>Which I refuted, by explaining the falsity in Post-Modern thought to assume that THINGS only get better and evolve over time.
Arguing against the hypothesis that literature is guaranteed to improve over time isn't arguing the quality of classic literature.
>How can you know Homer is a bad story teller if you've never read the books?
I got two thirds of the way through the Iliad before coming here and starting this thread. Unless the first 380 pages I read were a complete fucking anomaly, I can say I've found Homer wanting.
>What are you even trying to argue?
That "But the writing's good" is not a sufficient answer to the question "What's the significance of this book to someone who A) already knows what happens and B) does not find the writing, itself, good?" despite how much you want it to be.
>Yes
That's stupid of you.
>No
You have no idea what's going on and yet you're certain it has to do with post-modernism.

Thanks for the Pepe nerd.

What's some good /lit/ music to listen to while reading? Something other than generic lofi shit. I'm so fucking sick of the combination of piano/acoustic guitar, phonograph static, rap beats, and audio samples from sad moments in TV.
