/lit/ - Literature

B-But how?

>>4312442
who knows

id upload it but cant find a site that lets me ul 80 mb pdfs without making an account

IS THAT "WHAT.CD"?

>>4312457
yessir

largest bounty on a torrent in the history of the site, like 6 terabytes or some obscene ammount

DID YOU TAKE THAT SCREENCAPTURE?

IF SO, WHY DO YOU NOT DOWNLOAD IT?

>>4312468
snatched didnt show up yet. its on my pc. its short ,40 pages for all three stories.

>>4312431
No

fucking

WAY

HOLY SHIT ITS FUCKING REAL

HOLY SHIT

HOLY SHIT

>>4312472

ENGLISH, PLEASE.

>>4312484
Basically, "to snatch" is what.cd lingo for "to download"

I'm currently downloading it as well.

>>4312489

AH.

CAN YOU CURRENTLY SEND "INVITES"?

IF SO, SEND ME ONE, AND I WILL PAY YOU.

>>4312494
I can invite, but I am not doing it for this.

I will upload the text to pastebin, though.

>>4312494

sent ;)

>>4312500

IN WHAT FORMAT IS THE ARCHIVE?

>>4312515
It is a .pdf file. I'm going to convert it to images and make an imgur album.

>>4312517
while you do that im uploadin the whole thing to mediafire

>>4312517

WHY DO YOU NOT JUST UPLOAD THE ARCHIVE TO "MEDIAFIRE", OR "MEGA"?

IF YOU ARE GOING TO SHARE IT FREE OF CHARGE, AT LEAST DO IT PROPERLY –WHY WOULD YOU TAMPER WITH IT?

>>4312528
First off, stop with the caps

Second, I could upload it there, but I think the imgur would be easier to distribute. I'll upload it while it converts, I guess

>>4312520
Thank you anon, the thought of having to get an interview and stuff just to enter sounds horrible. On the other hand, the site sounds cool, so why doesn't an anon just invite everyone?
Like >>4312502

>>4312535
Because when you invite someone to what.cd they become your responsibility. If they break a rule you also get banned as well as them. Nothing to gain from inviting someone, your account to lose

>>4312535
Invites are srs business. If you get banned, I would also get banned, and what.cd is extremely strict.

Take the interview, it's easier.

Also, images converted, beginning upload. Probably 3 minutes, if that.

>>4312541
Oh wow, I see now. So a big risk then. Also, why is it so secretive? I can't really see what it has to lose from being public, apart from spammers or trolls or something, which can be easily dealt with,

>>4312535
>>4312541
This is true, but to add to it, invites are not exactly rare, but you're limited to only 2 or 4 depending on your user class. Only if you invite really good users or become one of the user classes that are ridiculous to achieve do you start to get invites like candy (or if you become a designated IRC interviewer).

>>4312549
They are very, very, very strict on quality. You need to know a bunch about music encoding to pass the interview, and they want to make sure everything is well-seeded.

HERE YOU GO FAGGOTS

ENJOY

>>4312549
it would be a disaster. the site would become a clusterfuck, and there would be no incentive to make a good profile and ratio because you could simply make a new account.

I used to think like you but once i joined the site and sat around for a while i understood why its the way it is with its autistic bureaucracy. The system works well.

>>4312532

NOONE WANTS TO READ A BOOK IN IMAGES.

HOW WOULD THAT BE EASIER TO DISTRIBUTE THAN JUST UPLOADING IT TO A FILESHARING WEBSITE?

>>4312549
To preserve quality in short

>>4312549
Not a member, but i think it's to preserve a certain standard. They have these strict admittance rules, and you have to follow the rules after you join. It makes sure, that only the ones who dedicated time to it, will be able to join

HERE IT IS

http://www.mediafire.com/view/78n5ptwquvq11g6/Three%20Stories%20-%20J.%20D.%20Salinger.pdf

download it now because i wont keep it up forever

>>4312559
A .pdf is a book in images, retard.It's just scans inside of a file.

>>4312559
>NOONE WANTS TO READ A BOOK IN IMAGES.
That's what the pdf is. It hasn't been retyped

>>4312562
And, if you want, here's it as an imgur album:

I THANK YOU.

