/QTDDTOT/ - Questions that don't deserve their own thread

How should I start with Shakespeare's histories?

I've only read Gredos translations and think they're great. Also, very useful footnotes, introductions and other anotations. Would recommend.

You should look for crit or critique threads like: . If there are none start one yourself

Thank you. Not sure how I managed to miss that thread earlier.

It seemed like a minority of people participating, and didn't really catch on as a collaborative board project. To me anyway.

Where do I find Veeky Forums friends who aren't SJWs? I'm a socialist but I am sick of all the moral righteousness and PC obsession of today's Leftist youth
i just want to hang out with people who are passionate about art wihtout making everything political

good luck with that, best bet is to find some sanderist democrats of proletarian origin or maybe some bourgeois trotskyists who are comfy but can still throw down a mean class analysis if the mood is right

Right here, friend :^)

Chapo house folk I guess, though they also irritate me

Who am I?

I have one of the first printings, never read it apart from the mde and zizek erotica segments

Look for žižekfags

Zizek looks as though he is really, really smelly.

What Pynchon book should I read after GR? Preferably one that is a little less complicated in terms of prose/language, for a non native English speaker.

Inherent Vice is easy to read.

A game.

Late, already ordered CoL49

If my short story gets published in a magazine, can I still include it in a collection and send it to another publisher afterwards?

Depends on the magazine and whether or not they actually bought the rights. My guess is that you cannot publish it elsewhere. Read the terms and conditions of submission.

War of the Roses series in order if you really like Shakespeare

Roman histories if you just want blood

where do i start with Borges? Collected fictions is too expensive in my country.

His first major collection Ficciones or his famous collection Labyrinths are both standard choices.

Thanks. I'll go with Ficciones then.

Is Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene worth the effort?

The Aleph is quite good too and in my opinion easier than certain parts of Ficciones.

whos the qt

I read parts of Aleph on a snowy mountainous honeymoon with my wife some years ago. She left me within 6 months after that because i couldn't understand it. That was the trigger, not joking.

It took me 6 years to gather courage to pick up Borges again. I don't mind difficulty now. I'm already half-dead. Vive l'amour.

come hang out on /leftypol/ my friend

Imo the quintessential Renaissance text in this language; unfairly underread nowadays. Tough but worth it.

I would but the board is so slow

Please rank the philosophers you've read from easiest to hardest

How good of an understanding will I get of Jung's work from Man and His Symbols? Do I need to go deeper?

No philosophy is that difficult. Having a good brain is.

Where can I buy hardcover French language books? I only ever find paperbacks.

who's this gobblin' goblin?

What did he mean by this?

You don't, your the equivalent of a dinosaur, extinct. We're living in a time where conservatives are having educated discussion with actual depth and compromise and the Academic left-wing elite are howling at each other like baboons, what a time to be alive.

>Where do I find Veeky Forums friends who aren't SJWs?
right wing circles.

the left is done.

Where do I start when it comes to roman literature? I have not read anything and I am not sure where to start

Right Wing youth are just as if not more political. They can't enjoy a piece of art if it signals to them anything left of center

sure they're political, but not sjws. you can at least speak your mind around them without trigger warnings.

Is it true people in Alaska wear hats with lights so they don't get depressed?

Which one of you fucking fag cucks told her to kill herself?

I'm coming for you assholes!

What language do i need to know before read The Finneagains Wake?

The only language that matters, American Standard English.

all

quebec

I have been playing video games my whole life and I'm kind of sick of them at this point. I want to pretty much drop them entirely and pick up reading. The problem is I have no fucking clue what to read. What the hell should I read? Please no Greek memes.

depends what you like.

if you want a book suggestion, I just finished reading With The Old Breed At Peleliu And Okinawa and it was very good. easy read too.

ehm

*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAP*

Should I read them in order (i.e. Richard II - Henry V) or does it not matter?

doesn't really matter but might as well

The Iliad just The Iliad the fucking Iliad its practically a videogame and has more action in it than most other classics. Plus it can be read as a treatise on the morality of the gods' interference with the world of men and Achilles is quite the deconstruction of a Classical Greek hero when looking at it in retrospect

I read mostly just Chinese Xianxia novels which are basically just RPGs

Stop fucking saying this. "The Iliad has action dude so it's a great start!" Yeah, it has action, and it also has narrative choices that are unfamiliar for the modern reader, and it also has a whole history and mythology knowledge hurdle. People should start with something accessible and entry-level (like the stuff in the sticky), not the fucking Iliad.

does anyone know where i can find JMR lenz translated to english? all i can find is a questionable paperback of the tutor and a 30 dollar primer

no, that would be silly. why would you move to alaska if you don't want to be depressed anyway?

it really, really depends on what you want to get out of it. there are different lists for historical knowledge, literary knowledge, philosophy, entertainment, etc.

The Iliad is not to hard for beginners at all..Honestly if you can't figure out the mythology and history just by reading the intro and having a grade school education, you're a brainlet. I mean that seriously

I said who, not what.

Is there a Veeky Forums Discord server, and if there is why have I not been invited to it yet?

The Iliad, especially the Fagles translation, is babby tier difficulty. You don't need to read anything before it.

why do people say gr and ij are hard to read
they are just long

The Magus John Fowles

What's the best grammar and syntax bible? I'm hoping for something like "When You Catch An Adjective, Kill It", but more comprehensive and encyclopedic.

Ive read depressing lit before, but I'm halfway through Dubliners (just through the story of the man who gets reproached at work, pawns his watch to drink with friends, the goes home to beat his child). This is the most depressing dark thing I've read. I don't often see people refer to it as that, so I'm curious to others thoughts on the matter. A Little Cloud destroyed me as well

>Still reading Eliot

Does anyone have any good refutations or reconsiderations of R.A.W's prometheus rising? Im looking more for such on the prior half of the book, and not the more bogus latter half. Although his terminology is wack, I can't help but agree with the first four circuits

What does Veeky Forums think of Library of America subscription service? Or just their series in general?
Good for beginners?

I'm not even saying it's hard, I'm saying that it's a hurdle. It's an easy hurdle to overcome, but if your goal is to ease people into literature, then you should recommend something more accessible. You should assume that you're dealing with people who have almost no patience or experience.

Anyway this conversation has been had a million times so whatever

Look up Eliot's life at the time and maybe it'll make more sense.

If there was water, but there is none

what is wrong with pragmaticism?

Nothing

What's wrong with Longfellow's translation of Dante? Reading reviews online, he seems very reliable.

There has to be something wrong with it.

IMPORTANT: should I put maple syrup on my hash browns?

Only if you have no tastebuds or brainstem.

I added salt. Plenty of it.

...

what the fuck is wrong with your arm

that is the mark of a 3rd degree chemical burn I got in a 2nd year chem lab. Also, I have freckles.

Because you obviously need to lurk more

What are some good books for getting to know gnosticism

Does Beowulf fight Grendel's mother underwater? Or is it in a cavern with a pocket of air?
