/lit/ - Literature

There is a wiki link in the sticky with literally 99% of the charts that appear in these weekly threads.

>>10317688
That link has probably only 25% of what's posted here because it's never updated. Also, these threads lead to discussion and can improve the charts

What is the difference between being a reactionary and being fascist?

>>10317792
reactionary is a dogwhistle term
fascist is what they mean

>>10317792
fascists are reactionaries
not all reactionaries are fascists

Fight Club is set in DE?

>>10318243
Yeah Wilmington, DE.

>>10317694
Good pic, but slightly outdated. De avonden has recently been translated into English.

https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/01/why-it-took-so-long-to-translate-a-dutch-classic/514604/

Would recommend 9/10, especially for neets/autists.

I've been thinking about this question for about 10 minutes now. I think that everything on the list is too hard to read for a beginner (if you meant 'read it in Dutch'). If you absolutely want to read something from that picture, it would probably have to be Turkish Delight (Turks fruit) or Cheese (Kaas).
If I may make some recommendations that are not bound to that image, I would first suggest "De tweeling" by Tessa de Loo, which is something a ~15 year old would read over here. It's a great story though, and I would recommend that as a first Dutch book.

Closer to the themes of /lit/ there is also Odysseus: een man van verhalen, by Imme Dros. This one should also not be too hard to read.

>>10318419
every miller lite drinking, fox news watching pleb is a reactionary on account of saying "man we really should do something about the mexicans" or whatever but you don't get to be a fascist until you actually start proposing concrete solutions to those "problems"

>>10318455
I see. Very nice post.

How are the Netherlands? Are you very welcoming to Yanks?

Considering a visit after I go to Ireland.

It is how far Don Quixote's influence spreads in modern politics, from the far right to the far left.

Anyone got any non-meme maths charts?

Thanks anons, I enjoy edge without being obnoxious about it.

key figures in german philosophy, history, and literature

/r/ the 4 part chart of analytic philosophy, I think it was divided as
>historical background
>philosophy of science
>philosophy of mind
>philosophy of moral and ethics

>>10319934
I remember that chart and that it was shit
read "Philosophical Analysis in the Twentieth Century" in 2 volumes by Scott Soames
its a graduate level crash course in the history of analytic philosophy
he's currently working on a tremendous 5 volume history of the analytic tradition (that largely expands on PAITTC). the first volume is out, and the second volume actually comes out tomorrow I believe

>>10319934
if you still want that 4 part chart though its here

Are van Gogh's letters worth reading? He's easily my favorite painter and I'd really like to read his letters if he's half as good a writer as a painter

>>10320016
yes
he's highly intelligent and his prose is a little eccentric
he's much more religious than you'd think
you should pick up the Naifeh & White Smith biography of him too, its almost 1000 pages and absolute 10/10

>>10320034
I always love an artist who's talented in multiple art forms; Joyce comes to mind as well what with him being an incredibly accomplished guitarist

>>10319830
magical realism?

>>10320059
Mozart's letters are also fantastic, he has a scatological sense of humour centuries ahead of his time

DDLC club didn't make me want to get into literature the way that Katawa Shoujo made me want to learn sign language.

De Avonden/The Evenings is awesome; It's the book that got me back into reading after years of hating it by having reading lists forced upon me at school. My Dutch teacher thought it would be perfect for a cynical asshole like me and he was right.

What are the essential classics of Dutch literature?

>>10322842
Hadewijch
Ruysbroek
Vondel
Conscience
Gezelle

bump

bring me the robits. what you guys got for robot fiction or AI studies?

>>10317685
Has anyone read a bit of this stuff? I started to get into occultism stuff but I'm not sure how serious it all is. Am i wrong in assuming it's mostly edgy, new-agey "alternative" nonsense?

>>10324613
I've read most of it.

Lose these buzzy concepts of "edgy" and "trendy," else I don't think you'll get what you should from occultism.

It's applied philosophy. I made no greater choice than to continue it
Best of luck.

Do omit Prometheus Rising, though.

>>10324734

Prometheus Rising is an interesting, digestible intro to Postmodern trains of thought. Albeit in whacked-up stoner form.

>>10318380
What a stellar argument, Socrates. We're all in awe of your superior intelligence. Now go drink your hemlock, you git.

See that's my problem, that's where I started, and it was like what >>10324935 said. Anyway, that's encouraging, thanks.

>>10321866
This is real good, thank you.

>>10327567
lol

>>10321866
made me laugh, but you do know that bourbaki has been translated right?

>>10328681
Are there english translations available for these books?

>>10328723
I didn't make the list, but thank you. I wasn't exactly planning on painstakingly translating every last word and grammatical construction. That's a horrible way of reading something.

>>10328732
yep yep yep yep
yep yep nope nope
yep nope yep nope

>>10328740
Bourbaki isn't really useful for learning
It's only useful when you are interested in how a certain field interacts with foundations (most don't need to bother with this)
It can be fun to read too, if you're autistic like me

>>10317844
Which of these would you say is the closest to a definitive version? If you had to only pick one? Read the Divine Comedy a long time ago (not sure which translation desu) but I'm thinking of going through it again.

>>10328780
What are you looking for? All around good version of the trilogy? Super prose version? Focus on individual books (most people only ever read Inferno and pseud the rest)?

>>10318423
>Women Studies
>Random Signals and Noise
>Naive Lie Theory
