/lit/ - Literature and Writing

I saw this at the airport.

And what books have you read this year so far, anons?

I'm currently reading an anthology of horror or madness stories, 19 in total, and unsurprisingly the worst story was written by a woman, nothing written after 1930.

Where do I start with Archie comics?
What are the essential issues?
Which ones are canon and non-canon?
What are the arcs to skip?
Is there any reason to read this stuff besides masturbating to Betty and Veronica?

Recommend me some essential /hitlercore/

The Action Bible- Converted From EPUB Into PDF

The Action Bible is a retelling of the Judeo-Christian Bible in comic book form written and edited by Doug Mauss and illustrated by Sergio Cariello for David C. Cook, published in 2010. Andre LeBlanc's 1978 The Picture Bible was a major influence on the project.

Plot
The story is very similar to the Bible however some parts are modified both to fit the medium, and to fit a younger audience. The story is split into two major parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Historical events
The book includes mentions of Alexander of Macedon and the celebration of Hanukkah as well as the arrival of the Roman Empire in Israel.

I stumbled across something really funny recently. There's a japanese series of novels called Guin Saga. Content-wise, it's usually compared to Conan the Barbarian. (I haven't read it.) It's a long running series and has been translated into a bunch of different languages, but what's really interesting is that one country has really shitty covers. I'll post a few different variants on the first book to start off. In order these are:
>English
>Italian
>French
>French Again
>Some Eastern European language

Hi, does anybody have that bear /lit/ chart? Saw it hours ago, When I was scrolling down here.

These are some history books I've been reading lately.

The Story of Civilization Part 11: The Age of Napoleon. I'm usually not a fan of Will Durant but this is book provides a good synopsis of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic era in France. Those parts of the book make a nice little companion piece to David Chandler's "Campaigns of Napoleon". The book spreads itself too thing, though, by trying to cover every facet of Western Civilization during that period. For example, there's an entire chapter dedicated to Beethoven and several more just about poets and philosophers of the time. It's just too much to tackle in a meaningful way in just a single volume. Even the three-volume Encyclopedia of French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars failed to do that. Interestingly, neither that work or this has a section about Edmund Burke. There are offhand mentions made here and there (usually portraying him as the embodiment of stuffy English opposition to the revolutionaries) but no serious examination of him like there is about the other significant English philosophers of his day. This is especially surprising from Durant given his fascination with the history of philosophy.

The Italian Wars 1494-1559. This is the book I could find covering what was essentially the first modern European conflict. It does a decent job of giving a rundown of the events without doing that gay pop-history thing of trying to be like a novel. Personally I would have liked a little more focus on the military aspect over the political but I realize that's just my own autism.

Four Princes: Henry VIII, Francis I, Charles V, Suliman the Magnificent and the Obsessions that Forged Modern Europe. This covers roughly the same period as the Italian Wars but focuses on the lives of the titular four rulers who dominated Europe in the first half of the 16th century. Most of the figures it discusses, outside of those four, are portrayed in a rather one-dimensional way. It reminded me of the documentaries the History Channel used to air before it became all about pawnshops and aliens. Overall, it's okay I guess.

China Condensed Absolute shit. It reads like a summery of a Wikipedia article but without citing any sources and even more fabrications. It presents highly contested theories (like the Huns being the same people as the Xiongnu) and legends as facts. It's also very biased; it glorifies China as much as Post too long.

Former fanfiction writer here. I'm not sure what's the general consensus about fanfics or fan fictions here specifically, but I'm gonna ask anyway.

Which is better? Fanfiction dot net or Archive of Our Own? I know that there are differences such as AO3 allows scenes for mature audiences, while FF doesn't allow these kinds of scenes. That's all I know about differences between these two sites.
