>translations
no hope for you my friend.
>how many books have you read this year
50

There's hope for you if you don't come back to /lit/. This board is pathetic.

>>8796725
No hope.
63

>>8796760
/lit/ard, of course I read Inferno translated because I don't fucking know the Italian language.
I guess if you read it, you read it too translated in English.

And all of you, ofc there's hope for me, fuck you faggots, I do what I want to do and I'm the best :D

>>8796820
I can read 3 languages so no, i read it in italian you mong.

>>8796826

I read in five languages and I'm learning a new one. Enjoy your illustrated translated editions.

>>8796826
>could only learn three languages
>chose Italian
Why couldn't you have chosen something more useful, like Latin?

>>8796725
I didn't start reading of my own volition until I was 22. In the four years since then I've read 100+ books a year at a rate of at least one doorstopper per month. It's never too late.

>lads
Newfag alright.

You'll be fine. Just welcome Stirner to your heart.

do you like postmodernism?

>>8796952
I hate it, and I hate you too.

>>8796844
Amazing! I'm willing to do this.

>>8796965
asked it because two of the best postmodern books you will ever read are Italian:
>Alberto Arbasino - Brothers of Italy
>Stefano D'Arrigo - Horcynus Orca
... but, damn, what a pity: they haven't been translated
One reason to start learning Italian.

>>8796981
i know cazzo

>>8796986
that's a good starting point haha

>>8796981
Is there even an Orca English translation? I'm quite well learned in Spanish and am interested in pursuing French and Italian as they're all Latin based languages, but it'll be a while.

whale: OoooOoooOoooOoo
translator: I, I think he's hungry.

>>8797009
sadly there's no translation for Horcynus Orca. though if you like postmodernism you can still read Petrolio by Pasolini (it's very political) or That Awful Mess on the Via Merulana by Gadda (kinda detective but pretty crazy). If you know Spanish you can learn Italian rather easily

How do you guys learn languages so easily? I'm stuck not knowing the language of the old country cause my dad didn't fucking teach me for some reason. Even exposed to it for a lot of my life I still struggle a ton trying to actually learn it.

>>8796981
Fuck, what a good looking book.

>>8797517
>How do you guys learn languages so easily?
They don't.

Your dad did not live in the "old country" for a reason.

>>8798223
What is the reason?

>>8796725

>Reading for instrumental reasons

No hope for you.

>>8796725
Not reading at least 400 pages per day. Nope, ar trebui să renunți încă de pe acum opeee.

>>8798475
Ce pula mea 400 pag pe zi ce om face asta?

>>8798515
Wow, chill, toată lumea te meme-a până acum. Şi fyi, în weekendul ăsta am terminat for whom the bell tolls de 800 pag în 12 ore, plebeu.

>>8798531
lying on 4chan, what a fucking pathetic moron you are. go away braggart

>>8798531
Hai, coae, iti bati joc de mine?
Cum citesti 800 pag in 12 ore?

>>8798538
Only if I were lying... I got no social life, so I'm reading. Can you say anything against that? I can't believe how condescending romanians are nowadays...

>>8798543
he's fucking kidding you, bro

>>8798531
You read 800 pages in 12 hours? HhahahhaHAHAAhAHAHhHaHahhHha
No.

>>8798546
800 pages in 12 hours is a fucking meme and you should stop your comedy right now

>>8798543
Primul post da, era troll, da' chiar am citit...şi m-am ales cu o durere de cap după.

>>8798552
Cojones, dacă nu minți ca un bulangiu, bravo.
Ai încercat Sf. Scriptură? Am auzit că este un SF clasic.

>>8798552
PE ELEFANT SCRIE CA ARE "Numar pagini: 568"
YOU FUCKING LIAR

>>8798555
Sfânta Scriptură...heh...o ştiu pe de rost... Da' serios, mneh, nu pre' îs fan sf-uri, aliens and shit, not my cup of tea.

>>8798552

700 de pg eat a dick. Greşeala mea că am numărat si prefata

>>8798563
Ca să fiu sincer, wow, îs surprins ce rapid se enervează lumea pt un post pe un anonymous image board.

>>8798572
La tine prefața are 100 pagini?

>>8798584
Poate. Nu măi, încercam să mă scuz că am greşit calculul inițial. Mea culpa, bruh.

>>8798587
Felicitări oricum. Eu am început ușor cu 100 pag pe zi.
Poate ajung și eu la alt nivel în timp.

>>8798595
Mersi. Chestia îi că eu nu pot face asta zilnic, doar în weekenduri. Doar atunci citesc eu, so we're on par. Şi la cât de rar o fac, pun pariu că ai citit mai mult ca mine deja. Ce traducere îi aia la Inferno? Eu am citit-o pe aia de George Coşbuc şi era top notch. Şi în fine, gl cu cititul.

>>8798598
La fel, George Coşbuc.
Este ediția de la RAO Clasic. Au lansat ăia carți în format frumos, elegant, cât de cât.
Merci la fel :D
