the best translators for his work

Lel no.

>>8765504
I have the same dante but in softcover; didn't even know it came in hardcover.

Can someone decide for a newcomer about what to read next out of the following:
The Trial
American Psycho
The Sound and The Fury
Blood Meridian
A Wild Sheep Chase

>>8767973
The Sound and The Fury is literature kino.
Read that.

>>8767980
Ok. Thanks.

>>8766419
Because Sappho, Sebald, and Bresson is basic bitch tier.

And I haven't read enough Marx to honestly call myself a Marxist.

>>8766959
lol crying over castros death you commie faggot?

>>8767426
Th-thanks, sempai.

>>8767973
I've read American Psycho and Blood Meridian, the short stories of Kafka and Murakami books (but not the one you mentioned) and I would start with A Wild Sheep Chase. I really love The Sound and The Fury from what I've read of it so far but I haven't finished it because I have motivational/attention problems reading. It's really comfy and reads in a very disturbing manner. You should try it first to see what you think and maybe finish it if you can but regardless I recommend the Murakami book next.

Oh fuck off. He admitted he's casual and that they're entry level.

Steppenwolf isn't really that entry level high school at all. The other ones I read all in high school.

These are all good books except I don't really care for 1984.

>>8769166
>The Sound and the Fury
>comfy

The Sound and the Fury is marvelous and one of the GOAT novels, but how in the actual hell is it "comfy?" It's unnerving, depressing and as you said disturbing. How is that comfy.

Comfy is like Murakami: Rain, jazz records, cats and mystery.

>>8767128
Garnett's translations are the definitive English versions of Tolstoy's works.

>>8769214

Is the book actually about Rule 34?

>>8769599
Yes.

meme science actually gets eaten up by people.

>>8769883
I happen to think Sagan and Tyson are very beautiful speakers. And advocation of science to a general audience isn't a bad thing either.

>>8769890
It's just one of those things where someone is hated because they have a lot of obnoxious fans, which Sagan-Tyson do. 4chan is very good at this. Tyson is also extra hated because he's black.

But just because neckbeard fedoras worship them doesn't mean they're not okay.

>>8769905
It's the same thing I hear about Krauss too. I'm okay with being associated with those people because they're just not me.

>>8766313
Did you know that if you kill yourself today there'll be one less weeboo in the world?

I have that same illustrated Decameron and The Painted Bird is great, I don't care who wrote it or how true it is or whatever.

Other Rooms; Other Voices-Capote
Rosshalde-Herman Hesse
Lost Illusions-Balzac
Eugine Onegin-Pushkin

I get the impression Balzac is incredibly underrated around here, I've never really seen people mention his work outside of joking about his name. Also how is Rosshalde as my second Hesse novel?

>>8765565
War in peace is better the second time you read it, but even better if you immediately read a different copy.

>>8767522
I like where you're headed with this. Everytime I see a kid reading in public its always book 3 of 7 of "the dragonschlong odyssey" or some such shit. I cant wait until Trump enlists /lit/ for his plebian re-education death squads.

>>8770758
>>8767522

Whenever I go into my charity shop I just see a bunch of shitty, mass market detective novels or nothing but bad paranormal romance series. I've found a couple good things in the classic sections but they never really seem to branch out much of the Shakespeare, Dickens, Austin, Bronte, Trollope, etc.

>>8765504
was there even any good black friday deals for books. every place had like 30% a single fucking book. so what was the point?

>>8769949
It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing my hobbies piss people off.

underrated post

>>8773315
I can't speak for anyone else, but I often keep a stack of books that I either haven't gotten around to putting away yet or I want to have on hand, like if it's a poetry book that I've slowly been going through in between reading other works, or if I'm reading multiple things at the same time. I also keep my valuable collector's books separate from my others to keep them safe.

Science isn't an ideology, its the collective sum of human knowledge. Of course it should be put on a pedestal. From my experience the only people who oppose it are those who base their ideologies and opinions on indefensible positions that fear the truth exposing them.

Noob here. Where do I order books from online that will send everything in one package? Preferably with int shipping. I know of sites for comics, but not for books.
Bookdepository sends them one at a time and they come in bent.

>>8769529
Hey, it's me, the guy who wrote the thing you are asking a question. I think it's comfy because it seems to ease you into the darkness with sleeping agents and lubricant and then you get raped. Since I didn't get far into the book, this is my impression. Also I agree with >>8773558 's sentiments.

>>8773860
Dunno brah, amazon can put them all together but it might make the shipping take longer.
As far as used books are concerned, a bent page here and there isn't that big of a deal to me.
