Very nice, lads

Some good ones as well. How many have you read?

I'm a high school English teacher.

>tfw no slightly trad Yea Forums teacher gf

Nice.

Nope, the female teachers in my cohort are teaching Hunger Games and Pride and Prejudice.

>Saki

Based, do you like him?

Don't think I don't see that unbroken spine on the Odyssey+ Camus and Sartre are lefty meme lit and shouldnt be read above the age of 16. Do read the spiritual Russians to compensate.

Do you like being an English teacher? I've always wanted to be a middle school history teacher but being a dude makes teaching too risky

Yeah, though it's only my first year, and it's a huge time-sink. However, I would not be happy teaching middle school. At that age, your focus is more on classroom management than teaching. I teach 9th and 12th grade English, and the contrast is night and day.

To be fair, out of the twelve books I read in high school English about slavery and the 20+ I read in college, Frederick Douglass is by far the most valuable. Really the only one that needs teaching desu.

I’m 10 years behind on my meme books and want to catch up before I start reading big boy books

Top: Grabbed at a used bookstore for two bucks. Might read more of it when I travel to Ireland this summer.

2. Haven’t read much yet, though I chuckle every page or so. Comfy.

3&4. Books I’m using for a research project that I’ve barely touched.

Bottom: I know it’s one of those pretentious B&N deluxe classics, but it was the cheapest way to get Longfellow’s translation of the poem at the store. I’ve already read the Inferno, and I’m hesitant to start the other two parts because I hear they’re a slog to chew through.

>Beowulf
Based. Probably the biggest chad in Anglo literature

What about Eric the Red? He discovered America and "forgot" about it

Man I remember reading Don Quijote as a kid. I couldn't get through a single page. I wonder if I could go through it now like 12 years later lol

I neither have a smartphone or a digital camera, but on my bedside table lie sprawled more books than I care to admit. The topmost is kiergegarrds either/or, the other titles I can barely make out are a dictionary of english, a dictionary of german, checkov, proust, austere, heinrich boell, karl kraus, and notes of poetry nobody will ever see...there's also sleeping pills, a half pint of lager still...please end me...

what are you posting from?

Oh yeah, almost forgot about these gift books. Most of these I’ve only glanced through. Is Albom’s work any good?

I read that pre socratics book not too long ago,

is good.

How sad is it that this nigger dwarfs you in every conceivable way. Enjoy your desperate scramble at relevance. The most you will do is fallaciously gloat in having reproduced. Every generation they become less of you until it is noise.

You are nothing, will always be nothing and will be remembered for what you are- Nothing.

yup

Literally the only two books I enjoyed being forces to read in high school.

about to also start The Battlefield Where the Moon Says I Love You. the Woolf is comfy as fuck, the Hofstadter is interesting if a bit to pop-sci for my tastes, and Ergativity makes me sad that there's no good place outside of R*ddit to discuss linguistics without getting bogged down by philosophical dribble like structuralism

your edition of Hofstadter looks disgusting, and I haven't even seen the front cover yet

The Right Side of History, by Ben Shapiro. Also The Art of War by Sun Tzu.

where did you get that Baudelaire book? which publishing house is it from?

I got it at a second-hand bookstore, and it’s published by longseller as part of a classics series.

Do people actually read monkey writing?

It is. It was my first foray into Freudian dream analysis. I especially liked the quotations from the Old Testament, myself. I take a religious view of dreams, as I believe they are messages from God. But that doesn't stop Freudian analysis from applying, really. It just means that there might be a better way to interpret dreams.

>Nausea is so fucking terrible
I diffier

I'm in my first year, and I haven't read Animal Farm in years. I'm preparing to teach it to my 9th grade class. I'm reading 1984 again with my seniors.

I actually quite enjoyed it.

It was hard to read in spots though. I grew up in the deep south and slavery is very romanticized here. Honestly I just figured they were treated like butlers or maids were treated.

The only one I haven't finished is the bottom. I'm savoring that one.

What's wrong with B&N editions?

Never read a book by a nigger in my whole life, I’m not American either

Nothing wrong with being racist

they're tacky, and their translators are usually stock, out of date, or otherwise bottom of the barrel

>Mishima and Wolfe
>1961 Ulysses
>hardback Lord of the Rings omnibus
I'm not sure how you could be more based than you already are, this is pushing limits as is

What's the different between the 1961 and 1922 Ulysses?

I found the font in that Mishima was weirdly dark in spots. Felt like a very cheaply produced edition

It's vintage, of course it's shit

I don't have the name of the translator, but it's a prose translation.

Do I have to read a graphic novel now? There's a Plissken crossover? Oh no.

How long have you been reading moon?

MA's Meditations looking good. What translation is it?

Maxwell Staniforth

I have the paperback Gregory Hays translation. You might be interested in Epictetus's Discourses and Seneca's Letters too.

Thanks.

Just a coincidence, I guess. B&N had the cheapest way to grab the complete Longfellow Divine Comedy and their version of Quixote seemed to have more footnotes to explain some of the more outdated jokes and references (I’m kind of regretting buying it over some of the other, more recent translations, though it’s still enjoyable).

1922 is full of unintended spelling and grammar errors, and 1961 is the edition with the most errors fixed without veering into fanfiction like Gabler did

Heres a stack that my dad just gave me.

Absolutely not (maybe Paradiso), Purgatorio is the height of the whole poem. It only gets richer as it goes on.

god what a pretentious fuck. you're real special bro

kek just kill yourself already

Haven't read either. The Bible is interesting so far, but I feel like a brainlet because I can't remember names in those long "list" passages in the beginning.
