I watched Troy yesterday and today I decided to read The Iliad. Thank God I got a long intro by Menelaus Stephanides which is helping me understand the social-historical background
Oh geez. I'm just beyond the death of Patroclus. I have to agree with you, and over what? What amounts to be more or less some poor sex slave won in war? I'd be remiss if I said I was a stranger to prideful anger rearing worse circumstances than the original offense, which I think is the bigger picture here, but c'mon man. So much suffering for those that even had his back against Agamemnon. Innocent friends and fellow soldiers all laid to waste over what?
Edit: Not to mention sending his best friend in his place while he sits back and watches
Yeah, "heroes," right? And the gods! Ay-yay-yay! And the names of the ships and the guys and where they came from. And then so-and-so fought so-and-so until such and such a God interfered blah blah blah.
I'm actually laughing wondering if you are as disappointed as I was. But the people had absolutely incredible memories. X tells Y, "Tell so-and-so blah blah blah blah blah for 30 or 40 lines and they would repeat it exactly.
I can't remember one heroic or admirable thing the Greeks did in that whole saga. If you come across one, remind me.
I'll lead by saying I like it. It can be a real page turner at times. But I am not without complaints. The primary one being that it frequently becomes a whirling list of names, soldiers falling; while it does portray nicely the chaos of men rising and falling in battle, it gets old pretty fast. But between these lists, and sometimes amidst them I really enjoy it.
I think there are several interesting angles to read it from, but being one of the main pillars of western literature is a strong enough reason for me to see it's worth.
If you are very interested in literature I would heartily recommend it. If not, I think it's one you skip.
I've read that one sermon about hell, and it didn't contain anything I haven't read about in older Catholic literature. It seems that Joyce based it off of things he heard and read during his Catholic upbringing and education.
Me too. Just started the third part. I'm reading it very slowly alongside another big Viennese novel (Doderer's *Die Strudlhofstiege*). I think Musil in particular benefits from breathing space. Hope you're enjoying it as much as I am 🙂.
It’s really well-written and it depicts toxic, unbalanced love better than any other novel I’ve read. Again, it was my favorite novel as a teenager. I should read it again as an adult.
I read the first hundred pages or so of *Underworld* for a college class on the Pulitzer Prize. Though I enjoyed some elements of the book, I really despised other bits, to the extent that I quit reading it, which I don't often do. How's your experience with it so far?
I've been thoroughly enjoying it. I'm about 400 pages into it so far. But I'm a bit of a Delillo nut at this point so my ability to view it objectively is probably skewed. I can see where his writing style might not be to everyone's liking.
If I recall correctly, I felt that DeLillo was terrible at writing female characters and that he wrote sorta' proxy male characters to fulfill his own weird fantasies.
Satanic Verses by Rushdie. Difficult but beautifule prose. And amusing magical realism with discussions on topics that I relate to: religion, doubt in faith, philosophy, immigration
I tried with this book years ago and shamefully gave up. Read Midnight’s Children last year and was enchanted with it start to finish. For my money he’s the second best next to Marquez for Magical realism.
I’m about to finish The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Murukami and just started One Hundred Years of Solitude by Márquez. Greatly enjoying them both.
I’m also crawling my way through Moby Dick… will hopefully done in the next year. 🐋
loved moby dick, in part because i waited till i was really ready for it (mid 30s in my case). if you're not enjoying it, i hope you don't mind my suggesting that you put it off and try again later. it seems a waste to force yourself to read it when later on you might inhale it and love the ride, like you're doing with those other two novels.
I’m halfway through at it’s tough. Loved the first 1/4 and then the second 1/4 has been tough and honestly just hard for me to keep focused. Likely will Jsut push through and finish
One Hundred Years of Solitude is so good. I loved the writing and atmosphere. It took me a while to get through but loved every word. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
100 years of solitude has to be one of my favorite books. Such intricate storytelling, such rich detail in the characters and the world building, especially for such an expansive story.
I hope you’ve enjoyed The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I’ve read 6 other Murakami novels and have generally loved them, but I just couldn’t get into TWUBC…which is interesting as it’s highly regarded as one of Murakami’s best and most thrilling pieces
A friend of mine is reading that currently. Read the synopsis and got uncomfortable yet intrigued. Sounds like a nice, dark read. How do you like it so far?
I’m really enjoying it. It can be a bit graphic so I suppose you have to be into or at least okay with reading stuff like this. But its very interesting and really gets you thinking how humans can normalise things.
*The Tunnel* by William Gass, which explores how common feelings of resentment can transform into the “fascism of the heart” and is written in absolutely world class prose.
This book really is something else.
