Why should I read German books in English?

>>11516161
because german is a shit language and english isnt

>>11516161
How is the fall a German book

>>11516167
Don't you dare, German is far supperior and deeper than english.

>>11516104
Der Idiot, I should read it again, it was long ago. Have you seen the jap movie?

>>11516233
Well, I didn't mean The Fall, but I also don't speak French and I don't see the point in reading the English translation instead of the German one. Same with Dostojewskij.
>>11516234
I haven't. I prefer to read the book before watching any movie adaptations.

>>11516104
Really weak stack. Watch this. German is indeed a shitty language

>>11516167
That's just flat out wrong.

I'll add him to the backlog, it's really getting a bit out of hand at this point. Those are all RCIA goodies or gifted or borrowed from others, there is much more on a Kindle. Currently working through Frank Sheed.

You do get bored with them. There's like three big publishers over there flooding the market with identical looking paperbacks.

>>11516549
Only 60 pages in... Very detailed descriptions of almost everything but the language is not as old-fashioned as I thought.
And I already read Törleß... but yeah, the dialogues seemed kind of constructed and certain parts of the book were almost unnecessary imo

>>11516147
>reading original, with all the unedited (by translation) bias from the writer

Trying to finish these before I head back to Uni :

Ulysses
Blood Meridian
Child of God
La Vita Nuova

>>11516745
Of course I can post a screenshot, but I do not have a stack of physical copies. I cannot aesthetically stack them for all of you to see. You clearly do not know these feels, Anon.

What would you recommend for a booklet based on these?

Most of y'all have such boring stacks. Too many memes.

>>11516884
Brave New World (same vein as 1984 and Fahrenheit)

Other than that, if you liked Inferno I unironically suggest you read the Bible while using a study guide (you can find plenty online). Even as someone who isn't religious I found it super fun.

>>11516754
what's the yellow one? what print/ publisher

>>11516928
Brave New World has been on my list, but what do you know about the book that inspired it? We by Yevgeny Zamyatin.

>>11516944
I honestly have no clue. I haven't even read Brave New World, I read Fahrenheit and 1984 and then got dystopia fatigue desu.

>>11516884
Epics:
Prose Edda, Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid, Paradise Lost, Nibelungenlied, Faust, Orlando Furioso.

Dystopian:
Brave New World, Man in the High Castle.

>>11516955
Fair enough. Will give them all a check.

>>11516956
I've read Odyssey and thoroughly enjoyed it. Also have Paradise Lost but haven't cracked it open just yet. Thanks for the recs.

>>11516966
Have you read the Iliad yet?
It's generally considered the better book, and if you dig the Odyssey then the Iliad will be heaven.

>>11516956
>Faust I/II
How hard/heavy is it to read? Recently I read Hesse - Steppenwolf

>>11517023
I remember this stack from an earlier thread, which book are you currently reading?

>>11517052
Cancer Ward. I'm around half way.

>>11517050
I read it in German and it was an easy read.

>>11517023
Hunter S. Thompson is fucking great. Any simmilar autors to him? I'm also reading in The Great Shark Hunt from time to time.

>>11517056
Nice, and you're not lacking good books to read after Cancer Ward. I can vouch for 'the sailor who fell from grace with the sea', read it recently and it was great.

>>11516931
Reclam. They've been around forever and are pretty much dreaded by everyone, because they do not provide the most pleasant reading experience (small text, almost no space between the lines) and everyone was forced to read at least 3 or so of these in high school. However, they are dirt cheap and have a pretty extensive catalog, so if you need to read a classic novel you feel ashamed for not having read earlier and don't care about the book's longevity (it's gonna look like shit after you're done with it), Reclam books are pretty cool.

>>11516884
Don't bother with just a third of Dante's poem. Since you're a new pleb you probably haven't read the Bible and won't get it. Just look up the /lit/ starter guide to literature, and once you manage reading decently, get into the basic Greeks

>>11517069
I plan on reading every book I buy, so I'm sure I'll get to it at some point.

Never read any Mishima before.

>>11517063
You should read Portnoy's Complaint by Philip Roth.

>>11517050
Easy; a lot of students have to read the first part for German class in 10th/11th grade.

