Books on embracing loneliness?

>Reading Black Coven
>Literal cucking
But...why? Everything was clearly established, you had to kill the IQ of characters to even make it happen the way it did. I will continue reading just to see how this can be salvaged, which I doubt it will.

> then all these academics came along and started prescribing grammar
Academics today prescribe the exact opposite. People are such waterheads today that language departments are employ textbooks with cartoons and no grammar to try not to scare Freshman away. The numbers are declining despite these attempts and language requirements for Classics degrees are being dropped as a result.

You are falling for the oldest meme in the world - when you are a part of the mainstream and act like you are a persecuted minority. Since the 70s progressive education has been prescribing the methods that you champion. So you can stop acting like the average teacher teachers Latin like it's 1892. I know it fits your narrative, but if that was the case, then we would have people with 1892 skills in Latin - and we most certainly don't. What we have are a bunch of kids who have to read 40 poorly written 'novellas' AFTER their beginner textbook before that even touch a heavily adapted selection of Caesar.

>I've seen several people write that Latin was always taught like in the "LLSPI" book until the 1800s but no one has provided any real proof of how people taught the language in medieval times to support the argument.
>this is all from a book called "Learning Latin the Ancient Way" which has sources for all the claims
This comes from Karens in the humanities who have found bilingual manuscripts of Greek & Latin textbooks, so now people think the best way to go from English to Latin is to copy how people went from Greek to Latin - which of course doesn't work. Greek & Latin grammar were similar enough that you didn't need to spend excessive amount of time on the grammar if you were learning one with native level fluency in another. Nobody here is learning Latin from native level Attic or Koine Greek. You cannot infer the complexities of the grammar in the same way. This is such a simple concept.

>There was a concrete method for 5 thousand years,
>what was that?
grammar + dictionary + oral practice with a tutor/native.
This goes back to the Akkadians learning Sumerian after it was no longer a spoken language. Many people after them used this to learn liturgical languages or literary dialects of their own language.

Yeah, but this is such a solitary existence. PAIN
