He was, is, and probably always will be the best. So why the fuck are you reading anything else? Just read him over and over and over. Reading anything else is meaningless.
shakespeare stole all of his work from a black slave womyn. her name? anita sarkeesian

Shakespeare isn't even a good storyteller. The Tempest is his only good play.

How to get into /lit/?
I think it would be a good idea to read the high-school tier classics like Gatsby and TKAM before starting with the Greeks. After the Greeks I would continue with philosophy and branch out into other classic literature at the same time.
Does this sound like a good plan?
I've already read some YA and genre trash so I have a good vocab and speed.
What are some good entry level books to read? I'm thinking the Catcher in the Rye first, but I'd like advice and suggestions for other books.
you should start by reading the sticky.
reading something because you think you should read it because it's mandatory is silly
also >>8056587
The Great Gatsby is not a bad idea to get. But you should also get Critical Theory Today: A User Friendly Guide, it teaches literary theory/criticism using The Great Gatsby.
Is engineering physics or just plain physics the better degree? Is engineering physics a meme? Is physics a shitty degree if one doesn't want to be a high school teacher?

Do you know how to read, you absolute fucking retard? Do you think you're on board for giving life advice?
Here's a practical tip: don't study physics. Go back to preschool, learn how to read, learn to FOLLOW DIRECTIONS, and never post on this board again, scum

I hope you mistakenly posted this here. No one here knows about this probably.

Is there a difference between philosophy and the arts?
Philosophy is peddled by charlatans, it has no artistic merit whatsoever.
Undergraduates will disagree.
Philosophy is a word that describes everything epic and cool that only I understand because I have a measured IQ of 240.
Philosophy invented science and medicine and any philosopher could easily cure cancer or create quantum computers but they don't even try because they have more important things to do like discuss the virtue of epistemically demarcated ontology and noncognitive morality.
Could you imagine a world without philosophers?
How would you get to school in the morning if it weren't for the hermeneutics of transcendent metaphysical permutations?

do you prefer ebooks or physical books? are ereaders the future of literature or are they just a meme? ebook prices are generally terrible (usually only a dollar or two price difference between the physical and digital version) and it feels scummy pirating everything i read.
>it feels scummy pirating everything i read.
Hoh boi, you done been spooked
you have access to almost all the good literature ever written for the mere cost of a kindle. that is something very few people in the history of mankind have had. and you are throwing it away because of capitalism.
>>8056399
I would prefer the physical book, but dealing with 3 week shipping for thrift books, my tiny New Hampshire library network where I have to wait 2 weeks to get an NYRB release from Dartmouth library, or paying top dollar for amazon books is fucking annoying; id rather just use btdigg or libgen and building a calibre library is fun for me.

books are shite
I became an avid reader like three months ago and I can't stop. I stopped watching tv and I don't spend much time on 4chan anymore.
Here's how I did it.
-Remember the average person reads like zero books a year. If you read 5 pages a day, you are 5 pages above the average person
-Don't force yourself to read. Commit to read 5 pages a day. I swear after three days you'll feel like reading more and after a month or so you should be reading 50-100 pages a day for pleasure
-Read various books at the same time. When I grab a difficult...

If Brave New World is literature, then so is this.
Is it because you don't think science fiction is legitimate?
