>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 10 04:52:03 2010 No.894405 >>894402 yeah i was never good with fractions

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 10 04:52:03 2010 No.894407 2/3 + 4/9 =/= a book

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 10 04:55:03 2010 No.894418 >>894396 dear god my main question is if a book was written that mixes philosophical discussion with fantasy would lit be interested in it ?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 10 04:57:03 2010 No.894426 That sounds like too much philosophy Make it like 1/6th and then I'd be down for it

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 10 06:09:03 2010 No.894526 Alain Damsasio did it pretty well. But i don't know if his books are translated in English yet.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 10 06:14:03 2010 No.894536 >>894526 If it's not English then it doesn't count. Reading is more of an English thing, as it is the most expressive of the languages.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 10 10:21:03 2010 No.894806 it's gonna be overfull op

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 10 10:25:03 2010 No.894814 >>894806 It's true. 1/9 of your words will fall out.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 10 10:26:03 2010 No.894817 >>894814 He could probably fit the rest of the words on the back of the book if he uses a tiny font.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 10 14:40:03 2010 No.895306 I don't even know what philosophy is. And I've always had difficulty distinguishing fact from fiction. What chance would I have against this opus?
