/lit/ - Literature

I want to get into the myths, sagas, and folklore of ancient europe particularly Northern Europe and The Anglo-Saxons.

Where should I get started assuming I've got nothing to go on.

Also is Joseph Campbell worth reading?

Is Beethoven's 7th Symphony (2nd movement) pleb-tier?

It's my favourite piece from him desu.

Anything's better than that retard Laozi.

>Only if you have read only five books, pleb.

I have read almost every notable work of literature from across the world, over the course of several millennia. If you want to know these works, just say.

>No.

You haven't been paying attention, then.

>You're full of shit.

Quite the opposite. Right from the beginning, the entire field of metaphysics has been built upon numerous misconceptions and errors. I will give you a clue, however; Nietzsche, in 'Human, All Too Human', came very close to realizing the truth.

There is one work in your entire list that is actually worthwhile. I will leave you to ponder which.

I'm not a writer, but it's not something I see a great deal of, nowadays.

I tend to read large works, and there's a few I've read that I felt could have benefited from a Tolkien-style introduction (and appendices) due to the story being constantly skewered with all sorts of details to paint an ultimately clumsy picture of certain races/places.
