and speaking strictly of history, I've found out that Dr. Goldsmith's History of Greece was a popular book back then.

My colored-folk, I was in search of the same thing after blindly going over the Greeks 10 years ago without any history or a wider perspective to provide me a guidence. Now I'm re-starting with the Greeks and I think I've found the gentleman to guide me through this.

Joke's on them, Mohammad was a trader!

I've read only Submission, The Map and the Territory and Atomised because you autists couldn't stop talking about it. And they were surprisingly good.

Is the English translation for the latest one out yet?

I like VALIS the most, but I'm not sure if it's his best.

op autistic confirmed. Dude; chillax, pick a book and read.
And learn "register" (mode, tenor, field). Go read Beyond the Sentence by Thornbury and learn why that way of "composing" text messages will not get you any P U S S Y.

beckett? non-canonical?

dem milkers, though...

the best satirist in the English language since Swift.

I find him entertaining. Also, if you leave aside all his New Age and conspiracy theory stuff, what he saying is not necessarily a bad thing. (extremely skeptical outlook, vigilantly liberal ideas) Though some people take him a little too seriously.

what's a LITRPG and what's the best exemplary text of the genre?

Ivan Franko.

protip: read it in the chronological order not in the order it is (i.e. the worst editor in history Uthman.)

it still is boring, at least it starts powerful yet gets boring towards the end.

that sounds extremely autistic. I'm intrigued. Where can I read more of that? Any sources?

>>13787529
MARVEL and DC publications.

>>13788539
enjoy.

>>13777811
okay, bunch of sticks, because of you and your stupid charts I have an ever-growing backlog. Fuck it, fuck this, and fuck you, too. I'll go and actually read some stuff.
wake me up when Houllebecq's translation is published.

Move to Iran, enjoy Islam, then.

>>13779496
Islam is another shitty Abrahamic religion. It seems to you that it's different but it's not. Stop LARPing.

Source; I live in Turkey.
Pic related; this is how you NEETs sound like.

read a book about it. Not about the language.

A book on Second Language Acquisition. You'll see that there is no "one way" but several. Try, see what works for you.

Also you can read about Language Teaching/Learning Approaches & Methods.

This assumes that all the burgers who live in the United Menus of Burgerland actually know English. An average native has around B1-B2 levels on some of the four skills -not even on all four.

Damn, man....

>>13751814
yet she's a QT.

>>13751719
That's where you're mistaken. She _was_ with the establishment, actually she was the mouthpiece for the Gulenist approach to Islam marketed towards the white-collars in Turkey.

She fell from grace after the coup attempt.

I'm 100% anti-erdoğan yet I find her work bland. And opinionwise she's irrelevant.
