Opinions please
I’m an uneducated retard and I want to become well read. I read, but I’ve never had any real literary education, and I don’t really know how to build one for myself. What I’m looking for is a progressive fiction reading list: something that starts relatively easy or foundational. If you had to tak...

Why are all modern Bibles double-column slop, with a translation so stiff and bland that it makes you snore within the very first few paragraphs?

>Big Brother keeps the population poor and hungry in order to control them This has always been my least favourite aspect of 1984. In the story, INGSOC deliberately keeps the people of Oceania in poverty and on the edge of starvation so that they are too exhausted to resist the regime. If you look a...

The Iliad is a slog compared to the Odyssey. Like I guess it's cool to see the gods do a bit more stuff but it's literally the same repetitive battle stories on and on and on in every book. Meanwhile the Odyssey feels much more relatable and like an actual epic journey, and the climax is much more r...

The famous orgy scene was because the clown was molesting the kids to turn them gay. So they needed to run a train on the girl asap to remain straight and with a human soul. Thats obvious to anyone who isnt a virgin. Prove me wrong.

I read this, and it was so fucking blackpilling. You'd think that in the chaos of war, everyone would be on equal footing, there shouldn't be any Chads or incel chuds. But instead, in the novel, the only character who gets laid is the author's self-insert: an American-educated Chad surrounded by a b...
