Tell me /lit/, how do i finally enjoy the literal merit, which you so often go on about.
I am currently reading crime and punishment, have read nabokov, camus and mostly philosophical stuff, but my interest mostly goes towards the thoughts of the characters, their schemes and definitions they come up with.
But i simply can't enjoy, or have the feeling i don't enjoy the prose as much as i should.
Is it as you describe it? Does your mind overflow, do your emotions tingle? Does your heart skip a beat?
I just have the feeling like i'm missing out.

Beautiful prose is extremely refreshing. I can get seemingly insignificant phrases stuck running through my head for days or weeks.
I would suggest you try reading more literature written in your native language. translations can never entirely express the nuances of language of the original work, although many translations are beautiful.

Thanks, insights like these help me going on. Well that's probaby why philosophy suits me as well, i am a native german, so i can read most of it non translated.
