When they try so hard to act cultured but the mask still slips.

Okay enough memes.
Presented here is the official high IQ western canon of literature and philosophy:

-The Bible (The Douay-Rheims Version obviously lol)
-City of God
-Summa Theologia (selected chapters)
-Canterbury's tales
-Les Jeux (medieval french religious plays)
-Les Fabliaux (coomer kineaus with lessons that resemble Chaucer's tales)
-Villon's works (Probably the most masterful French of poetry. Whilst laking the tools and new vocabulary that Rabelais will have access to, he was better with playing with words and creating emotion. A cursed poet, he was a bachelor of the arts and a master of grammar, but he'd rather have a sexy time with prostitutes that would reject him anyways.
-Rabelais' Complete Works (gives a good idea of 16th century's esoteric ideas, humanism and the current medical and technological knowledge)
- Francisco Suarez (p.b.u.h.) selected works (the only Spaniard to have produced something of literal and philosophical value, he is the last true scholastic and a direct spiritual descendant of Aquinas, he might have also surpassed the latter)
-La Pléiade (The rebirth of French poésie kineau)
-The faerie Queene
-Shakespeare's works

You'll have to add in the rest. I don't recognize literature's existence after the 17th century.

I also never read any of these. Make of that statement what you will.

Geriatric nurse - wait, hear me out.

Imagine you are an old fuck, you don't have any family anymore, you broke up with them or worse: they come once annually to check if you still breath and passive aggresivly start an argument.
Those people have nobody else to speak to and if you're nice, they tell you the weirdest shit, which they wouldn't anybody else, because why not. They'll be dead soon and nobody will care to listen.

Plus, you get all the nice leather oound antiquarian books gifted.

If you would stop playing his kalator, our short exchange would have ended yesterday. But you felt the need to insert yourself, not once, not twice but multiple times and now consider me facing you to be some kind of affront on par with namefagging.

You behaviour makes me nearly think you lack the Y chromosome.
Feel free to stop engaging me.

Stop samefagging, gutterfly. You can't even argue for your shitty democracy when actual non-brainlets counter your tranny posting.

Only since we included the third world and have to use an easier language than german or at least french in science. Before that the former where where it's at. English is the lnguage of decadent endtimes and the brown massman.

Anon, gutterfly has a smegmy dick. He can't even be honest with his reflection. What you see is a desperate attempt to make a post-pubertal mid 20s guy look like a cute female.

Dutch is like the retarded little brother of germany. They have complexes and always hate on their big brother. But even as a Polak, which lived in the netherlands and in germany, having spoken both languages, dutch is just silly. Not only that there is barely if anything worth literary wise but it also sounds so unbelievably tardish.

English: I went eating panncakes with my wife.
German: Ich war Pfannkuchen essen mit meiner Frau.
Dutch: Ik GiNg pAnnEnkoek EtEn mEt MiJn vRoUw.

Oh anon, there are so many guilty pleasures out there.
