>fucked over by Tarantyev the chad
>cucked by best friend
>watches all his dreams slowly fall away

no wonder this is one of /lit/s fav books

So, I've been reading through NEET-core and have yet to read this novel. I recently got a $20 cheque in the mail from a class action lawsuit I filed online (something to do with faulty RAM) about 18 months ago. Totally forgot about it, but now I have enough money for a book. Is the Marian Schwartz translation the best available?

Do you think Oblomov could have been 'cured' of his listlessness? If so, how?

What are some good books about people who don't do very much at all?

The slacker the better.

I'm 100 pages in. When does this start getting good? He's barely got out of bed for god's sake.

Oblomov.

>"Plunged up to the ears in work, good friend!" thought Oblomov as he
>watched him depart. "Yes, and blind and deaf and dumb to everything
>else in the world! Yet by going into society and, at the same time, busying
>yourself about your affairs you will yet win distinction and promotion.
>Such is what they call 'a career'! Yet of how little use is a man like that! His
>intellect, his will, his feelings--what do they avail him? So many luxuries is
>what they are--nothing more. Such an individual lives out his little span
>without achieving a single thing worth mentioning; and meanwhile he
>works in an office from morning till night--yes, from morning till night,
>poor wretch!"

>Certainly a modicum of quiet satisfaction was to be derived from the
>thought that from nine o'clock until three, and from eight o'clock until nine
>on the following day, he, Oblomov, could remain lying prone on a sofa
>instead of having to trot about with reports and to inscribe multitudes of

Which literary character do you identify with the most?

What is the most laid back philosophical movement, lads?