>>4312556
>>4312560
Thanks for the info. I just looked at the things you need to know for the interview, shouldn't be too hard if I prepare for a day or too. I think I might go for the interview, as the site looks good.
>>4312562
Thank you anon, we love you

OH MY GOD GUYS, THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.
I had a horrible day, but this makes me truly happy. Thank you so much.

Is this /lit/'s version of that Godspeed! Black Emporer tape on /mu/?

Also meme-lit general thread I guess

>>4312650


>>>/mu/

>>4312573

REI do you like B&H Smooth?

what in the actual fuck??

>>4312578
Hey! Any chance you have any other rare nuggets of literature? I'd apply to watch.cd but I'm going into boot camp soon, getting rid of my internet connection and not gonna have a steady or even good connection for a while.

:S If there's any other pieces you think I'd be interested in and if you're willing, let me know my c/lit/oral brother.

>>4312650
Kind of, but while there's no guarantee the the GYBE tape will ever surface, these books were all going to be made public in 40 or so years anyway, and you could always read them if you were willing to take the trip to Princeton anyway.

do we know if this is real?

Okay I just finished Ocean Full of Bowling Balls

It's pretty good. Lot of Catcher references/stuff that would later appear in Catcher.

>>4312650
Leaking Godspeed significantly reduces it's value.

Nobody loses any money when Bowling Balls is released, that's why we're getting it and /mu/ ain't.

>>4312674
Nah bro i just took that from what.cd. i dont have shit personally.

these writings will hardly be "rare" in a day from now.

I haven't even read it yet but I'm going insane telling everyone about it.

I'm such a phone.

Is it fake tho

>>4312674
This is why c/lit/s should be part of whatcd like /mu/tants. Or other book trackers. Rare literature sometimes appear on there.

>6TB bounty

Holy mother of fuck.

I'm so jealous.

wait... wat.cd has books?

>not honoring Salinger's dying wishes and just taking a trip to Princeton to read the stories

All of you disgust me.

>>4312731
but nobody is going to lose any money over All Lights Fucked either, moron

>>4312549
Because sharing music is illegal.

>>4312933
Yeah, they're a pretty shitty book site though. Bibliotik is better.

>>4312948
>not honoring Kafka's dying wishes and just burning all his manuscripts

All of you disgust me.

I thought everyone hated catcher

is this the shit salinger was really anal about not letting anyone read outside of the yale special collections book room?

>>4312969
anything on bibliotik and more can just be found on irc servers, what's the point.

>>4312459
filthy plebeian here. could someone explain this bounty thing and why is it a big deal?

>>4313007

On what.cd you have to maintain a ratio. For every byte you download, you have to upload at least 0.2 bytes or your account gets deleted. This is a lot harder to do than it sounds, since this creates a "ratio economy" where people are bearish about downloading and everyone seeds everything.

By filling bounties, you get extra upload credit added to your account. The guy who uploaded this got credit for 6TB of seeding.

>>4313013
so he can technically download the internet legally for free now?

>>4313022
:^)

>>4313022

Yeah, basically.

>>4312559
you're annoying and an idiot. when was the last time you spoke to another human being in person?

Just saw this on /mu/

How?

I thought the only copy of Ocean Full of Bowling Balls was at Princeton under strict supervision and not to be published until like 2050 or something.

Did someone snatch it out of there and make scans? If so, how fucked are they going to be when the Salinger family lawyers figure out who this is (and they will).

I admire the spirit of sharing, but I fear for whoever did this.

>>4313077
>(and they will).
they would have done something already considering this self-compiled book was up on ebay before being here.

it might not even be legit.

>>4313022
>legally

>>4313083
>might

>>4313086
may?
what do you want from me?

My beds cold and I want a /mu/ bf to snuggle with :(

>>4313121
>/mu/ back together with /x/??
/mu/ here, since when are we with /x/? Fuck that place.
I'll be your /mu/ bf though

>>4313121
>/mu/ back together with /x/

what the fuck
no

>>4313121
/mu/ and /x/ are fuck buddies but not actually dating any more

>>4313121
/mu/ and [s4s] are beginning a relationship. its seems like its going well.

>>4313121
>roleplaying as the board you post on
>boards "dating" each other
Absolutely disgusting. Also I always though /mu/ was dating /sp/

>>4313126
Aww thanks :3

You're sweet *blushes*

>>4313141
...Y-you too...
...What's your favorite Swans album?

