Je l'ai déjà lue y'a deux ans, c'était assez décevant. Pas de défaut particulier mais ça ne m'a fait aucun effet, celle de Bérard me touche plus pour le moment.

Il faut dire que j'avais fait l'erreur de lire la traduction de Jacottet juste après avoir passé des semaines englouti dans un roman de Dostoïevski. Le contraste était sans doute trop grand. Je relirai Jacottet à un moment sans doute, mais pas cette année (il me reste toute la littérature grecque archaïque à lire).

Just finished Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King."

Still reading Berman's Twilight of American Culture(although I haven't read much of it in the last couple of weeks despite nearly being done with it), Kate Chopin's The Awakening and Selected Stories, Tolkien's The Silmarlllion(nearly finished reading) and I just started Cervantes' Don Quixote(sort of started it, and it's the Walter Starkie translation.

I only speak English and have difficulty learning other languages. Took Japanese(high school and college), Tagalog(college and have tried learning it on my own while staying with relatives in the Philippines and I keep failing) and Chamorro which is the language of the Pacific Islanders on Guam and they teach the language during elementary, middle and high school. You could also take courses in the colleges here on Guam.

I'm a native Hungarian, and when I started learning German I was already fluent in English, and it wasn't too difficult. The biggest struggle with German (at least once you are at a level good enough to read the news, or simpler books without consulting a dictionary) is just consistently finding content to read. With English being everywhere, general practice of the tongue doesn't really take any effort. I feel like for German I needed that year working in Austria to really grasp how the language works. Not sure that helps, but Viel Glück man!

>>16300661
It’s an amazing book desu, but I can see why people talk shit about it. I listened to it via audiobook so it was not nearly as grueling of a task reading through all that maximalist unnecessary detail, and I must admit there are parts written absolutely beautifully. The art/messaging of it is very special too.

It is definitely not some “upper class white cis male bible” like the general pseudo intellectual internet kids portray it to be. 90% of its criticism is a cope by adult Harry Potter readers getting pleb filtered, or women who would never understand the loneliness/addiction/wageslave themes.

This is a really interesting story: a lot of alchemical symbolism, allegories and mysticism, legends of Prague. The atmosphere is generally similar to that of "Crime and punishment", but more symbolic, full of parables, etc.
