Maby his books are just deeper than we expect. This paragraph about shitting might refer to our human nature and or unsatisfiable desires.
>>7833296
Why would you think a book called Lord of the Flies would be about a nice tropical vacation?
>>7833296
>>7833404
Initially, I was imagining a romanticized type of tropical paradise. I read it back in high-school, and had no clue what it was really about
>>7833504
>taking lit memes seriously
Are you that autistic, are don't you understand that it ruins the joke if your expectations are the same as the book itself?
>>7833512
Well the Tractatus one worked
>>7834265

>>7833445
>Welcome, It's great to have you with us
holy shit this is spot on
also the wine should be pouring on the ground, not in a glass
>>7834993
what?
Did they even have corn back then?
>>7834265
you just need to add the word 'and' to the final slot and this will be complete
>>7833445
Huh?
That's what I expected too.
You make it seem like Eat, Pray, Love or some shit.
It's about what?
Women drinking wine at sunset?
When I see 'including introduction/notes/annotation' on any fucking book cover I just go 'pass' or see if somebody has made a film of it that isn't 3 hours plus...
>>7833445
The Iliad has analogies of farmers chasing mountain lions.
The Odyssey has Rosie fingered dawn.
What's the Aeneid's equivalent?
>>7835181
the bits in the 'got' section are usually not the core of the text itself, rather they are the stupid banalities which end up recurring over and over in the text
he's saying that he got a lot more of wine, dawn, and 'welcomes' than he expected
>>7834993
Every time.
>>7833081
>>7833641
wait, shit, seems like I need to read it after all.

Absolutely shit book. Jesus christ what a waste of time
>>7838164

/lit/ hates it
>>7837035
so you don't understand Plato? To bad for you, faggot
>>7837035

>>7837036

>>7834992
you didn't understdand the idea of the book
>>7837035
That's not right at all, instead it should just be
> Yes, Socrates
> Yes, Socrates
> But of course, Socrates
> Yes, Socrates
> Undoubtedly, Socrates
>>7838948
Welcoming new heroes I'm guessing, though I didn't read it
>>7838554
It is good.
>>7834993
7/10
>>7836285
exactly how I felt
it's overall 8/10,was spoopy at the beginning
>>7838455
for me it was to much namedropping.
>Oh you don't know this game? I will tell you about it then. Oh you haven't heard about this american sitcom? well, let me tell you.
I kinda got the feeling that it was written by Moviebob
>>7838915
That actually seems like a good book
>>7839333
>written by moviebob
Souds epik
>>7838542
It is pure gold. The man who wrote was essentially a lazy, brawling, drinking bastard who brought shame to his family throughout his youth and when he wrote his memoirs tried to sound like it was a mistake and people should learn a moral from his misdeeds, but you can tell he actually doesn't give a shit and it comes across as "Damn, those were the days."
>>7840039
It is.
>>7839011
yes i did
>>7836687
needs more
>Narc!
>>7838948

Shit that was going to be next on my string of Cyberpunk books. I guess I'll just read Neuromancer instead
First book
>Oh this is a really cool story
>Well that was a bit sad but it worked out
Second book
>This is fucking amazing. WAIT NO FUCK YOU
>"and then it gets worse"
3rd book
>This is a bit average but I like the cowboy story's
>DAMMIT CORMAC LET THEM BE HAPPY
>>7837957
This one's funny.
>>7834993
I'm absolutely laughing my ass off at the absurdity of this image. Anyone with even the faintest knowledge of history would know that the "corn" that Caesar speaks of in Commentaries On The Gallic War is not the corn that we in the west are familiar with, but is rather a poor translation for the word "grain" which in Latin is "Frumentum"
Myself and many others who have read the commentaries would know what you're trying to refer to with your image but it's wrong. Unless of course you were already aware of this and you are posting this ironically. In which case I commend you for your post but it's still blatantly wrong. I would have gone with a collage of images of wheat instead.
7/10

HOC EST PASTA OBSOLETA
>>7845885
Fuck your stale pasta, it's not a "poor translation from the Latin", it's only Americans who get it wrong. What do you idiots think barleycorn is?
>>7833081
I might read Bridge on Kwai now I loved the film
>>7845934
half barley, half corn obviously
>>7844717
AVOID. Serious waste of time.

Every time I see someone refer to bananas in Gravity's Rainbow I automatically assume they tried reading it and gave up after the second chapter, because that's literally the only chapter that mentions bananas. And if the rocket is only in Expected, there's no doubt in my mind you never read it.
>>7842209
Jesus Christ anon there are two chapters in the book devoted solely to those things
>>7842330

What should I first read by Hegel? I tried to read a chapter from the Phenomenology of Spirit; and another from his book on art. Is it better to read Hegel from start to finish, or what?
>>7833288
nicely done
>>7835154
w-what?
>>7848581
You should first of all read Plato.

Totally

Hi. Im reading that book now. It helps me a lot to have read certains authors who share some of his ideas. In my case, Bataille (mostly his essays "Hegel, death and sacrifice" and "Hegel, man and history), Foucault and Sarmiento. You'll find similarities over their works.
