/lit/ - Literature

Hey /lit/.

I think this is the board to ask. I'm a right wing libertarian, and I'm looking for left wing reading recommendations.

I've asked a few people I know but all I got was Rawls and post-modernism. I'm looking for something dealing more with logistics and/or economics.

Then tell me what's so special about it. The narrative was infinitely boring and the characters unlikeable.

guy in OP's pic is judging the Bible by the standards of a movie review.

which he's allowed to do, obviously, but it's missing the point about ancient literature.

'The Iliad' has inconsistencies and anachronisms. some of them are internally contradictory! descriptions of important characters' attire/equipment are different in certain parts. iron wavers disconcertingly between being a precious metal, and being ubiquitous enough for use in mass-produced arrow- and spear-tips. the work assumes some familiarity with a bit of back-story about Paris and a golden apple. and i don't think that a long digression on a shield would fare well against the standards of good/horrible "plotting."

>mfw clearly 'The Iliad' is just Bronze- (and occasionally Iron-) Age asshattery!

>I wanted to feel bad for the people in the book, but it just read to me like a zombie novel

HEY YALL NIGGAS BEST LISTEN UP.

The Free market is not good.
Government intervention in the market is not good.


But (Heres the important part homes listen to this shit),

THEY ARENT BAD EITHER.

They are NEUTRAL and wether they are bad or not is DEPENDENT ON THE SITUATION IN WHICH THEY ARE APPLIED.

So stop saying "Hurr durr the free market will fix everything ever and has no flaws at all and if we just get rid of the gubment the free market will make my penis bigger and give everyone a pony."

And stop saying "The free market is the devil because capitialism and making money is evil always and will instantly lead to child slaves lead paint being put in milk jugs"

Youre all retarded. Stop contorting reality to make it fit your dumb fucking abstract economic philosophies. Your libertarian boner for the Free Market is not based on any sort of concrete observation of the world but just on some asshole who wrote X book on why capitalism is dandy and YOUR OWN CONFIRMATION BIAS.

>Something good happens
DURR THE FREE MARKET PROVIDES RON PAUL 2012

>Something bad happenes
HURR IF ONLY THE FREE MARKET WAS AT WORK RON PAUL 2012

Libertarians are dumb, the worlds problems dont magically go away if you leave them alone, stop being 12.

You're an idiot. The practice of Christianity (and any other religion worth anything) is based on compassion and a personal relationship with your God, it's not a blind, literal following of the bible's text.

I was wondering about this myself o.o

To all the talented young men who wander about feeling that there is nothing in the world for them to do, I should say: 'Give up trying to write, and, instead, try not to write. Go out into the world; become a pirate, a king in Borneo, a labourer in Soviet Russia; give yourself an existence in which the satisfaction of elementary physical needs will occupy all your energies.' I do not recommend this course of action to everyone, but only to those who suffer from the disease which Mr Krutch diagnoses. I believe that, after some years of such an existence, the ex-intellectual will find that in spite of his efforts he can no longer refrain from writing, and when this time comes his writing will not seem to him futile.

So /lit/ give me some easy to understand Robert Frost poems.
