They're all bourgeois trash

If it accomplished anything, it made all the art a far more interesting study for future generations. Scratch that, it made everything in the time period a far more interesting study for future generations.

And that's all I have to say about that.

9/11 revived the Western future. From 1992-2000, the Western future died completely, replaced with stately neoliberal efficiency and effectiveness and the all-consuming feeling that the world is going to end essentially in perfection very, very soon (on a historical scale). The realization that thousands of countrymen could be slaughtered in an instant made the entire West (at least the part that matters, the U.S. and NATO) reconsider its belief that the end was near.

Some Yeats is, if you're familiar with or prepared to sketch over the run-up to the 1916 rising. September 1913 is beautiful regardless, and accessible IF you grok the context. Other stuff, eg Sailing To Byzantium, is quite beautiful but requires more involved familiarity than a wiki page. The Second Coming is heavily dependent on knowing exactly when it was written and understanding the geopolitical situation at the time (there is some bonus to be got from appreciating Yeats' own perspective on that...

I fapped to the movie.

>>7494668
Yes. It was a mediocre piece of fiction/pseudo self-help (I think).

Passable portrait of a profoundly damaged narcissist and a painfully gauche young man.

Hilariously misconstrued as a guide.

Emergency! was good.

I've read during college. It's well written.

Adler is great. He's written a book on Aristotle I might read this weekend. It's going to help me with a seminar.

>>7494675
Aristotle for everybody? Why does it sound unsafe to me?

He did As I Lay Dying already, pretty mediocre from what I've read. No point in adapting Faulkner anyway

This isn't literature. Kill yourself, Redditor. Or go to >>>/soc/ where this kind of crap belongs. Either way, you're cancer and don't belong here.

I hate how he is being demonized so hard, recently, because his works contained some offensive words in it... Our society is fucking cancerous.
