You neglect that Renascence authors started to detach from medieval latin and began to write in classical latin based on the writings of Cicero.

The reason they learned greek was because they were obsessed with greek culture. It had nothing to do with preference towards either language.

Vos plebes estis.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Latin nor has anyone mentioned ancient greek.

"In our very democratic, or rather, very plebeian age, "education" and "culture" must be essentially the art of deceiving - deceiving with regard to origin, with regard to the inherited plebeianism in body and soul."

- Nietzche

TLDR: You're all fucking plebs.

>He was small, unattractive and sickly, with a thin angular body and brown, deep-set eyes in a pale triangular face. He taught art at a secondary school for boys at Drogobych in southeastern Poland, where he spent most of his life. He had few friends outside his native city. In his leisure hours—of which there were probably many— he made drawings and wrote endlessly, nobody quite knew what.


If you don't know who this author is you are a barbarian with no taste.

Where I skip to the sex:

I held her waist from behind and kissed the back of her kneck, up to her ear. She continued to grind her ass into my cock, now hard and throbbing, desperately trying to break free.

I grabbed right ankle and began to slowly kiss up her calf and thigh, carressing her legs legs as I do so. “uhh” Mrs Fleck gave a small moan as I got higher, coming to her to the top of her leg, I pegan to kissing her pelvic bone, teasing her vagina. I slid my hands her and began squeezing and caressing her ass as I moved down to her pussy and began teasing her clitoris with my tongue. I began to suck her soft, wet lips, insert a finger into her vagina. She wraps her legs around my head and moans in pleasure as I continue to suck on her pussy.

You think this is representative of Christian tradition? I don't go to Church, but the "prosperity Gospel" you indict Catholicism and Orthodoxy— which are the mainstream of 2000 years of Christian tradition.

You're either a massive idiot, or a troll.

>quotes
God fucking damn, it's a quotation. Quote is a verb.

On another note, I like this...

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Robert fuckin' Frost

Because you don't want to waste your time?

Good reviews are guideposts. You can tell from a good reviewer whether or not you may be interested or enjoy a book— even a negative review may inspire you to give the book a chance… and a positive one can make you understand that you may not wish to. This holds even for classics.

Even for a person who (theoretically) would have the time to read every work of classic literature, they would be best served by first choosing those of their interest; if you begin to see your reading as a chore, you will avoid it like any other.

Science Fiction? You pleb.

What would /lit/ consider the most 'forbidden' book? Political, obscene, immoral or all, I don't care. Really curious about this one.

Have you read an author's "entire works" [at least more than 3 books] ?

I'm thinking of tackling Dickens...what should I expect other than fantastic writing and extremely sentimental stories?
