Her magnum opus, the Harry Potter books? It's a period piece. A whole series of period pieces. The history of reading is strewn with the great dustbin of period pieces, and in five or six years these will be period pieces also. They will be of interest only to sociologists. The people who read them will not be able to remember what they read.

>read classic literature in class like shakespeare
>language hard to follow because it's old as fuck
>still enjoyable on its own because it's well written enough to carry despite the language barrier
>the choice of words and construction of sentences are clearly very precise and flows very well
>constantly interrupted by explanations from the teacher or questions from other students
>no ability to enjoy literature as literature, everything needs to be marked down and quantified, all interpretations must be fed to them by the teacher
>eventually they just say 'fuck it' and watch the movie adaptation in class

Reading great/important literature in a US high school english class is like learning about why people love dogs by performing an autopsy on one while wearing boxing gloves.

Imagine thinking OP will honestly try. Anon, I don't know if you're new here or if you still have hope for this board, but I'd advice you to quit while you're ahead. This board is a sea of despair and retards like OP.
You'd be wise to do as >>20276964 does and lurk for shitposts.

> Why does a therapist not count

I had one it helps a little, but it doesn't fill the void

>What is this "past dealing with mental illness"

Anxiety and depression, I was suicidal. At my worst, I couldn't talk with any stranger without panicking and I would leave the house only for school or family gatherings.

>Why would you bring it up to someone you were dating(outside of it being an extremely serious relationship)

Because I want to connect with someone and the only way to do that is to open up. Living like that for all my teens ( I'm 23 started slowly getting better in my 20's) made me who I am today. I would feel like lying or like I was hiding something if I didn't speak about it with someone who could be a potential lover, something serious. I'm not retarded I wouldn't bring that up at first date nor would I feel the need too. But once you start getting closer ? Yeah I'd want to talk about it. I want to be vulnerable with someone I love.

>Why do you so desperately want to be seen

I don't need the whole world to see me, I would be satisfied with only one but right now there is none. I want to be completely honest about who I am with someone, not having to hide anything about myself. It feels exhausting to always calculate just how much I can say or what should I say when I meet people. Just wanna be myself and relax with someone bro it's not that hard to get.

He had two heirs that he wanted to rule jointly, because he know the stupid civil war that would happen should someone not from his bloodline be picked over his stupid as son, whom he trained and tutored, but whom also was surrounded by enablers and shit influences that molded him more than his father did. Marcus had the soul to live and die as a philosopher king, Commodus had the soul of frat boy and acted accordingly.

How about you read about accelerationism instead of spouting dumb memes like a retard?
Contradictions have never killed anything, accelerationism is not and has never been about accelerating contradictions nor about acceleration as a praxis.

Is there a website that lists major works of literature and shows what other works they refer to/works that refer to it, similar to how you can look up cross-references within the bible?

Which writer's influence do you struggle the most with in your own work? For me it's Joseph Heller.
