Excellent. Her only truly great work though.

It's very good

It's a fucking masterpiece. I don't understand how it's largely been unnoticed on this board

>>15123636
except it hasn't. it's the token book by a woman loved by plebs here

>>15123643
It's better than the typical book plebs pretend to have read by women like Jane Austen or Emily Dickenson

>>15123664
That's like saying Ulysses is better than typical plreb books people pretend to have read here like Infinite Jest or Gravity's Rainbow; it still sucks

>>15123196
This one slaps too

>>15123196
meh
only for history fags

>>15123676
I fail to see how both of those statements aren't valid

>>15123696
They both are is my point, so why gush over it

>>15123695
Let me guess, you're a fictionfag. Muh pretend stories, muh sophisticated prose! What a waste of time. If you read fiction you have the mind of a child.

no, it's pretty dull and mostly navel-gazing LARPing. maybe it reads better in its original french, but it's yourcenar just pretending to be hadrian

>>15123664
if you really think jane austen isn't better than yourcenar, you just have bad taste

>>15123724
And if you read nonfiction you’re complete meat head

>>15123691
but is still inferior to pic related

>>15123664
>thinks Yourcenar is better than Austen or Dickinson
this board deserves to be destroyed. filthy plebs

>>15123724
actually, i waste my time mainly with metaphysics or ontology. But history to me is just a collection of meaningless stories much like fiction is to you

>>15123754
Haven’t read that one is it good?

>>15123790
it's excellent

>>15123762
what's some good ontology and metaphysics senpai

>>15123756
Just be happy they are talking about books by women without saying which one they would have sex with. Small victories desu.

“Memoirs of Hadrian or: how I learned to stop tolerating Jewry and love the boipucci”

>>15123804
I’ll look into it bro

>>15123196
Based Hadrian

>>15123812
for beginners this is a good overview

>>15123813
shut the fuck up and get off my website

shit tier thread. does no one have anything to actually say about this book?

>>15124385
Best gay ass love story of all time, not much else to say

>>15123501
Opus Nigrum is good, though
