/lit/ - Literature

>=)

Fuck. Off.

These are the only threads where people use fucking smileys. So cute, I might just buy you a load of books you can already afford to buy yourself, or maybe that Kindle or PSP or Xbox 360 you by chance just HAPPENED to slipped into your wishlist.

I support your wishlist thread, OP, but I myself am in wishlist limbo because I know I'm getting a Kindle for Xmas.

>>1371031

shut the fuck up. you fairy. you cunt. stay the fuck out of this thread. lit gifts each other. it's fun. don't like it? lick my asshole. not OP btw, just a concerned /lit/izen. you anti-wishlist faggots need to shut those cockholsters you call mouths.

:D

>>1371031
OP here, I don't have the time to play games nor to buy books, I hate all kinds of e-readers, and these two books represent to me both fantastic editions and great content. But I can't afford them, because I have barely enough summer job money left for my college fund, and the timetable is way too dreadful & random for me to get a part time job. SO as much as I may understand - respect, even - your position on gift threads worldwide, you're pretty much wrong on everything.

I gifted some dudes earlier on in the week but I'm all for receiving something

>>1371127
femanon here, you just lost a potential gift0r, mister cunt stomper

>>1371127

This idiot posts in every single wishlist thread. Every single one. You have no life, and you're greedy.

I suggest we all try to gift OP for having the least items. Since he will, thus, be actually reading what he knows he truly wishes for, unlike most of us with gigantic, meaningless lists. I'm definitely doing it once someone shares the idea and does it first (to avoid double gifting).

>>1371152
pretty much. y u mad tho

you misunderstand. i stomp cunts in a good way

why do you use the same picture every time? No one buy this guy anything, ever.

I've never done this before, but I'd be very grateful. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/wishlist/ref=sv__0

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/registry/wishlist/ref=wish_list

Only want 2001 and Starship Troopers but the others wouldn't be bad at all.

>>1371183

no shit, I'm sure you've gotten plenty of shit from the misguided fools with charity in their hearts. the point is, what have you BOUGHT, you lecherous twat?

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/registry.html?ie=UTF8&type=wishlist&id=1QFVBAUOUJBM6

Thanks if you get me something, no hard feelings if you don't.

Gifting is god tier.


http://www.amazon.ca/wishlist/1LFNTYFIPYFGC

I've never done this before, do people get to see who brought them stuff? Or are there a load of freeloaders?

>>1371231

I've gifted twice, and gotten gifted twice...but I've done either recently. I do, however, check out people's lists in almost all the threads. The only genuine freeloader is this guy >>1371127

>>1371231

>brought them stuff

I don't have lots of things in it, guess i'll add a couple pf books. Also, there are a lot of comics there.

>who has brought them stuff?

>>1371206

http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/2Z7HTU38TI6ZP

I don't expect anything, but I have a fiver to spare, so I might be gifting someone who has what I deem "good taste"!

>>1371273
"Be seeing you!"

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3ELI5GEK0RGUY

full of stuff that might not be on the average radar.

http://amzn.com/w/XNWQSDU04DGB

Just random books.

http://amzn.com/w/39RKI2KURUXX3

I like how some people haven't entered their address, so even if we wanted to gift them, we can't.

Annoyingly I've left my card at another house and so can't gift anyone anything until tomorrow afternoon.

>>1371385

Mine is like that, but that is because all of my books are for the Kindle so I don't need them to be physically shipped to me. :/

>>1371394

Ah, fair enough then.
I tried to go past the shipping section with one, but it didn't work without an address, maybe I picked a physical book (in fairness, I'm a little tipsy, so...).

Still not sure if I should get a Kindle.

>>1371385
Ah, you're right. I've fixed mine now (hopefully). Not that I expect you to buy me anything... it'd just be nice if someone did.

>>1371438

Which one are you?
I normally only gift books that I've read and loved, in the hopes that you'll love the book as much as I did, as that's as close to having friends that read as I'll ever get, even though I'll never know you or hear that you enjoyed it!

