i just want to know !

why france don't speak english good?

>>8844188
Same reason we don't talk about Balzac. You have to insult and cajole us through condescension into actually reading things

>>8844249
english sucks

>>8844188
We used to, but /lit/ has gone to shit. You're part of the reason for making such a trash thread about him.

>>8844291
/lit/ was never good

>>8844188
Go back to études littéraires.

/lit/ was better than this at one point.
A slow board is the key.

>Obviously Alcide was perfectly at ease, at home so to speak, in the higher regions, on terms of familiarity with the angels. You wouldn't have known it to look at him. With hardly a thought of what he was doing, he had consented to years of torture, to the crushing of his life in this torrid monotony for the sake of a little girl to whom he was vaguely related. Motivated by nothing but his good heart, he had set no conditions and asked nothing in return. To that little girl far away he was giving enough tenderness to make this whole world over, and he never showed it.
>Suddenly he fell asleep in the candlelight. After awhile I got up to look at his face. He slept like everybody else. He looked quite ordinary. There ought to be some mark by which to distinguish good people from bad.

I loved this part, senpai.

how is Death on the Installment Plan? I liked Journey but upon the first reading it felt a little overly long.

It reads like the most disgusting fever dream ever. It's also overly long.

>disgusting fever dream
I can't tell if you think that's a good thing or not.
