>>418 >>422 >>423 Back in the day we got some imageboards, underfoule, clable6, acrimonie, frenchan. But they never last long as our internet culture is more centered around forum (now social media). There is also some dead 8kun board. If you want some active french imageboard community you can go on the french thread on 4chan /int/ or in traschan with the board /ent/ made by ancient acrimonie users

also, for learning languages, i recommend throwing yourself into the country without knowing anything, worked for my dad when he was an immigrant and worked for me when i came back to my home country

what books have you read recently, hikarin? what is your go-to literary interest? what's your reason for reading it? talk about fiction or nonfiction, academia or entertainment, everything in between, as long as you find it interesting.

however, discussion of manga and comics should be kept to the /jp/ board. e-book resources: https://annas-archive.org/ https://libgenesis.net/ https://sci-hub.se/ https://archive.org/ https://openlibrary.org/ https://www.gutenberg.org/

My current reads, alongside Anna Karenin which I'm reading on my ereader. Me thinks all the people posting about all the polemics they're reading should slow down and read some (good) fiction first...

>>429 It was really good. R.I.P to a Real™®© one, Codreanu. Taken too soon and by his own king nonetheless. Vindicated pretty soon after when the commies took over. I very much enjoyed his emphasis on the importance of teaching the intelligentsia the value of and respect for physical labor. Other fash writers talk about this too but Codreanu really lived it in his day-to-day.

>>425 Finished The Storm of Steel. The scenes and experiences he describes in this book are quite harrowing, it's crazy to think men younger than me were going through such horror! I am not sure if I could rise to the occasion like them. Although I am pretty anti-war, the descriptions of honor, bravery, comradere, and sacrifice he gives are quite inspiring nonetheless. Good read. Next I will read some sort of fiction although I haven't decided on specifics yet. Thinking either Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian or Braum Stokers Dracula. Also my book club is likely reading Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals so I'll be reading that too alongside. Hence I wanted to pick something fiction, easier to ingest. neco

/aca/ has the potential to be something good and original, don't remove it please, if you really have to you could just hide it the same way lainchan hid the /lain/ board (like you've done now), and who's in the known will go there and partecipate. If in the future there's enough action with the site in general you could bring the board's visibility back, consider it.
