I'm 30 and I live in Southeastern Europe, people are bit less autistic here and you can casually strike up a conversation with people in the book store. It's a very small place and you overhear people asking for certain books, like if someone asks for Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Spengler, Dosto, books I like I strike up a conversation. I later recommend Weininger and give it out on the house, I pay my friend for the book later. If they are young guys I tell them this was a very important book for me and I usually tell them its the one book they have to read before they decide to get married. My friend often has to order additional copies because I give them out often, the people where he orders from usually laugh it off and say: "WeiningerAnon is in action, again, right?" By my friends estimate I gifted around 50 copies throughout the years.

Some people probably think I'm retarded, I know for sure my friend doesn't since we often discuss the book and merit it highly. I sometimes play another sort of lottery in the bookstore. I put up a book I like, for example, Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality, and if a young, beautiful girl shows serious interest (wants to play) my friend has to give it out for free and I pay for it later, anonymously. I use it to prove that women don't read good books and that they're not interested in anything. Books I've played this way: The Illiad, Dead Souls by Gogol, multiple books by Stendhal, Pascal, Montaigne, Rouchefoucould, La Bruyer, Human, all too Human... I only ever lost when I played Marcus Aurelius, because he's super popular now, and that was only once. I often thought about that I want to disapprove the low opinion I have of women by these games but I only reinforced it.
