Morning, anon. I'm not drinking anything yet but I'll probably have my chocolate milk breakfast as usual.

Comfy as, lads.

The shill operation is strong. I guess this is what it's like to self-publish

>>18537580
You might be right, because i coudn't find link for the book to download for free, and it seem like this book is promoted here.

That cover is one of the dumbest I've ever seen.

There is only one twitter book that I've read: ha ha ha delightful by William Guppy, Esq.

I'd throw my money into the trash before buying any of this shit. Same deal with Tao Lin, 4chan memes are terrible in book form.

Tao Lion and Michael Ma are good though.

Ouch

I can't believe I share a board with these people.

Having a monster rehab. Just finished this awesome book. Cool so many other people are supporting Mike and making literature fun again.

>>18538091
Hey buddy no one is stopping you from reading your Penguin Classics.

Harrassment Architecture wasn't bad, probably like four months' work away from being a great book, but hey better to be published than to be ''perfecting'' shit that'll never come out. At times a bit trivial or too openly 4chanesque, but not a bad book. Some subtle shit in there. Perfectly fine for a 24 year-old to write. Looking forward to pirating this one too. Some people compare it to Fight Club and it wasn't damn near as gay. That dude Palahniuk is a real unironic homo. In sheer volume, there is less politico-social commentary than descriptions of Tyler Durden's penis in that book. Not a book any 34-year-old should be writing. Ridiculous shit.

i’ll be honest i’m watching babylon 5 right now but i’ll get back to reading soon

this photo just screams white privilege to me

Nothing in that photo looks expensive at all, what privilege

>>18538344
umm Dunel, the Great Gatsby, the iMac keyboard. You couldn't be more white if you tried. And you use that racial identity to project and weaponise it against the rest of us peaceful nice people. It's really toxic.

How new can you be?

Was reading the same with some cold brew at a cafe to get away from the 100 degree weather.

This book rules

Couldn’t stand being a fucking faggot at a cafe so now I’m going swimming naked

>>18539994
I've only ever seen a name fag that looked like a butterfly. Never a tripfag. What kind of threads does this tranny hang out in?

Crabs in a bucket mentality. They are competing against massive publishing houses and their marketing budgets and networks. You think there isn't a slew of nepotism within those systems either? You don't live in a meritocracy and supporting the little guy is the smarter choice.

So do you shills get Bannon money or something? seems like some op he would do. No anon would take such a gay photo like op’s. The whole ‘dissident right’ memosphere is so artificial

>>18541953
You get in a scrap recently?

>>18541672
Whoa, sorry, I'm not attacking the guy... I'm just stating that the Amazon system is 100% rigged in favour of people who buy reviews and have huuuugeee resources to source reviews and publicity. Same with GoodReads as GoodReads bans authors if they are in any way, shape, or form, outside the general accepted narrative.
>Amazon banned Roosh for fuck's sake.
Participating in Amazon means you are participating and endorsing a rigged system.

As far as /lit/ personalities go this bitch is significantly more tolerable than butterfly by virtue of the fact she (he) doesnt tripfag

Fuck you niggers for wasting my time with that

You should start reading memes.

picrel and pedialyte, cheers

>>18547093
Except the board is filling up with these fake "Look at this book I just bought! I love it" spam posts that are made by the author himself

>>18541281
how is it?

>>18548186
Just post your beverage and your read and engage other anons about their choices to take the discussion away from the shill. It is not difficult, but sadly most can only complain. The board can effortlessly derail on topic effort posts but just throws a fit when it comes to shills, just derail their posts into something worthwhile.

Reading Savage Detectives and making a pot of Gevalia. Little herb too. Fun evening

Also Savage Detectives has this quality of tedium, yet I got lost in those little interviews at the same time. Interesting book. thank you for memeing Bolano, /lit/

That’s the very beginning. I take it you didn’t get to the end of that story where the 8-foot tall executioner gives him a monologue and then the narrator runs into a freeway

prove to me that these are 5 different copies of the book at 5 unique and distant geographical locations

I tried to read differemt bits of philosophy but it was boring me, so I just stuck to A Scanner Darkly. I am really enjoying Dick. Might just read all his shit.
Gonna drink some cider and watch Single White Female tonight

>>18548336
If you want me to look at your advertisements, you have to pay me to do it. If not, get ready for me to complain

>>18549044
Your complaints only feed into the marketing campaign

>>18537487
The book is bad outside the last 40ish pages, Harassment architecture is better. The last section that is post RETVRN though is kino. Fuck that book just read HA again.

>>18549060
I don't care. My original post upset the shills, so that attention has paid me back enough that it was worth feeding the marketing campaign. With this, I have become the paid shill.

Goodreads banned me in 2013 because I said 50 Shades of Grey was going to fuel a self-destructive culture among women and men.

I'm pretty sure many of these "cultural icons" have really degraded how people treat each other.