>>4313137
no way m8, /sp/ dates /hm/

>>4313137
/mu/ and /sp/ are bros, we cant date that would be gay

>>4313143
*/fit/ dates /hm/

>>4313142
I don't know much about them sorry ;_;

Could you recommend one for me??

I like Swann's Way by Proust though

>>4313143
I heard /sp/ dumped /hm/ after /sp/ tested HIV positive

>>4313121
/pol/ is dating /k/

/x/ used to date /mu/ but is single now since /mu/ is dating /lit/

I think /int/ hooked up with someone at the Winter Ball but I don't know who

>>4313149
Children of God bb

>>4313149
swans are fucking garbage, don't bother with that shit taste buster.

>>4313137
>/mu/ dating /sp/

No fucking thank you

>>4313150
wtf is this. how do you know all these stuff? I've never seen any threads about this dating

/r/ing the drawings of /mu/ and /lit/ holding hands

>>4313150
I've been told /hm/ got hiv from /b/
...kinda makes sence

>>4313162
/sp/ doesn't kiss and tell

>>4313166
>>4313166
>>4313166

>>4313155
Definitely gives the best impression of their musical styles, but I'd still say that Cop is the superior album

>>4313166

>>4313162
Do you even Winter Ball?

>>4313172
Cop may be superior, in fact Children of God isn't even their best album, but I think it's the best intro to Swans

>>4313172

there's a cuter one than that faggot

>>4313168
>sence
You are not permitted to attend this years Christmas Ball. Take the year off and reflect on your actions.

>>4313172
Thanks for this.

Also I heard /tv/ has a thing for /adv/, but I'm not sure if it's just a rumour

>>4313178
#rood

>>4313166
I deleted them when we split up. I have some of us with /x/
(/mu/ here, obviously)

>>4313181
/tv/ here
after being raped by /pol/, we're not really ready for a relationship just yet.

>>4313188
Ugh, I'm so jealous of /x/ she's so naturally good-looking

>>4313194

I heard /r9k/ was seeping into your anus though.

>>4312997
Bibliotik has retail copies. Irc has the shit trash copies that circulate everywhere.

>>4313197
No, he just keeps calling and leaving creepy messages which we're trying our best to ignore.

/mu/ here

We're dating /x/

Stop calling me, I'm not going to pick up

Is /r9k/ still depressed about his break up?

>>4313172
>Cop
>The better album

a true /lit/ pleb to be sure

>>4313205
I bet you liked The Seer faggot

>>4313203

/x/ dumped you once it learned how to summon a succubus.

Sorry to break up this here circle-jerk but /pol/ has THE BEST females userbase on this here site.

Gas the kikes, race war NOW!

>>4313194
omg thats terrible
/mu/ beat up /tg/ because they used to hit /x/ when they were together
we could take care of /pol/ if you want
just say the word

>>4313208
>Implying The Seer isn't GOAT
Wow I'm glad I only came here for JDS

>>4313214

actually /cos/ does, mixed in with hambeasts.

too bad /fa/ has always had his dick in her.

>>4313217
Now that /pol/ is butt buddies with the trigger happy /k/, we're all just trying not to provoke them. I think it's best.

>>4313218
Trick's on you, I main /mu/

Who's the pleb now

>>4313203
/mu/ here, we are dating /a/

>>4313234
Fuck no we aren't holy shit

Can someone explain to a /lit/ pleb from /mu/ the Ocean Full of Bowling Balls?

I read it but I don't really get it

>>4313234
Fuck off Friendo

>>4313234

/a/ is like the cute girl in the brothel that is /d/, /y/, /e/, etc.

My uncle and his wife owna one of the 33 "All Lights Fucked on a Hairy Amp Drooling" casettes, I've listened to it and all, but it's not that special, really, lots of musique concrete rather than actual GY!BE-y post-rock you all are used to, lots of weird-ass samples, I remember it very clearly, it's weird. But yeah, I'd KILL for all that bounty on what, but
1. My what.cd account got suspended for not logging in over a week
2. My uncle has told me before that he has no interest in sharing it on the Internet because he says that Constellation Records themselves would sew him if he does and that if he ever did it, he'd sell it for over a thousand dollars on eBay.