>>1371460
I'm >>1371206

http://amzn.com/w/4NXYLY77DAJF

Any of the Camus would be wondrous.

whats the most expensive book that people are willing to buy

i don't want a bunch of lame $10 paperbacks, but some of the more expensive hardcovers would look good on my shelf

>>1371474
That`s called greed and GO BUY YOUR OWN FUCKING BOOKS SHITHEAD

>>1371467

If I remember (and nobodies gifted you already), then you'll be getting Dune tomorrow afternoon, when I have my debit card.
What a great book, everyone deserves to read it.

>>1371482
how much is is worth

>>1371482
Oh wow! Thank you so much! Have you posted your wishlist anywhere?

>>1371500
I'm >>1371274.
But thinking about it, I really don't need anything. A gift would be wonderful, but save your money for someone who needs it more.

>>1371118
Gary! Victoria here, thanks for the book, I got it yesterday. I gifted you these in return :)

Normally I don't post for a few threads after getting something, but seeing as how it IS Christmas and all....

http://amzn.com/w/OZFTWNE8YLGO

>>1371517
I've saved it and I will look at it tomorrow when I'm awake. I promise.

>>1371429

I wasn't sure if I'd be into it. But I decided to buy it and try it out. I really liked it. Plus if I hated it Amazon has the 30 day return thing.

>>1371519
>got one book
>gave three in return
>areyouawizard.jpg

>>1371546

You make a good point. When I have the money, I shall definitely be up for giving it a go.

>>1371549
LOL, well he had also gotten me a book several weeks ago. but I hate for anyone to feel like I'm only gifting them to be even, like I feel obligated to do it or something, so I try to make it clear I'm only in it for the "making people happy" part :p

of course this causes problems when it comes to me actually wanting to buy something for myself and not having any $, lol, but hey! that's what wishlist threads are for right? sometimes you're the statue, and sometimes you're the pigeon, etc.

>>1371563

If you try it out, I hope you like it. It's different, but not in a bad way.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/3OZ7FOHWENZA3

Wew, Christmas!

>>1371583

I think the selling point so far for me is that I can lie in any position when reading it. I'm really odd about what body shape I'm in when reading and I shouldn't have to worry about light not hitting all the words / pages flopping everywhere...Or at least I don't think I should!

Hopefully now I will have a nice new book to read over the winter!
http://amzn.com/w/V1P7PS2M83CY

>>1371592

Yeah. I have small hands too so being able to turn pages one handed is nice for me. Now I can lay on my side and read.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/33BFS8VLK191B

>>1371611
I bought you a book. I hope you like it.

>>1371618
Small... feminine... hands?

>>1371682

I am a girl, but I wouldn't say they're feminine. They're just small...

>>1371687
Tell me about yourself...

What is your name?... where do you hail from?

>>1371691

Lol, weird guy with a small hand fetish. The Boston area.

I have a wealth of Amazon credit in gift cards, but y'all bitches aint gettin shit.

>>1371705
I could come over to Boston...

...can you post a picture of your hands?

>>1371718

No, I'm actually okay with that not happening.

>>1371718

/lit/ - Hands or GTFO

>>1371712
ok

>>1371721
POST YOUR FUCKING HANDS
SHOW ME HOW SMALL THEY ARE


...would you call them quaint?

>>1371729
how does one go about taking a picture of their hands if they need one hand to hold the camera?

>>1371729

Nah, they're more like claws.

>>1371729

I wouldn't call them quaint. No pictures for you.

>>1371742
Pretty simple.

Timed picture taking.

Hmmm, my wishlist isn't particularly big, in fact it's tiny, I only just started it.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/registry/wishlist/1WXR68Y6A0729

http://www.amazon.ca/wishlist/3G0MZOUJ91QK6

Why not?
Maybe someone will be nice enough to give me the 0.02 cent book.

If not, it's ok too :) I'll be buying them slowly by myself, suggestions for books would be greatly appreciated.

IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME SHIT

Ohhh yeah baby, look at those sexy things

>>1371755
it's not possible to gift used books....if it was there'd be a lot more gifting going around.

>>1371766

not D&E but those are quite lovely....nice thumbnails too

>>1371770
I suggest providing your email and telling the person to send you their address to input. That's what I had to do anyway >>1371519 the only way I was able to gift him used was because his address showed up when he gifted me.

