/lit/ - Literature

18 and 19th century* Fucking wow.

You also collect 20th century medical journals, apparently.
Are you a man or a woman?

>>3165856
Didn't think to mention it because the latest into 20th century I have is this one, a 1923. I have maybe ten or so books printed in the early 20th.
>Obviously I have newer novels, they're just not the kind of stuff I like to collect.

>>3165866
Dear God, is that actually you? Do you collect cauldrons and broomsticks too?

>>3165866
Are you a trans or does your face naturally look like a banana?

saved from somebody posting on this board

Do you also collect manjaws in your face? Sage for attention whoring.

You're too /lit/
/lit/ is for ASOIAF faggots

Try /sci/ if this doesn't go well.

What are some interesting case reports?

I'm disgusted.

Picture for you guys, so I don't make you out to be liars in this particular case.
>>3165884
Thank y'sir. Glad to see I get hate on this board for not looking like a stereotypical bibliophile, just like /fa/ hates me for not wearing doc martens. I'll go back to /soc/ where I'm loved now.

>>3165885
Sci is more stuck up than /fa/ is, to be honest. That was my first attempt to branch away from /soc/
>"What the fuck do you mean breeding between two people of the same gender is entirely possible in theory and practice? Get the fuck out."

>>3165886

No one wants to see photos of your stupid face, get out you dumb bitch

>>3165892
You got so butthurted with /fa/. Yesterday you made me want to go away from tinychat with all your continous butthurt about the doc martens. Chill already, attention whore.

>>3165904
>Posts photo of self with one of the first books published about research into the occurrence deja vu instead of simply saying he has it.
>Instantly attention whore.

meh. Give me a few beers and i'd still tap it.

>>3165852
show us your books, and then your tits

>>3165912
>show us your books, and then your tits
Son, on this board they like feet.

>>3165908
What reaction were you expecting?

>>3165892
But Doc Martens are pretty awful, especially for men. There's been an original (i.e. made in UK) pair in nearly mind condition AND in floral print on my local Craigslist for ages now, but it's (obviously) in a woman's size.

/fa/ isn't about fashion, it's about uniforms.

I'd usually be mad over this, but OP is a girl, and not the prettiest of them. We shouldn't be this mean.

Real talk. For once, can I go to a board or thread, post on topic, and not have a discussion erupt about my looks whether people like or hate them? I'm not fishing for fucking compliments, I'm genuinely asking if you lot are actually into books or if the majority of you are faggoty fucking new age Marxist literary application bullshitters. I posted a photo of me WITH the book because it shows I actually have the shit, rather than just trying to seem cool and alt by simply saying I do as an anon.

No, I'm not a woman. No, I'm not a tranny. No, I'm not a trap. No, I'm not trying to look like a woman. Can we get back to the point of the thread yet?
>Books and if I'll fit in here so I can escape the poison of /soc/

>>3165924
She doesn't have a vagina if that's what you mean...
She has a dick!

>>3165925
>pls respond
>>>/soc/

>>3165925
We accept you one of us...

Just kidding, way too esoteric for me. There are all kind of niche lit cliques here but I never heard of this niche of yours before. You seem destined for forever alone status.

And stop posting pics of yourself you are only asking for trouble.

>>3165931
I'll do my best to keep in mind the number of jealous fatty people around the other boards. I can laugh that shit off on /soc/, but trying to branch out into shit I actually enjoy and getting shit on for looking different is getting old.
>Successfully trolled by 4chan as a whole, failing at life.
>>3165930
Link me to an actual thread, faghazzard. God damn.

>>3165931
Too /lit/ and too pretty.

>>3165935
Go back to /soc/.

>>3165856
Man it seems.

Go fuck yourself.
Sage

>>3165935
You're an arrogant bitch, that's your main problem, and you don't seem to get it... Being more humble would do good to you.

>>3165943
No room to be humble when a bunch of people instantly hate on me for no reason beyond my face being in the same photo as a first edition.
>No room to be arrogant, either.

>>3165852
You're cool, OP. Don't know what the rest of these people's problem is. Thanks for sharing.

>>3165948
Where did you get the books, by the way. I can't imagine you find them lying around secondhand bookstores.

get the fuck out and never come back, you fucking cockroach. stop bumping your own thread. fuck you, you piece of shit. Get a fucking haircut

>>3165947
>I'm so beautiful and smart and everyone else is a faggot fat troll lol y do u h8 me :((

>>3165943
I don't think he's arrogant. I think he is lonely, needy and neurotic.
He wants to socialize but doesn't quite know how. It's like watching a little kid walking into a group of kid that are already playing a game and demanding they play what he wants to play and then walking away crying when they don't want to. You feel bad for him but then you watch him keep doing it and not learning from his mistakes. Then it gets exasperating.

