/lit/ - Literature

To clarify, Amazon. If you're not in the US, shipping costs may prevent you from qualifying, but you can try.

Complete works of Shakespeare.

>>3257227

I'm not posting mine as I already have hundreds I own and still need to read, but thank you for this thread OP. It brings back good memories.

Could you buy ebooks and strip the DRM? That would end up benefiting more people for less money.

>>3257238
It would also not benefit authors nearly as much. Feel free to team up with someone to find more free books, but I think it's not hard to find almost anything for free already.

>>3257243
You'd really be wrong on that. There's a lot out there that you can't get for free yet, even things moderately popular on /lit/. Krasznahorkai and W.G. Sebald, for example.

It was just a request though. What you're doing is very great of you!

i love you anon merry christmas

is the tempest worth reading? if you say yes its on my list

Are you rich?

>>3257252
you need to add a shipping address to your list

Heard this was good. I'd love to check it out.

http://www.amazon.com/Sailor-Who-Fell-Grace-Sea/dp/0679750150

>>3257252
You need to enter a shipping address. I won't see it, but it's needed before I can purchase anything.

That book looks interesting, by the way--I've heard of the title but never bothered to see what it is. Putting it on my own list.

>>3257256
No, but I have a good job and thus more money than I really need. And waaaay too many books.

>>3257263
Further clarification: you must create an Amazon wish list, with a shipping address. Then post the link to the list.

Poor Yurofriend here. Can I play?

>>3257269
Go for it. I remember shipping to Finland in the past, so it really depends on how ridiculous the costs are.

>>3257266

How do we know this isn't an elaborate ruse to find our home address, break in, and touch our buttholes?

>>3257260
done. sorry about that

Doesn't OP see the address/name?

>>3257264
I wish I had an account on amazon, then.

Good attitude.

>>3257272
I guess you don't, but I'm sure you can imagine that Amazon wants people to feel safe about posting public wish lists. If you don't feel safe, then that's your choice. But take a look at the list above and you'll see it only lists a name and city.

>>3257252
Thanks for adding that. Happy holidays.

>>3257277
Nope.

How do you add things to your wishlist?

>>3257282
Have an Amazon account. Find an item. Look in the upper-right-hand corner, click "add to wish list".

>>3257280
happy holidays to you, man. thanks a bunch i think this has made my day

Please someone I need a book for the holidays, is the tempest great?

>>3257290
If you like Shakespeare, it is pretty essential. If it's your first Shakespeare, then you might find it a bit inscrutable. I love it, personally.

>>3257290
not really...

You're an old fashioned gentlemen OP.

http://amzn..com/w/1AH58APBNI5KH

>>3257302
Actually I'm a slob and need a shower, but thanks anyway. Enjoy your Camus.

But surely OP will see the address it has to be dispatched to?

http://amzn..com/w/3QL60ZN184N7Z

I'll gift a few people ITT even if the OP or none of you gift me. Tis the gift of giving they say.

>>3257317
You new to this? Make an amazon wishlist, then post the link here. Do it so I can give you a gift, fgt. Your address will be hidden, and your name too, if you choose to hide it.

>>3257317
No, really. All I see is the name you have listed (not necessarily your real name) and your city.

>>3257319
That's the spirit! Everyone one should read GEB--it's on its way.

>>3257316
You can have me anyway you want.

>>3257222
Very nice of you OP. I don't need anything myself though, but thanks.

>>3257325
That fast! Now you post your amazon, list you great human being!

>>3257319
I forgot to say: I-81 represent.

>>3257337
Naw, that's not how Robin Hood rolls.

Cheers, OP

>>3257280

Good enough for me. Can't thank you enough, Anon.

For some weird reason, 4chan keeps mistaking the Amazon link as spam. If you plug this into the other Amazon URLs, you'll get my list: JUIKPJZ02PQ

Does Amazon still ship before Christmas this late?

http://amzn..com/w/2WP7KQIB7ZYTA

>>3257340
Well I can't thank you enough internet Robin Hood, thanks thanks thanks!

These are the last three I'm going to do for now, but if someone else wants to continue, blessings be upon you.
>>3257358
D'oh, sorry! You are too late, I am no longer honoring requests.

I doubt I did this correctly. also I'm from Canada. could'n get the link to bypass spam filter so thats my unique code for my wishlist

>>3257362
>>3257360

Holy shit is OP legit?

How do you shorten the wishlist link if so?

>>3257358
OP buy this guy a scabbard to cover that edge

>>3257362
I'll fit you in, too.

>>3257353
BTW, I have Amazon Prime, so these are all free 2-day shipping (at least in the US).

>>3257362
Well, maybe put a book on there that isnt $40...and Santa may grant your wish...not the OP.

>>3257372
>>3257371
thank you very much OP. and like the other guys said, it's expensive, so by all means purchase a used copy. pick either book, surprise me

>>3257372
Seriously, dude. Keep the costs down!

UK, but I'll give it a shot anyway. I remember someone once bought me C&P from a similar thread a few years ago. It became one of my favourite novels. Thanks OP.

Bravo, good people of /lit/.

>>3257352
Wanted to let you know that yours will take a while, the shipping was kinda steep to CA. 2 weeks or so.

http://www.amazon . com/gp/aw/ls

Wow Anon I'm not expecting anything else for Christmas, thank you so much just for suggesting this!

>>3257407
Like I said, I'm done, but in case any one else gifts you should know that that's not a valid address. Click the "share this list" link to get the amzn URL.

>>3257401

Not a problem at all, dude. I'm just really grateful.

>>3257389
One hundred pounds of Goo Gone heading to your address.

>>3257409
In that case....anyone got a bibliotik invite?

>>3257409

Just wanted to let you know that you're a great guy OP, you're making this world a better place, you know. Paying it forward and all.

You said you've sent your last but i'm gonna post my list just in case.

http://amzn.com/w/1DXPRT2E5ITLT

OP, or whomever is buying these books now, thank you. It's a really awesome thing to do. Merry Christmas!
/w/23FMQWJYN0P26

i don't need books

i need a reason to live ;_;

>>3257474
You may find it in a book.

>>3257474
If you're in the US and put this book on your list, I will get it for you:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Physics-Of-Consciousness-Quantum/dp/0738204366/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=
1355866296&sr=8-1&keywords=physics+of+consciousness

It will point you in the direction you are looking.

>>3257474
Protip: You need to do away with the need for a reason to live.

>>3257499
Looks like religious propaganda. What's the "quantum proof" (words taken from review) of God?

>>3257502
This. A thousand times, this.

On the other side of years of depression, I wonder how I could ever have thought things were so bad.

>>3257222

tl;dr: no awesome trips/

>>3257502

true. i don't need to do anything. that is a comforting thought.

i sure do wish i could do nothing whilst a sexy lady bounced on my penis and money showered over us though.

>>3257511
Thank god none of those guys are here. You just get me, the most forgettable of all the trips.

>>3257474
there is no self
suffering is an illusion
and life is an act of creativity

go on, my son, LIVE!

>>3257505
There is no talk of "religion" in the book except for a brief chapter on Zen Buddhism, and Zen Buddhism in particular is very much not a religion at all, though outsiders see it as that. The book is

1/3 history of physics
1/3 biography of the author
1/3 some quantum physical theories of the author, which ties in with the other two thirds in many ways.

The history of physics is fascinating, the biography is moving, and his theories, while you may disagree with him in some areas, are overall uplifting. There are many things that you have always thought about--but never put into words--that you will find in this book, waiting to be revealed to you.

OP is too nice!

>>3257519
Hm. I'm not >>3257474 but that sounds pretty interesting.

>>3257525
Put it in your amazon list and reply to this post if you live in the US. Can't afford shipping elsewhere.

>>3257527
Sure. I live on the east coast.

http://amzn..com/w/1AH58APBNI5KH

Much appreciated.

>>3257534
Merry Christmas anon, enjoy the read.

no, i live in the uk. thank you for the offer though. very kind.

happy holidays everybody.

You are a kind person, regardless if this gets picked up or not. I just started browsing this board and I think I like it here.

http://amzn..com/w/3FQND0NZXNL3W

I'm also open to any recommended reading.
Thanks a bunch for being so kind and generous!

Not really related to the thread but does /lit/ have a book-swap thing?

I have a bunch of books that I'd happily swap for ones I haven't read

Happy Holidays OP! Any one of these would be extremely exciting. Thanks!

>>3257601
No, but that would be cool...

>>3257601
There's one guy who gives away books he's read to /lit/ users every now and then. He doesn't ask for anything in return though.

Post your list of books to swap and maybe entice someone?

>>3257601
That's not very efficient in the age of the e-reader. It would be like cd swapping via mail.

>>3257624
It could work for books that don't have ebooks. Of which there are plenty.

Not troll, but I'm done for today, sorry. Someone else might get into the fuck-you-Jesus-materialism-rules spirit, though.

>>3257637
How much is too much for a book?
Do you buy used?
I'd feel better if you bought used books to save money to buy more books.

>>3257637
I tend to buy at $15 or less. I don't buy used, because shiny new books are nice, you fuckers can afford $3 bucks if you want a used book, and because I want to help stimulate the primary publishing market.
