Recommends Frankenstein
Um well, my head is swirling so much with a million books, but just for like little continuity, I would say read Pinocchio and Frankenstein. There's two creators who have created life. Japetto creates the naughty puppet who redeems himself and then Mary Shelly writes Frankenstein truly a masterpiece. Two different takes on creating being as a almost a god figure in creating life. [snorts] And I would say read some poetry of Sylvia Pla.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