Leaving aside for the moment the attention whore, the rest of you really are a bunch of insecure faggots.

Do you live in a train tunnel? your room is fucking terrifying also why complain about looks when you post your face in pictures of books?

>>3165963
That they are.

>>3165947

Have you forgot that you're posting at 4chan?
Hate is our modus operandi.

>>3165956
Books shown? Got the Emile from an auction for $40, also happened to get a 2nd edition Gray's Anatomy for $600. (The reason I went.) The bacteriology and Chandler first edition I got at a used book store for a total $19. They don't have many older books there, but what they do have are gems.

So is it a man?
If it's not a man I'd let it suck my penis

>>3165961
>Demanding you play the same game as me.
I'm more asking if we play similar games, but alright.
>>3165976
Which is why I said you've all successfully trolled me and I'm clearly failing at life, haha.
>Saged because I literally JUST posted

>>3165983
We play similar games. You can stay after this thread is done and no one will know when it's you posting. Welcome.

>>3165979
I asked because I've been meaning to get my parents a present and I just don't know what. Seeing as it's both their 40th year practicing medicine, I figured that would be kind of nice. Or not. I don't know if doctors actually appreciate presents like these.

>>3165993
Woah. I didn't know /lit/ allowed for this. Image unrelated, it's for OP.

>>3165989
Damn. 40 years? A book is interesting and all, but depending on if they work in that area, I would suggest an exploded skull. (If you have the cash dollars)

OP is an attention whore and hopefully gets banned

>>3166000
Calling me a pleb, or am I the one calling them plebs? I'm confused.
>Saged

>>3165983
Are you enjoying the results of your way of doing things?
Is there a possibility that your way of doing things is not working out well for you?

>>3166006
Oh, no, I'm just caricaturing /fa/.

>>3166007
I enjoy my way of doing things on /fa/ because they'll agree with me while anon then 180 when I reveal. That's hilarious. I honestly thought /lit/ wouldn't be filled with the same breed of Troglodyte.

>>3166020
You did it gracefully and I love you.

>>3166021
Here we go again.

>>3166004
Their exploded skulls? I kind of like them, though. Any other suggestions?

/lit/ is anonymous,

therfore u fail

>>3166028
Could get some animal remains or something. I have frog hearts in little glass vials from my anatomy classes. What area of medicine do they work in?

>>3166021
>I honestly thought /lit/ wouldn't be filled with the same breed of Troglodyte.
Come on man, browse more
/lit/ is quite different from any other board
>>3162746

>>3166032
Dad's a surgeon and psychiatrist, and mom's a general practitioner. Hm.

>>3166037
Really depends on their individual tastes. Mine are a bit macabre, but there are all kinds of anatomical models and mounts out there. Organ slides, bones, etc. Few know your parents as well as you, so just look around. :)

>>3166021
Oh well. Maybe someday the world will change to be more accomadating to your behavior. Best of luck.

>>3165923
>/fa/ isn't about fashion, it's about uniforms.
Spot on. I avoid it like the plague. Worst board on here, next to /d/.

>>3165925
>I posted a photo of me WITH the book because it shows I actually have the shit, rather than just trying to seem cool and alt by simply saying I do as an anon.
You're an attention whore. From the OP:
>I collect 18 and 18th century medical journals. Am I /lit/ enough yet?
This thread is about you. It could have been about people who collect rare books, but you instead made it about you. Go back to /soc/.

>>3166072
Never said it wasn't about me. It is about me. About if my taste in literature has a place here. If you don't want to open a discussion about collecting old books, and instead just be an ass? Well then that's your deal, not mine. Thread had a question, details were given, /lit/ acted like the highbrow shit snacks they've been painted to be.
>>3166034
Thank you for that, anon. Excellent reading.

>>3166079
FUCK. OFF.

Please let your thread die

>>3166084
Case in point.

>>3165975
>Implying you're not

>>3166105
Why, yes, I am.

I kind of like older medical texts for how imaginative they are (e.g. a "visible spirit" that exists in the eye, explaining why a person wakes up when a light is shined on them while they're sleeping), but all such texts are pretty neat. Do any of the 18th/19th century books talk about sexuality at all, in the way that people were afraid that masturbating would sap your life away?
