Why is Robert Fagles' translation recommended in this chart? I tried asking 2 days ago but I didn't get any kind of answer. Does it really matter which translation you read? I just want to most comprehensive one.

What exactly do you guys take notes about? should I be doing this? I just read the books

Which version/revision of Plato's "The Republic" do I get as a complete Newfag? I've heard that different translations can alter the information you get then from what Plato intended.

Do you guys write down notes/thoughts on a book when reading it?

I'm a newfag on /lit/. What exactly makes a stack? is it a bunch of books you've bought in 1 go or the last bunch of books you've read?

Which tape is the safest for reinforcing/protecting the edges of paperback books? there doesn't seem to be any stores in my town that sell that specialised book tape.

Why are there so many Jewish feminists despite being a numerically small religion?

If I want to read the Iliad is there other stuff I should read before hand to prime myself for it? I'm a brainlet.

"Every man is the arbiter of his own values."
Is this true or false? If it's true, what are the implications?

Just got done reading Homage to Catalonia.

>German
I was gonna also ask if German. I have a theory that Males of Euro countries really hate the language/accents of former rival nations when spoken by other males but really get turned on by the females speaking it
t. English/Dutch mutt that hates French and Spanish when spoken by the males but gets turned on when spoken by girls, especially French girls.

Does /lit/ opt for editions of books with included intros/authors notes/closing statements compared to just the work by itself? What becomes more valuable after decades?

Why hasn't Olly made a reply/response video after Truediltom absolutely and utterly BTFO into the mud his video about 'why the left will win'? it's been almost 2 months now..

New reader here, How does /lit/ group and organise their books in their bookshelf/home library? I've only got 3 atm, but how best organise when I've got a few dozen from various authors? by genre/author or what?

How important is it to buy and collect books that are hardback compared to paperback? Obviously I plan on taking good care of them regardless

>want to start reading books by Gentile, Mosley, Mussolini/hitler etc on fascism and European ethno-nationalism
>The books I want/have been recommended are $70+100+
hmmmm... why is this /lit/? it seems I might have to get a digital reader which I really don't want
