I’m currently reading Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales in modern English translation. How does this make you feel?

True but in authoritarianism you might get the 1/50 chance of getting a smart leader instead of democracies where you have a 0 percent chance of the majority of people being smart.

Best post in this cursed thread.

Just finished the second book of the Malazan Series.

You guys keep telling me it will get better from now on.

Is this true?

Because I haven't enjoyed a series as much as this in a long time

Here is my interpretation of Franz Kafka the judgement. The story makes no sense and Franz Kafka is a low IQ individual

Women, stop majoring in Philosophy, its for the males with something called REASON

What a glorious and intoxicating innocence. The author is anonymous. In fact, it was me. I told you to get lost pal; I run this board, so scram.

>realistic style
sounds alright. I ran out of breath several times, but there was almost always a comma then
>"dear Reader"
bolt choice to use outdated story-telling, however, if Justin Timberland can bring sexy back, you might as well talk through paper to another person reading
>90's setting
how do you use this setting later on? what vibe?
>" 'a chronicle of triumph' "
this better be good (whatever this question-mark-box might be)

Wouldnt suprise me if he has some sort of aversion of swedish women because of that. I mean he is 5'9 in a country the majority of people are at least 6 foot.

I dont know, learn swedish or something, because there is alot that hasnt made its way into english besides knut hamsun and very popular or famous things.

Sweden is a good country with good people, he just doesnt want to fit in and belittles them to make himself feel bigger about his own problems. He can marry Marzia and have as many little pepperoni babies as he wants wherever in Europe he wants, but disavowing his homeland because he is too pathetic to succeed there is not good.And a productive life is better than an enjoyable hedonistic one. He knows this, but he cares far too much about money and material goods, than he does about himself and his people as a whole.

I live in the biggest city in my country, and it isnt beneficial. I get that they are good books, but they arent worth reviewing. Everyone has read them, everyone knows what they are about etc so him using his platform to show off basic books serves no purpose. Jews are a problem and if you dont accept that then you are delusional or just ignorant (both are good signs of an oversocialized plebian like you most likely are) Im not a christian but dismissing something from a christian philosopher is pure conditioning.

>read Houellebeq's Submission
>footnote explains what youporn is

Lolita and Oedipus Tyrannus of course. anyone who claims otherwise is a lie.
