hello is there such thing as an ancient greek pantheon bible?

Isn't that literally what Esiodus's Theogonia is all about?
>>8259820
Mm, dat ass.
>>8259820
Hesiod's Theogony is about the cycles of creation and the different eras of gods and titans. Probably what you're looking for, but more incomplete than you would probably like.
can anyone help me identify these 2 books?
and this one
>>8259829
fuck you old man
Ugggggh lit, that's another book down which was unreadable. Let me run you buy what I've dropped so far.
La Bas - J K Huysmans
Notes From Underground - Fyordor Dostoyevsky
Nausea - Jean-Paul Sartre
1984 - George Orwell
A Picture of Dorian Grey - Oscar Wilde
The Marble Swarm - Dennis Cooper (this is the latest one I dropped)
I gave all of these a fair shot, but I just can't stand the writing style, I find it so tedious. I especially hated The Marble Swarm. Dennis Cooper's narrative style where his character is constantly referring to his own writing (the narrator is supposedly writing this book stream of consciousness as you read it, and is happy to remind you of this).
I just want something that's actually readable, I hated reading all of these books.

Maybe look for some books under the category 'Young Adults'
>Notes from Underground
Yes, it's a challenge to read a 130 page novella.
if he killed himself would he end up as highly regarded as dfw?

>>8259782

>>8259801

Writing makes you a better writer
>>8259755
that's not what I asked
>>8259743
Smoking what? Weed? Nah, lowers your attention span and aesthetic standards.

There's one already up. There's literally no need to start a new one in Spanish.
In other words, chinga tu madre, mequetrefe.

Why was Miss Coldfield such an unlikable cunt? Do you think that's what Faulkner intended?
Thomas Sutpen was based.
I haven't finished it yet.
i haven't started yet. still working on Light in August
I thought that was the point? That she was a bitter lady who was overly proud and felt like life screwed her over. Because of that bitterness she twisted the story of Stupen to fit her bitter narrative.
what's good reading music?
I'm probably going with pic related for now I can't think of anything better

What the fuck is wrong with you?
I shouldn't judge though, I'm sure a nice picture book pairs well with some Thugger.

Are there any good books about war that aren't anti-war but rather talk about the routine and the camaraderie between soldiers? Something similar to the general feeling of generation kill
Ernst Jünger
Beetle Baily by Mort Walker
For Whom The Bell Tolls by Hemmingway
The Good Soldier Svejk by Jaroslav Hasek (sorta anti-war, but it's not all up in your face about it)
kind of anti war, but anti war by focusing on camaraderie
Catch 22 (one of those love it or hate it things)
Going after Cacciato
I'm reading canterbury tales, and while some of the tales I enjoy immensely, others just go right over my head and I have to rely on the commentaries for most of my understanding of them. (note: I'm reading it in middle english not adapted etc)
I guess my question is, what is /lit/'s opinion on reading books not at your level? Does it make you a pseud, or is it worth it anyways just for how good some of the books are?
bump
You're not gonna get every single detail in a single reading. Don't worry, you can always reread later.

Which tales did you like?
>It was the furthest thing in the world from the rosy-fingered dawn of poetry and old Technicolor movies; this was an anti-dawn, damp and as pale as the cheek of a day-old corpse.
"Very like leaves
upon this earth are the generations of men—
old leaves, cast on the ground by wind, young leaves
the greening forest bears when spring comes in."
—Siéntate, Montag. Observa. Delicadamente, como pétalos de una flor. Cada una se convierte en una mariposa negra. Hermoso, ¿verdad? Enciende la tercera página con la segunda y así sucesivamente, quemando en cadena, capítulo por capítulo, todas las cosas absurdas que significan las palabras, todas las falsas promesas, todas las ideas de segunda mano y las filosofías estropeadas por el tiempo.
