Honestly, uncritical support for today's women fixing him, Hunter is like the one member of the bourgeoisie that I feel sorry for and want to see happy.
It says that Dostoevsky is actually pretty boring. I like Tolstoy though, especially his short stories. "Master and Man" I think is the name of one that stands out to me where a serf and his master die together in a snow storm. Real climate change vibes.
Brothers Karamazov is possibly the greatest piece of literature ever produced and I will die on that hill. He's got so many hits. Notes From the Underground slaps. Demons is amazing. Crime and Punishment is a banger. I will fight you. :chavez-guns:
I think his novels are boring. I will die on this hill, most likely of boredom.
Somebody's going through old posts! But I actually read that one yet. Recommend it?
oh yes absolutely, the first part might be arguably his best piece of work, narratively speaking. The image of the absolute end is memorable. And his best "digressions", the parts I like the most, are in that one, IMO.
by the way I just look through /c/philosophy once a month or something like that :p slow /c/
I'll definitely put it on my list then! Any translation you'd recommend over others?
Damn dog, very jealous. One day I'll learn French so I can read Proust (and others) in the original.
oh yeah you're in for a great time, you read it in english already ? how is Proust ? have yet to go through "à la recherche du temps perdu" but it's on my list
My goodness, it's incredible. Yeah I've read through the whole thing in English (using the new Penguin translations, not the Moncrieff) and it's so beautiful, with moments you really hold on to and absolutely gorgeous and lush writing. Proust really got it. Has perhaps the most shocking (in the sense of like wow, he really did that with these characters?!) ending to a book I've perhaps even read, some of the most wonderful characters, and the ending seventh book is the best conclusion to anything I've ever experienced. I was smiling and catching my breath throughout the whole last act, it's such a treat. I'd give anything to experience it for the first time, let alone reading it in the original French!
well, that got me extremely eager to read it. isn't it sweet, you could read it again almost as a whole new book :)
Well, maybe in a decade or something when I know French, anyway!
Intriguing. Tho on the other door you get a threesome with Hunter, another lady, and a large squirtle doll
I remember I gave my crush back in 8th grade a large Charmander doll for her birthday. It didn't go anywhere just like this comment.
I'll forever stan crime and punishment. idk about the others tho. karamazov and the idiot were meh.
