>reading in Spanish
Only poems and classic works
Reading things in Spanish is a cringefest, the language just isn't made for it.

Do you like the Chadwick translation? I decided to go with the Sheed translation after doing some research but I'm still waiting for it to arrive.

Stoner is one of my favorite novels. I owe /lit/ for that.

Fear and Trembling is fucking phenomenal if you haven't read it yet. Reacquaint yourself with the story of Isaac first.

Death in the Afternoon and A Fable from the grandparents, Microscripts and Cosmicomics from the uncles, American Pastoral and Agape Agape as Christmas gifts from my dad, Women and Men as a birthday gift paid between me and my dad (we share the same birthday, so I figured it would only be fair to go half-in). How'd I make out?

Not shown because they're still in the post:
-The Land Breakers by John Ehle
-The Passion According to G.H. by Clarice Lispector
-Lost in the Funhouse by John Barth
-Freedom by Jonathan Franzen
-Attempts at Exhausting a Place in Paris by Georges Perec

(All these were purchased through Christmas money or B&N gift cards).

Pardon the tired buzzword but this post is so comfy it's damn near poetic.

Enjoy the new reads, m8. You did well.

>>8902399
Zweig! He's one of my favourites :) have you read The World of Yesterday? (All his memoirs are delightful but that one's his best, in my opinion)

I appreciate it, thank you. On another note, I was gifted a ludicrously downy bathrobe as a birthday gift from my stepmom, and it has become a second-skin since. That is probably why I read as so comfortable.

Great picks. Have you read any of them yet? There's a lot in there which can get boring at times, but there are some awesome bits in Pindar and that lyric poetry text. And if you like Pindar you may want to get his fragments from Loeb.

Based pindar:

Those who take no part endure the silence of anonymity;
but even those who do compete are invisible to Fortune
until they attain the final goal,
for she hands out to men a share of both good and bad,
and lesser men’s cunning can overtake their betters and make
them stumble.

Based lyric poets:

I seek you, but you don’t heed,
not knowing you hold the reins
of my soul, my life.

I praise you, wine, on some points, and find fault
with some;
I cannot give you total love or hate.
You’re bane and blessing. Who could criticize you,
who,
that has an ounce of expertise, approve?

O foolish, witless mortals, weeping for the dead
but not the fading of the flower of youth.

Based Euripides:

What good can come from meeting death with tears?
Only a fool, finding that he must meet it,
wishes to talk about it. If a man
is sorry for himself, he doubles death:
is first a coward, then a coward’s corpse.
So let a man accept his destiny,
no pity and no tears.

Based Aeschylus:

And corpses, piled up like sand, shall witness,
Mute, even to the century to come,
Before the eyes of men, that never, being
Mortal, ought we cast our thoughts too high.
Insolence, once blossoming, bears
Its fruit, a tasseled field of doom, from which
A weeping harvest’s reaped, all tears.
Behold the punishment of these! remember
Greece and Athens! lest you should disdain
Your present fortune, and lust after more,
Squandering great prosperity.
Zeus is the chastener of overboastful
Minds, a grievous corrector.

PS Do you have Sophocles?