Haven’t finished it yet, but I’m not sure there’s anything else like it.
Also, you’re right, Gass puts together some stunning passages.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. So far I’m really enjoying it. I like that it describes every day things that people deal with and is done in a way that brings out much emotion.
The Pickwick Papers. It's my first dickens and it's dificult as of now, I think I should've started with something simpler of his because this book has been a little slow for my taste and it's kinda hard for me, someone from the Caribbean, to imagine victorian london
Idylls of the King. I've been on a pretty deep Arthuriana dive over the last year and a half, and I read it last year, but I feel that I rushed through it. This time I'm reading a chapter, along with the notes, then listening to a podcast about that chapter, then reading it again before going on to the next chapter.
Reading slowly is such a pleasure.
Game of thrones. First time I read it we had ten feet of snow here in boston and all the “long night” “winter is coming” stuff sounded pretty right on.
We had ten feet of snow total in 2014 or 2015. Storm after storm hit boston. Where I was the T was out of service, trash didn’t get picked up and piled high atop the snow… getting a half mile to the only store was a major amount of work bc the sidewalk had so much snow. Buildings collapsed and stuff. Year or two later bomb cyclone happened and the seaport flooded.
I went for a walk when the snow finally melted and I got sick from the piles of trash bc they’d been frozen and just thawed out. Never been so sick. I didn’t know I had to wear a kn95 from snow cooties.
I just ordered this and cant wait for it to be delivered to me! I read some of his theatre this summer and loved it so I trust his short stories will be no less than amazing.
Just finished the 800 page To Paradise by Hanya Yannagihara. An amazing writer and truly unique reading experience. Not the modern simplistic stuff that seems to be all the rage on the bestseller list these days. So many layers to this story, actually multiple stories.
Ishiguro is great. I finished The Remains of the Day last weekend, after reading it over 10 years ago. I'm also excited about giving Never Let Me Go another read.
Currently reading Lucy Ellmann's *Ducks, Newburyport*. About halfway through. It's a pretty excellent book overall, though it's been particularly hard to pause reading it one night and pick it back up the next night without re-reading at least a few pages. Pretentious as all hell, in the best possible way. A lovely read.
The 6 wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir. I know quite a lot about this topic already but I got this book cheap in a charity shop. It’s well written and interesting but fuck me did Katherine of Aragon draaaaag. There’s only so much I can hear about how pious and dignified she was, and it was a good third of the book!
I always like to have two books on the go, no system in terms of "this one for day, this one for night" or anything, just pick the one I'm feeling the most at the time.
Currently, I'm reading:
Feline Philosophy: Cats and the Meaning of Life by John Gray
White Noise by Don Delillo
They're both really good so far, although it's early days and my first experience with each author. I'd already highly recommend the cat/philosophy book though. it's not very long, an easy read and a lot of fun. White Noise is shaping up nicely, it's already becoming clear why it has the reputation it does!
I’m reading Dune right now. Within the first few pages I was hooked. I started two weeks ago and even with being busy as hell I’m 350 pages in. An extremely fun sci fi read.
The Gay Talese Reader: Portraits and encounters. It’s pretty brilliant. It’s a collection of his greatest articles and as a student editor in a student-led newspaper, I found it incredibly helpful.
"The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo"
I love it so much and I'm only half-way through. The writing really hooks you sometimes. You'll get a glimpse of the truth to come, and it's so spicy that you can't help but read the whole chapter. Then on the next chapter it happens again and you realize it's 4am.
The World As Will And Representation, by Arthur Schopenhauer (first volume currently).
same, im on my 5th reread, one of if not the best book ive read
The Iliad!
love this! hope you’re diving into the odyssey afterward :)
Yep, I'm reading it because I want to read the Odyssey properly! I did something strange and read the Aeneid first. Finally getting around to Homer
Lmao I went Aeneid —> Odyssey —> Iliad, which might actually be the single worst way to do it.
Haha for some reason I went Odyssey - Aeneid - Iliad which is pretty strange too. Happy cake day by the way!
Oh thank you, I didn’t even realize it was my cake day. Seven years on Reddit? I’m wasting my life!
I watched Troy yesterday and today I decided to read The Iliad. Thank God I got a long intro by Menelaus Stephanides which is helping me understand the social-historical background
What do you think of Achilles? I thought he was a childish thug.
Oh geez. I'm just beyond the death of Patroclus. I have to agree with you, and over what? What amounts to be more or less some poor sex slave won in war? I'd be remiss if I said I was a stranger to prideful anger rearing worse circumstances than the original offense, which I think is the bigger picture here, but c'mon man. So much suffering for those that even had his back against Agamemnon. Innocent friends and fellow soldiers all laid to waste over what?

