You know you can buy books on the internet, right?

Yes, I do. But like I said, there are only those 4 where I can buy them. There were a Gravity's Rainbow translation around here in the 90's too but it's almost impossible to find it nowadays.

Send me your money and I'll buy them for you and send them to you.

get IV or Mason and Dixon. dont get ATD.
get IV if you liked TCOL49's "CLUES EVERYWHERE DUDE WTF GOIN ON WHATS HAPPENING", get Mason and Dixon if you want a a great novel about 2 lads kickin it round the globe like its 1799.

Thanks, dude. I guess I'll buy IV then since it's not such a big novel like M&D (I'll probably read this one too, but not now).

What is wrong with ATD anyway?

its sloppy, its really tough, its good but its also bad, and I imagine it would be a disaster to translate

Actually, you can't find TCoL49, but you can find V. for ten bucks here http://www.betadeaquarius.com.br/
and if you're in Belo Horizonte, I know for a fact GR and Vineland are ALWAYS available for rent in the public library (I suppose you can find some of his stuff on UFMG as well, but I'm not sure).
V.'s translation is old and pretty bad tho, I'd recommend you getting a english edition, but the rest are good, they're translated either by Paulo Henriques Britto or Caetano Galindo, the guys responsible for bringing the complete meme trilogy to brhue.

Also, since these books are rare as fuck and / or Cia. das Letras, even with the dollar at 4,something, it's still pretty much the same price getting them through amazon.

Thank you for the help, anon.

Sorry for deleting the post, I just wanted to showcase my collection

>>7550853
Oh, and another thing, even though AtD usually goes out for R$100 and something, it ALWAYS, ALWAYS goes on sale on every bookstore there is, I gave it to a friend for christmas, it was something like 50 bucks on amazon (bought it with some other stuff, so I don't remember exactly)

>>7550859
No problem. Nice collection there. I think I'll buy Inherent Vice first and then M&D. Thanks again.

>>7550883
Thank you mate. M&D is pretty hardcore, though it's my favourite book ever.

I know the lad up there said AtD is bad but it really isn't, it's just a very...out there book, so it has it's bad moments, but it also has some of my favourte Papa Pynch

>>7550803
also ye i imagine IV is better translated since M&D is written entirely in a pynchon's take on a 18th century style english with semi-irregular capitalisation and odd punctuation to boot...?
