Aside from the shit I don't recognize I'd say that is a pretty decent collection.

>>2126397
Thanks. I have a spreadsheet with the alignment of the authors and ISBNs/publisher, so that you may know more than you recognize. Generally, I went for the obscure stuff that's only found in quantity, as well as the classics.

Pretty cool. Get em from a library sale or somethin?

>>2126402
Charity sale leftovers. If anyone is interested in anything, I'll put out my email and forward you the complete spreadsheet.

Can you just dump more pictures, if you got them>?

>>2126403
forgot to post a babe.

>>2126399
mordecai richler is one of the authors from your list. no one talks about him here. it's a shame. he is jewish and a montrealer first above anything. he defined misunderstood times and places in the social landscape of quebec. a beautifull author very close to my heart.

>>2126406
I have an interview with his son Noah if you have any questions, give me your email address.

I used to have a miniature library of old books I got at library and charity sales. I gave all but 3 stacks of it away, though, when I moved out of my apartment. Kinda regret it sometimes but my bookshelf broke so I basically have no place to put them other than in a big stack on my floor.

>>2126411
It's fairly inexpensive to make a bookshelf.

>>2126408
no questions, but thanks, good luck with your interview. have you read any of his fathers novels?

>>2126413

I know. I actually bought 3 6-shelf bookcases for $20 each but I've already filled them all up. Even after I gave away several boxes filled with books I still have a huge fucking library of books I'll never read.

there are no charity sales in my country. Feels bad man.

Or if any, I don't get to know it.

It's like Somalia with Internet access, buildings with windows and soccer..

>>2126415
Everytime I open Barney's Version I find a heartfelt quote, yes. That's why I bought all the Richler I could today. Here's one: "The truth is Canada is a cloud-cuckoo-land, an insufferably rich country governed by idiots, its self-made problems offering comic relief to the ills of the real world out there, where famine and racial strife and vandals in office are the unhappy rule."

As for learning about events, I'd say go by your local arts establishments, like libraries, bookstores, museums, studios, galleries, coffeehouses, record stores, and post-secondary institutions. You're sure to learn about venues in your area by exploring a little.

That one is fucking disgusting. You use that as a wallpaper, what the fuck is wrong with you?

>>2126429
When it's that cheap, I plan to resell. Else, I can read the duplicates in groups, aloud.

>>2126423
the novel of his i recall the best was soloman gursky was here. it was a long time ago that i had read it though. i remember liking it very much. it was tongue in cheek about the bronfman family if i recall correctly, and included some crazy mysticism about the north as well as booz running and cp hotels. i always had the feeling that there was some secret Canadian history in there, stuffed that maybe no one was supposed to know.

>>2126432
Well alright than.

>>2126431
that my friend is most definitely a french canadian girl , i'd like to imagine that she is our OP and be certain she would ride you and suck you like you could only hope to imagine. if you treated the way she liked

>>2126435
I'll give it a read someday and find out, thanks for the hint.

Also, wallpaper guy, learn to separate your cupidigia from your cupidi.

>>2126438
on dit que les québécois risent comme des grenouilles.

>>2126445
my french isn't great and i would describe myself an english speaking quebecer. i find the word anglophone offensive because there are also francophone and something separate from both called quebecois. although i haven't lived there for more than 10 years my family has roots going back in quebec more than 150 years and english speaking. i wouldn't call quebcois frogs, i would call one who described themselves quebecois fascists and so did our famous author mordecai richler.

>>2126459
I'd like to have your email for a further conversation. Mine's kokororococo at geemale.

>>2126459
are you retarded... anglophone just means english-speaking... fuck, man. maybe you don't actually speak english at all.

>>2126470
anglophone means english speaking but refers to a goup other than quebecois, a term they also use is pure laine, or pure wool, a facist racist comment of who and who does not belong in quebec. you think the plains of abraham ended something, there has been a cultural war being waged in quebec since 1759.

>>2126475
jesus christ, you're like the quebec version of a rhodie. get over yourself. or rather, because i assume this bullshit is due to your family's influence, tell them to get over themselves.

>>2126478
it's all me baby. get over yourself. it's just an opinion not one i carry with me daily. one i do have the right to have growing up in quebec, reading the paper everyday as a kid to see what the political culture was for that day. to see if we were a bit closer or farther from a vote that would have quebec become it's own country. what are your credentials on your opinion of me?

i am also an anglophone quebecer, and find you claiming credentials based on reading the gazette to be fucking laughable. if you can't speak french, your chances of understanding the situation are almost nil. you can't live in a bubble, move away, and then claim to understand the problem.

