/lit/ - Literature

shit nigga I'll still have a lot of books but probably not the same ones as now. I few weeks ago I sold about 100 books that I had already read. I plan to do the same thing in the future to free up space. I want to concentrate my money on a few first editions that are easy to transport and store. I'm pretty much guaranteed to have dozens of books lying around at any given moment.

I've read a few of my parents' books they didn't really save novels though - lots of reference books and stuff.

If I ever get an adjunct position, I'll end up working with students who struggle with writing anyway. It's good to get in the experience. And so many are so grateful for it, which makes me happy.

I obviously like reading. I do it a lot, and very closely. I picked out publishers I read everything from anyway, and now freelance doing this for them. It's a special feeling to see a book even before the ARCs go out.

Same for me too. Came over from Livejournal in 2006, stuck to /a/ and /cm/ for a couple of years. Then /r9k/ was created and I moved there. Then /lit/ was created and I mostly moved here, since that's most of what I used /r9k/ for anyway.

Not much at all. Schoolwork is taking a surprising amount of my time this semester.