He also won't let me listen to it again, he says he's scared of damaging it, he literally keeps it in a safe :/ I'll have to keep begging.

>>4313230
Still you, friend

Always have, and will be

XOXO

>>4313238
have you read catcher in the rye?

We're there bowling balls?

>>4313243

anyone notice that /toy/ has just been masturbating to his in the corner this entire time? is that a pink ranger figure?

>this entire thread

Call me a miser but I hate you all.

>>4313241
>My what.cd account got suspended for not logging in over a week
Honestly, I'd like to be on one of these sites and I understand why they have to be like this, but the more I learn about them the more it just seems like too much of a hassle. you can't even be away from home for a week that your account gets suspended, what the fuck.

>>4313259

go back to /s4s/

>>4313241
bullshit.

>>4313241
>My what.cd account got suspended for not logging in over a week
That's not the inactivity threshold, you liar.

>>4313263
that only applies if you're on the lowest tier of membership. as soon as you've got full member status (been the re a couple of weeks and uploaded some stuff) your account doesn't get zapped for inactivity. that guy clearly got an account and just didn't use it.

>>4312431
nice stylesheet

>>4313263
I think he's exaggerating about the week thing, but even in that case, all you have to do is go on irc and tell them you got banned for inactivity, and usually they'll lift the ban.

>>4313263

I lost a few accounts when my dad died because I didn't log in for a month or so. I don't mess with private trackers anymore.

Is this the stuff that was on lockdown at a library and could only be read at gunpoint?

>>4313275
I should also mention that it's copypasta anyway.

>>4313276
lol dude if my dad died the first thing I'd do is go on what and write 'lol my dad died' and maybe 'recs?'

>>4313283
You don't have a dad, do you?

>>4313285
Pretty sure I do. Unless he died recently.

>>4313287
Sorry about that

I'm here from /mu/. I do not /lit/ and Catcher in the Rye is my favorite book (although I'd imagine that's tantamount to claiming that Nevermind is your favorite album). This is fantastic.

That said, what the fuck does "the ocean is full of bowling balls" mean? Is it metaphoric?

>>4313263
He's full of shit; I invited my friend and he hasn't logged in in over a month.

>>4313241

>Constellation Records themselves would sew him if he does

Your uncle's a fucking idiot

ALF has NOTHING to do with constellation it was fucking self released

>>4313309
personally i think it means something along the lines of feeling something heavy when you think you should be feeling something a lot lighter, floating.

the contrast between those two emotional tangents, you know?

>>4313319
It keeps in key with the fertility theme of the song, while calling to mind the image of a snow-capped mountain.

>>4313386

If it isn't him and it's really good, who cares?

Shit, I haven't been here in almost a year. Good work /lit/izens.

Seriously though apparently they're not allowed to discuss pirated work there so they can literally not talk about this until 2060

>>4313479
Yes, and they're also the kind of people who report that shit since it's illegal. Let it flow pleasantly amongst readership naturally as these things do on the high seas. Fuck your imaginary internet karma, nobody cares about that compared to Salinger, why the fuck would you think they do?

Yes, I read OFOBB and it's pretty great.

>>4313529
You're horribly out of the loop friend. Do you mean casketjack's track or the fake?

>>4313545
Hey now, who says one can't both be /mu/ and /lit/?

Also I finished OFOBB and it depressed me. It's really great though. That Catcher backstory<3

>>4313533
>>4313549
>>4313556


Nah dog. Pretty sure its the real one. It has the 2 tracks that casketjack uploaded plus 25-something other ones. they all sound like the same band, and the same sound quality, which makes me pretty confident its real. absolutely terrible quality though. cant remember where I got it, but it was fucking forever ago.

>>4313568
Nobody believes you.

Do you know the fakes we both mentioned? The ones that are well known for being fake, look them up and compare.

>>4313573
I have. dl'ed the fakes several times before coming upon this one.

I guess a qualifying statement: I cannot say for certain that this is the real one. But it is definitely not either of the fakes that I have heard, and the entirety of it sounds very much like the 2 songs that have been confirmed:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRIHNgwH0PE

that being said, i suppose it is possible that this is another, different fake.

