/lit/ - Literature

http://www.amazon.ca/registry/wishlist/1GI3WG793Y9I8

Poorfag here with no expectations whatsoever; if someone gets anything for me- Thank you.

Apropos of pic, I wish Cameron would expend the same kind of energy and budget and technology on a real movie with a real story and real people. Wouldn't it be awesome if the sequel to Avatar was about the dude who stayed behind as a Gumby smurf, forget the character's name, and his new life on the planet. His Gumby wife, his smurf kids, and his process of learning to live in a new culture while he's trying to raise a family. No explosions, no Arch Enemies with Crewcuts, just an Ozu-style family drama. But with that breathtaking speculative scenery, the 3D etc. A half-billion-dollar indie film. Maybe scripted by Noah Baumbach or Nicole Holofcener.C'mon, freals, wouldn't that be awesome?

>>1135399
>Cameron
>Ozu-style family drama

Just made my day anon.

>>1135399

Well, I wanted Avatar to be a long and serious depiction of colonialisation in all its complexities, paced like the HBO miniseries 'John Addams'. Then again, perhaps the film you imagine is not too far around the technological corner - when such imagery becomes cheaper maybe?

>>1135397

I could easily upload all of these in PDF form haha. Want me to?

No pleading really, just thanks to anyone feeling generous.

The badass in OP's pick cast as Commissar Fuklaw in an Angry Marines movie, with Drew Barrymore playing the part of Cultist-chan.

Oh, and for the rest of The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant to be in my hands right now.

So could I, but I don't have a kindle or an ebook reader- I can't read off my monitor because it hurts the hell out of my eyes, so I'd much rather have a physical copy of the book.

Thanks for the good intentions though. :)

Me here, I just checked and I've been gifted Breakfast of Champions and As I Lay Dying.

Anonymous (or multiple anonymouses), thank you so much, I am in your debt. I know everyone says it, but I hope that I can repay this in future by gifting for others once I get a steady job going. Thanks again.

OK I'm the anon with the Cameron/Ozu mashup wish. Sorry, I guess I thought I was in /tv/, didn't realize the specific nature of the wishlist in the OP. So now I throw my hat in the ring:

I don't want anyone to buy me anything (I don't even know where that option exists on these things!), I just like looking at what you guys want, and seeing your tastes. Figured I might as well post mine too, even though there's too much /co/ shit in it.

Well, these threads always read as lists themselves. Everyone writes pretty much the same things and throws a link at the end. I, for a moment, thought it would be slightly humorous to make it more personalized. I decided on a resume type of post. But it being 3:19am my inspiration was quickly lost and I played the chili card. You never fail with the chili card.

In case my chilis deeply angered, saddened or in any other way affected you negatively, I apologise. I will try to take into account your feelings too in the future, I promise.

HOLY FUCKING SHITCUNT WHAT JUST HAPPENED

I hope this is not a bug or something

Who do I have to thank for this?

So, two people got gifted Infinite Jest the same day in the same thread?

>>1136172
Probably the author gifting.

Oh wait.

>>1136174

And somebody else got Catch-22.

And somebody else got Breakfast of Champions.

Someone to write military sci-fi on par with Heinlein's Starship Troopers. That's my most sincere wish.

Thank you so much for gifting me Infinite Jest

It was almost free advertising. 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

>>1136330
Bump for Anathem

who had posted here and not been gifted??

Well. May as well join the bandwagon - I like getting presents.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/1SPAB6QT4BHJV

I have enough books.

But fuck it:
http://amzn.com/w/2JC3U8AUHUVO4

If there was a way to buy people books that aren't on their wishlists, I'd get you all Star Wars novels.

>>1136437
Which should I add to my list so you can buy me one?

>>1136055
Thank you so much, whoever bought me The Autobiography of Malcolm X.

>>1136444
If you added a Star Wars novel, I'd just opt to buy you a Battlestar Galactica novel. If you added that, Star Trek novel.

>>1136437

I think maybe you can, actually. When you're buying a book from someone's wishlist, their address comes up as one of the possible shipping addresses for that order. If you add other books to the same order, you could send those books to the wishlist address and delete the requested books. I haven't actually tried this, so it might not let you, but as far as I can tell it should work (it doesn't even seem to have any safeguard against mixing up people's books if you're buying from multiple wishlists).

>>1136452
madness

>>1136452
So, you're saying I should just add a Star Trek novel?

Fuck it.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/2D19L9U697PM4

How the fuck do you know when someone gifts you?

Last time I posted I thought nobody got me anything, then a week later I get a book in the mail.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANATHEM

/lit/, I love you.

