Fucking this. nothing else comes close.

"One should both say and think that Being is."

"Needful : the saying also thinking too : being : to be."

True. I was just going along with the Porter-family interpretation of the poster I was replying to. You can call them Mutt and Jute or Butt and Taff or Shem Jim or Shaun Jaun and Yaun, for all I care...

I was surprised by how much I did feel like I got when I read it. Book I and II went down like sweet-tasting, badly-needed medicine. Book III was much much harder for me personally, although it clarified immensely in re-readings. Since the act of reading is where the plot and meaning are created, I think that "anyone" who puts the will into exegesis of the text will "understand" what they're reading.

If anyone reading this is looking to get motivated, I vividly recall Book II.1, 2, kinda3, and ABSOLUTELY, ABSOLUTELY 4 (Tristan and Isolde/Mamalujo) as pure literary ecstasy and bliss.

Yo /lit/, I need help.
For Modern English class we have to pick our favourite book and 4 points about it. (sounds remedial, I know)
Well, I don't frequent /lit/ or read too many books, but I'm picking Through the Looking-Glass.
However, I only have 1 point; that I love the aspects of the seemingly-reversed world.
Halp? Don't snigger at my tastes.
