well "surviving longer" surely has to do with the fact its impossible for joyce to have survived longer than he already has.

Joyce versus Shakespeare

Who is better?

in deepest hearts where mountains domain
a dragon's heart should have been slain
until the brave knight's bravery expired
and his heartstrings were plucked like a lyre.
his princess had no crowns nor flowers
her movement was simliar to waking hours
she did not set a single glance
at the knight who wanted to dance.
for when the sun was in that cave,
and a ring was what the knight gave,
a children's dream ended with a snap.
because the princess was a fucking trap.

As much as I'd like to laugh about this, it has eerie tonal echoes with what a friend of mine wrote before his psychotic episodes. I don't think he could tell if he was being serious or not either. Get help OP.

In what ways did you find it flawed?

Please explain the last five lines from, "A deep repentance..." in depth, not just the gist.

It's not “Discretion is the better part of valour.”. It's “The better part of valour is discretion”.

Silly peasants.

I don't have time reading everything, I'm afraid, since I work full time and am reading Kant at the same time.

Thanks for the tips. What are people's opinion on A Midsummer Night's Dream?

If I am to read one thing written by William Shakespeare, what should it be?

I am already too familiar with Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet. Other than those two, anything will do.

Quit with the poetry circle-jerk and help me out.

So every copy I found of this books seems to not load properly on my Kindle Paperwhite. The margins are all retarded and stuck on the right side and it just looks like ass.

Downloaded the second book "Empire Striketh Back" and it loads perfectly. Am I doing something wrong in Calibre or is is the file itself? Cause it seems to happen no matter what source I download it from.

ITT: Favourite Bill Shakespeare quote

Come, civil night, solemn
Thou sober-suited matron all in black,
And learn me how to lose a winning match
Played for a pair of stainless maidenhoods.
Hood my unmanned blood, baiting in my cheeks, untamed;virgin
With thy black mantle till strange love grown bold shy
Think true love acted simple modesty. mere; innocent
Come night, come Romeo; come, thou day in night,
For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night
Whiter than new snow on a raven's back.
Come, gentle night; come, loving, black-browed night,
Give me my Romeo, and when I shall die
Take him and cut him out in little stars ,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
O, I have bought the mansion of a love
But not possessed it, and though I am sold,
Not yet enjoyed. So tedious is this day
As is the night before some festival
To an impatient child that hath new robes

Red leaves
Greyish sky
Many thieves
In Shanghai

WOW, YOU FUCK, THAT WAS REALLY TOO FAR,
I HOPE YOU PULL A HAZE-WOMAN AND GET RUN OVER BY A CAR.
THE ONLY FUCKING REASON REASON YOUR SHITTY PEDO BOOK'S ENDU'D,
IS CAUSE ITS LIKE PYRAMUS AND THISBY, ITS SO BAD ITS FUCKING GOOD.
LIKE TROLL 2 IS TO FILM YOUR SHIT BOOK IS TO LIT,
NOW GO CATCH AIDS FROM YOUR 10 YEAR OLD WIFE'S LITTLE CLIT.

I'M A PLAGIARIST, EH? HOW'RE YOUR FUCKING ALLUSIONS?
YOU JUST TRY TO WRITE 2DEEP4U SHIT, YOUR SKILL IS AN ILLUSION,
ANYBODY WHO THOUGHT YOUR PEDO SHIT WAS GOOD WAS HAVING A SERIOUS DELUSION,
A NABOKOV FAN'S LIKE A FAIRY BITCH ON SOME SERIOUS SHIT, REALITY'S JUST AN ELUSION.
YOU THINK YOU CAN RAP, BUT I'M THE MASTER OF RHYME,
TAKING IT OLD SCHOOL, NIGGA, LIKE ELIZABETHIAN TIME.
