They tried to kill it by killing the printed form of the language - it becomes only a spoken word.

When there are so many multiple translations - do any of them get at the original meaning. Is it aimed at modern audience, does the translator have an agenda??
As with political translations of religious texts

So passages that were for the protection of women which is not necessarily necessary in the same way but are now used for a more nefarious purpose.

TRANSLATION OF MEANING

Hindi is my preferred verbal tongue but I speak in Gujarati to my family, but I read better in English and I prefer to read in English

There are dying languages that are mostly only verbal communication now.

I fell in love with English as a written language

Until you leave your country I don't think it has the same significance or is the same soothing comfort. Language acts as a barrier - you can be safe and only communicate with certain people. It's not that you don't want to include someone but certain words don't have a direct translation.

With English you can't get the nuance of languages with separate genders, modes, grammars or forms of address for different contexts and people

Difficulty of a text set on symbolism - having a context and the context for example knowledge of the bible is expected.

Quick cuts and slowing and speed - taking away the intensity of death, the author intensifies

reels you in and informs you so much more than a visual scene and 4 pages are reduced to 10 seconds

An author can control the pace more

So shocking when they find the people in the basement - you have no visual cues or music or warning that it's coming

Is it more difficult to get behind a protagonist that you dislike and be a part of their world in a book than in a film/tv series?

Is it the time you invest?
Is it the immersive visual nature of tv? Do we refuse to build a picture of characters we don;t like in a book?

Sopranos vs loads of books with mysoginist characters!

Biography and Autobiography

I prefer more informative books because even though I'm an art students I want to diversify what I'm reading.
I think it's important to have general knowledge of other areas.

Revisiting at a later date - sometimes it becomes easier.

Lord of the rings when you were a kid vs a teenager for instance

One of us keeps them as feels like its a lack of intelligence if can;t finish a book and must revisit at some point or have failed!

Another person said she thought it was sometimes that she was arguing with the author throughout and that's why she wants to stop reading. Sometimes you doubt whther what they are doing works/rings true with you as a reader.

Once you've lost your patience with an author that's it!
We expect author's to be consistent

The context you need to understand some of these texts - buddhism and soldiers/war for instance.

Confusing and sometimes contradictory - different perspectives.

One of the reasons I love reading books is your are literally living under the skin of someone else. No matter how open minded you think you are - you're limited by your own experience -

Really enjoy the footnotes as the text is not so accessible and needs explaining

Reading as she misses her philosophy course.

A lot of these books are based around amazing ideas that we all find exciting - but does it affect the reading for pleasure element??

Trying to do the complete opposite of what some readers want from a book.

Book that can be re-ordered and

Idea vs the reality of experience.

Handmaid's Tale

When you have have to study and dissect a book so much that you loose the pleasure of reading the whole book

Cliffhangers - not knowing what the protagonist will do. This can be annoying and feels lazy
