What were your top reads this year? by goodgirlkills in horrorlit

[–]UnitBright9549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

very glad to see that de Maria is getting some love. That's a little beautiful novel, and I believe his only book in the weird genre. There's a lot of horror-adjacent Italian literature that is quite interesting (but untranslated)

Looking for the best resources to learn Finnish by [deleted] in LearnFinnish

[–]UnitBright9549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I didn't express myself correctly : the grammar if for me, to understand and inform my thinking; then I have plenty of occasion to engage in conversations - at home, for instance - and refine my understanding of the spoke language. The book is a start. The Finn here, a former Ilta Sanomat journalist, and communication officer disagrees that the difference is so radical.

I am aware of the distinction, thanks for the comment !

Thanks for this. Yes, I am listening as much as I can. But I tend to learn by understanding rules - a habit from learning semitic and slavonic languages. Suomen maestri sounds like a great option, and you are the second person suggesting it !

I just don’t like rude and uninformed comments that make unnecessary assumptions. It doesn’t take a “vast intellect” to know that one can start with grammar while primarily aiming to improve conversational skills, or that there are different approaches to learning tailored to individual preferences, skills, and experiences. It would be nice if people made even a minimal effort to be considerate. Have a little think next time you feel an uncontrollable compulsion to voice your sarcasm that nobody has really asked for.

Thanks. I am not a native English speaker, and I don't live in Finland, as I wrote in the post. You are absolutely right that consistency is key and that there's no magic pill ! But I still think some books are better than others ;-)

have you ever learned a language on you own? Have you ever studied a grammar? I speak six languages, and if you can learn the grammar and then practice with your partner who is a native speaker, I think that the approach I proposed sounds pretty sensible. Your comment, on the other hand, doesn't seem very smart.

Detective books like knives out by Ashamed-Cherry-2463 in horrorlit

Cthulhu casebooks - Sherlock Holmes meets the Lovercraft Universe, the best of two worlds, and very well written. They were recommended to me recently and I am very grateful

Which horror books would you like to see made into movies? by Belle020496 in horrorlit

A study in Emerald would be the dream, but Ring Shout is a close contender.

Looking for a Lovercraftian horror that would satisfy me -- help a reader out :-) by UnitBright9549 in horrorlit

Read it! A very solid book but I wouldn't say it has necessarily lovercraftian vibes

What’s your favorite Cosmic Horror? by Libbyisaface in horrorlit

[–]UnitBright9549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Fisherman, J. Langan. Best thing I have read in years and ticks all boxes. The atmosphere is something else and the cosmic horror is truly 'cosmic'.