>>1371775
y tank u

>>1371776

ehhh screw all that....the whole surprise factor is the best part....i don't want to email strangers my street address

I've never participated in one of these threads before, but since it's Christmas time and I have a little bit of money... Could someone tell me how this works?

>>1371658
Thanks, you just made my day!

>>1371770

Oh, nvm then. I'll buy them by myself. I did not know it wasn't possible to gift used books. :(

>>1371766
Stroke stroke stroke....stroke...fap...

>>1371790
You need an amazon account. Just pop onto somebody's wishlist and there will be an option to buy it, which automatically adds their address so you can send it straight to them :)
Hope you get somebody something good

>>1371790
To gift -
New: Simply click on a book in person's wishlist and choose the Add to cart off to the right. Go to your shopping cart (located at top right of page) and choose Proceed to Checkout. Follow the steps there (really easy) to place your order.
Used: For some reason lately Amazon won't let us gift used books to people. You need their addresses first. Of course, I'll be more than happy to email you mine c:

To receive: Set up a wishlist and add books to it. Make sure your address is inputted and stick around in case anyone wants to ask for your address to gift used.

>>1371791

This makes me happy.

bump for more Christmas gifting. Remember folks, the 25th is exactly ONE week away! keep in mind that if you want to gift used, you're going to need the person's address first.

>>1371517
There we go! I've brought you a book.

Also, bump. This thread has made me happy, hopefully it'll make more people happy.
Merry Christmas!

Bought, sorry. You've taken away part of that warm feeling...
But you've taught me a lesson and now I will never make that mistake again.

Can people tell who bought them stuff?

>>1373090
I don't think so. They might say on here.

>>1373090
Some books give you the option to gift wrap, and when they do I put my name. Sometimes that option is given though.

>>1373090
>>1373107
It shows their address as billing address when you recieve the package. you could send them a letterbomb or something, but that would be a tad ungrateful.

I got you Pale Fire. Sorry it won't be there before Christmas, though.

guys whats a wish-list

>>1373233
'tis a magical list which shows a persons possessional desires.

>>1373228
omg why i feel guilty. guys i cant buy you things in return or you'll know my address. i guess i could do it anonymously since there's other people. but ill probably get attacked at my home like stagolee did.

i feel guilty ;_;

>>1373246
I was hoping you'd feel bad in some way.

>>1373246
*i have bought someone something before i mean but i can't buy others things because i only trust that one guy

>>1373246
I'd never attack your home! What a horrible thing to do in return for someone's kindness.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/15C4V6F08U6LJ

I <3 you guys.

>>1373233
A reinforcement of capitalism's commodity fetishism and human interaction being based on a callous nexus of cash-payment.

>>1373255
touche

>>1373253
Of course, I never would, either. Stagolee was may more of a dick than you appear to be, but even he didn't quite deserve that.

I do wish you'd stop attention whoring quite so much.

maybe stag should have had a .50 cal covering his drive :/

Ah yes, I see him. The one waving and pointing at himself.

oh no pale fire disappeared from my wishlist, you're serious! why would you buy -me- something? i wish i could buy you but you'll know my address & you guys would put it on here so that guy that hates me could find my house.

>>1373287
One of the drawbacks of constantly acting like an ass, I guess.

>>1373287
I'm not the person who bought it for you, but I'm sure you are very welcome. Especially the way you act so grateful like.

well since you bought it just to annoy me il just ignore you.

>mfw you can't gift people used books

yo fuck that shit

>>1373311
I'd buy you a new book.

>>1373311
we would get your address if you did that. post your list d&e :)

>>1373314
Only his city. It doesn't display the full address.

Just trying to help. I think D&E could use some holiday cheer.

>>1373316
no if you gift someone they get your address.

its only if you're gifted to that the gifter gets just the city

I want to buy you guys some more books, but I've already spent £10 doing that today and I've limited myself. Maybe tomorrow if this thread is still knocking about.

I got fifty euro off my aunty last week so I should be fine for books. God bless u tho <3

Merry Crimbo peoples. I'm a bumpin'.

