>>9769818
They are, and they're great, but diving into them without a grounding in less memey but equally valuable books is a dangerous mistake, you end up failing to understand what you're reading so you turn the senseless content into abstract jokes. I read Ulysses and Lolita at 13 and came away with some great experiences but also some primitive and flawed impressions of the works and their value. When I reread them at 18 and again at 19/20 I realised, off the back of several more years of reading, how much I missed and how much more I now gained.

>>9770139
>Milo Yiannopoulos

Absolutely disgusting.

>>9770305
Reads like a novel, often times I'd forget if be reading a historical biography.

It was my first book on Napoleon so I don't have much to compare it to.

From critisms I've read say Roberts is far too kind to our old boy Napoleon.

can you elaborate? what kinds of books do you feel should be the backbone against which you read classics/memes?

>>9770018
The trial is a metaphor for the judgement we face from norms in society - you can't escape being judged if you accept the premise that you want to go through with the trial (or seek the acceptance of others).

This was my take on it, it came to me with the ending. Whadayathink?
