Probably talking out my ass, but there seems to be a push back against YA by female readers. YA for a while now has been seen as a girls genre and not to be taken seriously. Ive seen two reactions to this online, double down on YA and accuse anyone who looks down on it as sexist or read more traditional literature.

Though lately I’ve seen writers complain the YA label itself is sexist because it’s applied so often to female writers. They typically claim the book isn’t YA and that it only got the designation because the writer is a woman.

"I dont have any interest in these books"

This is the stupidest thing ever. You've only got time to read X amount of books in your life, why not read what you want rather than what some Hollywood idiot recommends or someone says you should read? Talk about spinning your fucking wheels for nothing.

>The Histories - Penguin Classics - is a valuable book to teach about the time period, and Tacitus, but it is not the same book as the hardbound version of Tacitus by, Kenneth Wellesley. The Penguin version has "modifications" of that version for the present audience, by Rhiannon Ash (Editor, Introduction), who takes the liberty of changing it, to make it "more accessible." In doing so, the immediacy of the Kenneth Wellesley edition is made less energetic and forceful.

Even translations are being dumbed down lmao and keep in mind that Tacitus is praised for being down to earth in his writing style compared to Cicero.

>as someone who’s favorite author is george orwell, truly nothing brings me more joy than fighting with conservatives who think “orwellian” = anything they do not like

>Notes from Underground is meant to be awful and horrible. The main character is indeed awful and horrible. What makes it one of my favourite books is how horribly relatable it is. Although in general, I think Dostoevsky tends to attract a certain type of temperament.
