Is this Last Days of Socrates?

and another one

Nah, she's not.

Yes, look at that man and laugh

Enlightening rebuttal.

Thanks.

Is that a diss on Paradise Lost?

Was Goodreads/Amazon Review section one of the greatest mistakes of the Internet? These fucking retards may actually convince people not to read good books.

Like this review

why are you allowed to rate books you openly admit you havent read

Amazon even lets you review books that haven’t been released

They're right. McCarthy ripped off the English Patient.

>would bracketed translations next to the Spanish be requesting too much?
An American wrote this, I guarantee it.

Marginally better than Amazon reviews
>"Great book, but arrived in terrible condition. UPS man was rude. 1 star."

Dude was unstuck from time, stole the plot of The Last of Us for The Road to win a dumb medal.

Seriously. I wish Amazon would just give clear-cut instructions whenever someone decides to post a review: "PLEASE REVIEW THE FUCKING PRODUCT ITSELF, NOT ANYTHING RELATED TO DELIVERY YOU 20 IQ MOTHERFUCKER"

Veeky Forums does this but at least only autists come here and certainly no one with a brain gets their recommendations from here. These people are assigning "garbage" ratings to books that they are genuinely too stupid to understand.

Is the Americlap stupidity meme really this true to life? I feel ashamed.

>These were some bad dudes.
You're goddamn right.

>He anticipated Nietzsche
>'Nietzscheian middle'

What did he mean by this?

"admirous"
>perhaps I am too cerebral for this novel

Have you even driven past a strip mall, walked through a food court, or attended a movie theater? The Americlap stupidity meme is grounded in reality, no question about it

If you think this is limited to America you are sorely mistaken. This is the disease of capitalism.

stop bullying talented and brave amazon reviewers you hack, have you even written a book?

do you even soy, boy?

All of these reviewers featured ITT are the same people who have every Harry Potter book rated 5-star, re-read the entire series regularly, and re-watch every film at least once a year

I see people on here acting like that a lot.

>To know the vintage and quality of a wine one need not drink the whole cask. It must be perfectly easy in half an hour to say whether a book is worth anything or worth nothing. Ten minutes are really sufficient, if one has the instinct for form. Who wants to wade through a dull volume? One tastes it, and that is quite enough-- more than enough, I should imagine.

Don't finish shit books just because Veeky Forums memes you into reading them. Reading should be done for pleasure and aesthetics otherwise you are a pseud right wing /pol/ fag or a pseud neo-Marxist.

The Internet was a mistake. That includes Veeky Forums.

I still don't understand how some retards don't read purely for enjoyment.

everything here is reasonable

If you don't even have the constitution to finish a book maybe go pick a better medium like film or perhaps jusr reread Harry Potter per every year

t. Anytus

They could listen to it at work or when they exercise, Pseud Prime.

This thread has made me believe for the first time that free speech is a mistake.

eugenics when

...

I'd rather have these people read Harry Potter and other YA books every year than have them read books from the canon and come to a wrong conclusion that the book is stupid because they could not understand it or it has no plot. Some people should stay in the gutter.

I've never wanted to read a book so fast

>how do you know the food was bad if you didn't eat the whole thing?

LOL im dying

holy shit lol

>i just learned that america isnt a democracy and need to show people how smart i am

This one is not like the others. Sure, there’s something inherently goofy about giving a one star review to a classic and it’s not an intellectual analysis, but she’s not alone in her criticism here. Especially if you live in a place with real political violence I can understand the thought that the world might have been a better place if this book were never written

> reviewing a book you never finished

I mean, it is Infinite Jest, but who knows? You might fall in love with it at page 200 or so.

what the fuck, Brittannia, who the fuck are you to not be down with a bit of dude on dude action? Any straight woman in their right mind should have a thing for dude on dude action, right? I just love lesbians and I wish the opposite sex felt the same way about dicks getting slapped together and getting pushed into a warm dude booty

Only cowards quit before the rehab center chapters.

You are wise, user. Get away from here while you can.

I have that shirt

Are you actually proud of your wizardry by now?

Ask me again in 2 years

>that pic
Jane Austen IS shit though. The fact she doesn't get into it means the girl is one step further to be patrician.

...

this
it's a well-written book about nothing

are you dumb? if anything amazon reviews should only be about the condition of the product and the delivery. Unless they are e-books.

That's implying that if a book written in the 1500s Italy is the sole cause for political violence. Even if the book was never written this still would have happened

Is this book any good? I've been meaning to pick it up for a while but I'm not sure.

>lens

quickly surpassing "bodies" as the most insufferable piece of critical theory jargon of all time

fucking amazing, read it.

So, it's like Seinfeld?
