What would you say is the best translation I could get for Fear and Trembling by Kirkegaard?

The Penguin version is on amazing for like $3, but I was worried that it might not be up to par

Reading philosophy is only ever done for bragging purposes, but you really can't brag about reading somehting popular like Kierkegaard. Read a summary or something, then actually peruse something nobody ever heard about. That's going to impress the bespectacled bitches a lot.

How did you manage to misspell Kierkegaard when you have it written in the image?

Hilarious how people think intoxication makes things excusable, when in reality it's the opposite: not only he did misspell two words in a rather embarassing way, buthe's also freaking drunk. Poor fucking sod, OP.

Uh, I'm not drunk at all. Just not paying attention.

Sorry, being a retard. What's "at 2 strikes"? Not a native speaker.

Like in baseball, you get three strikes then you're out.

I was just saying that since I had messed up twice I was at two strikes.
