Hello.

Is he in the middle of structuring some dope electronic beats?

>>5113424
I still remember the first time I saw that thread, good god. Vomited my fucking lunch everywhere after the 4th or 5th one.

>>5113441
Yes. This was taken during the making of The Wack Album.

>>5113406

Only one of these rooms has any books in and that's the one with a /tv/ timestamp. It's not very good bait if that's what you're going for.

It's a good feel.

>>5113485
what the fuck is going on here
is he living in crawl space
that space doesn't look like humans are meant to live there

>>5113644

how'd you get so rich mun? Or are you a LEECH (nothing wrong with that)

>>5113629
>brewdog
pleb.

>>5113629
>needing a reminder to brush your teeth

>>5113661
What makes you think he's rich? He's got a fucking picnic table for a desk. He also has no reasonable place to store his bottles, just placing them in a heap on the table.

Not to mention he buys beer by the bottle, which is embarrassingly low-class.

>>5113673

hahahaha. I have no idea why this made me laugh so much; perhaps because you're right.

I just guess for an alco he seems to have his shit together - the place is neat, and I think the picnic table is a nice touch with the wood floorboards, gives the room a sort of Mediterranean decking feel.

Also note the computer, two screens, sound system, drum kit etc. and the beers, man, they're just where he needs them; within arms reach.

>>5113671
>420chan
so where do you keep your syringes?

>>5113673
Why would you assume that the bottles are on the table at all times?

How else does one purchase craft beer, other than by bottle?

>>5113691
your alcoholism isn't really sad, but two monitors devoted to 4chan is

>>5113693
This very moment, I have 5 different /lit/ threads open on all 3 screens.

This is what I do when I am not reading or cooking.

>>5113691
How is Sideways? Paul Giamatti is usually good to watch.

>>5113685
You can buy a computer screen for literally less than 100 dollars. Same for the drumset.

The beers weren't expensive, and that's a modest supply.

>>5113691
I'm not trying to put you down, bro. I'm just wondering why anyone would think you're rich, based off that picture.

>>5113697

Well, he's essentially surrounded by luxuries. Check those headphones, they're probably worth a couple hundred. That combined with the alcoholism shows he must at least be an entitled little shit, and must have worked for it (unless, as I said, he lives with his parents)

>>5113697
Well, I am wealthy. Not bragging, just stating fact. I am struggling a bit with your logic. Just because a drumkit or a screen can be had for under 100 dollars, does not mean that all drum kits or screens cost that little.

As far as beer goes, it doesn't really get any more expensive, so I am not really sure what you mean.

I really don't want to start a shit-flinging contest or even an argument, I just want to understand.

>>5113696
Sideways is one of my favorite films. It is Paul Giamatti's best performance. He plays a struggling writer with a nose for wine and a bad case of depression and anxiety. I love wine and beer and whisky and books and cooking, so Sideways really brings all of my passions together in one amazing film.

>>5113706

I knew it! I'm the fucking king dawg. Now, give me your money.

>>5113713
What did you know?

>>5113706
you crowd as much of your stuff into one corner of your room and then wonder why people doubt your wealth?

come on, man

real rich people don't have to do this in order to feel rich

>>5113716
I like being in close vicinity of my things. This is the room I spend most of my time in, so most of my stuff is in it.

I don't do it for "looking rich" or feeling so.

>>5113714

That you're a wealthy motherfucker. And this other anon >>5113716 is just trolling you now..

Go on, how'd you make your wealth? And say something that would make me believe you don't live with your parents; not that you're obliged to, but hey, we're here now.

>>5113691
Aren't those headphones around $1000?
You aren't an audiophile right?

>>5113722
Money was made through product development for a high-end luxury goods company. I won't disclose what company, but the job was done with extreme proficiency, and they payed well for it.

>>5113726
>you aren't an audiophile right?

What? But yes, I consider myself an audiophile.

>>5113431
What's that book?

>>5113732
Looks like several books.

>>5113706
Thanks, I'll give it a watch.

>>5113722
Just a hunch but if he's well enough off to afford that shit and old enough to have a taste for those whiskies then he wouldn't be living with his parents anyway. They could buy him his own place.

>>5113736
You should. Paul Giamatti is simply amazing, as is everyone else in the film.

>>5113644
good lord that is some cheap trash. drain it all into a sink pronto

>>5113730

Why do you drink so much? How much do you drink? I like to drink as well, but am no way near successful. Help a brother out.

>>5113764
>Why do you drink so much?
Bloody stupid question.

>>5113770

I'm sure everyone has different reasons?

