Is this the worst book ever written?
no, this is
Bru i have owned a copy of this book for five years, and i vave never got past the first chapter. Currently. I decided to read it, but even though i have carried it with me every where i have gone for a week, i have not read a page.
Is it worth the time?
>>8090727
Then tell me, why does this book deserve to be regarded the way it is?
It's just not that good, bordering on awful.
>>8090734
if you have to ask, you'll probably never understand. i don't have the energy to bang my head against a brick wall on your behalf. dickens probably just isn't for you. best you stick to manga or whatever other shit you prefer reading
jesus holy fuck. tale of two cities. "bordering on awful". unbelievable.
>>8090761
Get a load of this faggot.
It's not by any stretch of the imagination bad
outdated though? yes. Doesn't mean you shouldn't read it.
>>8090779
fuck off millennial
>>8090761
>best you stick to manga

>>8090761

>he's happy to be ignorant
>>8091026
You said it as an insult
And yet you know more about it than me. Going so far as to say I'm "ignorant".

If this is the worst book ever, then literature truly is a gift from God.
>>8091032
dis the fuckin truth
>>8090653
Right at this very moment, there is a Stephen King thread going on in /lit/.
So no.
>>8090761
You are just as much of a faggot as he is. My advice: suicide.
>paid by the word
Fuck dickens tb h
People don't like Dickens on /lit/ because he doesn't cater to angsty young men
>>8090653
That would be pride and prejudice. British 'literature' is a giant heap of shit prose, boring stories and bland characters
>>8091207
Why do people like you always assume it must have to do with some sex based issue?
>>8091225
What?
>>8090653
You've not read anything I've self-pubbed...
>>8090761
ARE YOU KIDDINGS ME???
>>8090653
>Is this the worst book ever written?
No, try the Bible. It moralizes incest and tribalism. It is written in the desert-tongue. The heroes of it are wicked and depraved lunatics.
>>8090653
It was the best of books, it was the worst of books.
>>8092602
You are indeed not, being kidded.
>>8092611
>in the desert-tongue
Racist.
>>8093032
Those who can't discuss philosophy, discuss politics.
>>8093037
One, that's not true for several reasons.
And two, I, nor anyone else here, is discussing politics.
I'm not sure why you felt the need to say that?
>>8093040
Oh, but it is true... for "several reasons."
And any discussion of race relations (and especially those pertaining to viral Trump videos) is political.
>>8092669
kek
>>8093082
Ahh yes. Because race has Never ever ever been discussed in literature and philosophy.
>is that really what you're saying?
But really I don't know why you keep bringing race up. I'd like to talk about this book. Please go to /pol/ or /news/ to talk about such things.
>>8093040
Uhhhhhhh... pretty sure you meant "...neither I...", shitbird.
>>8093107
Oh my bad.
>>8091031
You're on fucking 4chan, stop acting like a retard, you obviously know what manga is.
>>8093117
Never heard of it.
>>8093105
>>is that really what you're saying?
are you literally retarded
>>8090653
What's the time, Mister Dickens?!
IT IS THE WORST OF TIMES, IT IS THE BEST OF TIMES...
everyone here knows what magma is, quit acting dumb
>>8091225

I hate this board
