No actually start with the Greeks because they're good except for Pl*to

Omedetou, Anon-kun

Now you are ready to leave /lit/

>>17694074
Okay.
That’s how that works, froggo

>>17694074
Start with Nietzsche and skip the bullshit

>>17694087
I thought this board was for people who actually picked up a book every once in a while

>>17694169
>claims to pick up books occasionally
>apparently has never picked up a book with an unreliable narrator

>>17694074
This was worth starting a thread over? No one fucking cares. You don't have the brains for them anyways.

>>17694184
Nice

>>17694114
a good palapa is all a man really needs

>>17694154
>reading Nietzsche without having read Plato, Aristotle and Kant at the very least

>>17694184
kek

>>17694256
Nietzsche deals with all of them in about 2 or 3 chapters (only a few pages worth).

>>17694154
>materialist reductionist
I'll pass

>>17694100
Why what an excellent take. anon.

>>17694087
according to what authority?

>>17694114
not all houses require a foundation. house boats for example
> following a path well-trodden
how boring. could write a bot that has more personhood than u

>>17694724
>could write a bot that has more personhood than u
lmao another stemfag. Go ahead and write that bot, anon. Make sure that it is programmed to call you a fag though.

>>17694154
Basado (but still read Homer)

>>17694114
>>fuck it I am not starting with the foundations I am starting from the roof
Sounds based

>>17694074
You´re a retard, start with the greeks

t. someone who regrets not starting with the greeks

>>17694734
>missing the point
also, i'm a rigpig in the oilsands. get wrecked

>>17694087
No it isn't you Anglo shithead.

>>17694100
What's wrong with pla*o?

>>17694100
Mickey's dog is Greek?

>>17694074
The only book I've read that comes up constantly via specific references in other stories is Hamlet. A lot of the Greek concepts you end up just kinda naturally "picking up" as you go along. I'm reading the Iliad and Odyssey for the first time right now and it feels like I've already read them a million times.

>>17694074
Sure, you do you. Just make sure to start with the greeks.

>>17694087
such an obvious bait and still it manages to get (you)s.

>>17694114
Just because of this I'm gonna skip Shakespeare completely

>>17694724
>ditching a well tested system just for novelty

>>17695870
>system
dont be a slave

I started with trying to write again. Some of us had such bad education, self expression is hard. Getting more out of it than any Plato.

>>17694114
It’s a good thing reading a book isn’t building a house. One of your teachers should have explained to you that analogies aren’t arguments

>>17696091
They are still useful to express ideas and teach things, you would know this if you started with the Greeks

>>17694074
This is the correct approach

>>17694074
If you want to waste your time, sure.

>>17696091
It's a decent analogy considering later authors will reference those works and you won't get it.

>Supposedly read authors correctly and, even more than that, using a supposed "correct" order
>Still clings to notions of time management and optimization of knowledge

Bro, you are literally the Industrial Society drone uncle ted aspired to blow up

10/10

>>17696473
I'll get it if I'm interested in the author and want to read their inspirations :)

>>17696509
There's only so much you can read over your lifetime so you need some sort of system to find the most valuable content and preferably read it in an efficient manner. We're only talking about maybe 20 books here and after that you have much more say in the selection. It's a complete non-issue, just get it over with.

>>17696544
These are not just inspirations, you might be deaf to the meaning of what is written if you are not familiar with the cultural context. An obvious example would be poetry and Greek myth. A footnote does not convey the emotional point.
