Right now I am reading “Europe: A history”. It’s a very comprehensive overview of European history, very small details are included which I like


How do you enjoy the Hobbit?

Yes, I think reading is very useful, although I’m not reading anything specific currently.

Not sure if this counts, but I've been thinking of reading more of the Python book some more, alongside Drama queen on manga hosting website.
I still want to get into a more reading mood though, since I make myself way too busy lately. konata002

Used to read a lot from this author, and also intended to read more from the likes of Carl Jung but I ended up getting bored of deadtree tomes.

I've been reading Frankenstein for the first time. The story is more riveting than I expected shino001
It's fun perusing it in English and learning from it a lot of literary English expressions karen004

Frankenstein's rly good. Something that really fascinates me is how these old figures have changed through the decades. From the original to how the general public sees them today. konata003 This is especially true with fairy tales, and how they've been adapted by Disney.

Something I did after reading through an original of something, is to check out the most popular adaption and see how they compare. That can be something fun for you to check out after you finish reading.

Yeah, I liked the stories and allegories Plato put in the book. I think the stories matter more than the actual city Plato describes when reading it. There's some things I liked and disliked. I did like was the allegory of the cave. I didn't like the censorship Plato wanted, though. I know Aristotle also disagreed with Plato a lot in his books, too.
Reading Plato's other books, I do think Plato got more traditional later on in his life, comparing his earlier books like Charmides to his later books like Laws, and the Republic was written in the middle of his life, so in that way it is a more interesting or amusing read.

How did you like Frankenstein? shino001

Finished reading Frankenstein! Easily one of the best novels I have ever read in my life karen004
I wanna be able to compose dramatic English sentences like the ones in it

>>2301
I agree! I was thinking of watching the latest adaptation by Del Toro after reading the novel, so I'm watching it bit by bit now shino002
I had no clue about the original novel's story so it astonished me how different the actual story was from its public image

I finally improved my English reading skills enough to wade through novels so I have many pieces of classic English literature to read for the first time

>>2328
Happy to hear that you enjoyed it! And thanks for explaining Plato to me
I forget most of the things I learned in Ethics class but the allegory of the cave sounds familiar to me

I did a quick search on him and it's nice that I got a small opportunity to relearn philosophy
I should try to make a habit of thinking over ideal Forms of stuff so that I may not develop too pessimistic views of things from empirical observations

>How did you like Frankenstein?
I didn't know that the whole novel was written as monologues or that the monster became so intelligent that he played a role as an intellectual first-person narrator in the book
The monster's massive confessions of his anguish enabled me to feel like the monster actually existed in real life, it was a riveting sci-fi novel of existential crises
