What did he actually mean by this?
its supposed to be a really loud noise. Its literally "lightning" in a bunch of different languages "kammina" being japanese. If you are familiar with the song Finnegan's Wake then its the part where he falls off the ladder
there's an image that got posted here that blocked each letter off and said something meaningful about it.
about all I can remember is that it is the thrust-together result of many language's word for thunder, and yet is an onomatopoeia for thunder.
there's more to it, but that's the gist.

thunder I mean, not lightning. the sound of him falling from the ladder and crashing down
Poem thread time. I need to present one of my choice to a class of twenty so make it count.

I've got a fucking shelf life here.
The Divine Comedy, all of it.
In Italian, don't be a fucking pleb.
I have read Dubliners and will read Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man before I start Ulysses. But what books should I be familiar with before I start this?
>>7754226
The Iliad, Odyssey and Aenid, obviously.
>>7754226
just fucking read Ulysses.
As long as you love the sounds of words you will enjoy it.

And also, can you give me some tips of some plots or other moments in the book that I should include to make it better?
Bain?
That's a big assignment...
Bain?
I noticed this on the new arrivals shelf at the library today. I honestly never thought I'd see Martin Luther erotica.
>She was a nun of noble birth. He, a heretic, a reformer…an outlaw of the Holy Roman Empire.
>In the 16th century, nun Katharina von Bora’s fate fell no further than the Abbey. Until she read the writings of Martin Luther.
>His sweeping Catholic church reformation—condemning a cloistered life and promoting the goodness of marriage—awakened her...

is it erotica, or is it just some historical romance shit?
>>7753496
Looks like it's just a historical romance, for women who like bad boy catholic reformers.
Boy, I never get enough

Those things are just the damn tops, a bunch of phoney jokes taking an honest work about a smart young man trying to cope with the fake adult world and perverting it with vomity sex memes.

Why do you think he enjoyed her "Ass-twitcher" of a dress so much?
Use your head.

>She really did look damn good in it, though. I have to admit it. And don’t think she didn’t know it. She kept walking ahead of me, so that I’d see how cute her little ass looked...
Holy shit how did I not remember this part? What the fuck?

Just like the previous one - a selection of 100 books that /lit/ picks. I'll begin the poll with voting for The Master & Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov.

Huck Finn, Slaughterhouse 5, Forever War

Fuck off, we made one a few months ago.
why don't we read books and discuss them
I've been on a long, long hiatus from serious reading so need a good book.
I am feeling the season and I doubt I could get through any melancholia, so /lit/, show me your the best books to read in spring. Shit that cuts at the essence of life, birth, etc.

We're reading it in my Lit 2 class. I appreciate some of the rhetorical devices, but I haven't yet found it literary valuable.
>>7751591
That's a fucking nice edition. Who publishes it?
>>7751595
Yeah! The book is certainly beautiful. As are all the "props." it's published by Mulholland Books
>>7751591
It looks interesting but I'm poor af at the moment so I'm not buying it anytime soon.
Easily among the few noteworthy and influential contemporary authors.

>contemporary
Well, obviously, when you put it that way
His flabby, pale, upper arms makes him look like a troll. He should either lift or wear longer sleeves, looks totes gross.
