Just bought this on the web. Was advertised as new. Looks brand new save for this in the first page.

Dear Laura, I hope you enjoy this book. I was taking a gamble that you haven't read every poem yet! Anyways, make sure you don't let this book go down the road of Dostoevsky. I think that by the time you receive this we'll be really close to seeing each other again! I think you'll enjoy this book because in addition to his words it has an introduction that details his life and analysis sections at the back.

Love, Bacon

Awww, I have bought used books with heartfelt notes in them that were dated way too recently. It is almost always poetry. I think it was a Rumi book that had a similar message but it was between family and had a 2012 date (I bought it a year ago).

What is the saddest is that they could've just left it on their bookshelf and not read it. They probably get not even a dollar by reselling a book like that anyway.

I wouldn't mind about the paragraph.

Actually, I'd be quite happy.

It's a little look into someone else's life and it shows the love the guy had for her but how love ends. It's 2deep4u, OP.

C'mon, /lit/. It's quite possible she finds Keats and Dosty far too pleb and this Bacon guy was a twat anyway.

Laura is short for Laurence, as in Laurence Waddell. Brian is actually gay.
