I liked all of their Dostoevsky translations so I figured it was worth picking up. I've been meaning to read AK for a long time so I probably would have grabbed it no matter who TL'd it. I read a few pages in the middle and everything seemed fine.
But damn you! Now that you've planted the idea in my head I'm going to be more critical.
>>7879527
>>7879686
Most of what you hear that is "negative" is just being people contrarian. Their translations from Dostoyevksy are great, from what I've read (The Idiot, The Double). I've read multiple other translators too, and I personally like all I have come across. I actually did some comparisons from the Russian through google translate to some other translations. P&V was the closest to a literal translation.
>>7879707
Oh yea, pic related, recent purchases.

Some faggots on this board obviously can't into non-fiction. More power to you for being curious.
The last time I bought a book, it was a huge volume of the works of Hans Christian Andersen.
I love fairy tales - I also have one of Brothers Grimm tales.
But when I was a kid, I had a whole collection of fairy tale volumes, and for the life of me I can't find one similar. I recovered most of them with these two collection volumes, but I'm missing tons of stories I enjoyed - A Tale of Two Frogs, I think, was about two frogs, one journeying from Kyoto and one journeying from Osaka traveling past each other, decide that if they hold onto each other and look over the other frog's shoulder, they can see the other city and decie if they want to go. But since frogs' eyes are on the back of their heads, they become enraged that their destinations look exactly like the city they came from, and end up going home.
There were tons of stories like that in addition to fairy tales from both HCA and the Brothers Grimm. I'd love to know where I can get some like that.
>>7879682

Setting Sun is better then No Longer Human. Don't let lit or the critics tell you otherwise

How so? I'm about to read No Longer Human.

Trainspotting is so good. I find it interesting how you get used to the vernacular and then just read it as normal.
This book ABSOLUTELY AND IRREVOCABLY BTFO's Marx and Marxism. If you are still a Marxist, get this book so you can move on with your life.
>>7882130
I have a phd in maths, just read the phil out of interest.
Probably a lot of it will be over my head.
Just bought Franzen's Purity. Hope it's good the last novel I read left me underwhelmed.

Reposting because an anon recommended me more OE shit and in doing so told me to pick up Liuzza's translation of Beowulf over Heany's. I know Heany is shit but I'm still waiting to hear why Liuzza is to be preferred because the previous thread died.
>>7885151
Hello, im the anon that recommended the other OE stuff. I recommend Liuzza, because his translation is a lot more literal than H eaney's. Heaney takes quite a bit more creative liberty with the original text, and he incorporated certain Irish terms and words that dont really have any presence in the original language. Heaney's translation is by no means awful, its just that Liuzza maintains the integrity of the original text a bit more.

This beauty. I love it.

I own a paperwhite and I've come to love hardcopies. I love showing off, and I don't value my memory enough to remember what was inside a book without the physical copy to remind me. Exceptions are Plato and Joyce's Dubliners.
>>7885437
I used to buy copies, but this is much more practical, especially for reading large novels and those not available here
>>7885464
Ah, yeah, for reading outside, I'll always go for the Kindle. I hate reading a physical book in public - especially as a lot of what I read (as I imagine a lot of what you and the rest of lit reads) is literary fiction/classical/really pretentious - the heaviest label being the third. Hate being judged for what I enjoy, so I just opt for the kindle.
>>7885485
I really like having physical copies of books with end notes, like annotated classics etc. Footnotes / endnotes just don't work well for me on my Kobo Glo.
>>7885485
I used to read lit stuff in public and the only person who ever cared was a 75+ year old communist who talked with me about Hegel and Aquinas.
I don't really care for what x will think of me if he sees me with Dostoevsky or whatever, it's just that this is easier in mass and has perfect dimensions and opens up tons of Anglo authors unknown here. I could read more Wolfe, Belloc, Newman, Feser and having Plato's discography in a pocket is incredibly handy.

Some German store via Abebooks. It's pretty annoying to buy online since its ISBN is the same as pic related.

But concluding that criticizing or getting mad is an inability to cope is a willful lie.
>>7885242
I also replied to you in the previous thread, you probably didn't see it, but I have a translation by a Craig Williams which puts weight on a more literal translations of compounds and kennings, for example.
So Heorot in Heanywulf, 'The hall towered / its gables wide and high and awaiting / a barbarous burning. That doom abided', becomes 'The raftered hall, / high, horn-gabled, was doomed to wait / for battle-flames, the fierce sword-hate' (81-84).
Could you post Liuzza?
