What is the single most well written book?

>rhyming in italian is basically cheating
???

Please explain.

everything rhymes with spaghetti or oregano.

Veeky Forums will hate me but I genuinely think 1984

A lot of times when I'm reading philosophy or a novel moments of poignance come after brief ambiguity or overly verbose explanations of concepts.

Orwell wrote that shit on like a 4th grade level and made me genuinely intrigued and emotionally in-tune. He did what takes philosophers a million caveats through frameworks of obscurity and sesquipedalian obfuscation by simply narrating the lives of farm animals and average people.

Ada, or Ardor

OP asked for a single book - make a decision you idiot

Stoner.

For Whom the Bell Tolls (English)
The Sorrows of Young Werther (Deutsch)

The Shadow Of The Wind-Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Pretty good answer, even if it's meme tier around here. I think Augustus is even better. You should try it.

My Twisted World - Elliot Rodger

the bible

The picture of Dorian Gray

>the book
what book

It's a comfy read.

Probably A Clockwork Orange, the droog-speak shit was really skillfully written for what it was. It's one thing for a writer to talk in English but it's something else for them to convey in a different language.

We should invent a language in which words can only end in 10-20 ways so it's incredibly easy to rhyme. A language just for poetry with a lot of added adjectives for all the subtle differences that can exist.

Wouldn't tolkien win the language award?

...

The Cantos of Ezra Pound

...Ulysses? I mean, 17 years y'all.

advise a simple book to learn English

17 years was FW

War and Peace.
Very simple to read but also emotional and intriguing.

I think this is subjective. For me it's Lolita.

MDD

Mistakes of the subhumans. They immediately interpret the idea of subjectivity as giving them free reign to support any viewpoint that they want, no matter how incoherent, ignorant and wretched. Sure, the ant too has its own perspective of things, and therefore its own subjective reality, but who gives a shit about the reality of an ant? The greater the man the greater — and hence the more objective — his perspective, and therefore the idea of subjectivity does not undermine the absolute rule of inequality in the universe but is precisely the mechanism by which it comes about.

>The greater the man the greater — and hence the more objective — his perspective

The greater the man the greater - and hence the more greenish-blue - his perspective

boo hiss

LOL, i read this in the voice of luna lovegood

What?

Probably Wuthering Heights for the beautiful description of human nature.

>romanticism
>description of human nature
>human
Don't you mean nature, as in landscapes?

The Sound and The Fury, easily.

The Great Transformation: The Political and Economic Origins of Our Time - Polanyi

Is this the most pseudointellectual answer possible?

Esperanto
Make sure you end each couplet with the same type of word and you're golden

Problem lad?

underrated post

Unironically, this language is Farsi. It feels like it's designed for poetry only it's not constructed shit like Esperanto.

Read Crime and Punishment you fucking normie. There is no "Greater man"

Crime and punishment is hands down the greatest book I've ever read.

Disbelief in God is merely the logical conclusion of socialism (which is to say of Christianity, which is to say of ressentiment). From the variety of gods and the hierarchy between them of the pagans, to the single God before whom all lifeforms are equal of Christianity and the other decadent religions, and finally to the modern socialistic impulse to get rid of even that single God, because there still remains that pesky little problem that this God is not equal to the lifeforms he created, and hence by all means must be made so (so that these lifeforms will feel better about themselves and cease hating and envying him), by ceasing to be God. The dethroning of even God himself is the final act of their revenge on the strict hierarchy and order of rank that permeates existence (that is indeed existence itself).

Dostoevsky may not be a socialist, but he -is- a Christian.

>so that these lifeforms will feel better about themselves and cease hating and envying him

Matthew 5:48
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Can someone please explain 'desu' to me? I took a break from Veeky Forums for the last year or so and it seems like its all over Veeky Forums not and I only remember it from ancient /b/ threads. What word or phrase can I substitute in to understand its use?

Good book but I don't think it's the best every written. Easily his best tho

It's a wordfilter for a commonly used abridged version of "to be honest" desu

...

Currently reading it. I enjoyed As I Lay Dying more but God damn if this novel isn't written well. He doesn't just shift the narrative between characters, it's a full-blown paradigm shift.

thank you

Desu is Japanese. It means "to be" and is placed at the end of sentences. Examples:
Kore wa pen desu - This is a pen
(Watashi wa) user desu - I am user

It was often misused by dweebs on Veeky Forums in the early days, to sound cute or something, just added randomly at the end of sentences even if it didn't make sense. It's basically a meme.

Recently it was added as a wordfilter replacement for t-b-h (without the minuses), just like f-a-m which is replaced with sempai.

It's a japchink word stapled on the end of statement sentences to show they are statements.
"that is" is the best translation, or how teenage girls put t b h at the end of their sentences.
Also, it rhymes with race, think dayce or day-SS with lots of stress on the snakey bit

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT
Japanese doesn't conjugate verbs according to person?!?!??!?

Yeah, it's the same for all subjects.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_verb_conjugation

What you read is not The Bible as it was written.

Not even close.

KJV has beautiful language I admit.

It's a crying shame that the subject matter underwhelms the presentation.
