Well great. Guess i gotta try this series again.

Been wanting to make this one for a while.

>>19062749
If you expected dragons and epic fighting before reading Don Quixote, the most memed novel in existence, you are a whole new type of stupid.

They didn't have corn in ancient rome, newfag.

This is great. We had to read it senior year of high school.

You could try writing down in words what you expected and what you got, then try to picture how those words can fit into images or representations. You’re also welcome to just talk about it in these threads rather than expect to just post a chart.
For instance, I’ve been wanting to pick up TMWQ for a while now, I always imagine it will be more like Sartor Resartus where it will be mostly talking and diatribes with a minimal plot to move the story from one point to another.

Is this accurate, Mishima-bros?

>>19062749

>>19065029
this one still hasn't been topped

>>19067613
Worth reading if you've seen the film?

>>19065029
this have never happened

>>19066544
I'm absolutely laughing my ass off at the absurdity of this image. Anyone with even the faintest knowledge of history would know that the "corn" that Caesar speaks of in Commentaries On The Gallic War is not the corn that we in the west are familiar with, but is rather a poor translation for the word "grain" which in Latin is "Frumentum"

Myself and many others who have read the commentaries would know what you're trying to refer to with your image but it's wrong. Unless of course you were already aware of this and you are posting this ironically. In which case I commend you for your post but it's still blatantly wrong. I would have gone with a collage of images of wheat instead.

7/10

God, if only someone did a World of Warcraft rewrite.

>>19067086
SNEED out loud

>>19066544
I never understood that one, and I'm not even talking about corn. I read the book and I don't even remember Caesar talking about grains once.

>>19067672
Perfect

>>19067751
I personally think the film is better in almost every way, but the book has some extra elements in terms of the structure of the story and goes somewhere different with the ending. Worth reading if you really enjoyed the film.

>>19067086
holy kek

I can't know if this a newfag or some /lit/ metahumour

The novel is exactly the What I Got being disillusioned at the fact that it's not the What I Expected, and the final verbalization that it desires to achieve the What I Expected.

what a fucking excerpt. picked up

>>19065029
halfway through the illiad and this seems accurate
I fucking hate the habit of antiquity to name things in full regardless of their relevance to the story. I guess it gave things a sense of gravitas when spoken? Regardless, it's a pain in the ass when reading it

>>19070436

Damn, I didn't expect this image I made for 8chn to be reposted 5 years later.

The devil is using pilpul to seduce the Venusian equivalent of Eve while the protagonist tries to argue the other side for days to no avail before realizing this is not a battle he can win with words and he has to physically beat the devil's ass to death with boxing.

Glaucon was the only intellectually-honest one in the bunch.

>>19071732
I really hope you're the anon that said they were going to read the book when I made that years ago.

>>19062757
might actually read this, CoTC was pretty good but wasn't sure about continuing down the Gardiner hole.

>>19071975
Dude their all awesome. CotC seems to be everyones favorite here but theyre all trippy as fuck

Would you rate it as YA?

>>19066423

>>19065029
Yeah I finished reading the iliad literally just now, this is completely accurate.

information was stored and transmitted through recitation. a whole history and way of life had to be crammed in there.

Isn't it a reference to his clubfooted friend who inverts Buddhist texts for fun? He doesn't see the beauty of the temple as transcendental, he sees it as something to he can victimize and own. It's been a while.

What's top left in what I got suppossed to mean?
Siddhartha was kind of bland to me

>>19062938
True to some extent but I actually identified a lot with Raskolnikov, namely his arrogance and posturing, so it was a better read for me.

>>19062749
>kitchen confidential
>picture of chef cutting tomatoes
>picture of someone doing heroin and someone getting fucked on a bag of flour

>>19075327
is this true? Might have to add to my reading list if so

>>19077493
This one is the third book in the series, make sure you read the Boomer Bible or else you won't understand what's going on, many people neglect to do this and they walk away with the complete opposite impression of what the author intended

>>19077528
do you need to know any schizo esoteric takes on the bible? I did a basic bitch cover-to-cover read of it years back + some stuff like Enoch. Anything else you'd recommend before reading?

Don't forget that the Devil is doing this while possessing the corpse of a mad scientist.

I never would have imagined Ignatius going as the suculent chinese meal guy but from here on out ill never imagine him as anything else lol

>>19073067
I refrained from doing a serious one on "That Hideous Strength" because of its complexity, and I'd like to read it several times over, but since it's about first impressions, ask and ye shall receive. That concludes my little meme trilogy. FYI the "expected" is something like the first hundred pages

>>19072562
>>19063054
>>19078087
Here is the Space Trilogy in order. Out of the Silent planet is a classic scifi, not too deep, pretty /comf/. Perelandra is a divine-intellect theological masterfuckingpiece, That Hideous Strength is more "down-to-Earth" so to say, not an adventure story, just a novel with a richness of themes that starts off quite slowly. All three novels are very different in style, but take place in the same "universe" and are a loose continuation. I wouldn't recommend Perelandra without the context of Out of the Silent Planet. Honestly you can read That Hideous Strength without the context of the other two if you just understand a summary of the structure of the universe. CS Lewis is real fun folks, but God Perelandra is beautiful

>>19078087
oops that excerpt had a typo

>>19071732

I don't give a fuck about what you think you know, macaco.

>>19072562
Any books that feel like Metroid?

>>19073817
I think so. It's the kind of novel I wish I'd read when I was younger, before my love of reading withered into a bland compulsion to read the classics.

>>19080427
The premise does sound like something that would come out today. I think I will check it out when I'm in between books.

Literally bang on, after the scene with the kid's mom fucking another guy while sharing a bed with him and her husband, his father, i realized it was gonna be a shit show.

>>19065029
you could remove book 2 entirely and this would still be accurate

>>19072173
I read this like ten years ago and all I remember is the I Ching.

>>19068339
Best I've seen in some time. kek.

>>19062952
This is without a doubt the inferior version.
