How do you remove the DRM from an AZW file? That Calibre program everyone recommends isn't working.

I'm sorry, you seem to be lost. This is the literature board, one is expected to be literate here. Read the OP's post again and apply critical reading skills to identify your error.

It was pretty good. Kind of a male romance. He sleeps with everyone. Everyone is sad but he sleeps with them and turns out ok.

I tried to read this. Got half way, found the languge insufferable. It was amusing. I will revisit it and read later. It's in the public domain so one can pull it up online whenever.Pic relaed its the first edition of Goddamn Gulliver's Travels.

Then I read this. It was pretty great. Blair has some problems as a writer. I don't like his passive, morally blank protagonists.



My thoughts on reading the complete works of Shakespeare willyfan 12/12/24(Mon)19:27 No. 16499 [Reply]

Like many, I've read the usual Shakespeare plays, but recently I decided to tackle the whole package. And so I will share my thoughts here, for whatever that's worth.

I'm reading the gutenberg.org version. There are some occasional OCR typoes that were overlooked, but nothing too egregious.

All's Well That End's Well: Standard Shakespeare fare. Nothing outstanding, but decently entertaining.

The Tragedy Of Antony And Cleopatra: Boring. As. Fuck. This must be what people who think Shakespeare is boring think ALL Shakespeare is like. No investment in any of the characters, and I have ZERO sympathy for Antony. This is not a tragedy, this is watching Antony fuck everything up royally with a single decision that EVERYONE IN THE PLAY INCLUDING HIMSELF knows will fuck everything up, yet he does it anyway.

As You Like It: Again, a pretty standard entry in Willy's works. Bit of comedy, bit of action, bit of drama, and wrapped up with a bow at the end.

The Tempest was interesting. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. When all is said and done, I don't really think much actually happened in it. There wasn't any crisis at any point, the conflicts were either minor or immediately defused. Prospero's plans weren't in any danger of failing at any point.

The character of Caliban is an unsubtle statement about how it's okay to fuck over indigenous populations and take their land because they're ugly, stupid, gullible, and violent.

But it was pretty. I'll bet we can get James Cameron to direct it.

The pretty version was filmed by Peter Greenway, titled Prospero's Books.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospero%27s_books

It was a bit disjointed and didn't do much with the story, but I remember it had strong visuals. Not really worth tracking down a copy, but it might be worth a rental.

Timon of Athens: Lear Junior. Not as old, not as powerful, not as big a fall, he only goes disgruntled instead of really going mad, but I'd say their themes are in the same ballpark. This play lacks a lot of the power of Lear, though it's still worth a read. I'd say what it really needs is a more significant end, it just kind of peters out toward the end.

I Googled it, and oddly enough couldn't find much on both classical conditioning AND animal training. Except for dogs at least, but I assume the same principles apply to other mammals.

Hello fellow anons. I have made ventures to 4Chan's /lit/ in an attempt to increase the size of our community. They are extremely reasonable and intelligent people, and I think they would make a fine addition to the pot we call this board. My apologies to the mods, I know this is not directly related to literature, but it is related to the board itself, and I would like the community here (you guys) to welcome these fellows to our abode. Also, as reciprocation, if you would be so kind as to post on 4Chan's /lit/ and raise awareness of our communities coming together, it would be much appreciated.

But in the quantity quality emerges. That was the whole idea of the Chans in the first place. I also really enjoy both boards from both websites, and both have a lot to offer. I think it would be a nice thing to see these boards flourish with activity. Now, if you have a suggestion as to how this could work, please post, because I'm doing this the best way I know how, and this doesn't seem to be too affective.

>But in the quantity quality emerges.

Quantity does not always bring quality. You could look at 4chin's /b/ or anything like that and see why that's wrong. If you bring in too many people for the wrong reasons it just drives people elsewhere and doesn't bring in any good activity.

>That was the whole idea of the Chans in the first place.

No, they originally formed due to a desire for social anonymity. That's why they were founded, and the guy who made 2ch (the original "chan") says as much.

>Now, if you have a suggestion as to how this could work, please post

I did post a suggestion. I suggested some kind of project between the two sites that would actually bring users to both boards, and also get the creative juices flowing that would be a good starting environment for interesting content to be made. Doing what you're doing won't work for what you're trying to achieve.

Hi there 7chan. We are a couple of guys that just has started a lit-mag, the writer base stems from the /lit/'s of the net.

I'd thought i'd let you know so you can submit you works if you want to.
