/lit/ - Literature

I'm quite glad that I'll be switching to English for my major next year. This academic year has been and shall continue to be a complete and utter waste of time but at least it'll be over soon enough. I've considered doing history or east asian studies instead, but I can't afford the latter and the former is probably much more boring than I'm prepared for.
I fucking love Lal'c from Diebuster.
I'm reading Anthony Kenny's "A New History Of Western Philosophy" and I have to say I quite like it. Dividing each period in two and doing a historical overview before getting into the ins-and-outs of that period's thought is quite nice.
I'm gonna have to get a job to help pay for uni and I don't want to, I don't want to become a prole, bros.
I have to say, reading fragments from the Canterbury Tales as a second language speaker is really hard, even with notes.
I found a couple of really old books a few months ago, one's from the 1720s and the other (A sort of summary of the history of the OT, from what I gather) from the 1780s. I'm kind of scared of reading them, to be entirely honest. I don't want to cause any damage.
I should start taking Japanese seriously if I ever want to read a novel in it. What a nightmarish island tongue, I wish I had no interest in it.
I had planned to start learning Mandarin when I'm done with japanese, but that might very well be never.
Kind of excited about visiting dublin this summer, I'm looking forward to it. It's the first time I'll ever be to a primarily english speaking country. Gonna bring my copy of dubliners with me.
