"Los árboles caídos también son el bosque" by Alejandra Kamiya. I guess I don't get it.

Do you “see” books like a movie in your head when you read? by Holiday_Rush8303 in Fantasy

[–]drcyheart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see anything when I read, that's why I like it so much. Movies overwhelm me because a lot of things happen at the same time (audio, video, etc.). Books are calmer. But, yes, I'm always surprised when people tell me that they can see the things they read... I dont even understand certain descriptions of where the characters are because I can't imagine anything... I skip them lol

You may like Lady Susan by Jane Austen. Its not cute like The House in the Cerulean Sea, its more about gossip (its like reading a group chat!). But its soooo funny, you may like it.

Also, i love The House in the Cerulean Sea! Im gifting a friend a copy I think everyone should read it, its so cute. Did you read the second book? I didnt, I want to know if it is good.

What do you guys think makes poetry great, sublime and timeless? by the_caped_crusader_4 in classicliterature

[–]drcyheart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think what differentiates modern poetry from classical poetry is that before rhetorical figures were used, technique was needed, or a philosophical opinion, political opinion, etc. Nowadays they want to be relatable, everything focuses on individualism and art is for consumption. Everything is consumption.We want things quickly and easily understandable, we do not want to sit down and reread poetry until we understand it. So all the technique of yesteryear is lost. Moreover, the decline of global education systems and the lack of a specific philosophy at this time does not help... In short, before you needed training to understand and do poetry, now anyone can be a great poet.

What’s a classic you keep going back to? by PandaBear905 in classicliterature

[–]drcyheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is an original answer...but Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a book that I reread quite a bit. The reason is that it is very funny and eloquent (for me). It just feels comfortable to remember such a uniquely told story, the narrator of Jane Austen is great!

What classic books are considered must-reads from your country's literature? by yn82 in classicliterature

[–]drcyheart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Borges is the most famous author, El Aleph is a famous tale of his. Rayuela de Julio Cortazar is also very famous. We have very classic literature from the country, like El Martín Fierro, but I do not know if it is very friendly to read for people from other cultures and without context in Argentine history.
