They'd spent like 2/3 of the final book of the super smash hit fantasy series camping in the woods, jealously bitching at each other and making no progress. By the end, I was utterly disillusioned and beyond all care and hated every single character. To this date, it remains one of the shittiest book I've ever read in my life.

Admit it /lit/, you just crave entertainment.

I couldn't care less about classic music and Mozart and Chopin and Haidn and Brahms but every time I read a german classic it has to suck the living shit out of their dicks. Fuck.

>Dude, I love to see the good guy, he's so pure and with the power of friendship he will beat the bad guys, because the bad guys are evil and being evil is bad, therefore good people will always beat bad guys because good and evil are oposites and bad guys always lose

I wish to still be a literal kid where fantasy rules apply in the real world.

Hamsun's rejection of anglo-american liberal-capitalism begins already in 1889, wherein he voices his profound disgust of the American civilization. This along with his disdain and mistrust of bolshevism and tendency towards natural hierarchical thinking directly led to his naziism. Of course naziism did not exist at the time, I never claimed otherwise, but there is a clear and logical progression in his politics and philosophy towards it starting already then. "Markens Grode", to use a most famous example clearly shows an affinity towards "völkisch"-type thinking.
