hmm i think i fit pretty well with the stranger, intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.

>>9176868

The guy from a dream of a ridiculous man

joke: this is a meme shitpost, nothing to see here, move along

woke: i'm a boring disposable object that chops things up into slush, spawned as one of millions of unnumbered others and now accruing dust in a permanent state of obsolescence, piled up like so much wreckage at the feet of the angel of history, om shantih shantih

THICC

Alice B. Toklas: purposefully unobstrusive; good for bouncing ideas off of and not much else.

also gay as fuck

For me, it is Stephen Dedalus, intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.

>>9177076
which translation would you recommend?

I am reading Brothers Karamazov now and it's the Pevear translation.

Raskolnikov

We even share the same name.

The protagonist of My Diary Desu.

I only ever see bits and pieces of myself in characters. I'm not as elegant as Hamlet or as erudite as Daedalus or as pious as Alyosha...

But hot damn if Levin's return home to Petersburg in part one of AK wasn't almost entirely how I viewed a similar rejection. I can't wait to finish the book.

Holden from the catcher in the rye, I am socially awkward and and self entitled ;w;

>>9177871
hey man, pick up Avsey's or MacAndrew's translation and read it in tandem with P&V's. honestly. make the decision yourself, but don't go the whole thousand pages wondering if the message could be communicated better.