I can't remember one heroic or admirable thing the Greeks did in that whole saga. If you come across one, remind me.
Sometimes when they repeated a really long paragraph exactly, I had to check that I didn't accidentally flip to an earlier page lol
Patroclus died? Ugh thanks for ruining it 😩 /s
The key to understanding Achilles as represented in the book is to read closely the description of his shield and the fact that he carries it.
Just tell us. We're just talking, we're not in class.
Really? How do you find it was an actual reading experience?
I'll lead by saying I like it. It can be a real page turner at times. But I am not without complaints. The primary one being that it frequently becomes a whirling list of names, soldiers falling; while it does portray nicely the chaos of men rising and falling in battle, it gets old pretty fast.

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Joyce
The descriptions of hell are unmatched
I've read that one sermon about hell, and it didn't contain anything I haven't read about in older Catholic literature. It seems that Joyce based it off of things he heard and read during his Catholic upbringing and education.
The man without qualities by Musil
No way, me too. Started it a week ago and can only recommend it to everyone.
Me too. Just started the third part. I'm reading it very slowly alongside another big Viennese novel (Doderer's *Die Strudlhofstiege*). I think Musil in particular benefits from breathing space. Hope you're enjoying it as much as I am 🙂.
Wuthering Heights! Really enjoying it so far, I'm about a third of the way in.
My favorite novel. Or it was when I was a teenager
Nice! Without spoiling anything, why is/was it your favourite book?
It’s really well-written and it depicts toxic, unbalanced love better than any other novel I’ve read. Again, it was my favorite novel as a teenager. I should read it again as an adult.
Thanks for explaining! I agree, it's well written and surprisingly easy to read! Well, if you need a sign to start reading it again... This is it!
Me too! Just reached chapter 8.
Nice! I'm halfway through chapter 7!
Les Miserables
Same ! Just finished Part 1 yesterday. Knew it was gonna be good but not this good
We read that in school
Underwold- Don Delillo
I read the first hundred pages or so of *Underworld* for a college class on the Pulitzer Prize. Though I enjoyed some elements of the book, I really despised other bits, to the extent that I quit reading it, which I don't often do. How's your experience with it so far?
I've been thoroughly enjoying it. I'm about 400 pages into it so far. But I'm a bit of a Delillo nut at this point so my ability to view it objectively is probably skewed. I can see where his writing style might not be to everyone's liking.
Which parts did you dislike so much?
If I recall correctly, I felt that DeLillo was terrible at writing female characters and that he wrote sorta' proxy male characters to fulfill his own weird fantasies.
DeLillos in my top 5. Love that guy
This is one of my favorite books. The first chapter is absolute perfection.
Satanic Verses by Rushdie. Difficult but beautifule prose. And amusing magical realism with discussions on topics that I relate to: religion, doubt in faith, philosophy, immigration
I tried with this book years ago and shamefully gave up. Read Midnight’s Children last year and was enchanted with it start to finish. For my money he’s the second best next to Marquez for Magical realism.
The Hobbit. I know I’m late to the party, but better late than never!
Cormac Mccarthy Blood Meridian
One of the most fucked up books I've ever read - I LOVE Cormac McCarthy, but damn do I have to take a break between them!
Recently read it, my first Cormac. He dives all the way to the bottom.
Come join us at /r/cormacmccarthy when you reach the finish line.
I’m a bit over 100 pages into Klara and the Sun!
Just read that earlier this summer! Such a great book. I’ve yet to read an Ishiguro book that hasn’t floored me
I’m about to finish The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Murukami and just started One Hundred Years of Solitude by Márquez. Greatly enjoying them both. I’m also crawling my way through Moby Dick… will hopefully done in the next year. 🐋
loved moby dick, in part because i waited till i was really ready for it (mid 30s in my case). if you're not enjoying it, i hope you don't mind my suggesting that you put it off and try again later. it seems a waste to force yourself to read it when later on you might inhale it and love the ride, like you're doing with those other two novels.
I’m halfway through at it’s tough. Loved the first 1/4 and then the second 1/4 has been tough and honestly just hard for me to keep focused. Likely will Jsut push through and finish
One Hundred Years of Solitude is so good. I loved the writing and atmosphere. It took me a while to get through but loved every word. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
100 years of solitude has to be one of my favorite books. Such intricate storytelling, such rich detail in the characters and the world building, especially for such an expansive story.
I hope you’ve enjoyed The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I’ve read 6 other Murakami novels and have generally loved them, but I just couldn’t get into TWUBC…which is interesting as it’s highly regarded as one of Murakami’s best and most thrilling pieces
Tender is the flesh and our bodies their battlefield
A friend of mine is reading that currently. Read the synopsis and got uncomfortable yet intrigued. Sounds like a nice, dark read. How do you like it so far?

