Is this series worth checking out? At 4,250 pages its a pretty large investment.
I read it when I was in highschool.
I greatly enjoyed it, however I have only read it once, which says a lot, considering I have read other sagas I enjoy at least 5 times.
The ending will piss you off.
Go fucking read it.

MESSAGE TO GARCIA! OORAH DEVILDAWGS!
Anyways, if anybody is interested in the Korean war I highly recommend The Coldest Winter by David Halberstam.
Six Frigates by Ian Toll is a great primer on the early history of the US Navy, not only does it cover the military aspects it also covers the politics of the time.

What does /lit/ think about John Rawls and Theory of Justice?
Is redistribution of wealth and equal opportunity worth attempting to reach?
There is no justice apart from God's will, and Heaven is a kingdom not a democracy.
>>7401594
Rawls acknowledges this flaw in political liberalism, how the idea of the original position only works when society decides to be secular. But, with secularism rising, doesn't Rawl's model work for the future?
Any notion of justice that departs from justice as an institution to deter criminal activity is bullshit and dangerous. An injustice cannot come from a spontaneous order, it must be a deliberate act by an individual. Rawls's idea is basically a blank check for increasing government power.
So, this is what happens when an autistic Redditer writes a novel?

>So, this is what happens when an autistic Redditer writes a novel?
And autistic /lit/zens save thumbnails of the cover
I got this book excited to read what everyone was raving about. I should have noticed something was amiss when reddit was praising it.
You described it perfectly. The humor is so fucking cringeworthy and bad.

What does /lit/ think of "Lolita"? I personally love it. Nabokov is excellent.
Newfriend :DKILL YRSELF
/lit/ thinks that since it's a meme book it's bad. it's not. 10/10.
nabokov is easily top 20 writers of the 20th century. they just never bothered to read anything else.
his short stories are quite amazing and no one reads them.

(For those of you that leave the house) How do you go about finding a muse? I find that my best work comes when I'm inspired by or around another creative.
I just had a guy come in and lay down a load of muse traps for me.

this amuses me
Just finished reading this and I need to talk about it.
What a ride!
This is best book I've ever read. Don't know why I didn't read it years ago since I've pretty much read almost all his major works. Maybe I was afraid to be let down... I feel so stupid now.
Anyway, many parts of this book blew me away, but first lets discuss why do you think Dimitri is the best Karamaov.
alyosha obviously best karamazov who the fuck are you kidding
Ivan could beat up both
Does someones have that image with writers accesibility levels?
It's like pic related but writers.
>>7401045
is this the meme?
>>7401054
No, the image is exactly like the one i posted but writers appear instead of directors.
James Joyce is the last level if i'm not wrong.
This one?
how do i write poetry?
i don't understand what makes a piece of poetry better than others.

When we point out to you that this is a blue board, that doesn't mean that kind of blue, it means 'blue' as in 'not red'.
Just vomit a bunch of vague sentence fragments. It's not that hard.
>>7401003
You have to want something.