So, that makes two Anathem copies and, what, four Infinite Jests?

>>1136474
Go to your wishlist, find the 'Show' tab, then select 'Purchased'

It will show only the books that were gifted to you

Accidentally deleted my post here =/

http://amzn.com/w/2JC3U8AUHUVO4

>>1136482

Note that you can also do this when looking at other people's lists if you want to find people who have not already been gifted.

>>1136482
I did that, but it only shows the books I happened to buy myself from my wishlist.

One of you fuckers bought me The Stand, and I never knew.

>>1136492
I've bought things from my own wishlist, and they show up when "Purchased" is selected, so not everyone with purchased items has been gifted.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN SEPTEMBER SANTA CLAUS

YOU'RE SANTA CLAUS, YOU DON'T BELONG IN SEPTEMBER

YOU CAN'T EVEN BREATHE THERE

YOU

>>1136492
When I look at purchased, I see a few books I bought for myself off my wishlist, I don't see anything anyone else gifted me (and I know someone else gifted me a few months ago).

>>1136479

what is going on, theme gifting??

>>1136534

I think it's one guy who really likes Infinite Jest and Anathem and random acts of charity.

Do you speak French? Also, is your country really going to split up?

>>1136714
No I speak dutch and my country isn't going to split up, we've had these crises since the founding of our country, nothing's changed, we'll figure it out, no big deal really.

http://amzn.com/w/33G1OOPQJQAOX

Regarding wishlists and gifting, I have a question.

Some kind anon gifted me a pair of books a while ago. Thing is, for my country the shipping was supposed to take from 18 to 32 days, I'd like to know if there's some way for me to know when it'll start shipping or if there's some notification regarding that, because I really have no idea. I wouldn't want the books getting lost, the guy wasting his money and no books for me.

I'm not really impatient, but I'd say it was already over 30 days.

>>1136726
Why has your country so many pedophile criminals

Also do you like Amélie Nothomb?

>>1136743
I don't think so

I haven't updated in a long time, but my Wishlist is about 1,300 books long. I have a more recent .txt file lying around somewhere.

Also, ignore any books that you have a bad opinion on, this is more of a "check out these books and see if I like them" type of list rather than a "buy these books ASAP."

>>1136747
So I'll find out if it shipped... When it arrives?
Oh well, may as well expect it for Christmas then.

>>1136803
oh hush. It's supposed to be like a random gift.

>>1136804
Oh I'm fine with waiting, I just didn't know the process, that's all.
Continue the random gifting, anons.

Never posted one before, but I just created a wish list today... got curious.
I'll just leave this here I guess...
http://www.amazon.com/wishlist/2VRSBAA97B0I2

>>1136693
No, it's by Tamagami Takumi. They have the the original text, and the modern day translation afterwards. Plus there are footnotes throughout. Why do you ask?

>>1135898

>>1136889
I can't tell if that dog is sad or homicidal.

https://www.amazon.ca/registry/wishlist/YB9H30OGEQS2/

I'd really like Metro 2033 because I can't for the life of me find it anywhere where I live, and no library here has a copy, I've been trying to hunt down this book since I beat the game that was based off of the book in March.

The rest of the books would be nice, but not really a big concern. Catch-22 is probably my favourite book ever, but I don't own a copy. Meditations is pretty cheap, so if Metro or Catch-22 is too much, I'd like that.

>>1136889

You didn't enter your address, you silly man.

>>1136902

So I'm kinda new to /lit/, I mainly go on /v/ and come here for book recommendations (I wouldn't have read One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest or any Raymond Chandler novel if it wasn't for you guys), are gifting threads like this an often occurrence? Just curious is all.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/ESLKSKMDG50T

I only have two on my wish list may the Gods of Charity bless me.

Can someone explain how this works? I don't come to /lit/ a lot because I don't read that much, but you really just buy each other books? If so, this is the best board on 4chan by far.

http://www.amazon.ca/wishlist/11RI2OB79GQT2

>>1136939
Yeah. I don't know how many people total actually get shit compared to those who get nothing, but a few seem to.

>>1136902

I added some Lovecraft, mainly for my little brother because he wants to get into some Lovecraft, he's just starting middle school. I've personally read the fuck out of Lovecraft's stuff, one of my favourite authors.

And sorry if I come off as begging, I'm really not trying to, just would be nice to get a new book or 2 to add to my collection.

I've been gifted five books so far.

It'd be nice if my gifter sent me an e-mail telling me when it's going to be shipped, but I'm sure he's not around right now. Oh well.
I'm not some creep, I'd like to return the favor directly.
