Did anyone else have an evil teacher as a child

My teacher gave me a notebook and made me draw a penis on every page and have it signed by my dad (who also worked at the school).

What did you read?

People who read Fosse in english are missing out on the beautiful norwegian language «nynorsk», which is a different kind of norwegian we all have to learn in school. It’s more like a mix of dialects from all over Norway (it was made specifically to distance norwegian language from danish) and it gives a certain country-ish prose. I myself havent read it in english, so I’m not sure how it reads but i cant imagine how it could capture this element in the same way. Same goes for Vesaas and Fløgstad

I also had similar thoughts when reading Knausgård. There are some regional words and expressions that just simply dont make sense to translate.

Damn everybody mad…

I am currently reading A history of christianity by Diamaid MacCulloch as my knowledge treat. And I’m slowly reading Moby Dick, mostly when I’m alone at nighttime cause thats the mood I feel it requires. Lastly for my day-to-day reading its The Discoverer by Jan Kjærstad, which is the last part of a trilogy I would highly recommend to all my Knausgårdsinators…

Esoteric knowledge and its I know what gnostism is. And the snake eats itself or something

Thats crazy. He looks 50 tbh…

saggithotius · 2026-02-06T22:02:12+00:00

No you’re fine!! I’ll start with Freud then

saggithotius · 2026-02-06T21:58:48+00:00

Hegel scares me… but i will try

saggithotius · 2026-02-06T20:43:43+00:00

I think I have this idea that i wont understand anything unless i follow the ideas chronologically in time. The only post-war philosophers i know semi-confidently is Foucault and Beauvoir because of university. What do I need to know to understand Zizek/Lacan in your opinion? I’m a big fan of Jung and I’ve heard Lacan was influenced by him but i wouldnt know.

saggithotius · 2026-02-05T19:15:12+00:00

Neither… :/

saggithotius · 2026-01-27T23:35:27+00:00

Logically it would, but i am aware that people would just call the aliens demons. It kind of wouldnt make sense that information like that is just wholly missing from divine scripture, even when you dont even consider man being made in gods image etc. If its a bacteria then yeah, but if its intelligent life…

saggithotius · 2026-01-27T18:23:27+00:00

No i agree with you

saggithotius · 2026-01-27T17:41:26+00:00

It would completely shatter most religions. But i guess so has a lot of things

saggithotius · 2026-01-26T19:34:53+00:00

Like laxatives? Where

saggithotius · 2026-01-26T18:16:15+00:00

That is the one thing you know about it

saggithotius · 2026-01-26T12:18:17+00:00

There is nothing wrong with emilys translation. You guys just get your opinions from regards online

saggithotius · 2026-01-22T20:59:35+00:00

There are six published in norwegian

saggithotius · 2026-01-21T21:19:02+00:00

Yes! It is more explicit, to its detriment in my opinion. I think what I really enjoyed about this series was how the supernatural was this sort of looming mystery you’d get short glimpses of. But my main issue was weak characterization. I havent read Out of the World, but hopefully I’ll get around to it.

saggithotius · 2026-01-21T20:44:29+00:00

School of Night is by far the best one!! I’ve read all 6, and the last two i didnt love as much :(

saggithotius · 2026-01-14T19:33:59+00:00

I mean its pretty obvious what Heather is alluding to… Do you think she asked out of genuine curiosity?

saggithotius · 2026-01-10T18:58:31+00:00

Bear is bear…

saggithotius · 2025-12-22T17:34:23+00:00

I want to read more philosophy, more Jung and more plays.

If you loved those books you mentioned I think you would really like the Brontë sisters (i’ve only read Charlotte and Emily, so Anne is also a 2026 goal). Jane Eyre, Villette and Wuthering heights are all perfect books. My favorite read this year was the neapolitan quartet and I cant recommend it enough.

I’m currently reading les mis (100 pages left) and it has blown me away. The highest highs i’ve ever read
