I like it.

If you recall Odette being a huge whore you can read it. It's literally all you need to know. Proust skips a lot of what happened between the two (I suppose he returns to it in on of the later volumes, only read the first two). It's a completely different story really, it revolves around the protagonist and his days at the beach where he looks at pretty girls

Idiot, it's even stated in the book that the Republic can never be realized, that's why it's an ideal.

Also, children riding on dogs to battle, lol, Plato was smart enough to make the whole thing a joke, but a joke one can learn from and better oneself. The book is not about statecraft, but the topic is justice, with a state as metaphor.

simulread when?

>>8233114

Just bought it today having never heard of Ford previously and it sounds like a great read, anyway my contribution to WW1 themed /lit/ since I thought of making a chart:
The Transylvania Trilogy-Banffy
Stoner-John Williams
In Search of Lost Time-Proust
Brideshead Revisited-Evelyn Waugh

It could be where WW1 is a backdrop or the lead up to it is heavily implied to affect it and everyone personally.

That would be interesting, we kind of missed the chance now when it would've been more fitting to start yesterday

Have any of you read Guzman De Alfarache?

Are you a plebiean?
If you are, yes.
If not, no.
The games are superior. Not particularly well written, but fun, gwent simulator.

Only in Polish.

Yes, good fantasy.

Belivable characters, good dialouge and witty humor. Writing quality is okay, even good considering it's genre.

Worth a read, Last Wish is short and if you like it you will like the rest too.

>do you just read the book and move on?
This.

>>8232835
>Do you just read the book and move on?

yes sometimes i write a little review for myself

Do any of you guys read out loud like Bloom recommends?

This is exactly what made it great (and what you need to make it great again)
>its cultural elite is actually schooled in uk/france/u.s.a
for now. The Romans schooled their cultural elite in Greece and Greeks themselves looked to the east for inspiration in their archaic times.

Well he's a good actor...

He would have fattened up for BBC's War and Peace if that was the case

come on people you want to pretend to be sincere christians so atleast talk about it

We can't say for sure, OP. If he genuinely loved the Lord and Jesus and had the willingness and desire to repent, even though he may have fallen short, I think he'll be in Heaven. Ultimately, it's God's decision and not mine. Only God knows the hearts of man.

When was that picture taken? I want to know which books he wrote as a fatfuck so I can avoid them.

Listen its decent but there is a lot of awkwardness in just the two first paragraphs that will get you fisted by some /lit/ members.

I don't know context of the whole book, but unless the repetition is intentional, its not needed.

Second sentence you see her mother say she is going to be late for college.

Then college is referenced 1/4 of the way into the whole excerpt.

Then college is referenced again at the end.

Just reference college once. I don't know if that bugs other people but it really bugged me.

Either have the mom...

It's not very good. Several misuses of punctuation. The observations of the scene seem very forced; it's not set up very well. I agree with the poster above too. The repetition made it obnoxious.

I really fucking hope this is a troll, this is fucking terrible. I'm glad someone already seems to have replied and explained to you why it's terrible, but I wanted to just say straight up that this is awful before I read the reply just in case this is bait.