I posted my list earlier on and I'm thinking of gifting someone now, but there's quite a few lists to go through, hard to make a choice really.
I'm leaning towards buying for a britfag as I'm not too sure on conversion rates at the moment.

>>1373451
I'm a britfag!

But no, seriously, choose whoever you want. It's nice that you're doing it for anyone.

Let's hope someone kinder than myself gifts me one of these days in one of these threads.
It's a shame about not ariving by christmas, but I must say I did enjoy the snow yeaterday.

Not a long, intimidating list, just one that I'd actually read everything on.

I'm just finishing up school and have zero source of income.

Just finished: Slaughterhouse-Five
Currently reading: On the Road
Up next: Fahrenheit 451

>>1373633
I wanna buy you something but right now my funds are low and paying for shipping will be a bit too much but if you post in more wishlist threads I'll eventually get you something!

>>1373542
That's a list to be proud of. I'm adding a few of those to my own.

This thread is giving me some great ideas of books to get!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/3C30206O4P9X7

Since it seems like the two bottom ones are must-reads to hangout at /lit/ i want em. I give away books all the time RL after i´ve im done with em so why not on the internet. Ill check your lists out.

>>1373690

And I don't think that Saturday is one of those good ideas!
Honestly, I don't understand why people still read McEwan, he cannot write compelling or convincing female characters and it's all very bland.

That's just my opinion I suppose, I hated Atonement while everyone else in my English class loved it, including my teacher who I normally regard as someone whose taste in books is brilliant.

http://www.amazon.de/wishlist/3I44M8EVU2DZX

>>1373655
Thanks bro, a lot. But apparently i've to paid for the shipping.

>>1373722
You reckon? I put it on there because I remembered my English teacher recommended it to me.
What would you suggest. I'll (hopefully) be starting an english lit course next year.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2PXRF8IWT6DY
I would love to buy my dad "All Quite on the Western Front" or "slaughterhouse 5" for Christmas since I only bought him a shirt (I wouldn't feel right to just give him my copies since they're not in the best shape), but I have no more money left to spend online.

They're already on my wishlist if anyone is willing to buy them, but I would appreciate anything at all.

>>1373736

could you post your Adam & Eve wishlist? I'll buy your dad a double-ended pink jelly dildo for you guys to share.

>>1373733

Recently I have read and enjoyed the Long Walk by Stephen King. It's a fairly interesting concept and a very easy read. It probably wouldn't help much on an English Lit. course though. While I like the story and the characters, the way it is told is not the greatest and as usual with King, it's got a pretty ropey ending. I thought it was a fun read, most people would probably disagree.

I suggest for your English Lit. course that you read some plays as well as novels and maybe a little poetry. I suggest reading:

The Road.
Death of a Salesman.
A Streetcar Named Desire.
The Handmaid's Tale.
Othello.
Paradise Lost.
Poetry by TS Eliot.
The Crucible.
The Count of Monte Cristo.
Wuthering Heights / Pride and Prejudice / any other book like this that looks interesting.
1984.
Brave New World.
Animal Farm.

You may hate some of these, as they lean towards dystopian fiction and science fiction / fantasy, but they are useful to have read and to know, as well as interesting and some brilliant. It really depends on the course you're doing though, as well as personal preference and what you're in the mood for.

>>1373767
Cheers big ears! I've added a few of them I haven't read on to my list, it acts as a good reminder to me as well.

>>1373784

That's what I use mine for normally. I just sit and search for books that I love the sound of, then add them to a wishlist / word list so that I don't forget them.

Thread's still up?

>>1373751
Does something about my post upset you?

>>1373852
iunno, it's hard not to upset someone on these boards.

None of those are good. I could concede a case for Austen, but I wouldn't gift any of that shit.

>>1374165

gtfo troll, he has Baudelaire and Gaiman on there

>>1373920
not for me apparently :(

Man, if I had money, I'd gift people, but I don't. :( Sorry, /lit/.

And I didn't even have a wish list before I saw this so I logged into my Amazon account to make one, got two things in and thought to myself, "Am I really wanting something badly right now? No, I'm not."

It'd be selfish if I just packed a bunch of stuff onto my wish list that I really didn't think of before.

