What's wrong with Fagles?

>>9470471
rhymes with both fables and bagels but not seagulls

>>9470471

Not that anon but I bought Fagles ages ago when I didn't know any better. You didn't get meme'd necessarily, but there are far better options you should've gone for.

What you really wanted was the Fitzgerald.

I just finished the Fagles Iliad translation and it was great. Ignore these pseuds.

I just bought that translation of the Illiad as well. It's the most recommended one here, so of course, contrarian faggots will start running their mouths. I got the same shit for reading the Peaver War & Peace.

I'm reading Underworld right now and vacillate between hating and loving sections of it 600 pages in. Set aside some time and dedication for that jazzy word salad.

Spoiler: It's not about New York much at all.

It's my first Delillo and I really have no idea what to expect

>Peaver War & Peace.

I'm sorry to hear that.

They literally are shit. Fagles is good but P&V are terrible - especially for Tolstoy. They butcher the fuck out of his prose and write awkward, 'clunky' sentences. Maude is so much nicer to read. P&V hate isn't a meme.

Checked.

I first read Fagles' Iliad over 10 years ago now. It's a treat, but I also enjoyed the Pope version on Gutenberg via my kindle a couple years ago.

Haven't read the rest, but they are /lit/ memes. I suppose that means they are good. Read a bit of Dunces. Ignatius reminds me of poe-news, or 4chan.

why such a thicc bm?

>>9470586

have you done any real comparisons here or you've just read the fagles?

>Ignore these pseuds.
you're not projecting are you, anon? surely not.

>>9470455

These stacks threads always make you look as if you had just started reading...

Blood Meridian, Dune and the Complete Fiction of Lovecraft.

Yes I'm aware that I'm a pleb.
