So /lit/ I'm taking a month off from work, and I won't have shit to do.
I thought I could spend some time reading something, or learning about some specific topic.
What is the most patrician thing I could spend my time on? I considered buying Lingua Latina by Hans Orberg and finally learning some latin.
What would you advice me to do during this month?

Try Ulysses.

Read about aesthetics and the philosophy of art. Stick with the germans: Baumgarten, Lessing, Kant, Hegel, Benjamin, Heidegger, etc.

well Baumgarten in his Aesthetica coined the term aesthetics as we know it today, the only noteworthy americans are people like Goodman or Dewey but they are post-modernist, Duchamp-style theorist, which suck imo. If you want patrician aesthetics I think you have to Stick with the germans

i wondered do people just use patrician as a buzzword? but no op is thinking about taking 4 weeks off work to read latin?
life is fucking short op don't waste it on that bullshit.

Yeah. /lit/ definitely doesn't read.

You can do all of them.
OP you will not learn much Latin in 4 weeks even if you spend all of your time on it, so unless you think you're going to keep up with it I'd say give it a pass.
Read as many of Shakespeare's plays as you can, how about.

Read Jung and start lifting.

It's not a waste of time if it's what he wants to do. What makes traveling any better?
>>
Don't waste your time reading like a faggot. Learn to trade the stock market or something. Get that pussy my nigga

Ugh men really shouldn't go barefoot. It's ridiculous.

I've considered Shakespeare. Do you actually think spending time on him is better than learning latin? I'm asking unironically.
>>

You could read every Shakespeare play in 4 weeks, but you wouldn't get very far with Latin. If you plan to continue learning Latin afterwards -- for years -- then it is worth it and you could get a good initial jump into it in 4 weeks. If you don't think you will continue it would be a waste of time.

I do intend to continue learning latin, and I've taken latin in an introductory course. Is it more worth it in this case?
