Would anybody be able to help e grasp the concept of dualism and how it pertains to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. I'm writing a research paper over it and would really appreciate the help.

I like Pasternak's book adaptation.

I think P/V is fine in a lot of cases and /lit/ overreacts/memes about their deficiencies too much, but I think this (along with Master and Margarita) are cases where P/V is the objectively inferior choice.
Go with the original Harari/Hayward translation.
Has anyone watched the Infinite Jest movie starring Jason Segel?
Yes, I actually really loved it!
Totally recommend.
It's garbage. Didn't capture well DFW at all.
Touching film with a great performance by Segel, who completely outweighed that obnoxious Jew Eisenberg's performance. Went in expecting to hate it and left with a stolen redbox dvd.

/lit/ could use a new sticky, so let's create one.
A good sticky is short; ideally only a few lines containing the basic ground rules for the board and a handful of helpful links to guides and other resources. An eye-catching image is essential, and ideally you'd want something that embodies the spirit & culture of the board.
I'll present a first draft in this thread as a starting point, then people can make suggestions and offer criticism. After a few hours I'll post a new draft incorporating some of the changes that posters have suggested, and let people have another opportunity to make suggestions. Once we have a final draft for the sticky, I'll post it as a separate thread and leave this thread open for a while just in case there are any typos/errors or any last minute suggestions.
Please try to be constructive, and try to keep arguments and off-topic posts to a minimum, please.

All in favour of DFW photo say aye
Also can we put I footnote somewhere in the text for the sake of cheeky banter
Here's /his/'s sticky, just for reference purposes.
>This board is dedicated to the discussion of history and the other humanities such as philosophy, religion, law, classical artwork, archeology, anthropology, ancient languages, etc. Please use /lit/ for discussions of literature. Threads should be about specific topics, and the creation of "general" threads is discouraged.
>For the purpose of determining what is history, please do not start threads about events taking place less than 25 years ago. Historical discussions should be focused on past events, and not their contemporary consequences. Discussion of modern politics, current events, popular culture, or other non-historical topics should be posted elsewhere. General discussions about international culture should go on /int/.
>/his/ is not /pol/, and Global Rule #3 is in effect. Do not try to treat this board as /pol/ with dates. Blatant racism and trolling will not be tolerated, and a high level of discourse is expected. History can be examined from many different conflicting viewpoints; please treat other posters with respect and address the content of their post instead of attacking their character.
>When discussing history, please reference credible source material, and provide as much supporting information as possible in your posts.
Sidenote: This might be the best opportunity to really hash out how /lit/ handles humanities topics post-split.
Why don't you study the science of pataphysics?
>>7621122
Because I am not a pretentious hipster that thinks they are superior to others for discovering pataphysics and the oulipo when, in fact, that shit is passe and dull
>French philosophy
because I don't know french.

4. The Holy Bible
5. A Piece of the Sun; it's about Fusion energy
6. A Very Short Introduction: Fascism
7. King Lear
8. A MidSummer's Night Dream
9. Dostoyevsky's Demons

>He found a line and pulled on it, fighting toward the hatch to get himself below out of the storm, but a gust of wind knocked his feet from under him and a second slammed him into the rail and there he clung. Rain lashed at his face, blinding him. His mouth was full of blood again. The ship groaned and growled beneath him like a constipated fat man straining to shit.

Is it necessary to have read Kant's epistemology to understand his ethics?
>>7631262
yes
>Shakespeare was actually written by Bacon/Marlowe/de Vere/Queen Elizabeth/my cousin
Is this some weird inside joke, or do people actually believe this?
it's a sign of fucking misogynoir
evidence is irrefutable that pic related wrote shakespeare
>>7631229
Why do you keep posting this shit every time women or nonwhites are brought up on /lit/?
You'd be among similar-minded people on /pol/

>>7631167
spoil the ending for me please. I did not like the way the book ended.
Pretty sure it already had a play. Hope they don't butcher the story that much.
Some scenes should be pretty nice to watch.
the part where 1000 Mexican women get murdered one after another will probably be difficult to watch. that is a lot of actresses.
Well? She needs an answer for her novella