I wish you all happy holidays though, Anons!

I've been building this for a little bit now, and an act of kindness this pure would be amazing for me.
Thanks for even posting nice things like this.
It makes a person take heart when people are willing to provide literary enrichment for strangers.

>>1371473
Camus holds a special place in my heart--I dated a girl who loved him. The Stranger will arrive at your doorstep in a few days.

>>1375893
Why don't you send something better, like The Plague?

>>1375906
not who you were asking, but i think you should read the stranger before you read the plague, it is kind of an introduction jmho

>>1375909
The Stranger was the third or fourth of Camus' works I read and I didn't have any issues.

http://amzn.com/w/352QFCV3RX7D7
new and improved. why not? I would love to get something, but i'm also kind of proud of how weird my tastes have become.

>>1375906
You might think other works are better, but The Stranger is Camus' signature work. Pure hipsterism motivates your suggestion.

>>1375910
Yeah, like I said its just my opinion

If there any britfags on now I'll buy you something for about a fiver. Just direct me to your list.

http://amzn.com/w/44Z5CWN1G817


I love you guys.

>>1375913
how is it hipsterism if I genuinely believe The Plague is better than The Stranger?

The Plague is no better than The Stranger, but it does expand and refine the concepts in The Stranger, and it indicts the entire community rather than the individual.
>mfw people think Mersault is some kind of coolguy role model and not a pathetic joke.

In the plague, Father Paneloux was right. Just sayin.

>>1375927

> it does expand and refine the concepts in The Stranger

Absurdism, amirite?

>>1375935
ur rite. Also, personal responsibility, the role of religion, etc. The Stranger and The Plague are really Camus' best (from what I've read, anyway, I haven't read The Fall or Exile and The Kingdom yet.)

>>1375927
Well, Camus did posit him as "the only Christ our society deserves."

>>1375941
god that's bleak. camus is kind of a jerk. then again, sometimes I think that people who actually experience fascism first hand have a different outlook--we joke about lolocaust and all that but he would probably see the world as somewhat hopeless.

>>1375944

In some ways, I kinda don't blame him. The more I think about the Absurd, the more I sort of want to agree with it...

>>1375955
I love absurdism--but, i've become a kind of 'absurdist christian'--even though everything is arbitrary i choose to view the world from a certain prespective. I think Mersault was like the zero point of absurdism and he doesn't fit into what Camus was saying in The Myth of Sisyphus (at least not at first) I think mersault was Camus' "everyman" the kind of materialist, banal character that he saw around him everyday and the type who made fascism so probable for europe.

I launched that shit at the right moment you know it's how steve jobs & shit do their thing they got the good timing they know the society & shit see and it was the right moment since we're all snow melly & shit and

Okay come on, wow, 300 posts ? Lots of (likely lonely) readers sharing the love and celebrating a winter tradition thanks to the collective consciousness of emotional unity, warming each others hearts under one the most depressing period of the year ? I got some credit. Plus I'm not a giantwishlistfag.

But I say right now, with no hidden honesty: do not expect me to gift back. No job, no time, barely enough money for university related fees. Maybe summer job, at which point, maybe, able to gift.

Please do not feel offended by my honesty. I hate politicians and false promises.

I know I'm totally late to the party on responding to you, but the person I gifted asked for Camus, and The Stranger was what was on his wishlist. That's the only reason I picked it, since I'm not familiar with his work.

well me for starters, a bit against my heart tbh... I checked my bank account and I still had something left so wtf, took the risk. They don't whine when I get negative in only two digits.

These are the people who have gifted others in this thread. You'll have to find their wishlists yourself if you're planning on getting them anything.

>>1376871

Also OP, either you're retarded or... Retarded. Seriously, negative bank account for /lit/ ?

>>1376879

It's pathetic is what it is.

Yeah, sorry. I was busy posting when that post came up.

>>1375893 also gifted.

>>1376882
>>1376879

Well I don't know... The idea of making someone happy somewhere makes me happy. Why are you so obsessed with money control ? When it comes to human emotions, there are no prices.

OP just made me weep.

Can someone post all the wishlists of everyone who has gifted for others in this thread?
