Hey folks, thank you for the server invite. I make Reading Lists pretty regularly, hopefully you find them useful
@Callaghan I have never read the same book from two translators so I can't say I really know
But that one was Ginsburg and was really good. I've heard everything from the translations change meaning completely, to they don't matter much.
I have a mcduff translation of brothers karamazov I'm reading rn
Read the Bible too guys.
This is the copy i got a while back. It was 6 bucks and doesn’t say who translated it
Off Amazon
@Simon Scola it has to, at the beginning
This is all there is. Then the book starts. The end and back doesn’t day either. I’m sure it days on the listing on manzon
hmmm odd
does it even have a publisher?
No
Has anyone read Bowling Alone?
I’ll find the link on Amazon
k
Says publisher but no translator.
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
lol
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
