THIS THREAD IS DOING WELL.

HAPPY READINGS MY FRIENDS FROM /LIT/. BUT NOW, I HAVE AN UNRELATED QUESTION. I WILL BE STAYING IN A HOTEL FOR 2-3 MONTHS IN JAPAN FROM NOVEMBER.

IN TERMS OF VALUABLES, DO YOU THINK I SHOULD TRUST THE JAPANESE CLEANING STAFF NOT TO STEAL THINGS, LIKE MY KINDLE?

>>1069804
I READ A SCANNER DARKLY RECENTLY TOO! YET TO READ FOUNDATION AND EMPIRE THOUGH.

>>1069870
Japanese peopel don't steal. You can leave a bag on the street in the morning and it will be there in the evening. Niggerballs

>>1069870
HAVE YOU READ ANY OF PKD'S WORKS THAT WON SCIENCE FICTION AWARDS?!

I FEEL THAT THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE WAS NOT AS EXCELLENT AS SUPPOSED. I WISH THAT PEOPLE PUT AS MUCH TIME INTO READING HIS SHORTS AS HIS NOVELS.

PKD's TRUE BRILLIANCE lays IN A FEW NOVELS AND MANY SHORT STORIES.

CAN I CALL YOU NIGGER?!

WHY, YES, YES I CAN.

>>1069870
When I spent some time there last year I kept my VALUABLE valuables in my pathetically padlocked (tiny, tiny lock) suitcase, but that was just me being a cautious little girl. I'm sure they'll be cool.

>>1069890
Pretty much this. You know how none of the bicycles are locked up or anything? That.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSIGHT GUYS.
