>Spends just about one chapter actually alluding to Greek Myths and how the Greek world view may grant a higher level of knowledge
>rest of it is a boring ass getting-away-with-murder plot.

Read The Magus instead, at least that actually uses some of the themes it sets up.

>>9509760

Donna Tartt? More like donnot startt reading this amirite

Pic related and Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto are the coziest things I've ever encountered. Pale Fire, Pan by Hamsun, a lot of Robert Frost's stuff also pretty good.

Only only read the first chapter and gave up on it. I didn't really want to read about a bunch a dweebs jacking off to the Greeks. Maybe it gets better but I'll never know. And whats the deal with those kids anyway? Do college kids really dress up tweed suits acting like they're living in another century? I just couldn't understand the whole set up.

>>9509456
this shit is so comfy i am with you OP. it's the better breakfast club

>>9512675
yea this happens irl. just depends on your taste anon. i was taking a greek class at the time and i was really excited to watch dweebs jacking off to greeks

>>9512675
Just finished the first chapter. I could definitely see giving up on it, as I can't relate to any of this bullshit, but I'm super interested to see what she does with all these pretentious, pedantic fucks.

that book was so comfy

>>9512232

>Auden
>Orwell
boring shallow classic liberal shit to be honest

>>9514508
But smooth, easy to comprehend reading. For 'boring' I'll give you Orwell, but The Dyer's Hand certainly has its moments, and I found it enjoyable.

>>9514508
Nice job bringing politics into a comfy lit thread, you faggot.

You should read Orwell's Coming Up For Air. Very comfy.