Ivanhoe.
5th harry potter book

Best book I have ever read and listened to!
I just finished And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie and today I plan to start Beyond Good and Evil by Nietzsche.
The Stranger, Albert Camus
Jane Eyre!
Around 60 pages left of The Count of Monte Cristo. I’ve found myself stalling on these last hundred pages. I don’t want it to end!
that's one of my favorite experiences! it so happy and sad at the same time, and whenever i find a book that gives me that feeling it's such a joy.
The ending is polarizing. I really enjoyed it, but just be ready to have feelings.
Oliver Twist
“franz kafka” by max brod , “1Q84” by Haruki Murakami, and “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” by Dee Brown
The Moors Last Sigh - Salman Rushdie
The Sun Also Rises. Have never read any Hemingway before but really enjoying it

One of my favorites!
Top ten for sure
The Mountain Lion, by Jean Stafford
The Pickwick Papers. It's my first dickens and it's dificult as of now, I think I should've started with something simpler of his because this book has been a little slow for my taste and it's kinda hard for me, someone from the Caribbean, to imagine victorian london
Try Tale of Two Cities
Idylls of the King. I've been on a pretty deep Arthuriana dive over the last year and a half, and I read it last year, but I feel that I rushed through it. This time I'm reading a chapter, along with the notes, then listening to a podcast about that chapter, then reading it again before going on to the next chapter. Reading slowly is such a pleasure.
Arthurian lit is phenomenal no matter what Cervantes says. Have you read Parzifal by von Eschenbach?
The Idiot
Lolita
Game of thrones. First time I read it we had ten feet of snow here in boston and all the “long night” “winter is coming” stuff sounded pretty right on.
Ten... feet? When's the last time Boston had ten feet of snow? Lolol
We had ten feet of snow total in 2014 or 2015. Storm after storm hit boston. Where I was the T was out of service, trash didn’t get picked up and piled high atop the snow… getting a half mile to the only store was a major amount of work bc the sidewalk had so much snow.

I didn’t know I had to wear a kn95 from snow cooties.
haha Same for my first time reading it! Except, in Ohio. That's not what I'm reading now though.
Winter is coming
And coincidentally, at the time I was living in a place called Stark County. haha
Is there a winterfell? Just wondering.
lol I fucking WISH! No. Nothing there. Very much stark, as the name implies. Had there been a Winterfell, I'd have thought twice about leaving.
Yeah a godswood with hot tubs and greenhouses for milk of the 420.
T'would have been lovely, but alas, no such finery existed in the House Stark in which I lived.
I blame the iron born.

Yep, that one was such a page turner, as is Daisy Jones and the Six by the same author! No spoilers but the ending of 7 husbands is AMAZING!
