Please do not fill up the board.

But I'm asking specifically for books that are fine to read before reading the Greeks.

Epic of Gilgamesh

Do you mean in general or literature that was written pre-ancient Greece?

donald westlake, the hot rock

i mean... why not and it's fine to read before reading greeks

Veeky Forums died when people started taking this forced meme seriously

in general

Sumerian: Instructions of Shuruppak, Kesh temple hymn, etc.
Egyptian: Pyramid Texts, Cannibal Hymn, etc.
Akkadian: Epic of Gilgamesh, etc.
Hittite: Anitta text, etc.
Vedic Sanskrit: the Rigveda
Chinese: The Five Classics

Any acclaimed book or popular work that isn't related to Greece can be considered. What went through your mind in the creation of this thread is beyond my mental faculties.

Do you presume that this will in any way humour me? Doth a plebeian not consider his master's anger in this deception?

You are not only ludicrous in your efforts of comedy but successful in your stupidity.

Run away now, buffoon.

Agreed.

Continue to reply, plebeians.

I can play all night.

Your link validates what I just told you, dumbfuck.

>"So, if your meaning is ‘none of them’, treat the word as plural; if it is ‘none of it’, treat it as singular."

Try again, plebeian. I can play all night. You should improve your reading comprehension.

God damn, trip fags seriously consider replying to trolls until they get bored to be winning?

Or wait... Are you the troll? How many levels of irony are we working on now? Is this the time to say succ?

Go back to /b/, trollio.

To grow out of irony is to become a man.

Everything I say is sincere and delivered with a punch forceful enough to bring down the Great Wall of China.

Ah, good.

You conceded.

Good man.

What's your native board Sulla?

It's a meme as much as install Gentoo is a meme, in that it is helpful but not for everyone. Generally, you start with the Greeks in academics, so it makes sense to start there outside of academics, especially considering most influences on Western culture and literature can be traced back to the Greeks. If you want to get serious in literature you would start at the beginning and work toward contemporary, just like one might do with an author's bibliography. This is a literature board, thus there are lots of readers that'd like to get serious in literature.

I understand that your behavior comes from a place of embarrassment. I answered the OP's question, and you failed. You cannot let that stand, so you lash out with a bout of nit-picking toward imaginary nits. It's sad.

I will post on Veeky Forums, Veeky Forums and perhaps other boards for the next few years under this name.

If you wish to follow me in order to catch me out, then I welcome the challenge, good fellow!

afaik none can be used with both is and are in this case of several countable objects, neither is always used with is and neither is preferable to use for a choice of two objects only, but that all is unrelated crap. im supposed to capitalize too

So no home board? Veeky Forums published 2 books, we don't need you or your tripfaggotry to carry our banner. fuck off.

ALL THESE RETARDED PRESCRIPTIVISTS ON MY BOARD! GEEEEEEEE~~~~~~T OUT!

>Veeky Forums published 2 books

o.O

I have quite literally been here for years, perhaps you should not assume, it makes an ass out of you and brings shame upon your family.

If you actually purchased 'The Legacy Of Totalitarianism In A Tundra' I have absolutely no respect for you and that too goes for your secondary failed project which you call a "book."

Shame upon my family? give it up man, you're speaking like an autist. Also, yeah I own Tundra, and Hypersphere, and they were fucking hilarious.

Why do you chose to denigrate what makes this board beautiful by trip fagging?

The cringey thing is, before you came here, this board was full of people using trips and I chuckled reading that you bought the books, how embarrassing.

But if you can use your intellectual abilities to explain to me the innate difference between the name "Sulla" and "Anonymous", perhaps I will consider your opinion instead of disregarding you as a mere idiot.

:)

here is an excerpt from a page at random from our book

"They’re gay as shit, and you just come off as a gaiboi.
Chill, but if you want I will allow you to suck my cock, or you can
just watch me masturbate.
Expelliarmus
Macoc
Seriously though, you come of as a manic queer from what I’ve seen
of you on Jimmy Kimmel. After your appearance, I no longer want to
see your latest movie. This means you’ve done your job at
promoting the film exceptionally poorly. I mean, I doubt I would
have seen it anyway, it looks like a bad romantic comedy, but you
could have at least tried to be likable enough to dupe me into
seeing it based on your personality.
"

Yes, how beautiful, the ramblings of teenagers and their attempt at irony filled with a feminine tone.

