I hate it when book covers are based off the movie adaptation of it.

The right is Yasunari Kawabata's "The lake". Got this one as a gift

The language of God
It's Hungarian.

>>9556359
Is that version of City of God abridged or not? I read an abridged version of City of God. It had chapters where the editor just wrote a paragraph about what that chapter was about, and half the time I actually wanted to know what Augustine had to say about it.

Is augustus a good book?
I saw it at my local bookstore but no one seems to buy it

>>9556976
Haven't started it yet. It won the national book award alongside Barth, and many say it's his best. I absolutely loved stoner and butcher's crossing, so I can't really imagine it being anything else but brilliant.

Your typical anon hates it because it's liberal as hell, but it's honestly not that bad at all. The suburbs are mostly yuppies and old hippies. I think it's a pretty great town, a bit too small maybe, but still decently affordable

>>9557226
Yes, and?

>>9556976
It's very good.

>>9557266

nothing. those books arent going to be much use. you should just get on an take the ccna test, they give you all the answers anyway.

>>9556755
How much Descartes is necessary before reading Kant? Or even just Hume and Spinoza? Is it enough to read Discourse and Meditations?

>>9557051
I wish I read all of those. I've only read 3 of those, but most of them are on my list to read. I'm working on C&P now as well.

Is this enough to pass the pseud detectors? Also, how is the Dryden translation of The Aeneid?

>>9561706
Most of the time there is not much worth looking at but every so often there is one or two worth a look.

>>9561711

Bread pill is best pill.
Are you planning on reading The Summa?

>>9561844
Maybe, the Selected writings and City of God are intimidating enough on their own.
