what's in the boooox? it better not be shit or else you will become an object of ridicule

What could it be, you may wonder?

>>20949069
Dragon dildo?

>>20949063
It's a book. And it must be pretty great if it is praised by both the Financial Times and the Washington Post.

Hopefully a bomb

>>20949075
The dragon dildo catalogue?

>>20949075
it's shit. closing thread now. kys op

S I L M A R I L L I O N

>>20949078
Not a bomb, but it's THE bomb, if you catch my meaning.
>>20949081
Don't be mean, man.
>>20949080
It's even better!

BEHOLD!!!

>>20949090
Yup. You guessed it right.
I'd ordered it during my birthday; a present from myself to me. And I'm really glad I did.

>>20949091

>>20949091
i lied. didn't close the thread. i take the it's shit comment back (only the it's shit part though, nothing after that). the silmarillion is based. tell me though anon, did you order it because you liked the new show? be honest

>>20949109
you know what anon. I'm way too mean for no reason. I'm sorry. I take it all back. enjoy your book and belated happy birthday. I apologize again. I'm not a happy person and I let it out on 4chan. I seriously apologize.

>>20949133
*i let it out on others on 4chan

>>20949109
Actually, i take >>20949111 back. even if you have milquetoast taste, if it's for your birthday and special to you i think it's awesome. Happy birthday anon! and i hope you have a great day, whenever that is.

>I take the it's shit comment back (only the it's shit part though, nothing after that).
T-thanks man. It's alright.
I decided to finally buy it, in preparation for the show. I'd seen the Jackson films, and was already going through the Hobbit book, so I thought 'might as well'.
>>20949143
Thanks man. Though it's not my B-day anyone. The package took too many days (some silly strike with the mail men, or whatnot).

>>20949163
Anyways, I think that is all from my blogging. (unless you want me show anything from the book; idk how these type of threads usually go)
Thanks for your time.

>>20949163
not to make this about me, but I seriously feel bad for shitting on you like that for just sharing that you bought yourself a book. unusually bad. again, I'm not trying to make this about me but i just want to let you know that, incidentally, I'm actually going to a mental health clinic tomorrow. I've been on the waiting list for some time. I really hope I'll be able to stop this wanton nastiness. It poisons the mind and doesn't lead to anything good. thank you anon for saying it's alright. I'm glad you're able to take pleasure from simple things and (seemingly) aren't bothered too much by the hatred i sent your direction for no reason. You're a better man than I am. I truly and honestly wish you the best and hope you thoroughly enjoy the book and the show. I sincerely hope that good things come your way. I don't even know why this bothers me as much as it does but I'm glad it does because maybe it'll make me change for the better. I hope this doesn't read as exaggerated or insincere because I mean every word. I almost feel like I can't apologize enough. I'm honestly sorry anon.
okay I'm done, I just wanted to let you know.
Have a great day anon.

Luv imunidade tributária para livros
pena que o dólar está alto demais

>>20949091
Actually a nice cover.

>>20949210
You needn't worry about offending me, man. Been in this site for some years already, and I know the banter and insults and passes by. Just don't take them to heart and laugh it off.
I honestly wish you the very best with the therapy.
>>20949226
Yup. Eu por acaso comprei na Bertrand; tinham-me dado um voucher de aniversário e eu aproveitei. Também não paguei custos de envio, o que também é fixe..
>>20949239
It is. From the site I was buying, I was actually afraid they'd sent me an older copy (since it showed an older cover art). Glad it's the most recent (2006 I think).

>>20949263
>with the therapy.
in the mental health clinic, I mean.

>>20949210
hang in there mate

>>>/r/eddit

>>20949278
>hang

>>20949055
>>20949091
But why in English? Why haven't you bought it in your own language?

>>20949091
>Rick and Morty in book form
Congratulations.

>>20949524
>Why are you reading a book in the original????
Are you retarded? OP is definitely going to enjoy it more this way

>>20949524
I had thought about buying it, partially in support and sympathy for the translators (as I'm studying in a similar area, and had to do some translations and interpretation myself).
However. I ended up going with english because, as >>20949555 puts it, it's the original and I'm skillful enough to easily read it. And also due to prices and the type of copy. In Portuguese it is only sold in paperback, and moreover it's a pre-1999 translation (which means some mistakes were still present in the book) So, for the same price of the translation, I bought a newer hardback copy (and with a larger map of Beleriand, as well).
>>20949543
Thank you. *burp*

Oh shit!
Just noticed the book's cover came creased.

>>20949091
>Wow, I love the Silmarillion, I love Tolkien, the Fantasy Genre, and mass media

Why is this garbage thread still up? Stupid fucking package is open, thread is ended. Nobody gave a fuck, nobody does now.

>>20951019
Yes to all (expect the 'mass media' part).
>>20951025
Damn, dude. Sorry. Forgot to sage my last post
Anyways, it's nice to see that it concerns you that the thread is still up.

>>20949163
That's very nice OP.
