/lit/ - Literature

Go fuck yourself /his/topical revisionist

>>12843588
You literally can't argue with me. The book is the worst thing in the field.

>>12843570
i will try to suppress it and vandalize and destroy it

>>12843603

do you have a single criticism or?

>>12843570

>>12843646

>>12843687
>>12843690
is she okay?

>>12843690

is this a passage from the book? no?

>>12843690
this makes me want to read her book more, not less

>>12843690
I hate this argument.
Yes, humans are natural born cheaters.
Men clearly evolved for running around fertilising many women and women clearly evolved for cucking people.
This doesn't mean a society full of philandering men and rampant cuckholdry is great.
Like courts and democracy monogamy is an invention and actually a recent invention in the grand scheme of things: it only becomes somewhat common after writing and bronze are discovered.
Abraham was a polygamist and monogamy was only patched in later because the invention served a strong social good.

>>12843570
It's a really good book.

Incels are just upset because it hurts their narrative.

>>12843635
Don't worry, guys. Pepsi says the plastic is safe.
THERE ARE NO GAY FROGS! AND EVEN IF THEY WERE THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT LIFESTYLE CHOICE! STATISTICS SHOW THAT THIS CHOICE IS CONSISTENT AND POSITIVELY CORRELATES WITH WEALTH GROWTH!
Gay frogs are a good thing.

>>12843894
Are you Caps Lock from /x/?

>>12843885
This. The moment Mary Beard's latest book hit the shelves it was back to their celibate drawing boards, haha!

>>12843926
What does it look like when you take the robotic pill?

>>12843926
maybe you feel like supporting women for once

>>12843929
you swallow a steel hexnut and they charge you $1.7 million. you may also tweet about the experience if you sign a release.

>>12843917
Imagine Rowling seeing this and upping her game in spouting bullshit about her books to this level.

"Ollivander owns a daughter company that specializes on selling adult wizards wands that are safe for uretral insertions"

"Hogwarts subsidizes the costs of polyjuice potions for transgender wizards"

etc.

>>12843926
>literal robits
Woah, I didn't know Pinker was in the cult of death! When will these people realize that their ravenous trek for Global power and so-called human ascension will put on the level of God.

>>12843965
Correction...
will not put them on the level of God.*

>>12843570
Nah man it had nice covering. And her tv series is nice too so idk what is the problem here...

>>12844023
> nice covering
Was her book your first foray into Roman history, anon?

>>12843570
>post 20th century women
>accurate depiction of historical events

Yeah no shit, and she's a gentile as well, yeah good luck with that

Anyone have any specific things from the book that are wrong?

>>12843570
I thought this was supposed to be one of the best books on Rome? Or is this just /lit/ being misogynist.

>Mary Beard

you should have known better

>>12843570
what's wrong with this book? it's on my reading list and if it's so shit recommend a replacement

>>12843690
i mean that is one theory of why dicks are shaped like they are and why we have to pump. She didn't have to write it like that though.

>woman author
is it biased?

>>12844880

>>12843687
Lone psychos waste so many bullets shooting up schools when they could be of service to humanity.

Read this book and it was fine, OP has to be a real special snowflake to be triggered by it, there was nothing controversial in it. I assume because a woman wrote it this is OPs way of acting out.

>>12843570
Agreed, I couldn't stand that fucking book. Poorly written, rambling, and it focused on a lot of really minor things about Rome, while pretty much ignoring anything interesting or important about it.

Most biographies of roman people do a way better job of depicting how roman society generally was.

>>12845406
And for general interest history it flows a lot better than Goldsworthy imo. OP is fag

>>12843965
Literal satanism.

>>12845406
>fine
>nothing controversial
why would anyone ever read this?

>>12844871
>Be socially isloated zoomer tired of cultural vapidness and degeneracy
>decide to better oneself by reading the classics like the Stoics
>propaganda overlords take notice
Romans were degenerate too, pleb!

>>12843570
>reading a book written by a female

YIKES, I seriously hope /lit/ doesn't do this. Females can't write worth shit.

>>12845430
I can’t imagine a living person over the age of 20 having this opinion

>>12845434
What’s your point? He could be 18 or something

>>12845426
Probably to get an overview of some Roman history.

>>12843917

Can you imagine two thousands years from now everybody will be judging us based on Michael Jackson's weird perversions?

>>12845436
That’s not my point.

As you age, you receive a more correct interpretation of the universe unless you’ve been misguided. Hence my belief that if someone were raised alone for decades he would eventually find God himself, if not exposed to it. :3

>>12845442
And also I just hope we’re trying to cultivate a good atmosphere here with wiser people. Not stupid bullshit like that

>>12845434
>>12845442
Female detected

>>12845444
I’m :3

You should know I’m not a female.

>>12845450
>white knighting for females
YIKES!

>>12845437
>overview
>some history
maybe a makerspace's clitlit club is more to your taste

>>12843627

I don't know your stupid memes. Keep on not not reading.

I assure all of you the book SPQR is quite well written. I have no idea why she abandons every principle of good writing in her tweets.

>>12843570
But Amazon Books recommended it! What should I do with it OP?

>>12843588
Julius Caesar was a subsaharan nigger.

>>12847280
Throw it away and read Gibbon

>>12843588
Fuck man how did I miss you post today somehow. :3

>>12848196
Oh shit that was last night. Yeah I was done last night. Worked from 7am till 10 pm and I had to get up today for work at 5 30 am

>>12843588
Why so bitter about that butterfly?