You are rather embarrassing, plebeian.

please try to be less of a faggot

These are your people of your board you moron. you're insulting yourself, along with your community. also, you don't get it. that's the hilarious part of your autism
Your dumb mock act to be a pretentious roman senator is retarded. If you don't understand the point of anonymity you really shouldn't be posting on Veeky Forums. how was passing your freshman finals by the way?

i recall when it was written literally nobody took it seriously

Oh, don't worry, plebeian. I "get it."

>These are your people of your board you moron. you're insulting yourself

I thought we were anonymous, I thought there was no self?

You do realise I am not Cornelius Sulla?

You seem to be suffering from psychosis, perhaps you should check it out.

;)

>before reading the Greeks
>before the Greeks
>before Greeks

Dunno, the rosetta stone?

By the way, you have yet to tell me the innate difference between "Sulla" and "Anonymous."

I know which earlier poster you are ;)

STOP TALKING LIKE A FAGGOT, RETARD

Yes, I should rather use your words, "retard" and "faggot."

How mature and eloquent.

;)

I will punch you in the goddamn face and you will stay plastered.

Nice try faggot.

Learn the language of our board

i don't give a fuck what you think of me because you're literally nobody

and that's why your hoity toity nose in the air contrived pretentious bullshit is SO FUCKING ANNOYING

Buckley lost that argument due to his inability to contain himself despite the hilarity of what he said.

The fact you quote him out of desperation, not only displays your lack of originality but your plebeian nature too.

;)

>Ubuntu

Hilarious, you are a pleb indeed.

Enjoy your Amazon Botnet too.

That is why you replied, huh :^).

And that's how I know you're not a Veeky Forums native. Not a chance that you're a Veeky Forums native. you can't differentiate in between separate posters via their passive voice or stylistics.

fuckin' pleb

>Ubuntu

:^)

I simply quoted Buckley because of my admiration of an honest man. You sound like a boy who could use a strong male influence in his life.

Resorting to reaction images I see. Deal with it you pleb, you lost. anyone here can see through you just like that

>reddit

Go back to reading john green.

Continue to project, it only further reveals your plebeian nature.

To 'admire' men of history is quite pathetic, you have not yet reached greater heights than them ;).

Nice long winded sentences.

yawn ;^)

Holy shit I hate the way you write even if you are """""""being ironic""""""""

namefags need to fuck off and die

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

you're awful less than nobody
and you're annoying
and it satisfies my annoyance to put forms of hatred upon you
you faggot piece of shit

While we're on the subject, reddit has great porn.
You're right though, I'm ashamed to have an account.

>thinking the size of the sentence is important
>Current year
>Shiggity diggity dawg

>Nice long winded sentences.
Compensating for something?

Ah yes, the reddit pepe frog. Thanks for being cringey yet again.

I wouldn't expect a man with a small intellect and penis to care about size ;).

Wanna compare cock sizes?

Because that's all you seem to want to do, I'll happily oblige.

Of course, mine is a mere 7 inches. Yourself?

Tough luck, old sport. 7.4 inches here. And thick.

I'll trade cock pics with you. Let's see it.

...

Upset I ignored you, huh :^)?

...

Still waiting on the cock pic m8

I plan on harassing you every time i see your trip, just because you're this much of a faggot.

Don't worry, I'll write a script to hide all posts from your IP address, you cringey loser.

;^)

...

Where's the dick pic at? all talk and no game :/ bummer

>implying I don't know how to proxy. Try again niger

are you mad? because you seem to be BTFO

This trolling made my morning. Good job virgins; trade your dick pics and move along.

You think tripfags would have a sense of humour or at least know how to not get trolled into a pissing match. Enjoy your morning user

>please do not fill up the board.

bc we our space is so sacred...

Veeky Forums is dissolving into a memesphere

>my mental faculties

Hahahaha fuck you

as funny as all this is, i wonder if there's any chance that this muppet here can be ignored long enough to answer the proposed question.

I would be so bold as to suggest that any book is fine to read before the Greeks, as long as you don't mind missing out on some subtle references, though it's nigh impossible to include yourself in everyone's joke at any given time. I would say if you're reading something, and you feel you're missing out, then do a bit of research. it is most likely that even if you had read the greeks prior to finding one of these references, you would still need to do a bit of research to fully understand what the author is alluding to. Hell, it may even turn out that the referenced research will allow you more insight than if you even bothered to read the Greeks in the first place.
