/lit/ - Literature

I picked up a bunch of stuff while I was in the city.
From left to right:
>Lingqijing
It's basically an ancient-Chinese "Divination for Dummies" book. Picked it up because it was the price of a cheeseburger, and I actually know that the translator is a sinologist and not some new-age mysticist hack.
I actually tried using it, and it's laughably simple to get a divination with it. It's a fun little oddity.
>The Rákóczi-epic
A baroque Hungarian epic. I read about it in a large, multi volume monograph, and it seemed interesting. It had a bunch of essays and notes packed alongside it, while the poem itself is around 3900 lines long, coupled into 4 line stanzas. I expected some fun rhymes, but so far it seems a bit forced.

>Fyodor Mikhailovich Nietzky
It's a book on Nietzsche's later philosophy, and his interpretation of Dostoevsky's *Demons*, hence the title.
I had the chance to read parts of it a few months ago, and it seemed interesting.

Bottom row:
>20th Century Chinese Short Stories
I picked it up alongside the divination handbook. Though originally this was the one I went to the store for. An acquaintance told me that that specific store has it for a bearable price, so I grabbed it.
I'm mainly interested in the short stories by Lu Xun, Lao She and Gao Yingjian that are included in it.
>André Gide - The counterfeiters
Same acquaintance gifted me it, saying that it's a classic, and is absolutely worth reading. I hope it's good, and by the description, his opinion seems to be true.