>>4312963
It lowers the value of the physical tape when the music is easily available, moron

Shut the fuck up you asshole about your stupid shit.

What the fuck did you think of the stories?

Look at this cute little pocket of /mu/

>Salinger short stories made publicly available for the first time
>new material from one of the most prominent authors in the English language
>most of the /lit/ thread is board-tan roleplaying and talking about /mu/

... Uh. I guess I'm surprised that I'm surprised by this.

Can we talk about the Ocean full of bowling balls?

I didn't exactly understand the title and its use in the story. All I can think back to is the wife from Vincents story throwing out her husbands bowling ball, likely out of anger for her past failures and as a means of ignoring them. Vincent acts in a similar way after Kenneth responds sourly to his story, letting his innocent childlike critique convince him that his story is bad and throwing it out right then and there.

He goes on for the rest of the day to let Vincent dictate most of what he does up until they get to wise man rock, where his lack of confidence leads to his brothers death by an "ocean full of bowling balls."

>>4313615

someone talk to him about bowling for ocean balls christ

>>4313615
Thought: The woman not letting her husband listen to the radio and what-not most likely caused him to cheat. Also, he obviously never actually bowled, since he was off with some other women on Wednesdays (hence why she visits his grave on Wednesdays).

I don't know what these things mean.

Are we even /lit/ now? What the actual fuck. And who invited /mu?

>>4313863
What.CD is our territory. There was a popular thread on this cause of it and there was a link to this thread.

So naturally we discussed boards dating.

>>4313795
>>4313837
This sounds a lot like a GSYBE album.

search reddit for whatcd and you get somebody's livid cock

one is the other is pink floyd after syd left

>>4313863
If they really cared about the work they'd delve into the thousands of lesser known pieces instead of obsessing over the lost ones. People are vain.

>>4313873
the second one IS a gy!be album. it's also one of the most popular bounties on what.cd

>They are very, very, very strict on quality. You need to know a bunch about music encoding to pass the interview, and they want to make sure everything is well-seeded.

no they aren't, they're fucking atrocious when it comes to reporting incorrectly downsampled rips/horrible vinyl rips/transcodes/fake lossless. you don't need to anything other than lossy > lossy is bad. they encourage hit n runs, they dont give a fuck about obscure content. i made most of my 1tb ratio off seeding freelech picks, i contribute nothing to the site.

speaking as a power user, been there a few years.

>>4313884
Oh, wow.
I'm not sure why I knew that one.

>>4313887
I read something about "free leach" on moo, but they only give you fake answers

I highly doubt I'd find anything to contribute, what exactly do you do to keep a good ratio?

pls respond

>>4313886
Isn't it mostly fake though?

>>4313910
What? It isn't released.

>>4313913
It was released but only in 33 copies.

Contrast to the supposed BoC tapes released in quantities of 50-100 which remain unheard of to this day.

>>4313910
hold on i'll show it to you it's at 15%

>>4313863
/mu/ and /lit/ are eternal lovers, the only patricians in a sea of artless, idiotic plebeans
we may hate each other, but we were fucking made for each other

I'm looking at it on youtube, and people are saying it's fake/that it's mostly a sideproject that they did.

>>4313899
like i said, jump on freeleech torrents and top 40/BNM pitchfork releases which are downloaded by thousands of people and just seed them

it works but its not contributing anything to the site, its just exploitative. but hey if its there ill exploit it.

>>4313582
>It lowers the value of the physical tape when the music is easily available, moron

you're dumb as fuck
he only leaked like one or two tracks off of the tape.

>>4313931
>I'm looking at it on youtube
Holy shit dude how dumb can you be.

So has everyone here read everything else by sallinger or are you all just phonies who want one more ebook to add to your terabyte of unread lit.

>>4313999
I've read Catcher In The Rye, Ocean Full of Bowling Balls, and that short story about the banana fish.

Come at me.

Why is nobody nearly as hyped about this event as they should be? Why is everyone talking about /mu/ and relationships? Is this everyone post-ironically acting like teenagers on purpose to celebrate Salinger's work?

>>4314011
The minute it was released, the mystique wore off. Nobody cares anymore.

It's probably why Salinger wanted 50 years to pass before publishing.

>>4314011
Literature is a dying art-form, grandpa. Why haven't you joined the music, film, and vidya masterrace yet?

