/lit/ - Literature

my dude. "prose" isnt the only thing that makes a story interesting. I know thats what /lit/ thinks but narrative is not "Character goes from A to B".
A story involves being invested in a character and the plot by means of characterisation, motivations, paying off things that were set up, and a conclusion to the plot and the character. All of these things are what readers care about ultimately, as they are the "story" behind "storytelling"

you all grew old and started taking yourselves too seriously than what you really deserved. Demanding respect you didnt earn. Believing bullshit you had no business believing

How insecure you are, you stupid fuck? Imagine producing that wall of seething text that says more about you than anything else. Holy faggot

Which translation should I read? Briggs seems fine as i don’t care to have to look up the French bits but I think he may have strayed too much.

Richard Peaver chimes in in this comment section about his approach to the translation:

I’ve read Peaver and V translation of TBK, Crime and Punishment and Notes from Underground and loved them though so I’m thinking maybe just go with them.

I know Tolstoy himself backed the Maude translation though.

Alright how do you losers cope with the fact that functionally all scientific papers and computer programs i.e. the most necessarily technical and complex writing in the world, is done in English. A Chinese genius will learn English just to laugh at you in your own language and you think learning Russian is gonna help a brainlet like you understand Anna Karenina better?

Post your favorite book and the emote it made you feel.

look who's reading books while others are having sex

What are you looking forward to?

What catchphrases do you say when reading?

Whenever I start reading something I say "Book It!" or "Read On!".

GAY

DO YOU READ BOOKS?

You can safely ignore all of modern literature and keep reading the Greeks and Romans