>>2126478
rhodie? your fucking ignorant .rhodie? because i didn't like being made feel unwelcome in quebec,when all my friends, workmates and community mostly spoke english. if their argument is that they were there first, well that doesn't hold water, years of mildly discriminatory policy has seen the community and ideology of pure lain quebecois dominate quebec or at least turn their political landscape into a kind of banana republic. and again these ideas would be paraphrasing our great author mordecai richler, he needs a statue.

>>2126518
who said gazette? who said i spoke no french? who said i didn't move away? all my points remain valid, pick one apart please. i have not nor ever would claim to be an anglophone quebecer, i remember when the term anglophone and francophone became popularized in quebec in the lead up to a referendum. terms introduced by the PQ to placate english speaking sentiments when the facist seperatist were forcing the hand of trudeau to have the army brought in to make the population feel secure under the war measures act. pick something apart please anglophone, hey is anglophone a word derived from old english? why not call yourself anglais?

>>2126531
wow, you're fucking annoying

"my french isn't great"

>>2126519
why shouldn't they dominate, man? we make up 10% of the population, it's not even a fucking contest!

>>2126531
in english, we sometimes stick latin or greek-derived words together to make synonymous but more compact words than we have natively... this is a thing you would know if you spoke english, or french, for that matter.

it's like all of sunhawks stupidity but none of his charm

>>2126539
bullshit, there are more jews, italians, greeks, hatians, etc in montreal than french and english combined. it was only 50 years ago or so that the populations of english and french were close to being equal in quebec. back when montreal was the largest city in canada. Mordecai Richler has called the separatists fascists and the political landscape in quebec that of a banana republic and all i'm doing here is supporting the views of one of my favorite authors, he needs a statue but the separatists won't allow it. yet quebec remains a part of canada.

>>2126543
it's not a natural idea for someone to need to be referred to or identify themselves as anglophone, it denotes a lack of any specific culture, and continues a method used by the quebec fascists. along with language police, which was actually a real thing, yes fascist.

>>2126551
Mordecai Richler sucks. You suck as a poster.

read some Anne Carson.

>>2126551
you've now switched to only talking about montreal, which is a bubble itself, but even with your obfuscation:
Mother tongue languages (2006)[18]

French 66.5% 80.1% 22.3%
English 13.2% 8.6% 58.4%
you are still retarded

poutine is great

>>2126581
I believe the question is that: is it necessary for the French culture to dominate in order to survive? In Quebec, it has been their argument that it must dominate to survive. I left Quebec 15 years ago. I found it to be backwards politically with very little real choice. I found extreme levels of corruption one the local and provincial level. i heard in the News that the construction industry is being accused of defrauding the public. Taxes in Quebec are high and are set to increase. When there is a provincial election called there are two choice, one federalist and one separatist. This does not serve the public. It does serve the political elite, the social elite, the corporate elite, unions, organized crime, etc.

>>2126614
"extreme" is bullshit, it's high by canadian standards, probably the highest in the country, but "extreme" is ridiculous. unless you work in specific industries you'll never encounter it. the taxpayer gets fucked slightly because of it, granted. the construction industry is a problem, but there finally seems to be the political will to tackle it. it should be noted that the construction industry is a much bigger problem in say, japan, where there is little encountered corruption otherwise. grass is always greener.
i feel i get a lot for my tax dollar in quebec: a fairly equal society and many social services, which is something most quebecers are into. this is why basically every quebec riding went NDP, for example (this also shows that french quebecers are not as insecure as they once were, they're voting based on what they want, not as a fuck-you gesture).
the political system is also fracturing for the better. the PQ is falling apart, with new parties developing on ideological lines: essentially QS which seems to be getting more serious, and the emerging movement around Legault. Of course the Liberals will stick around.
Anyway, it's interesting times in Quebec, you might be surprised. Come back to Banquise for a poutine!

>>2126574

>that feel when the only way to get names of Canadian writers that aren't Atwood/Munro/Davies or Ondaatje out of Canadians is to have a Quebec argument.

Stephen Hunt, Canadian living in London. Awesome author.

>>2126690

That's a dangerous fetish, mate. Girls reading books means girls understanding more and more things. Eventually they might even realize that most of /lit/ fags are pigs just like the rest of the world.

>>2126853
> most of them are pigs like the rest of the world
stop projecting, pig