>>11517076
Good advice. I haven't finished Inferno just yet, and I was afraid of reading Paradise Lost for the same reason (not fully reading the bible beforehand). Wouldn't fully get its message. Any particular books on the start kit you'd rec? Or just pick one?

>>11516884
Please for the love of god read the rest of the Divine Comedy

Bought all these on ambien last night. Mainly got all the pop biology books to wokepill friends on biodiversity.
Did I rip myself off?

>>11517103
what site is that

>>11517100
I absolutely do plan on it, anon.
Might read more of the bible first before really getting further.

>>11517086
Just pick one that looks interesting desu, most are pretty quick reads

>>11517147
Will do. Thanks anon.

>>11517115
Thrift books right now they are doing this deal. Every 1$ you spend you get 15 points, 500 points is a free $5> book. Pretty good deals.
What I got with my free book, I fucked up and got the same book twice

>>11516884
Read La Vita Nuova first. It is to the Divine Comedy what Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is to Ulysses. Mendelbaum’s translations are pretty good, but you should probably go with an annotated text if you aren’t planning on reading the Bible.

>>11516918
Even dude. You have a book about Rock n Roll. Maybe you should read more “memes”.

>>11516966
Paradise Lost is a masterpiece. Probably the best mirror as to what it is to be human that we have.

Hunter S. Thompson - The Las Vegas one
Philip K. Dick - Dr. Bloodmoney
Bernhard Schlink - The one that tells about a freed prisoner.

>>11516104

>>11517953
I have not, but I have read books by different authors.

>>11517600

you really should read at least V. before Gravity's Rainbow as a handful of characters are first introduced in the former.

>>11517945
Oh Freud too, hard read but worth it

>>11517991
Stack is very loosely defined.

Those are just the books that I've purchased in the past 2 months. But yes it will most likely take me around two years to get through it all.

>>11517979
Nope. Can't remember why I got this edition. There was a reason (other than the nice cover).

>>11517023
You're missing the third book to the Evans Third Reich trilogy friendo

usually go to this thrift store for something else, the book section is generally so bad that I dont bother to look anymore but today everything changed.

>>11516104
You need to step it up, anon. It almost looks like you're in high school and posted your required reading.

>>11517998
I think it's a bit dry but otherwise easy to read. The translator is a linguistic mastermind stringing together half-page sentences with beautiful flow. The value of the content may be up for debate, along with McKenna, but it's interesting.

>>11517023
that is an atrocious rug

>>11517044

>>11518028
No I'm not. The Third Reich at War was in a previous stack.

>>11518100
Yeah it's Swedish.

>>11517456
>Anaconda
Actually the worst fucking publisher I've ever come across on the German market. I've their selection of Neetchee (I hate the ambiguity in 'gesammelte Werke', by the way), and the selection is piss poor and mostly from his later period. They're hardback, but in name only, because it's obvious from the very first touch that it's shit quality, you can tell from the weight alone. I can barely use my Anaconda Nietzsche or my Capital as a paperweight.
Then there's the typos, fucking blatant typos like commas in the middle of words (Stefan Zweig's Welt von usw.), pretty sure they're paying five-year-olds with bags of haribo to proof read their shit. I was gifted a copy of Kafka's Castle but I gifted it right on and bought a Suhrkamp that I could trust. Oh yeah and forget about introductions or annotations because that would cost money, but hey, you're getting a hardback! No, just fucking pay five fucking eurodollars more and get a real book.
Fuck fuck fuck Anaconda. Fuck.

>>11517166
>only free shipping option is within the US

:(

>>11518145
Forgot: the only redeeming factor would be the aesthetics of the collected editions, but this is outweighed by the covers they choose for their single editions (usually complete ass and stock photo-tier). I also don't care for the fact that they often edit the texts to conform with contemporary German spelling.

>>11516656
It's really not that nice of a language

>>11518198
Well it was a German who proved beyond any doubt that your preference for a language or anything else is determined by your own egoistic interests whose claim to objectivity is immediately negated by the equally egoistic interests of your peers.

>>11516255
Naked Lunch isn't particularly fucked up, just gay and degenerate. It's really not worth reading.

>>11518004
apparently that same publisher will release complete edition this year, maybe even in hardback.