>>5113764
I don't drink that much. Maybe a beer or two a week, plus a scotch.
It will sound incredibly pretentious, but I really do enjoy the flavor.

If I was drinking to get drunk, I would buy much cheaper alcohol.

I would not consider myself an alcoholic. Sometimes I go weeks between drinks. I only really get drunk two or three times a year.

>>5113787

Ah man, you let me down. I thought you were cool but no.

>>5113793
Getting drunk off your ass every night is not cool.

>>5113797

Well I'm pretty cool and I do that so...?

None of these even have to do with being a bookworm.

This thread belongs on /r9k/.

>>5113436
goddamn, that one always makes me laugh

>>5114932
>mfw I just now noticed the gay fux mask on his shelf

>>5113706
>Well, I am wealthy. Not bragging, just stating fact.

What do you define as objectively wealthy? And what does the rest of /lit/ consider wealthy, for that matter?

>>5114971
To me wealth is being able to bask in the sun with great people and great wine, if you think that sounds faggoty then you can fite me irl m8.

>>5114888
So you've got leopard print pillow cases, some teeny tiny weights, a bunch of bolt action rifles, a hatchet that's clearly never chopped any wood, and a dinosaur poster. I can't tell your gender, your age, or absolutely anything. All the bizarreness just cancels each other out.

>>5114986
A homosexual male.

>>5114984
But that doesn't require much money at all, unless you're an idiot that thinks only expensive wine = good wine. I didn't mean wealthy in spirit or some bullshit, I meant what /lit/ considers wealthy in material terms.

>>5114994
My post just meant life without material want. But people have different wants.

>>5114986
My bigger dumbbells are to the right of the bed, I gave the tiny ones back to my mom.

It's confusing because it's the bedroom of a married couple.

>>5114971
Wealthy means having enough money to not worry about having enough money.

"enough money" is subjective.

I don't know what the link you sent me is supposed to be for, but I have been listening to a lot of Bill Frisell lately. Disfarmer is brilliant. I've also been falling back on Pink Floyd. The Division Bell is a vastly underrated album and some incredible music on it.

>>5115029
>I don't know what the link you sent me is supposed to be for
It's not a link, the backslash is meant to act as an "or", and RYM is an acronym for RateYourMusic. I thought you were /mu/ and had some obscure and developed taste, but you seem to be rather regular

>>5115099
I've never been to /mu/. From what I've heard they are a bunch of pretentious asshats.

I just listen to what I like.

Welcome to my humble abode.

>>5115125
This doesn't have anything to do with being a bookworm.

>>5115121
i heard the same about lit

>>5115127
Neither does any other pic in this thread.

>>5115130
Yeah, but /lit/ is pretty civil about being pretentious. Reading literature almost makes you pretentious by default, so it's fine. And it's different with books than with music.

With music, the only really objective thing you can discuss is the recording quality. The rest is >my opinion.

I like discussing books and films more than music.

>>5115142
Youre joking I hope

>>5115142
everything with books is >my opinion though

It's juvenile and I don't like it.

>>5113596
He means Kyphosis specifically.

Kyphosis and lordosis can be caused by chronic bad posture.

It can be corrected by stretching and weightlifting.

>>5115165
sounds like /lit/ to me

>>5115169
No. /lit/ actually has the capacity to write out their thoughts and ideas about books.

Sure you will always have bad posts and threads, but /lit/ way better in that aspect.

>>5113649

A lot of people live under their parent's house leeching off their electricity. They've been kicked out so this is the only place they can go.

>>5115165

>>5115173

admittedly, it's a lot worse than last time i visited it, but there still are some civilised threads >>>/mu/48135742

but yeah, looking at it, there isn't much discussion there nowadays. used to be better with clt and btrl and other hated trips

Well fuck, that's the version I just started reading. I just read that amazon review that talked about

Should I switch? I wonder how many sentences are screwed up

>>5121604
Are you kidding, living in there would make me want to shoot myself

I know there's a piece of me that fetishes that kind of purity but I know myself better than to convince myself I could be happy living there

But if that's what you're searching for then more power to you

Flip to I think page 137 or 139, find the sentence "your goal in these dreams is often to...". If the next word is "pens", your copy is fucked. Check for duplicated or blanked pages.

Yeah I know, I just confirmed that I have a bad copy. What I'm wondering is if it is worth switching and buying a new one or if I should just suffer through a few mangled sentences here and there. If it's only a few lines I think I can live with it.

is that Sea Wolf from the Reader's Digest edition? If so, I found the very same (and 5 more from the same collection, diff authors) at a garage sale.

Your most prized possession cost me $2
