So how is Dickens' black sheep?
Pretty much never discussed outside of the first paragraph and the "far better thing that I do" scene. Do people still read this? Is it good?
I have had this book for four years, and can never get past the second chapter.
I'm probably missing out on a great story, but those chapters are so boring.
>>7746343
Honestly I have a hard time even understanding the first dozen pages. The book really makes me feel dumb.
>>7746317
it's a good book
What does it mean to be "well-read"?
I always saw it as somebody who has read the essential classics and other, more obscure works. But I guess it could also mean somebody who reads anything they can get their hands on, no matter how pulpy, trashy or high-brow.
When you meet someone who is, you'll know.

What does /lit/ think of DH Lawrence?
>>7746128
his prose is nice.
also if he were still around today he'd probably have a solid 20 terabytes of beastiality porn and a good 5 more of every other fetish

>also if he were still around today he'd probably have a solid 20 terabytes of beastiality porn and a good 5 more of every other fetish
Why do you think that
>>7746142
His poetry is pretty good too
>In another dissertation, he examines the theological works of Hugo, Bishop of Ptolemais, great-grand-uncle to the writer of this book, and establishes the fact, that to this bishop must be attributed the divers little works published during the last century, under the pseudonym of Barleycourt
Why is this allowed?
Fun fact, today is Hugo's birthday

Who?
Is he right? Is the Divine Comedy sci-fi?
>>7746087
Borges said the same thing, basically.
He loved Dante and he loved the Quran because it was trippy fantasy to him.
>>7746094
Wolfe said since theology is a science, The Divine Comedy is sci-fi
>>7746087
Who is spamming Wolfe threads? Like ask in one of the two already going.
Was he right?
>>7746053
He was phone.
>>7746053

Why isn't there a high quality slash fiction about grimdark erotic version of Hogwarts? Like college Hogwarts for example, but not with tongue in cheek humor.
Would there be copyright issues? I've seen LotR parodies all the time.

>high quality slash fiction about grimdark erotic version
erotic novels are pleb tier literature only made to satisfy wet dreams
>>7745986
It wouldn't need to be erotic all the way
