I accept your game.
It's quite simple. The Beatles would have been another irrelevant 60's pop rock, boy band for eternity if it wasn't for the intervention of drugs from Bob Dylan and other musicians that had influenced their music. The changing of culture from the 60's to 70's was all about going from mainstream consumerist conservatism, to the rebellious liberal reaction of the 70's. For them it then was about separating from what the producers wanted and finding their own sound. Thankfully, the drugs came into their music at the right time: at the height of their boy band success. If it had came too soon, their juvenile fan base would throw them out for another corporate produced boy band. If it had came too late, it would be an embarrassing story of an amateur boy band who became washed out hacks and then resorted to psychedelics for attention and inspiration.
It wasn't until Yoko came along and became the splitting force of the group. Each of them became too individualistic, and couldn't hold each other together as the unified corporate boy band they once were. Their final works, Don't Let Me Down / Get Back, was a testimonial sound to their already weakened relationship as a united group. The sounds were reminiscent of the American hard rock scene, with heavy blues influence and rough aesthetics. The only thing that kept the Beatles alive for so long was someone along the way, came at the right time, and injected their own sense of persona to strengthen the group. Many others besides Bob Dylan did this, too many to list. And of course, Yoko was the end of them. The Beatles are nothing more than overrated charlatans who have always been the key adoration of the music industry, as being the only successful boy band to "come up with their own sound". An over glorified band that surprisingly had the right amount of marketing and sheer luck to not only be the flavor of the month, but also turn into the flavor of the decades, and float by through many well deserving artists that never got their payday, without actually contributing anything valuable to music itself as an art form. Their lyrics are unimaginative and completely broken into a rut, constantly repeated until they could no longer succeed. The hacks themselves realized they couldn't go on fooling the world that they had talent, it was surely the end for a satire to the music world. People who regard them as an actual vitality to the genre of rock, well of course that is nothing short of a sick farce and an illusory lie to the overwhelming hyped up fanatics of plebeian underage cockfucks who deem them to them to be the greatest band of all time.

What do you guys think is the best Dylan album?

Blood on the Tracks is probably my favorite after dealing with a tough break up but Blonde on Blonde is a very close second for its expansiveness. Blonde on Blonde also features some of Dylan's best lyricism. What Blood on the Tracks lacks in that respect it more than makes up for in sheer depth of performance.

Solid choice. Every now and then I throw on Bringing it All Back Home and realize what an eclectic, fucking great album it is in its own right, despite it usually just being pointed to as the "turning" point album.

Favorite song?

Tie between Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands and Idiot Wind. Coincidentally also about the same person. One a lovely devoted, almost subservient ode to his wife and the other a stinging, snarling, but at the end just as loving send off to her.

The point in Idiot Wind where you realize Dylan still loves her deeply in between the curses he hurls at her is fucking stunning every time I listen to it.

We're going by the Oxford Latin course books and a book of grammar put together by the Department head. My prof also uploads chapters of Wheelock's for us to use to do homework assignments.

He's a Classical Studies grad student with a focus in archaeology, and admitted himself that Latin isn't his strong suit.

Is Stirner an actual studied and read philosopher? Or is he just popular on autistic backwards image boards because Engels did some neat pictures of him?

Ouch man. Get some Catullus and Julius Caesar to translate in your spare time once you're confident enough to be bored not just perplexed; there's enough translations of both to compare across a few of them and your version. The Collins pocket dictionary I have has the meters of poetry etc at the beginning, would recommend if they still print them like that.

He has a simple and elegant line, and he should not be forgotten for the bad press from Christians/theists and Marxists.

I need a sad book. Something subtly sad, not so blatant as a rape victim or something like that. The kind of sad that makes you tired and sleepy.

I've heard him mentioned once outside of /lit/ and it was in a way to make him seem as a historical curiosity/oddity and nothing more.

People at most will say that he made Marx turn from idealism to materialism and that's it really.

Those purporting to have a vagina do so merely for attention, consciously or not. They should therefore be ignored, lest we foresake all of our beliefs in pursuit of a picture of a pair of breasts.

The real question at hand here is whether Hawk is more or less than one poster.

I've heard a lot of people rag on Wheelock but I was never exactly sure why people don't like it. I'm going through Wheelock and I'm pretty far into it already so I'd rather not walk away from it. Is there something wrong with it? I'm still learning latin, right?

Need more parameters. Regardless:
>Happy Prince and Other Stories, Wilde
Very sad. No rape, but also no escape.
>In Watermelon Sugar, Brautigan
Sad, sweet, surreal. Funny in places, generally in a way that makes you sad after laughing.

Authors you might like:
>Shirley Jackson
Sad and creepy, sometimes murder and rape potential, but always horrifying and depressing. In between the sociopathy and isolation of everything people form warm trusting bonds.
>Saul Bellow
A Jewish guy whose wife has grown distant mulls over how bleak everything is and Chicago's historical geography.

There's less wrong with it than, say, the Cambridge Latin Course, and it's better if you have no tutor or a poor one. But it feels like those children's books for learning any other language, so as an adult it seems a bit condescending. It was of course designed that way, but compared to the originals it's pretty banal. Don't drop it, it does it's job, but as soon as you can start pushing yourself to read from the original not just the selection in the book which can be paraphrased for ease of learning basics.

Wheelock is OK especially if it's just for homework. No idea about the Oxford series but if you have a teacher presumably you're fine.

I recommend Shelmerdine's Introductory Latin to everyone because it's IMHO very clean in presenting the grammar chapter-by-chapter, and you can be reasonably certain by the end of the book of where you stand with Latin grammar. Whereas with Cambridge or Wheelock, things are a bit more holistic and fuzzy, which for me is the most frustrating thing. If you're feeling up to an extra (minor, at least when I bought it) cost, get a copy of Shelmerdine and use it as sort of a poor man's Latin grammar book.

Cambridge is eh. I used it in my first year course. It gives you a LOT of text to work with, which is nice - Shelmerdine really, really needs more exercise texts - but it's absolutely terrible at explaining and introducing grammar. The biggest problem aside from that, and same with Wheelock, is what the above anon said about the tendency to give you fruity little stories about Grumio the coquus like you are a babby. But honestly, I think this is a good thing early on. Shelmerdine for instance throws mostly adapted "real Latin" passages at you, which is a great motivator except when every single fucking sentence is too much of a crazy Ciceronian puzzlebox to actually be of any use when it comes to simple drilling. And what you need most is often simple drilling. Especially if you're Butterfly.

No, he's a male virgin in his mid twenties who spent literally half his life on 4chan. Your reading comprehension is bad.

What does "essential doorstoppers" mean?

[Anonymous No.5363584]

Do you know what each word separately means?

Doorstoppers are huge works, I think the general consensus has them at least 7-800+ pages.
