guys i officially made it. went to a huge used book sale in town, literally thousands and thousands of used books for sale. everything is donated, so everything is dirt fucking cheap. grabbed a solid 15 books or so, and this ancient cashier lady after ringing me up asked if i was literature professor. feeling smug as fuck.

One time in high school I was volunteering at a library that was selling a large amount of books to help with some church thing. I worked for about 2 hours and at the end of it the lady who I was running the thing said I could take a few books for free. I declined because even then I had money to spend on books and I was well aware of places like libgen. She insisted so I ended up snagging an old book on math that was aimed at WW2 vets looking to start college with their GI bill, the second an old book on first aid. Belonged to some nurse in college. And the third was Moby Dick.

Nice
I’ve got a similar Edition to the Tolstoy only it’s Works of Ballsack.
The Red and the Black is oddly underrated on this board. I’ve tried getting threads started on it but it drops off in a while and some Twitter outrage bait thread goes on for a week

Its an odd edition, the translation picks different spellings for lots of names of that.

I've been thinking about life for months now, nonstop. I keep thinking everyday, from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep; NO! even while sleeping I dream about life. As the days go by, I grow curiouser and curiouser. It's hard to define what it is, it's ambiguous. Many philosophers had pondered about life, but no one has it figured out. Don't lose hope anons, you got me. I almost have it all figured out, wait for me. In this literal shit of a world we live in, people like is what society actually need but sadly society doesn't even know who it needs, so I still am an anon to everyone. When I have it all figured out, please don't write books about me. I ain't that great, I'm just a human like everyone else. Shit! I forgot I have an exam, gotta go
ps: to be continued

Can you now do college level math, perform first aid and recite Father Mapple's sermon?

nta but they used "they" because they were referring to their old hands.

but assuming gender neutrality is pretty based

Just know that all the books had probably been well-travelled toilets wise.
