/lit/ - Literature

sorry anon, looks like... let me check the records... ah yes, here you are... looks like youre going to stay up till 3am browsing /lit/ threads that you've already clicked on, and maybe take a day off this friday to sleep in until midday.
i tried searching for pussy but nothing came up in the file. maybe they misspelled it? anyway we're all here for you.

I have a question for /lit/izens who are non-native English speakers:
Do you always look for a translation to your native language first or are you content with just reading English?
Like let’s say you want to read The Count of Monte Cristo and you are from Finland and don’t speak French.
Accounting for the fact that French translates to English much more easily than it does to Finnish, do you read the Finnish translation or the English translation?

When will you be publishing your dissertation on The Learned Disguise?

y'know, somehow, the fact that Slothrop is still physically alive somewhere by the end, I'm wholly satisfied with how everything turned out with Blicero.

>How do Christians reconcile with the fact that there are different editions of the Bible, and that theoretically works against the book being words from God?
As with other glaring issues with religious beliefs, they either ignore it or bullshit their way through the unsolvable problems.

Looks kinda like a guy with longer hair. If you’re into that, that’s not okay.

I found the endnotes to be pretty fuckin' engrossing

For example, something about an optician-turned-film-auteur's entire fictional filmography is oddly compelling to me. And a lot of JOI's films had really absurd premises that turned out be pretty distinctly autobiographical. Something about that is really evocative to me.

And Hal and Orin's conversations were pretty sweet as well and remained fresh and interesting. Basically the whole thing was, either way. I just think too many people look at it like its this cold post-modern brick. It's far more riveting when you discuss/consume the work through the lens of The New Sincerity, which is a movement that my teenage self found to be compelling as shit.

Do you think Hal ever recovers from his autism, and is able to communicate again? I like to think that he does.

Also, what caused it? Mold or DMZ?

DAE destroy the world?

>All these great ideas
>I just stare at a wall daily and think up shit

I like these threads

Starting from scratch, how long would it take to read young adult books in French or Spanish?
