>twink
I'm actually ticked off at how channers appropriated the term and misuse it constantly.
Twinks are young gay guys with slightly feminine/androgynous appearances and no facial or body hair.
Channers use the word 'twink' to refer to soiboys, none of which, as far as I've seen, are remotely attractive.
Stop using one word when you are referring to something else.

The only reason why she'd read it that many times despite hating it is if she were compelled to in some way. She either has to teach it or, like I already said, joins book clubs and has it prescribed to her. Portrait of the Artist is also another boring one, but I doubt it ever gets taught on a highschool level (where she would probably be teaching) nor would female centric book clubs touch it. Catcher in the Rye? To Kill a Mockingbird? 50 shades? Girl With the Dragon Tattoo? Something by Isabelle Allende?

Why is there so much Marxism bullshit nowadays? Like when will this fade away? Like we get it we live in an unfair world could they stop fucking whinning about it.
Just yesterday I heard the last name on the tele of a qt girl I used to hangout with in college and I decided to go check out her facebook to see what is happening to her and Geez ooh Geez. She was such qt sweety cuty girl; now she has those weird front-diagonal short feminist hair with piercing and dreadlocks and around her picture is a message in an other language (probably some Indian non-sense) about something. Like what in the actual fuck is going on?

Correct. I really like this little book. I'm working on reading it in the original Russian, which is incredibly slow going, I find the language really difficult. The concept of the holy fool seems to be lost on a lot of the reviewers, and I think that is one of the most important aspects.

I forget who but someone wrote some essay about it loosely tied together based on the fact that Conrad said nigger in the book. Also chinua achebe legit wrote things fall apart as a response to HoD. All the arguments and literature against it are trash but people think the book is racist.

Achebe himself called it racist in An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad's Heart of Darkness, but it's not because of the word (after all, nobody claims Nigger of Narcissus is racist – although it is very good), but because Conrad employs Africa as this distant place, 'the other', and the locals don't really seem to have any jobs or occupations; they aren't really people, they just appear out of nowhere, do something and vanish.

>Students of Heart of Darkness will often tell you that Conrad is concerned not so much with Africa as with the deterioration of one European mind caused by solitude and sickness. They will point out to you that Conrad is, if anything, less charitable to the Europeans in the story than he is to the natives, that the point of the story is to ridicule Europe's civilizing mission in Africa. A Conrad student informed me in Scotland that Africa is merely a setting for the disintegration of the mind of Mr. Kurtz.
>Which is partly the point. Africa as setting and backdrop which eliminates the African as human factor. Africa as a metaphysical battlefield devoid of all recognizable humanity, into which the wandering European enters at his peril. Can nobody see the preposterous and perverse arrogance inthus reducing Africa to the role of props for the break-up of one petty European mind? But that is not even the point. The real question is the dehumanization of Africa and Africans which this age-long attitude has fostered and continues to foster in the world. And the question is whether a novel which celebrates this dehumanization, which depersonalizes a portion of the human race, can be called agreat work of art. My answer is: No, it cannot.

Yeah, I don't agree with him either, but at least he did something about it by writing a book with Africans as human characters.
To be honest, I don't think humanism is the best rubrick for judging literature in the first place. Many great works are humanistic, but that's not what makes them great.
