Can this forum be used to improve writing?
If I post any form of writing, say an essay or an article or some literary work (of course in readable number of words, not exceeding 1000 words in any case), will it be analysed by matured/knowledgeable users here? I mean the forum's principal aim is to discuss about books, but can it be didactic ...

I'm afraid if I would focus on my mother tongue then my English will become weak.
My mother tongue is not English, it's not even those Germanic languages which are closer to English. Although, the school in which I studied the medium of instruction was English but the interaction (like group projects, notebook checking time, sports period) was generally in mother tongue, the ...

Re: Recommendation for some books written by a German (or on them) in the period of Bismark upto WW II.
Here's some historical audiobooks via LibriVox that might help.
Inventions Of The Great War by Alexander Russell Bond is a personal favorite of mine. It's read well and goes into details.
Well, that was a quick reply! Thanks. Can you please enlighten me with some German politicians who supported ...

Recommendation for some books written by a German (or on them) in the period of Bismark upto WW II.
Hello everyone!
I want to ask for some recommendation for books which are written by Germans (or contemporary writers/politicians in world) in late 19th and early 20th centuries about Germany and it's politics from the reign of Bismarck up to the second world war. If possible let the book be a ...

Re: What do elected executives do? What does implementation mean?
I didn't mean to say that the executives had no option than to follow the legislatures, the party majority and veto do have major roles to play but I was talking about the situation when there was consensus among them. If a policy is passes in the Congress and President agrees with it (thats the ...

What do elected executives do? What does implementation mean?
It is very evident that the elected executives (hereafter I won’t use the prefix “elected”, it should be assumed unless otherwise stated) do only what the legislative asks them to do. If the legislative is not in session the executive can make laws but they have to be verified by the legislative as ...

Re: Is the quoted passage an example of Stream of Consciousness or is it idiosyncrasy of James Joyce?
Oh Lordy, "beetles o'er his base." Whaaat? Interesting, that's from Hamlet.
That is something I want to know, I mean how you do it :clap2: ? Hamlet is a big work (I mean it's not short like poem where every line matters), how you recognized that Joyce was referring to Hamlet ? And I find these ...

Re: Is the quoted passage an example of Stream of Consciousness or is it idiosyncrasy of James Joyce?
@RobertTulip There is a very high propensity of liking Joyce for the reason so many other people like him that much
I want to develop a sort of adoration for him whose origin cannot be traced in other people's admiration for him.

Is the quoted passage an example of Stream of Consciousness or is it idiosyncrasy of James Joyce?
I'm reading James Joyce originally for the first time, I listened and read about him before (been doing it deliberately from past 6 months). To be honest, hitherto I like Joyce because T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound liked him and said so much about his modernist works , I revere James Joyce because ...

Which book/poem of Ezra Pound should I read?
I want to read Ezra Pound, have read Hugh Selwyn Mauberley and looking for something else. Did Ezra Pound wrote a poem where the theme is somewhat similar to Eliot’s The Waste Land ? I’m not good in searching for an author’s works. I need your recommendation on which work of Ezra Pound should I read ...
