I’ll find the link on Amazon
k
Says publisher but no translator.
A couple ones like this on Amazon. Really cheap and just the straight up book, nothing else
bizarre
have you read it?
Not yet
It’s a short read so I’ll probably sit down one day and read the whole thing.
lol no page numbers even

Jewish Question Reading List
While we're posting reading lists there's always this
http://4chanlit.wikia.com/wiki/Charts
the attached image isn't the only one, there's a couple dozen on there
Yeah sure thing, I'm currently doing the start with the greeks meme more or less. Going to start on the iliad tomorrow
I've been meaning to read the Iliad, there was a pretty good one I saw on Amazon a few days ago that was a great quality hardback with both the Iliad and Odyssey for something like £10
apparently the robert fagles translation is really good so i went with those, also because i like the way they look, even though the books are overpriced
I try to read books online unless I want them for long term use libgen.io
^libgen is a good site for anyone looking for free pdfs
Oh wait no, just found it, £17.16, 752 pages and bonded leather, there's something about having a physical copy and being able to collect them that appeals to me honestly
oh yeah, the leather barnes and noble classics are nice, I have one thats the complete works of shakespeare and the same for edgar allan poe
Ah nice, I have The Raven by Poe and I'm impressed with him so far, I'll have to take a look at the complete works at some point
Yeah I'm not some big reader or something, I have yet to go through a lot of them. I only just started reading again last year, made a resolution to read regularly so I've only recently been getting big brained
I've only actually read 2 works by Shakespeare but I'm planning on buying Holinshed's Chronicles of England which is apparently what Shakespeare got all his sources from. Being an Englishman I'd love to have a total knowledge of my country's history and it's Kings
reading pdfs are boring
i prefer to have it in my hand
from paper
oh I definitely prefer it, but online its free and quick. I split up how I read it @Sleightology
I'll add that one to my reading list, I know basically nothing about English history even though it seems fascinating
It's a pretty damning statement of the modern school system that I know almost nothing about my own nation's history
We spent all that time in history learning lies about the holocaust
^^^^
same
i knew nothing about world history and geography when i left school but i knew all about the holocaust and ghandi and nelson mandela
oh except for how nelson mandela was a murderer and a terrorist
what a joke
Pretty much yeah. We were reading To Kill a Mockingbird when we could have been reading the classics of the west
We did learn a good bit of real history at my school, but thats probably just because my teacher was a cool guy
Almost all of my knowledge, except for the basic foundations, I pursued and found out myself. I made a point of learning about politics, WW2, National Socialism, the English Civil War and spirituality, all through books I bought and the internet
same!
I remember learning about Goethe for the first time and when I read Faust I was just dumbfounded because there was this work of art that some consider to be one of the greatest books of all time and I'd never even heard of it or had any contact with it
