/lit/ - Literature

Someone who purportedly buys things off someone's Amazon wishlists, and then comes back later claiming to be the recipient.

Not here.

>>866307
Not who, where.

;_;

>>866351

Uh huh. I misread. It's true though; giftanon is a myth.

He struck sometime last night, and bought things for 4 people. It was random and glorious.

not in town right now.

don't you kids have garbage cans to pillage instead?

>>866383

There is only one?

>>866376

He's not. I got books from him.

>>866437

There can be only one.

Fucking freeloaders...

>Unclear on the concept of generosity.

>>866624
No, I think he's got it right. Gifts are freely given, not demanded. That's at best, charity.

Are you people looking for a handout?

>>866689

Yes? Now give me free stuff.

>>866689

Nobody is demanding anything. OP was simply asking whether giftanon is around. Why so judgemental?

>>866689

You're too good for freebies, huh.

Post your lists anyway, it's fun to see them.

>>866728

Ok. I have shit taste though.

Oh god, please don't let this turn into /v/ with all the begging threads.

Internet pan-handling man...Welcome to the internet age.

Also, I am definitely not trying to get books, I already got 2 from the wonderful jp. I just love seeing what books /lit/ wants, and stealing ideas from them.

>>866796

You have a cool selection.

It amazes me that people are so convinced giftanons are a myth. And yes, there is definitely more than one.

>>866766
Aside from the Ayn Rand box set, not terrible.

>>866886

Honestly don't really know all that much about Rand other than she invented some kind of silly philosophy or something. A friend is a huge fan of hers and will not shut up about her work, so i figured I might as well put them on it.

Alright, filling 20-30$ from the next 10 wishlists that are posted, so post away!

>>866922

Objectivism is SERIOUS BUSINESS!

>>866932

You trolling?

>>866932

Already posted mine up here >>866766

>>866938
There'd be no reason to.

Worth a try!

http://www.amazon.ca/wishlist/21GM1KYXV6BOR

Weee! Getting Les miserables would be cool!

http://www.amazon.ca/registry/wishlist/1TVW6XRGCRGHF

>>866766

You do know Howl's Moving Castle the book has little to do with the movie, right?

>>866965

Yes. But I'm a big fan of the movie and thought it would be an interesting read none the less.

>>866945
>>866954
I imagine these girls to be petite and blonde and cute and French and it's nice.

You guise got trolled.

>>866978

Business as usual on 4chan.

>>866973

Lol'd. We are room-mates.

>>866985
I was thinking sisters, but roommates may be even better.

>>866992
And one reads Batman...

>>866954
Tried to read 'Du coté de chez Swann' for school once, could not get through it. Not so much because it was a difficult read, but it just didn't seem to be worth my time or effort. To each his/her own I suppose.

>>866954

Zut... I didn't realize one of the Miserables volumes are out of stock. It will take awhile to save up for all the volumes of Proust now.

>>866999

Someone strongly recommended the series to me. I've never read Proust (did lots of Voltaire, Maupassant, Roy, and some weird ones that my teachers liked), so I'm very curious.

>>866954

À la recherche du temps perdu est bien moins cher si on l'achète tout ensemble que volume par volume.

Cherchez 978-2070754922.

>>866997

My favourite Bat-books are Legends of the Dark Knight. Sadly, the series is discontinued. I like other stuff too, like Transmet.

Ça c'est les deux premières parties seulement selon la description sur Amazon?

>>867017
ou puis-je acheter les livres francais?

>>867024

Merde, les pages de Amazon.com et .ca ne disent pas la même chose.

Elodie, quelqu'un vous demande une question. >>867032

CHING CHONG CHING CHONG CHING

This is 4chan. We speak American here, bub.

>>867040
Pas aujourd'hui, mon ami.

>>867040

Mal au cul?

>>867045
Je pense que oui.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2BZAZGLVOS6I5

>>867045

ahah, je viens de passer "mal au cul" par google translate, au cas où un curieux voudrait savoir. Ça traduit par "bad ass", ce qui est loin de l'intention de mon message!

>>867034

J'ai cherché longtemps pour un tome complet :P

>>867061

Lol. Douleur au cul?

>>867061
The French language fails again.

>>867061
mal au fesses

Elodie, will you marry meeee?

>>867062

et rien trouvé?

Même pas une vieille édition qui laisserait au moins l'espoir de tomber sur la collection dans quelque boutique de livres usagés?

À part celle de la Bibliothèque de la Pléiade, évidemment. Je n'ai pas une fortune à dépenser sur une oeuvre que j'ai de grandes chances de ne jamais finir...

>>867065

Google did.

>>867064

>Butthurt

>>867072
Soit qu'elle est partie, ou qu'elle t'ignore par exprès.

>>867074

Rien. Il y a un très beau boxset complet en anglais pour une cinquantaine de dollars. It's the closest thing I could find -- kind of ironic.

>>867072

Keep buying me books, we'll see later. In the meantime I'll keep fucking other guys.

>>867091

No. I'm single. But I've already responded in the other thread.

>>867020
A fine choice indeed, /co/mrade. Shaman, Gothic and Venom were fantastic!

I quite enjoy Transmet, too. Even if it is very Ellis...

>>867089

Il y a une question de marché. Il y a 200 millions de francophones dans le monde (dont une grande part vit en Afrique). Aux États-Unis seulement il y a 150% de ce monde, sachant virtuellement tous lire, auxquels on doit ajouter le Canada, le Royaume-Unis et l'Australie.

Ce genre de chose ne m'étonne plus guère.

>>867089
C'est toujours plus facile à trouver les traductions anglaises que l'original. :(

>>867106

Have you read Batman: Black and White? Those are also very good. Three volumes, if I remember well.

>>867107

>on doit ajouter le Canada, le Royaume-Unis et l'Australie

et tout le reste du monde sauf la francophonie, qui parle mieux anglais que français.

Dear God, I really hope most of you are actually french, and not just trying to impress this Elodie person.

>>867107
>>867108

Malheureusement!

Will you post your voice on here, Elodie? You'd make hundreds of ronery virgins happy.

>this thread

>>867123

Who the fuck is this Elodie? She just showed up or is she known around here?

>>867123
J'ai vraiment rien d'autre à faire. :)

>>867128
Des centaines? Sur /lit/? Je crois qu'on exagère un peux.

>>867123

Butthurt that people can write so well in both French and English that you can't tell which is their first language.

>>867138
She posted her wishlist a while back and garnered a fanbase based on that lovely name and I guess her taste in books too?

>>867138

Some beggar who posts her silly wishlist in any thread remotely associated with giving.

>>867149
It is a pretty cute name.

>>867146
Peut-être plus de vingt cette heure de la nuit.

Santa's real.
I got gifts from him.

>>867123
>>867138

Someone sure is butthurt.

>>867119
I have read most of Batman's big arcs and one-shots and whatnot. Black and White is among my favourite of the lot.

Yes, quite right. It was indeed 3 volumes.

>>867147
J'avoue que je ne suis pas vraiment habile au francais, mais je peux quand meme me faire comprendre. (Et non, je ne vais pas me troubler a chercher tous les maudits accents)

I do speak Spanish fluently though.

>>867149

Lol'd. Là on exagère. I don't have a "fanbase."

>>867149
I swear, if this turns out to be /lit/'s Bawk-sy..

>>867172
you know you can just say boxxy, right?

>>867170
Aw. I'mma pair you and jp up in my head. It's /lit/'s representative couple.

You guys are all worshiping this person based on her name.

Here's a hint: "Librearbitre" is fucking made up.

I'm one of the lucky 4 who jp gifted last night. This joke - because it had fucking better be a joke - about trying to marry this french canadian girl makes me with the thread never fucking took place. And these motherfucking begging threads are an affront to all that the book gifting phenomenon represents.

>>867174
Bawk-sy.
I seperated the two syllables to make a slight pun on the word Book and Bawk.

Hilarious, right?
Guess not..

>>867166

Vous vous débrouillez assez bien!

Chanceux(se?) - j'aimerai apprendre un peu d'espagnol un jour.

>>867183
you should have just said booksy.
that wasn't even a noticeable pun.

>>867186
Sorry.

>>867166

¿Va a dolerte más el culo si te digamos que unos de nosotros _también_ hablamos español (por lo menos al punto de tener los acentos faciles que acceder)?

>>867181
Because of your wish -> with typo I will now read your post as if you have a lisp.

who the fuck is boxxy?

