Question for you gerfags out there. I want to read the divine comedy but I don't know which German translation is the best, any recommendations?
Anyone?

reclam

Go for Reclam, if you don't mind the small fontsize
Additionally I recommend getting Berthold Wiese's Kommentar zu Dantes Göttlicher Komödie
I'm having a crisis. Before you remind me to kill myself just hear me out.
I should have graduated college this year, but I dropped out after the first semester. I lacked all the skills necessary to be a good student, and had no money for college, so I started taking out loans. Then I realized I had no idea what I wanted from college, so I freaked out and left. Now I've gotten to a point (at 24) where I've developed the work ethic needed to be a student, and I have some money saved up. But I still am not entirely sure what to go back for. My only ambition is to write, but what exactly can I do with an English or creative writing degree? Does having an MFA give you a better chance at publication? None of this seems like a good idea. I'd like to get into the publishing industry, at least so that I can have a job while writing that isn't hourly.
Should I go back to college?
>>8168379
become a programmer
>>8168379
go to your doctor and get testosterone injections first you fucking pussy
>>8168382
Never tried programming, it's what my husband does and it's working out pretty well for him. I'd like to try and learn it someday, but the point of going back to school would be to pursue my interest in literature, writing, publishing, etc.

>And they come into Bethany. And a certain woman whose brother had died was there. And, coming, she prostrated herself before Jesus and says to him, "Son of David, have mercy on me." But the disciples rebuked her. And Jesus, being angered, went off with her into the garden where the tomb was, and straightway a great cry was heard from the tomb. And going near Jesus rolled away the stone from the door of the tomb. And straightway, going in where the youth was, he stretched forth his hand and raised him, seizing his hand. But the youth, looking upon him, loved him and began to beseech him that he might be with him. And going out of the tomb they came into the house of the youth, for he was rich. And after six days Jesus told him what to do and in the evening the youth comes to him, wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. And he remained with him that night, for Jesus taught him the mystery of the kingdom of God. And thence, arising, he returned to the other side of the Jordan.[9]

Just dress how you want. It's not the Victorian era. You can wear jeans now regardless of gender.
All these needless fucking terms and yet we still only have one word for love. Smh tbqhwy family.
>book has feminist or 'progressive' themes running through it
Why would you even pick up a book like that?
This is a tumblr board, frog poster. Go back to /r9k/ or /Pol/ if you're an anti-intellectual fascist, racist, sexist, Islamophobic, cis-sexist, capitalist fucking weenie.

This is a literature board, SJW scum. Go back to tumblr or reddit if you're an anti-intellectual fascist, racist, sexist, heterophobic, progressive, communist fucking weenie.
Does something such as good gore poetry exist?
There was a German physician-poet who wrote pretty disgusting poems about surgery. I'm sure if you look at supervert's translated poetry on his website you could find this poet. I believe he belongs to the modernist period.

You're talking about Gottfried Benn? He worked in a morgue.
Der Mund eines Mädchens, das lange im Schilf gelegen hatte,
sah so angeknabbert aus.
Als man die Brust aufbrach, war die Speiseröhre so löcherig.
SchlieĂźlich in einer Laube unter dem Zwerchfell
fand man ein Nest von jungen Ratten.
Ein kleines Schwesterchen lag tot.
Die anderen lebten von Leber und Niere,
tranken das kalte Blut und hatten
hier eine schöne Jugend verlebt.
Und schön und schnell kam auch ihr Tod:
Man warf sie allesamt ins Wasser.
Ach, wie die kleinen Schnauzen quietschten!
The mouth of a girl who had long lain in the reeds
looked so chewed up.
When we broke open the torso, the esophagus was so full of holes.
Finally in a bower under the diaphragm
we found a nest of young rats.
One little sister rat lay dead.
The others were living off liver and kidney,
drinking the cold blood and enjoying
a fine childhood.
And fine and fast was their death too:
we threw the whole bunch into water.
Oh, how those little snouts squeaked!
This was comfy af senpais
Where to go next?
Norwegian Wood
nah norwegian wood will pale in comparison imo, try wind up bird chronicle, hardboiled wonderland, or 1q84
>>8168619
Norwegian wood is much better, doesn't have nonsensical lolsorandumb murakami magical realism.
Anyways you should only read murakami if you have nothing else to read
>the translator included his own dedication

I'm obsessed with books but I don't really enjoy reading
Fake it until you make it. :)
That's like being obsessed with porn but not enjoying fapping.
Well then, /lit/ is the place for you.
Just parrot things you hear others say about books, and know what agrees/disagrees with you, and insult people who like stuff that disagrees with you!
/pol/ack who gets a rise out of the pseudo-intellectuals on this board reporting.
so why do writers fuck off to third world countries to write? how does it help in any way?
being in the ever present danger of getting malaria/aids gets you on edge in a constant way that cocaine alone could never facilitate
Fuck the third world
>>8167742
>so why do writers fuck off to third world countries to write?
do you have anyone in particular in mind?
So I was watching this dank maymay Youtube video that one of you made and I was wondering, do you think Stirner's spook is related to Marx's spectre? That is to say, did Stirner or Marx come up with the term after reading the other one?
This was the video btw:
