/lit/ - Literature

I didn't post my wishlist, but seeing that post made my day. Enjoy the books OP!

Any other anons received their books yet?

Also one of the anons who bought me books also ordered a HG Wells book for me which isn't out till April 2011, if you are reading this anon feel free to cancel that, or leave it and I'll receive it eventually. :)

well check again on saturday - one of the buyers agreed to buy more books on saturday.

>>820364
I actually have 9 books in the mail right now, so I'd feel selfish if I did.
Hooray book binging.

Congrats on the books, anon! Hope you enjoy reading them.
Someone bought a book for me as well and I am so excited about receiving it.

>>820378
Thanks. It was a nice surprise getting these - and also slightly surreal. Going to finish my current book and then make a start on these.

Also I get paid on Friday so I'll return the favour to someone on Saturday.

>H.G. Wells book being released next year
What's all this now?

>>820402
no it's nothing new, just a collection of (all?) his short stories that I added to my wishlist but realised later that amazon had listed the item even though it isn't released for almost a year :(

>>820401
It's awesome you're going to return the favor. I'm flat broke but I can do art so I was thinking of offering to ink or paint custom bookmarks for people.

My Work is Not Yet Done is amazing.

The last story in there will shred your brain.

>>820413
I'd be interested in custom bookmarks.
>>820420
a friend recommended it and then someone on /lit/ did too - I'm looking forward to it.

My DA is junkupshowup if you want to see generally what my art looks like. Most of that stuff is old but my work looks generally the same.

I would create a wishlist, but there's no way I can repay the favor in the near future. The book I want at the moment is House of Leaves, because a friend of mine was so insistent that I read it... he had long discussions with me about it, explaining exactly how he felt about it, and what it did to him. He died two weeks ago, and I don't have the money for it right now.

So you posted wish list multiple times and got multiple books?

>>820646
How did he die?

>>820662
his house was acting funny and he went into this weird hallway in it

He had a heart condition that made his heart beat very quickly..and by quickly I mean it's gotten to 300 before. He was playing bass in his band for a graduation party (the day before his graduation, actually...), and had an attack. He's been to the hospital a few times before, and had been a month or so before this incident, so none of us were too worried. The hospital put him into a medically induced coma and paralyzed him after they reduced his core temperature to combat any damage. He suffered from brain damage, though, from swelling, and got a smoker's cold. While paralyzed, he couldn't cough up all the tar in his lungs, so it was a turning point in a bad way. They decided that he wouldn't make a meaningful recovery, due to brain swelling, so they took him off of life support, and he suffocated for 11 hours. He was 19.

I like these threads

but seriously, I never need any more books.
