Fite me.

what's your address you limp dick faggot?

I buy books because I like the smell of books.

u jelly?

Ask your mom.

and she'll ask your dad

Jokes on you, I'm an orphan.

I haven't read a book since I went to see widespread panic and Umphrey's McGee last summer because I've been listening and going to shows for 11 months. Hopefully shitposting here again will give me motivation to crack my backlog but it's almost festival season :^(

Hope she shoots her own leg

Can you top that dank meme m8?

fagles, fitzgulard, lattiremore, chapman, and poe but they say poe is his own, but i would say fitzgarland even though i havent read him or any of them for that matter, im just repeating what i heard down the great vine

seduce a rich old woman and have her take care of you in exchange for tender love

kys you useless cunt

wow i was just trying to help

that makes it worse

The Oxford classics edition of Melville has decent notes. It's also a beautiful translation in its own right

well all right then, it's also 9$

I got a great used copy for about 3 bucks on thriftbooks

Based on my experiences in English courses, that makes sense.

It's not exactly a translation, but Hughes' is probably the best.

>It's not exactly a translation
then stfu

You should literally be shot.

To be perfectly honest...

...I only read about two books a year (if that)

I just read a lot of 'Children's Editions' of classic books when I was young.

It's the best rendering of the story in English. Go learn to read Latin if you want the exact thing.

Mandelbaum (so the grape vine has told me)

As far as a translation goes, Mandelbaum and Melville are both up there to me. But I just give the edge to Melville because of the notes and because the stories are given titles

No wonder this board has really gone to shit

ill use that grape vine to ring your neck you nancy
