I was reading an introductory literary theory book a few years ago the authors randomly shoehorned a jab at this book into it. It was the only thing I had ever seen them insult, so I googled it and the plot seemed quite interesting. Any idea why they wouldn't like it?

If you drag out the "artist as magician/manipulator" concept from the tempest to 650 pages that's basically the magus in a nutshell. It suffers from first novel syndrome I think, Fowles even revised the text a few times after publication so there are a few different versions of it.

Can I seriously ask you how old you are? Fellow latino here, and while I loved Sabato as a teenager/young adult, now that I'm 29 I can't stand him. I tried re-reading Sobre Heroes y Tumbas and Abbadon, and really, it all seems so trite and falsely 'existentialist'. Almost the same way teenagers love Catcher in the Rye, but then adults find better things to focus on.

I'm 21. Abaddon is my favorite novel, and Sabato one of my top 3 writers. I don't think that there is such a thing as an "age" to enjoy certain books, after which they become trite. I would say that you were the one who changed, your worldview and taste.

Sabato is one of the bravest and most honest writers I know of/have read. He is perhaps the least pretentious too. As for Catcher, it is a great novel and you do not need to relate to Holden on a personal level in order to find aesthetic pleasure in his narration.

These are all from the U.S. which I'm not from. From my experience it's much more common for women to be reading regularly. Men are more likely to play video games. Though I would say that from my experience men have broader taste in media. Film, TV, animation, comic books, video games and books. With women it's usually just books, tv and animation.

First source is based on 1000 people in a non-representative poll

Second link doesn't claim that women read more, just that men read more non-fiction and women more fiction

The third one cites a survey that i can't find in the internet.

Women read more bestseller-fiction and mainstream-literature, if that is what you mean.

There are a tons of statistics and I don't see why anyone would lie on such a fairly unsignificant subject. The only ones who might care would be publishers for profit-reasons but they would care about the truth. Try typing in the opposite in google "men read more than women". It'll still find links to polls saying that women are the ones that read more.

Besides, what does your experience tell you? I find it hard to believe that if you went to high school and university you haven't met more women that are into literature. The men are usually more into fantasy, sci-fi books if anything, but still read less of those.

[Anonymous No.7378774]

>>7378770
Nice sources you got, equally as convincing as the 3 links you posted.

No, my experience is the contrary, studying literary sciences we have a 60% male and 40% female ratio, and the males generally are more into it.

Oh, well I expected the states but never mind. Here in Poland it's more common for women to go into humanities and medicine, while men go more into buisiness, engineering and hard sciences. I'm in engineering but I was in a humanities class in high school, there were like eight guys in the class in general, only me and two others read books regularly and those other two were rather just into sci-fi and fantasy. It's the girls that were more into literature. I knew people from different other schools in the city and it was rather the common tendency.

I find it hard to find the articles you speak of. Also, this isn't medical research. The biggest poll I found so far was with 2000 people, usually with this kind of social research you won't get much bigger. Unless it's politcally-oriented.

The introspective part was forced and out of place, nothing was leading to it.

Not him, but it's based on historical facts - Yourcenar has undoubtedly taken some creative liberties regarding his thoughts and feelings, but the novel follows the life of Hadrian, and is as far as I know, historically correct.

The Stranger, Max Frei. There is an english translation, but I've never read it, and from what I heard, it's not very good. And it's understandable, the book is very hard to translate in another language.

Your taste is similar to that of the "third worlders" that I speak to, third world being a joke. Mostly Peru and Argentina et al.

Chesterton was an unrelated statement, I'm saying he's trash and there's no excuse for liking him.

Just very "I read the sticky." Not much to shit on you for, all anyone can say is keep reading.

I'm actually from México. I still cannot figure out what you mean by "third world taste" and how it is diferentes from any other sort of taste. Also, Chesterton is goat, there is no excuse for not liking him other than >muh atheism or the like.

Those are my favorites.
Didn't cross my mind that could impress the average /lit/ stereotype considering that a few times I've been called a pleb for liking Schoolgirl, a book that most people seem to consider trash over here. Similar comments I've read about Werther, and I don't even saw threads about Kokoro or Soseki general.

good to know that i'm not the only one who thought that Tombs of Atuan was the most worthy book in the Earthsea series. I'm glad that I kept reading because the first book was aimlessly boring. I mean, Tombs kind of was too, but at least in an emotionally resonant way.

I don't read nearly as much as I would like to. I am addicted to reading 4chan and blogs, and sometimes I play vidya too much.

Soseki used to be more popular; he's in the sticky wiki. He's one that people here do read but don't talk about.
Personally I am a Cat is one of the comfiest books I've read.
I don't like Werther but lit seems to for the most part.

Have you got some visual novels to recommend for someone that loved Forest by Liar-soft? I checked out Sekien no Inganock but was a bit dissapointed despite liking the setting and visuals.

Heard of that one, was a bit afraid of the length. Someone told me it's over 100 hours long.

I'm the OP guy so anything that comes to mind based on my titles would be good.

I like you anon. I've read the first 4 books and that's my favorite so far.

[︁ No.7384798]

Well, it is pretty long, it's about 2 million words or so. It's a postmodern interpretation of the famous And Then There Were None by Agatha mixed in with some empericism themes of truth, the knowledge of evidence, detective fiction and love. Well worth the read.

Though I would recommend you read Higurashi before starting Umineko. It's shorter, only about 800k-1 million words or so.
