>>20194170

>>20194218

>>20194232

>>20194295

who knows...my thickest book is the phone book. beat that

>>20194317
its insane youre old enough to remember phone books but still such a puerile petulant shit that this is how you spend your weekend lol

>>20194341
You're the micro penised internet tough guy making threads about thickest books. Who's in the wrong?

>>20194359
are you ok? are you that intellectually insecure that even something as completely innocuous as this threatens you? on the weekend? lmao

was anyone asserting any type of superiority here before your weird projection? im genuinely curious as to what brought you to this

>>20194359
Why are physical books making you so angry, my friend?

>>20194380
You became triggered about the phone book winning your thicc book contest and I still think it's hilarious.

>>20194401
thats because you are insanely insecure. did anyone say hey guys look at these thick books i have arent i a genius ;)? if i posted a thread asking for people to post books with green covers would you still be throwing this autism attack? this is just genuinely such a weird projection lol are you like 5'4 or something? I cant understand this pathology.

no you're right, its me though lol

>>20194419

>>20194419
What is causing you to project this hard?

>>20194359
Get the microscope out

>>20194460
>im not projecting, you are!

>>20194469
Why are you still projecting?

>>20194435
Daumal is cool but I always feel I'm using enough drugs to be fully immersed

i cant think of the name rene without thinking of this

>>20194466
MODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>20194170
If only Ballard's editor had told him "tone down the sand"

>>20194510
Rene and Renee are two different names, my monolingual fren

>>20194522
......yeah obviously? sorry for sharing my cultural experience with you

>>20194510
this music is terrible

>>20194526
apology accepted

>>20194543
sorry dude let me post some karlheinz stockhausen so you can get back into your cocoon of smugness

>>20194561
>nooooo why didn't they like my cool hip hop music

>>20194561
What did it have to do with the author or literature in general?

>>20194584
yeah what could a guy named rene and a song called renee have to do with each other

We've really got our Top Men assembled in this thread. I want to personally thank OP for creating such a masterpiece of logic and reason.

>>20194641
Do you have a personal history with a girl named Renée or is it just an ADHD thing to go on such a tangent?

>>20194644
im sure that you're thrilled as a bottom but maybe just contribute

>>20194652
i already did I'm the phone book guy, threadly reminder that I won

>>20194651
adhd is recognizing a name pronounced the same but with one extra letter

have you ever heard of intertextuality or is english not your native language

oh sorry i mean i was just posting it because epic cool black guys rapping

>>20194659
>no photo

>>20194663
>post about an author
>start of a discussion about that author
"oh hey here is a rap song that has nothing to do with anything except it shares four letters with the author's name"

>>20194669
yeah sorry man i dont think rene daumal has any rap songs so i had to improvise you fucking humorless pedantic stooge

>>20194669
I love this post and this sentiment.

>>20194675
Take your shitty rap songs somewhere else

>>20194675
Just get a diagnosis, anon. It could improve your life quality.
Three of my friends have ADHD and since they sought out treatment it helped to make them better people.

>>20194170
The widest book I have is also the weirdest book I have. An author's edition of a book that doesn't exist.

>>20194295
anything similar to this?

>>20194170
Mushrooms Demystified is my favorite book. Really wish they would release a nice hardcover edition that holds up as the reference book it is. Will probably have to buy copy #3 after this mushroom season,

>>20194707
Tell us more.

>>20195691
is mushrooms demystified a novel, or is it just really a non-fiction book by that guy who really likes mushrooms?

>autism ruins yet another discussion: the thread

>>20195745
well it's typewritten, and i found it in the "free book bin" of a small german town library. It doesn't have any official data other than what you see, and the author has never published a book. I made a thread about this a couple years ago? and one anon managed to find a single entry in an old document from the 80s filed by the author, for a book of a different name, which also has never been published in any way. The man is a mystery, but an anon suggested that he might have been in the military, as an american stationed in germany, which is why I found the book there.

it's a mystery!

maybe check out this guy if youre into mushmemes. its more decorative than comprehensive, but its a hardcover, looks great, and the illustrations are fantastic

>>20194435
>>20194419
>>20194501
>>20194510
Thats because both of you are insufferable retards who should suck start a pistol

>>20194224
wow I was right that OP was a massive faggot how'd I guess

>>20196729
probably because gay men and gay sex is what you are constantly thinking about

>>20195912
Very interesting, thanks for posting it.
Considering you have possibly the only version to exist, have you considered digitizing it? I must admit that because of its size and most likely extremely niche interest, it would be a difficult ask.

>>20196735
I just call em as I see em

>>20195912
I'd also like a full scan. This thing seems fun.
Kinda weird to find an English book in Germany but I also would've taken it.

>>20195895
It is 1000 pages of mushroom autism.
>>20196717
I am not much for art books and books of foreign mushrooms sort of depress me. John Cage's A Mycological Foray is the only one of that ilk that has got me, it is fun. picrel.

>>20195912
I love free book bins. There's a well organized large used book store in Tennessee that has massive free bins in the front, and the contents are constantly changing.

I've also found weird one of a kind author copy manuscripts in those bins, but nothing so fancy. I've also found some rare books in there.

>>20196918
i gave my friend who got me into mushmemes the john cage book and he was so touched and thankful it made me tear up afterward when i was alone

god i love him

>>20194242
also made the mistake of buying the one on the left, fucking annoying to read, not enough margin for writing either

>>20196799
yeah, i have no doubt that you both see and call a lot of gay men, we got it

>>20196775
>>20196875
I have thought about it yes. I'm in the process of moving right now, but once life settles down, I'll start.

>>20194170
The Argos catalogue

>>20197165
I feel ya. I hope everything goes well and I also hope we get a copy of this weird thing so that it not goes completely lost if something ever happens to the original.

Those are my widest bois. A little bit over 5 cm.

just got into reading early january of this year. haven't read any of the 'doorstopper' classics yet (moby dick, w&p, etc.) so the widest book I have is flannery o'connor's complete stories

>>20197725
It's never too late to start reading. I hope you continue with it.
Reading a massive lad can be a daunting task but you're still reading it one page at a time. As long as you read a few pages each you will be through the book one day. You can also read some other shorter books on the side, too.

If this is still up after my nightly bath, I'll post some weird fucking shit. T. /X/ pilled litfag.

Misread wide for "weird," disregard that.

>>20197761
no no post them anyway. I'm interested.

thicc

My Spanish version of the Pickwick Papers is probably the widest. I ready it along with the English one to gets every detail.

>>20197165
Please follow up on this, anon. I'd very interested

>>20197761
lol
