I can guarantee Christine de Pizan is really interesting if you're already interested in late medieval Europe and women and late medieval women. Which everybody should be anyway :*

I've been reading a collection of work by Paul van Ostaijen. He's real good, you guys should learn dutch so you can read him. He wrote great poetry but also lots of cool essays and short stories which I didn't know before reading this collection.

Has anyone read Shakespeare beyond the high school stuff (Hamlet etc.), is it worth it? Reading plays feels wrong

I've been going to see unabridged readings instead of reading them myself but I go with a relative who insists you ought to both read and watch and she's probably right but

I find it hard to read plays as well, which is why it's a godsend to find online versions of Shakespeare plays etc. That's my tiparoo.

I wonder what happened in 2010-2013. I looked at book barn archives and before that it's Faulkner and other decent stuff (mostly, sure 5 pageDan Brown too and people reading Darwin all the time when Dawkins was edgy) then suddenly BOOM Star Wars mega thread,pewwpeww charge your lasers for Fantasy Space Opera MegaThread let's read loving Wheel of Time

Four-Twenty posted:really? i remember it from hi school as some bullshit typographical poetry that aged really badly Yeah, in high school he's mostly brought up because of the typographic poetry. But reading this collection of his stuff, turns out there's a lot more! There's 'regular' poetry, short stories, cool psychoanalysis essays, all kinds of stuff. And some of the typographic poetry is actually quite good. There's much more to him than Boem! Paukeslag which is all you see in high school as far as I remember. I've never read Chapel Roal, I'm sorry to say (but planning to do so some day). I've read one of Boon's short stories but it didn't really grab me.

What are some really good books about sex that aren't smut but are about exploring what sex means to the psyche, to society, etc. There's Lolita and the power of desire. What else? The more boner inducing the better imo I assume I should read Portnoy's Complaint. Also, Ada by Nabokov blue squares fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Feb 7, 2016 |

Foucault's three volumes on the history of sexuality, but I don't think your boner will benefit much. It's brilliant work though, naturally. Sade's 120 Days? That'll take your boner one way or the other, for sure.
