Just read the comic, it's much more digestable.
Where do you get all this time to read so much. God knows the last time I read a book...
There are so many books I have to read before I die. :shame:
How will I ever find the time?
I suppose I could quit the interwebs, less computer games, get some discipline, stop being a weak cryba
This is disrepectful and I blame your generationQuote:

I hope you know your English lit better than your French lit becuase I read Bovary and I must admit I found it lacking in every sense of the wordQuote:

I'm currently deep into Wealth of Nations, so no. After that I have an exciting book called "the students learningenviroment - the teachers possibilities" lined up... And after that, it's another dqte with the tome called "Educational Psychology". It's been a while since I read Stalin's biography, so that one is proably right after that. And when I'm finished with that, I'm sure I have a bunch of new books I'm dying to read...
You would enjoy Stendhal much better. More your cup of tea, methinks.Quote:

And there I was, thinking you'd weekly read some massive biography of some communist. Especially for bedtime reading.Quote:

Oh, and I do the same with the communist manifesto, obviously. Wealth of Nations might be added to that list, it's very, very promising so far...
Agh bested again. My only out is some sort of "knowing eachother biblically" joke that I can't make becuase I've already refrenced our relationship in the thread

I read Ulysses when I was younger but I am afraid I was too young. I suffered from the fact that my actual reading ability was very high but my comprehension of themes symbols and motifs was over my head. For example, I read the Lord of the Rings at the end of 4th Grade. I finished them and did so promptly yet the actual content was often too advanced for my young mind to truly understand as the author intended and details which were important slipped quite easily from my young mind. Re reading them however was much more a treat. Ulysses being such a complex book soared far far above my young self. Therefore, the use of me reading it was near the same as the use of whatever the Rainman reads. Yes, I read it. Yes, I understood the authors words even the big ones. But the usage of Joyce's stream of consciousness and the complexity of his parallels with Odysseus overwhelmed me among other things. Actually i don't even think I could finish it I read maybe a third before I simply gave up in disgust.
As a result reading it again would be like reading if for a first time. So after I read my current novel I may join you.
You all make me feel so uncultured. ~:mecry:
Classic literature is always more interesting if it's been hacked to death by the porn industry.
TRUE. The rendition of Hamlet by **************** Studios was engrossing.Quote:

You're on your own. Pull up your pants, straighten your cap and start reading.Quote:
