Could you tell me if Lewis' "Monk" is worth reading ? I really loved Artaud's so-called "translation" that is actually twice as short. Wondering if the original novel is as good.

Ken Babstock, I guess?
Don't know any good playwrites from here.

>>9184659
Oh, you said Novelist too. Fuck it, she has one novel.

>Joyce (I've only read Ulysses, though, but it's probably my favorite novel so far (I don't really read a lot of novels (in modern times, I mostly stick to poetry)))
>Chaucer (read it in Middle English (what's with all the modern translations, anyway, because there's only like 2 publishers with Middle English (it literally takes a day to learn it)))
>Sophocles (read it in ancient Greek (I'm learning ancient Greek, but Sophocles is the only playwright I've read in Greek))

René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke (4 December 1875 – 29 December 1926)—better known as Rainer Maria Rilke (German: [ˈʁaJnɐ maˈʁiːa ˈʁJlkə])—was a Bohemian-Austrian poet and novelist,

>I can copy paste but I can't even read what I copy paste

>>9186664
read it to me in a vocaroo

>>9186671
Reading it to your mum right now. She'll tell you later.

>>9186664
btw i vaguely see that there is an adjective namely Austrian applied to a man named René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke more commonly known as Rilke whom I put under the subcategory of Austria as he was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire which now is replaced with a place called Austria.

>>9183305
Melville
dude idk
dude idk

>>9186674
There's also an adjective Bohemian and his biography down the line, but I can see how reading that much would be a problem for you. Rilke was ethnically Czech born to Czech parents in Prague, which is a capital of Czech Republic today, and spent most of his life in what is now Czech Republic.
>the Austro-Hungarian Empire which now is replaced with a place called Austria
Austria-Hungary split is 9 different countries today. Please stop embarrassing yourself with these blatant displays of American education.

>>9186711
if america splits into 9 countries in the future i will still be considered an american

>>9186717
This is Europe. We do ethnic nationalism here, not civic. Also:
>muh hypothetical is proof
Fuck off. You might as well be a Floridian for all we know.

>>9186728
We are both correct, the only difference is, you look like an asshole for trying to correct someone who is correct. I'm done with you.

>>9186630
I'd say "Sombra"

>>9186732
>we have opposing viewpoints but we're both correct
>als you're dum and i'm more correcter
Murricans never cease to amaze me. The fact that people with IQ that low are allowed on the Internet in US is truly a testament to it's role as a paragon of freedom.