In that case, no, it's not fake. Anything you see of the rest of the album is until further notice.

how do you read pdfs guys

>>4314237
drop it in a google chrome window

>>4314237
pls respond

do i just have to suffer through reading it on my laptop screen?

>>4314242
? Yes. Surely there are some devices (tablets, etc.) that could do it but if you don't have one of those you'll have to read it on your computer.

>>4314246
eh worth it idk why im complaining

So for those who have read catcher in the rye, what did you think of the ocean full of bowling balls?

>>4314261
I was disappointed that Holden didn't punch the windows in the garage and fuck up his hand like he said he did. That's my only complaint at all and it isn't even a valid one.

It's great.

>>4314261
It was beautiful.

But I'm a /mu/tant, so my opinion is worthless.

>>4314267
I'm pretty sure it was implied in the book that he did that at a later time. Would have probably fit that moment very well though

>>4314277
Yeah, I know. That's why I said that it wasn't a valid complaint, because there's a reason that it wasn't in there. It's just something I had imagined from it before the leak and was a little disappointed at it not being included.

fuck paula was so weird what was up with that right

>>4313615
Probably related to the loss of innocence theme. The bowling ball in the story represents the darkness of adulthood and humanity since its used as a revenge tool. Allie, being the pure child, rejects the story. The ocean of bowling balls then represents the world which consumes innocence.

>>4314510
Why did he say it when he "wanted a laugh", though?

>>4314524
Metaphorically its about loss of innocence. Psychologically that part seems to be a denial of the situation.

>>4314531
But Kenneth never lost innocence, he died, and then became a symbol of innocence for Holden and Vincent, haunting them like a ghost.

Fuck whoever posted this on /r/literature.

No edge intended but I do not want this relatively small board to be flooded with reddit faggots.

Go home.

>>4314681
How do I downvote this comment?

>>4314681
But the book has been leaked everywhere by now, what's the problem?

Is Corinthians the book about the guy who cuts himself with stones mentioned in The Catcher In The Rye?

>>4314698
I don't give a shit with it being linked, but people posting "I just saw this on /lit/ and I was like epic facepalm dude!" is retarded.

I occasionally go over to /r/literature and /r/books to see what kind of shit they talk about and it's pathetic.

>>4313077
He bought the copy (1 of 25) from eBay for 65 pounds ($120US) and put it up. Technically the request involved the other story, ("The Last and Best of the Peter Pans") but the creator of the 'bounty' settled for just the Ocean.

fake as fuck

>>4314776
confirmed by multiple 'salinger experts' in the likes of the LA Times

>>4314776
It's the real deal.

>>4314855
Fuck the press. This buzz is gonna fuck what.cd over, and the bro who uploaded it.

>>4315002
Good, getting rid of the most elitist tracker ever is just another advantage of all this.

>>4315013
Mad you failed the interview?

>>4315013
zeiko detected

>>4315002
that's their fault, not anyone else's

There were numerous ways they could've prevented this but chose not to

>>4315013
Those grapes were sour anyway.

>>4315017
Didn't try out for the interview but I'm sure I'd fail (unless I'd use one of those guides out there but I principally don't like what.cd so I won't).

>>4315018
I'm all for piracy pal, but piracy exclusively for the elite is counter intuitive and just seems empty.

>>4315026
No they weren't, I'm willing to admit I'm the fox that can't get the grapes I crave. But taking the grapes from one tree just to hang them on the branch of another tree is just cruel.

we're missing the bigger picture here - what business does ocean full of bowling balls have being printed in a publication from 1999?

this three stories book needs some further investigation

>>4315061
it was leaked?
Everyone already knows that.

A couple of paragraphs were posted on a livejournal account a few years back as well. Search the opening few lines in google and it comes up

As many of you are aware, a leak of J.D. Salinger’s heretofore unpublished “Three Stories” found its way to What.CD in the last day. It is our current belief that this leak originated as a physical copy on eBay and made its way to our site in digital form thereafter, although we cannot confirm this lineage at present.

The official request for these stories has existed on What.CD for some time, and although many thought it would never be filled or otherwise viewed it as a harmless act of communal wishing, the request’s existence was in no way a formal endorsement by What.CD Staff.

