Not everything that's classic, is good.

The battle scenes in Le morte de Arthur is the worst trudge in any book ever written. "Knight so and so fell of his horse, so and so got him another; knight so and so fell of his horse, so and so got him another." It's as bad as reading the Begats for entertainment, and I think of that often. We... meer lezen

Hence as to why I would have very well been finished with the book by now but there's absolutely so much I can denote from Mabie's impactful... (bewerkt) meer lezen

When Nietzsche Wept

There's a bit in this book by Irvin Yalom where the Pandora myth is mentioned in reference to the idea that hope is actually the greatest of all ills (which is why, the writer seems to theorise, it was in the same box as all the ills that escaped). What are your thoughts on this? Is acceptance of... meer lezen

The Sun sleeps, not the hope 💖

With the rising Sun, Up-brings the Hope Chasing the Dreams, With the Faith’s rope Some fall, some rise, All with the desired scope With the inspirations, the stimulation The elation, the frustration Like a warrior in the battlefield, Dealing with the cope.

The Illiad

Readers of ancient literature: do you have a favourite character from The Illiad? Online discourse seems to suggest that Achilles and Patroclus are well loved characters.

Debate: Homer translations?

Who has the best translation(s) of Homer's The Illiad and/or The Odyssey? I love Emily Wilson's Odyssey work, but have yet to read her translation of Illiad.

Memory: Father&Son (Salamander Cellphone Novel)

Chapter 4   More than sadness, more than despair. I feel only complete and utter rage. From the depths of my heart. "What would you have me do father? I-" The knot in my throat, too large to speak. My father nods as if he understands, His eyes full of pride. "You are now of age... 18, tell me... meer lezen

Giving a try to Nabokov’s Lolita in English (I’m not a native speaker). I love Nabokov as a genius stylist but in Russian his style is very elevated and you need to keep attention all the time. Wonder if it’s the same in English
