/lit/ - Literature

let's bump this again, hopefully some kind soul will deliver.

It's available in PDF (searchable) or DOC versions so you can easily convert it to an ereader compatible format.

Let it me said I proofread it as well as I could back then (I've learned a few tricks ever since) and it was pretty readable.

I printed it and started to make an physical book of it (with proper binding and hard covers) but never got to finish it.

I'll probably review this when I have more time.

Incase anyone is interested, this is a really fascinating book.

Where do you go after Borges, as far as mind blowing philosophical fictions and essays are concerned?

I really like Borges even though I don't quite understand him.

Can someone explain to me Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis, Tertius? Or point me in the right direction to some good books/essays on Borges.

since /lit/ rules prohibit fanfic does that mean we're not allowed to discuss "pierre menard, author of the quixote"?

By any means be Jorge Luis Borges.

>mfw I saw what you did there

heaven is a library

it will be a sad day when #ebookz replaces our libraries. gotta love how e-readers offer 0 real advantages over books and its sales are driven by none other than novelty and clever marketing.

i hate e-readers, the people.

Igor married Mika like in >a good movie. He was >a asocial Russian scientist; she was a doctor of >the university of Helsinki. Half of the year after the movement >(a year after they moved? After the move?), Igor enjoyed sweet sense of an unexplainable safety. Drunk >youths on center streets surely shouted, pissed on the walls and threw garbage all around – but he never mentioned a sign of aggression in his direction >(what exactly are you trying to say here, it is unclear). Even >the dark forests (or the darkest forest, or the dark forest, depending on what you want) that surrounded Helsinki and >the towns nearby were partly warmed with >the light of lamplights and cottage windows. In these park-like forests one could hardly imagine a gang with knives coming out of the trees rather than a young mother with a pram > (a strange sentence, but nothing technically wrong with it).

OP here. Since subbing is out of the question, I'll just add the time marks for each exchange, as a sort of script, in case someone wants to split and time them in the future.

Any suggestion as to where should I upload this? I thought of Pastebin but it's too much text and I'm not sure about the formatting.
I also thought about /lit/'s wikia which seems to be a better place.

Any other options?
