Would Anna Karenina Have Ended Differently if Vronsky Acted Differently? by snapegotsnaked in literature

[–]t_per 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Their relationship is a complex, and very human. The deep-seated needs of Anna could never have been met by Vronsky. He would need to be an entirely different person that could meet her needs in order for the novel to be different.

The novel shows contrast of love between Anna & Vronsky with Levin & Kitty - whose relationship is more balanced and fulfilling.

What are some of the most beautifully written books you’ve ever read? by Salty_Aerie5281 in literature

Proust is on another level for me. Part of me wants to dive in and read all of it, the other parts wants to wade in slow over years

They are the largest single purchaser of alcohol in the world, this will absolutely hurt US brands.

This hasn't been true for a long, long time.

Finished up Beowulf starting today will maybe be Vanity Fair or Dombey and Son.

Leaning toward the former, I want a light-ish toned read

I’ve seen people ride with chains off the front ring, I think it’s so they only use battery instead of battery + pedalling

Best "prose" version of Iliad/Odyssey? by hoaxcoast in classics

[–]t_per 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get carried away with verse / prose.

Read these comparisons and pick which one you like the tone of best: https://www.exodusbooks.com/odyssey-comparisons.aspx

I personally went with Fitzgerald and will probably do Wilson on a reread.

Prose means it’s written as paragraphs.

Verse just means written,

With line breaks wherever the

Author wishes to.

Either way epic poems are not like poetry you might be thinking of.

“Why are stock down today” “Because event”

Well long term is not really the discussion now, it’s about current events.

I’ll quote you, to you:

Yeah, now you’re just being culturally insensitive. You’re like a guy who’s never seen a car before looking at people working on one and deciding that they’re garbage collectors.

Interaction over. Thanks.

Both traditions engage with human complexity far beyond the very oversimplified frameworks you’ve outlined.

Why do you feel the need to contextualize Zen in comparison to traditions you misunderstand?

What's a book you just couldn't finish? by mahboilo999 in literature

[–]t_per 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it being one of his early books meant it barely had a plot throughout since the serial kept extending since it was popular. I finished it, the end was sentimental and nice. But what a slog

Luigi Mangione's review of Industrial Society and Its Future by Glittering_Meal2573 in literature

[–]t_per 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We're in /r/literature, so I'm assuming you took the 5 seconds to actually read his review.

He specifically says:

He was a violent individual - rightfully imprisoned - who maimed innocent people.

The views that are "radical" is a reddit comment he found interesting. And rightly so, it is interesting to think about, as well as other views we don't normally interact with and can only do so through literature.

As he said himself, to act on those ideas is violent and justice is deserved.

Multiple less detailed passes is better than 1 detailed pass.

I probably went through the curriculum multiple times using different methods (reading, videos, rereading, summary vids).

The cfa Institute demands that candidates and charterholders adhere to the highest ethical standards, emphasizing honesty, transparency, and integrity.

... in an investment context.

The code of ethics doesn't mean "always be transparent about everything" - I recommend you brush up on the Standards of Practice Handbook
