/lit/ - Literature

is this a once a week, one chapter sort of thing? is this happening here on this board, could we just have a dedicated IRC for this?

>>20107631
How long is it going to take us to read?

>>20107851
It's a race. Whoever finishes first wins.

i started it a bit back , i will wait a bit to continue

>>20107631
How many pages/chapters a day? Is there a schedule?

Do we have a (bi)weekly schedule like we had with Moby Dick?

Rabelais is the better version of Cervantes. Should have done that one instead.

>>20107631
Actually excited to start. Any recs for the best translation to use?

>>20107851
>>20107866
It depends on what /lit/ think.
4 chapters per day (25-30 pages?) could be a good approximation but i don't know whether people have much spare time.

>>20109430
I like this.

>>20107631
I'm ready and excited, don't see any other reason for me to read it, so keeping up with a 4chan bookclub seems as good as any other

>>20107631
Any specific edition we are going to be reading?

G4Y0J

>>20109430
thirty pages a day sounds good to me. it would take us about a month to read the book

what is the /lit/ approved translation? I have Rutherford and Grossman

>>20107631
why can't we do another book? we already did DQ like two years ago. great book though

>>20110187
fuck off, trains already rolling.

>>20110229
yeah i know, i'll just reread it then with you guys but it's boring if we do the same books over and over again that most anons on here have already read anyways

Currently in the middle of part II, very much looking forward to seeing what others think of the book

>>20110267
Do you like it so far?

>>20110243
stop being a debbie downer

>>20110284
Without finishing it, I would say its probably the greatest thing I have read. I haven't read all that much, hoping to get onto Moby Dick this year. The book is quite big though so I have been reading it for a while, I will probably move onto Mishima - Sound of Waves.

Make this part of the reminders

>>20107631
Sure, I'll join. I left the book at home but the date's far enough I should get it no problem

Isn't 30 pages a lot?

>>20110649
It's at the very most an hour. Don Quixote isn't all that dense and it is generally entertaining, so it's not a lot at all

>>20109430
>25-30 pages a day
Are you guys serious? Does anyone on this board read?

>>20109430
Seems a bit much, I'm loaded in coursework. But we'll see

>>20110721
shut up poser

>>20110721
Is this book not like a easy read aswell? Kek

>>20110721
Neets do not understand the struggle.

>>20110721
go back to the cave filthy NEET

>>20110099
Personally, Grossman is the worst I'd stick with Rutherford. Read the first page in both....

>>20110721
Posturing like this just makes you look retarded. Maybe people read multiple books at a time, or maybe people are simply too busy to read more than 30 pages. The point is to pick an amount that everyone is able to manage, so we can all keep up with the discussions. It’s not a competition

>>20107631
Sounds great, thanks for the reminder anon, 30 pages a day sounds swell too.

>>20107631
23rd april huh
that gives me 1 month to learn spanish

>>20113052
If you already know another romance language, maybe 15 days.

>>20113052
>>20114006
Supplement with Duolingo and you'll be fluent in a week.

>>20107631
I was going to start this next anyways.

thanks for the reminder, count me in.

i’m using the lathrop translation and there’s nothing you can stop me. also following the openyale course on it.

is it okay if I supplement reading with getting pegged in the ass? would that help with my reading comprehension?

>The point is to pick an amount that everyone is able to manage,
this is a board deeicated to literature. if you don't read at least100 pages a day you should leave. seeing that people complain about having to read 30 pages a day is pathetic

>>20112723
How is that posturing you fucking gorilla nigger? You're posting in a LITERATURE board. If you don't fucking read don't come here. I'm sure you're one of those retards that keep spamming "bookz for dis feelz?" threads shitting up the board right into the abyss. Are 30 pages too many for your dopamine fried brain? I swear to god this site as a whole is utterly unusable and devoid of any kind of actual intellectual discussion. YOU DON'T BELONG IN HERE

>RANGEBAN AMERICANS
>FUCK REDDITORS
>FUCK NIGGERS
>FUCK JANNIES
>FUCK TRANNIES
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY
>FUCK PEOPLE THAT COME HERE AND DO NOT READ

tldr, cunt

>>20118053
Of course you didn't.

>>20118012
It's meds o'clock anon

>>20110948
By April 23? My last exam is that day.

>seeing that people complain about having to read 30 pages a day is pathetic
Being 'That Guy' that smugly points out how "pathetic" it is to read 30 pages a day, while gate-keeping an anonymous internet forum is much, much more pathetic desu. Did you miss out on the janitor application process or something?

What edition? I'm interested. 20-40 pages per day it's ok.

>>20107631
>>20107631
I'm going to do it! I had a really beat up copy I read ages ago but it's falling apart. I finally got a new one. Pic related.

>>20118012
yeah, you seem very intellectual anon

>>20118253
Is that one annotated? By who? I've got mine by Francisco Rico. Great edition. I'm guessing this one is not that bad if both RAE and ASALE are involved.
