Hey /lit/, look at this cover - it is an old Hungarian edition of Singer's novel 'The Slave'.
Don't you think that the jew's face is simply marvelous? I mean, it looks like as if the drawer wanted to make a toptier meme content.
Also, opinions on Singer? I'm reading now Satan In Goray, and its bretty gud, plus super dank, because in the Hungarian translation the rabbi's name is spelled Benis, kek.
Benis xddd

my father recommended me that book. i was surprised to see on the internet that he's not widely read or known.
Is this book /lit/?
More importantly, is it good?
why don't you read it and find out
It's amazing. Brings together math, music and science. Heavy going at times, but well worth it.
Ok so this might be a retarded question but I can't find the answer anywhere.. Should I read the books of In Search Of Lost time in one go(without reading anything else inbetween) or is it okay if for example i'd read another novel inbetween to parts.. also how hard would it be to read it for a 20 year old?
How well have you learnt your French?

Why does /lit/ hate this guy?
gay
He writes popular books
>>7720445
It's more his fans I hate
Just that they think there's some literary and philosophical depth to him
He's just some guy who found a cushy niche
I envy his lifestyle but not his writing
What are some great books written AND set in 2005 or later?
I'm so tired of reading about the early to mid 20th century.

Is it ok to reread these as an adult?
There's a lot of talk on here about Marxism and Cultural Marxism.
I don't really know anything about Marxism past the basics. Should I read Das Kapital or is there something else I should read to get a grasp on what Marxism is all about?
Or should I just skip learning about it all together?
only read Capital if you have a decent grasp of classical political economy

Cultural Marxism is a 99% conspiratorial reading of The Frankfurt School by uneducated monkeys who truly believe that generational mass conspiracies can exist in a species as prone to gossip as this one.
As far as readings in Marxism, oxfordbibliographies will give you numerous well received peer reviewed texts.

I read the beginning where he talks about commodities and the different "values" and I understood it completely. Does it get more difficult?
A friendly reminder to take the leap, my dear anons. Yours truly, Soren.

Am I missing some sort of value in Daniil Kharms' writing? I'm about halfway through Today I Wrote Nothing, and I don't hate it but I'm not sure I get it either. I've heard he's a big influence on George Saunders, and I like Saunders a lot but Kharms just leaves me confused.

I haven't been on /lit/ for a while, why do we hate Joyce now?
>>7720793
Do we?
I like him but his humor is too vulgar for my tastes and some times he goes a little too far with his experiments.
>>7720793
We don't, and anyone that does has weapons-grade autism.
Is it a problem if your book has too many female characters in it?
No? I like women. Why wouldnt I want them in my stories?
>>7720740
I can't think of one book with too many female characters
>>7720753
I just don't want this thing to seem like some weird feminist crap.

I'm about 330 pages in. 250 more to go. I'm liking it so far, it's quite good, but I've heard East of Eden destroys this. What do you think about it?
how well do i need to know the bible to get all the allusions?
I know the stories do seem seem to stand up on their own tho
grapes of wrath is pretty badass. but yeah...east of eden is Steinbeck's best imo. definitely has the best ending of the 5-6 or so books I've read by him.
you really need to hear woody Guthrie's "dust bowl ballads" in the background while reading grapes.
although I won't spoil the ending for grapes...the ending was pretty badass and satisfying as well.
Books similar to Neuromancer?
Count Zero
Don't listen to anyone who says Snow Crash. It's not good.
