Nah mang, I'm engaged. I'm curious to see if meeting /lit/ posters in real life will be like listening to the verbal equivalent of shitposting.

I would if I didn't live on the opposite side of the country.

If you bought into the meme that genre fiction is not worth reading, you are probably already beyond saving.

>>7811663

I'm not. Rec shit.

Oxford is good and unexpensive. Hackett is a little bit more expensive but is also more scholarly. Don't know about the Penguin, but wouldn't trust it when you can access the other too. I have the Oxford one, I like it, although if I could I'd buy the Hackett edition.

>>7811569
cheers anon

the Hackett one seems to be definitive in content with the Latin additions - I think it's completely modernized in language with extensive citations/glossary etc.

Oxford apparently is too, but I heard a reviewer saying it kept anachronisms like "thou" and so on, if I were going to choose the cheaper one with the bonus of original language, I'd rather go all the way with it rather than some inbetween

sorry if I'm rambling a bit, it's pretty late here

>>7811611
so oxford is the way to go?

Which one will be cooler to show your young, book-loving nephews and nieces in 20 or 30 years?

/lit/ - muh materialism

he could be asking because of potential typos and print errors 2bh

no one non-fiction here
/lit/ is only plebs and fags

I find that I like the idea of reading and studying textbooks (or any rigorous didactic nonfiction) more than the reality of actually doing it.

>>7811886
reading textbooks doesn't make you cool or smart. Textbooks are for passing a course, not getting to the truth of anything

you're just a pretentious faggot

what did you like about it?

If you want more like Dune, read its sequels I guess.

>>7811383
Only the sequels Herbert wrote. The rest is fanfic, and not even good fanfic.

I really liked the world building and coming of age story with Paul. Liked the Fremen culture and stuff.

It was 10x better than Ender's Shadow, that is for sure.

A Month in Sweden: A Day By Day of Islam and Multiculturalism

Start with the Qu-ran

The Dwarf by Pär Lagerqvist is great. August Strindberg is great, too.

>pretty good, I understand why it's memed so much here but I still like it. I've been reading it very slowly and I think it will take me a long time to finish
>kafka's complete stories or no one writes to the colonel

>>7811306
>Ulysses
>Almost done with it though. I'll read Molly's monologue tonight. It's undoubtedly a masterpiece. I never thought a novel could be so great and inventive at the same time. I feel like I should reread with supplemental material later.
>I have Mason & Dixon, Lolita and Blood Meridian to read, not sure which one I should pick up first.