>>11518086
I know...I didn't really read a lot when I was in high school and had a teacher where we didn't have to read the books he gave us in order to pass the exam. I've been reading a lot of 700+ page books in the last few months and I went into the bookstore with the intention of getting shorter books and potentially books that I should've already read in high school as a sort of breather.

Good on you, anon. Don't let Effi Briest be your last Fontane, though. If you don't read a lot, there are a lot of things you probably won't be able to appreciate in it, so what's left is all the social realism and drama, but he could write very funny books as well with very charming characters, namely Stechlin which I recommend.

>>11519892
Wonderful. Has a nice introduction with the thesis being that the English Renaissance was much more than a runup to the likes of Shakespeare, Donne, and Jonson. Williams presents three stages of poetic development starting with the content focussed simple metrical style of the early renaissance, the high stylization and rhetoric of the middle, and the synthesis of the two in the late. Not sure what norton includes but it introduced me to some of my favorite lesser known poets like Sir Thomas Wyatt. Additionally it made me realize how good Spenser really was (although he is undoubtedly in the norton).

if you're actually interested in OE I suggest you get another, more philologically oriented translation. Note that I say 'oriented', not 'sound', and that I'm not trying to spark another debate on Heaney, just saying that there's a very noticeable difference and that it might be good to be aware of this.

most dostoyevsky works were translated by the same people, so it does not really differ by book. in general, geiers translations are regarded as the best ones.

Can’t decide on what to read so I just keep piling them up until I find something.
Most of them I’ve started reading but I’ve yet to choose one as my current read.

>>11525760
Yeah, the complete Josephus, for whatever reason, has shot down to like $13 dollars, and this version is a little bit more friendly reprint of that public domain translation, with a few notes and articles in the back. It's also everything that Josephus wrote that we still have. So I would recommend either this or the older complete works.

Is Carnegie actually interesting or is it just superficial self-help like JBP? I see it posted a lot but no one ever comments on the contents.

Stirner's ideology is a spook, as was his life. He was actually a bishop, which is why he pissed off Marx so much.

This is a very interesting selection. I'm a biochemist and very interested in the philosophy of biology myself, what has you interested in these books?

$1 each

v happy about “other minds” and “reading the oed”, was going to buy those on amazon

how is that Norton intro? what's in it?

I didn't even know such a book existed, I'll have to pick it up some time.
I fucking love the OED, and it's so easy to love because it's so obviously superior. I like how Longman's recommended by SLA people, Webster's by no one, and OED by everyone. Even the German Duden looks amateurish in comparison.

How much did you get the Landmark books for? I'm considering just getting them on Amazon for ~$20 a piece (Herodotus, Thucydides) because there's no way my used book store is gonna get them.

>>11533955
Ive seen some of them go on ebay/thriftbooks for like $10

Stirner was a gym teacher, not a bishop.

The only time he quotes the bible is when he is trying to destroy its credibility.

>>11534149
Has anyone ever read his critique of Stirner? I heard it's just a bunch of name-calling.

So wrong. That he flips quotes on their storied heads doesn't 'destroy' its credibility, if there's any destruction going on it's Destruktion which is no destruction at all. In some cases there's reason to believe it's more like a reversion to Early Christianic sentiments, for example 'gebt dem Kaiser, was des Kaisers is'. This has nothing to do with servitude or the church having to be inside the state and no parallel to or above it, in reality Jesus was saying the state is utterly unimportant to a man of faith. Stirner is not the only one to have done so, Egon Friedell called Protestantism a perversion of Christianity for much the same reason.
Johanes was an eremite who ate locusts and wild honey, why should he have had anything to do with the state? Stirner isn't on the edges or outside of tradition, he's arguing from within tradition and in this way has much more in common with modernist poets than post-modernist ones.

These are all pretty old, nowadays I just pirate stuff and read it on my phone.

do you think there's an in-joke at wordsworth headquarters or like a running gag where they see just how much they can get away with before people tear their eyes out? I was about to say that picture's a screencap from the intro to Age of Mythology but that's not being fair to AoM

The Prince is really good if you want an insight into how politicians think.

Art of Motorcycle maintenance is a nice story about quality

The Stranger was a nice story about finding yourself

I fell for it