WHAT IS THIS THREAD EVEN ABOUT?

>>867195

buying some french chicks books.

Sprachenfest im 4chan!

>>867195
This is nighttime /lit/. For some of us, anyway.
We're tired as fuck and it's about nothing.

Come join the party, it's the Fourth of July.

>>867195

en este thread hablamos en cualquier idioma que hemos aprendido en escuela secundaria

>>867181
This is 4chan. Anything straying from the norm is bound to get abused to the point of nausea. The only real surprising thing is that it happened this quick.

We should probably all just remark on each other's faggotry and call it a day.

>>867190
que?

>>867190
No.

>>867198
Yeah boi we'z found da secret 2 gettin laid!

>>867217
shit's cash, yo.

>>867206

Today should henceforth be Everyone Is a Faggot Day.

It's not like today is already holding some holiday of any sort.

>>867229
I'll fag your face!

Look at what happens once the french people leave.

The only way to properly derail this thread is with...

*drum roll*

Pregnant Vegeta.

>>867270
So far nothing.

>>867278

This thread was on the tracks to start with.

>>867278

Haters gonna hate.

Ok, can folks just post their bloody lists so at least we can steal ideas?

When you buy a book from someone's wishlist, do you get access to their address.

Because giftfag stalking this Elodie would be the funniest thing.

>>867317

No. You get city and country only.

>>867317
The perfect crime.

>>867327
Well, at least that narrows it down for us a bit.

>>867335
How many girls can there be in Montreal?

>>867335

Are you stalkerfag?

>>867305
sure thing!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/3LXKGJ4P4TJHH

don't hit on me you silly boys! ;)

>>867354
troll

>>867354
too obvious

>>866766

Okay, I just bought you "Cat's Cradle."

>>867349

Hundreds of thousands.

>>867371

look, uppity french bitches get no books, ha

What's Elodie's last name?

>>867381
Well, if I start date-raping them all now, I should have boned Elodie by some time next year.

Can anyone tell me what price Amazon shows for the following book?

http://www.amazon.com/Road-Serfdom-Routledge-Classics-S/dp/0415255430/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&col
iid=I2IHV4E50ZGCEH&colid=282JH6MMXOVLV

It can't really be 300$, can it?

>>867395
Made up.

>>867400

$300, but they're all third-party sellers, so it's not Amazon setting the price.

>>867400

Yup, that's what it shows. It's from a 3rd party seller though.

>>867354

This playlist makes me laugh, but not enough to buy anything.

>>867400

Also that's the hardcover. Softcover is $40.

>>867400

try this instead: 978-0226320557

>>867371

Ah! Thank you!

>>867391
>>867397

Gee, you guys sure are class.

>>867371
I lol'd 'cause that wasn't even on that guy's list.

Actually, I think this is a better way to work these threads. People post their wish-lists, then, if someone wants, they buy them something random that they personally like. Might cut out the begging.

>>867371

Are you jp or stalkerfag?

>>867425

It was on the guy's list. It disappeared when I bought it for him.

>>867426

Neither.

>>867425
Can you even buy something for someone if it's not on their wishlist?

>>867426
So nobody gives books anymore?

>>867440

Hi JP. Hope you're feeling better.

>>867440

Huh? I just sent the guy a book because he wasn't a pretentious fakey Frenchfag.

I think you need to lay low for a bit, jp.

These guys are getting greedy.

>>867453
Seconded.

I was going to make a roll chart. What do you guys think? If the list is repeated in the thread, disregarded. Too strict?

>>867463
Not strict at all.
Go for it.

>>867447
pretentious==speaks a language I don't

>>867463
Do it.

>>867447

Yeah, because being able to speak more than one language is pretentious.

>>867440
Can you confirm that this is your wishlist? A few weeks ago, this had a shipping address...

http://amzn.com/w/126I1J6ETSU1Y

>>867476

No, you're confusing "pretentious fakey Frenchfag" with, "pretentious because he's a fakey Frenchfag."

>>867474
That's a heug list

>>867484
Moi t'en faire un "pretentious fakey Frenchfag".

>>867474
This is a pretty good list.

>>867490

LMAO.

Feel free to exclude those of us you've gifted before, JP. We're grateful for your generosity.
