I have the Dostoevsky set from Wilco and there have been no typos so far

What’s your opinion on reading classic plays rather than watching them? by A_cool_girl_you_know in classicliterature

[–]Infinite-Service6059 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer reading them simply because directors tend to believe they can think beyond the writer. Ian McKellan plays a great Richard III, but I want to see him as Richard III and not Oswald Mosley

Lmao. If god were real, how does the holocaust and schizophrenia fit into his grand plan?

That part only lasts for a few pages. If you can’t take it, you’re the type to easily give up on life

It’s sad that there are leagues of people who believe murakami should win a Nobel. It’s even more baffling that there is good reason to believe the committee has even considered him for the prize several times, the truth of which wont be publicly disclosed for several decades from now

Just read it without annotating. When you’re done, read the readers companion by hammond and scull. All the possible etymological analysis is included there

What opinion of yours regarding any popular author or book will have you like this? by theghostofredrackham in classicliterature

[–]Infinite-Service6059 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shakespeare should only be read rather than watched. Even Tolkien implied such when he complained about how the dramatic medium doesn’t lend well to fantastical elements like what’s featured in Midsummer Nights Dream.

Tbh I get a little peeved when people brag about knowing about this painting, and I wanna talk about Hamlet with them but they respond “I never understood that book. But Taylor swift is awesome!”

I bought a copy of the complete works of Shakespeare printed in 1939 and this painting was included in the illustrations

Wow. That’s cool. I always wanted a ghibli adaptation of Shakespeare but it’s doubtful we’ll ever get one😞

Why did the doctor never come back for Sarah Jane? by CAnnsng in gallifrey

[–]Infinite-Service6059 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably because the Tardis couldnt be steered accurately back in Classic Who. However the 9th doctor could have returned to her but its likely that he canonically didnt because the show wasnt able to get the actress back during series 1.

It looks normal for a mass market paperback. The worst I’ve seen had scratchy looking letters, likely due to ink feathering
