How is this possible

Are Americans truly dumb?

>>9560197
A large English vocabulary is not somehow indicative of overall intelligence. I'm sure there are tons of people with STEM field PhD's who don't know what a "tatterdemalion" is. Just like you don't know the TD 5/5's of all the major organs or where the Crypts of Langerhans are. Knowing obscure, archaic, and rarely used words is akin to trivia: it has very limited use. You'll rarely see it in modern texts (and if you do you can usually use context to determine the meaning) and if you use it in your writing all you're either going to come off as pretentious or just kill the flow.

Also one of the guys you quoted was fucking Ecuadorian so I don't know why you're pointing to him as proof Americans are dumb.

>>9560292
At the same time, it's nothing to be ashamed of-- no one questions what they feel they cannot question, e.g. a mathematicians facility with numbers. But even mathematicians question others who've read more books or know more verbal languages than they do themselves. In our want of a general culture, this is a deep meme. 'If youre so smart, why aren't (you) a millionaire!' --etc.

Non Shakespeare je ne l'ai lu que récemment, en édition bilingue. En anglais j'ai aussi commencé par les conneries genre Harry Potter et autres y/a, fantasy genre Name of the Wind, Black Company, puis Tolkien. Ensuite j'ai lu pas mal de littérature britannique, surtout du XIXème (Lawrence, Hardy, Dickens, Wilde).
Le XIXème siècle c'est pas mal parce que le vocabulaire est pas aussi éloigné que celui du XVIIe. Culturellement c'est un peu dur de tout saisir au début mais je pense que c'est excellent pour enrichir son vocabulaire

paulo coehlo is the worst writer of our day and age; I have read the spy, mata hari is an interesting woman, but the way he presents her in this piece of crap, or how he tries to justify things by saying..that's the way it is...makes me gag

>it's all post-modern nonsense
Not to be a faggot but there is a difference between Marxism and post modernism.
Post modernism is the rejection of objective reality, and mostly came about after the crimes of Stalin were revealed under Khrushchev, so it was unfashionable to be a communist.
Marxism actually has positions that you can argue against.

3. Lel, normally kitchen aid/barista at most, today I'm unemployed.
4/5. 33.000, mostly the latin ones at the second page. I felt like a brainlet too, I didn't even read half of them before.
6. I have several, the Hobbit was the first book I liked, Old man and the sea because it was the first book in English than truly resonated with me, Don quixote because it's pure Spain distilled, along Lazarillo de Tormes. But overall I think it's the Illiad/Odissey combo, it's only a shame we will never have the Ayax the great tales too.
7. the book you hate the most

Get a job in the UK if you speak English that well.

5. pic related (testing methodology horribly flawed)
6. It's been years since I’ve read any literary fiction/nonfiction, but In Cold Blood and Blood Meridian were good. I also liked The Shining. And Where The Red Fern Grows was the only book to make me cry tbhfam.
7. I've never read a book that I hated, mostly because I didn't read books that I thought I wouldn't enjoy.

3. Just quit my last job, otherwise, call center.
5. Results: 34,800 words
6. The Savage Detectives
7. I'm not really into hating things, I'd rather ignore a book if I really don't like it.
