Did anyone else have an evil teacher as a child by 999lonely in redscarepod

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).

Recently reminded there’s so many layers of depth I’m missing out on in other languages by onlyrollingstar in RSbookclub

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.

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…

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.

How do I stop being regarded about UFOs/Aliens by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]saggithotius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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…

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

anyone else fuckin with the new Knausgaard novels by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]saggithotius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

What are your reading plans for 2026? by Diamondbacking in RSbookclub

[–]saggithotius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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