The site was temporarily brought down so that we could work to preemptively resolve issues related to the leaked content and the publicity it has received.

Our first priority can and must be the protection of What.CD. Due to this case’s rare and unlikely circumstances, due to the unnecessary and unwanted attention the Salinger leak has brought, and due to our desire to comply with the desires of the Salinger estate or other involved parties in this matter, the content has been removed from What.CD. It is not to be re-uploaded under any circumstances, and anyone found doing so will have their account disabled.

We thank you for your patience as we continue to resolve this matter. Additional details will become available as is necessary per the discretion of the Staff.

Simply an epic win by the what.cd staff :)

saved

So I liked Ocean but the other two are unfinished as fuck. No wonder he didn't want anyone to see them.

>>4312989
i think so

>>4315069
these people (i.e. salinger's estate) must understand that it's too late - once something leaks it's out there forever, especially if it's a small file like this. any mystery or notoriety surrounding "ocean" is gone with the wind once this weekend is over - all that is left is the finished work. they lost. legal action would be ridiculous

>>4312453
I should think anonfiles would let you

>>4312457
sent ;)

>>4312997
this is what a Bibliotik non-member actually thinks

I'm currently formatting it into an epub file and should upload it in an hour or so

Okay, so let me get this straight:

Allie from The Catcher in the Rye is Kenneth
D.B is Vincent
Holden is Holden and Phoebe is Phoebe

What I'm trying to figure out is how Vincent's story about the bowling balls relates to the ocean being bowling balls later in the story.

I thought Kenneth (Allie) died of Leukemia?

I loved the story, but it left me slightly confused. Also, Holden's letter from camp was adorable.

>>4315325
hope you know and are willing to proofread the converted copy.

Can anyone tell me what's so nice about this?

>>4315341
I already have and I didn't spot a single error, the software I used is pretty good, and the high res PDF helped; I'm only giving it good formatting for kindles because I really fucking hate when I download eBooks and they're fucked up and poorly formatted

>>4315069
>pirates pretend to care about copyright owners

>>4315344
Please guys?

I only read Cather in the Rye. Are his other short stories worth reading?

>>4315381
It's all in the thread. it's because they were not supposed to get published by salinger's will.

>>4315343
>Holden's letter from camp was adorable

>>>reddit

Take your herd-think bullshit elsewhere

>>4315387
Oh yeah, i read some stuff some time ago about some work would get published in the next 10 years, so these are the stories?

I thought Sallinger wanted to publish but with as less publicity as possible.

>>4315369
There are a lot of dialogue punctuation fuckups in the later stories, at least in the PDF.

>>4312494
>>4312535
Sorry, that isn't how it works. Inviting users publicly can cause the guy who invited to be permabanned. People on /g/ and /mu/ always report it when it happens. So hopefully youdidn't get an invite and risk the guy's useraccount.

>>4312559
Jesus are you really this dumb?

>>4313013
>By filling bounties, you get extra upload credit added to your account. The guy who uploaded this got credit for 6TB of seeding.
Holy fuck, someone filled this? Did he actually go to the library and scan the pages himself or take pictures with them? Fuck I didn't know abouyt this

holy shit, what.cd removed the torrent. apparently it has caused a massive fucking shitstorm

man how did i fucking miss this

>>4315816
so i guess getting your shit removed from private trackers isn't such a hard task after all

just lawyer up and moan about muh artistic rights/wishes/freedom

>>4313077
Apparently he got it off ebay. Man, I was really hoping someone on whatcd would go to the library and somehow sneak in a camera and photograph every page.

This is still awesome, it was thought that it would never be filled, and then it causes a massive shitstorm

>>4315834
yeah

the most baffling thing, however, is how it ended up in a very limited and highly unofficial book that has managed to remain undiscovered (or at least kept off the internet) for 14 years. i hope some investigative journalist somewhere is on this already

Fake. the real one started on what and only what.

>>4313975

I know I'm a day late, but you are just so fucking stupid i have to reply and i got nothing better to do.

The reason it is unlikely all lights will be leaked in its entirety is because it lowers the value of the physical copies. nobody is gonna rip their tape if their tape could potentially lose thousands in value.

Nobody, besides princeton and salinger and their lackeys, care if this is released. nobody loses any money. therefor it was all the more likely this would be leaked.
