/lit/ - Literature

>>917614
Also, I want to express thanks that you gifted it to me despite the obscene shipping costs Amazon charge to us Australians.

http://www.amazon.com/wishlist/1OZSU82XDRT0T

Proof that these things actually go through increases my will to pass it on.

I just finished This Side of Paradise, and so I'm looking for what to read next.

>>917624
also open to suggestions to add to my list as well, if you would be more inclined to gift me something that you think I should read :3

http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/NL5WS10WVTIZ

I love this whole giving and recieving thing on /lit/. Sure it's never huge amounts of money (apart from that guy wanting a $200 lovecraft book...) but it's still very nice.

>>917624
I just checked out 'Basil of Baker Street'. That sounds... interesting. Is it part of a series or something? I loved the Mouse Guard comics.

>>917630
>apart from that guy wanting a $200 lovecraft book
That was obscene. Were you in the thread long enough to notice that he deleted his post?

>>917631
yeah, it's a series.
Have you seen
THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE?
Well, it's an excellent children's disney movie which i loved as a kid. Basil of Baker Street is the book that inspired the movie

In Japanese they translate it as "Sherlock Holmes of the Mouse World" and I love Sherlock Holmes, so it all makes sense that I would want to read it

>>917630
That's an interesting cover for House of Leaves. Is it because it's the British version or something?

Here's mine.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/1SVMTHVOEDRY0

But I guess the shipping costs to Germany are a turn-off... It still would be if people could give me suggestions.

>>917634
I remember seeing the ads for The Great Mouse Detective as a kid when I was watching other Disney movies on (prepare thyself...) VHS. I never got around to watching it, unfortunately. But, now that you've reminded me, I'm going to hunt it down. Thanks. Also, I'm adding Basil of Baker Street to my wishlist as we speak.

>>917633

No but it doesn't surprise me. Anon's kind but I don't think anyone here has that kinda money to blow...

>>917638
Might well be. I just went with the cheapest copy up there. To be honest I'm awful with usually recognized book covers. Unless the name is spelt out on the front or it's Gatsby or something obscenely popular I struggle to identify them.

>>917614

>>917642
>Cloud Atlas
You were in that thread too, huh? It's on my wishlist too now.

>>917643
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dyl0vtbNvjI

The quality really isn't that good, but they do have the entire thing on youtube.

It was definitely my favorite of those Disney movies they had.
Even watching it now, 20 years later, I still find that it's an excellent movie. It's a lot darker than what you would think a typical "disney" movie would be.

>>917642
why not make a bookdepository wishlist then?

don't they ship free to more or less everywhere

>>917653
what they mean by "free" is that they include the shipping price in the price that they show you.

It's like saying Japan has no sales tax, because they list the price with the tax included on the tag.

>>917653
YES - bookdepository wishlists ftw.

Why pay shipping fees when bookdepository ships everywhere for free!

>>917657
Uh.. No.

Have you compared the prices with amazon?

More often than not, they're an even match, until amazon adds on the shipping fees.

>>917653
>>917658
Guys, guys... you CAN'T make bookdepository wishlists. They simply don't have that function. Else I'd have made that suggestion about a month ago.

>>917663
hmm ok, i just got this information from someone who said this here on /lit/ when the question of "free shipping" came up

http://amzn.com/w/JOBQ2Y1FIH6V

>>917657
meanwhile EVERY book i have bought from them has been cheaper than amazon and other online or or brick and mortar stores

>>917650
that's right. DAT SRAD.

>>917653
I didn't knew that is was possible to make a wishlist at bookdepository. Thank you for the advice!

>>917650
that's right. DAT SRAD.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2K29OEIFIE46X

I would be grateful for anything on the list.

>>917664
Yes you can - go check it for yourself.

>>917650
that's right. DAT SRAD.

i cant believe you fags are into begging threads too nowadays.

what happened to you?

>>917665
That was very probably me. I was preaching bookdespository in a recent thread.

>>917667
This. A million times this.

>>917673
Are you kidding? Have I just... overlooked it or something? I'm going to kick myself as soon as you're proven right.

>>917677
>I, OP, invite others to share their wishlists in the hope that I can find one with something I've read and loved so that I can feel good about sharing it with another /lit/ poster.
>begging thread

>>917678
Go to wishlists - Share and Manage and then click public.

You'll have a nice tidy Url for public sharing :D

>>917683
Is there a way to buy for each other though?

>>917673
Son of a bitch, you're right! I am going to be forming a bookdepository wishlist, and I encourage others to do the same.

just make sure you change your name to something other than your actual name, as it seems the addys are bd.com/numbersandletters/your real name

>>917688
Haven't tried to buy anything for anyone else yet so i'm not sure

>>917696
Yes this too.

Here's my list.
http://amzn.com/w/3O0UNBIM00RZ0

I don't know if book depository allows you to put in a shipping address for people to send you.

>>917693
>Animal Farm and 1984
If I didn't already have AF and 1984 as two separate books with the complementary communist-russia-style covers I'd be all over that simple yet beautiful combined edition.

Anyone feel like gifting a book to someone british?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/1PZA0SEN2SOCD

>>917696
Why? The Amazon wishlists show your full name. I'm not really worried about /lit/ anon knowing it, unless there's some reason I'm overlooking?

i want "100 demons" by horiyoshi III, but thats £157, and i aint never gettin that bought for me XD

>>917709
I don't think names are a big deal. It's not hard to find tons of names on the internet who cares that you find them here.

But this is what I'm trying to find out >>917703

>>917706
I'm actually reading Breakfast of Champions at the moment - slightly disappointed so far.

>>917703
Yeah i just tried this and it seems not to have that function yet - i'll send them an e-mail and suggest they make a change.
Might as well give it a shot - i hate shipping charges.

>>917726
>i'll send them an e-mail and suggest they make a change.
Thanks for being proactive. As much as I'd LOVE for them to implement that feature, I'm much too lazy to actually let them know that.

http://amzn.com/w/3AHOZVGZ7AZ79

giving this a shot

http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/2KERE2J0NV8BE

In late again, but would love the complete sherlock holmes edition. Thanks for gifting others anyway kind anon.

http://amzn.com/w/23CB22CHVIK1M

If I ever do get anything from these threads I'm going to have to stop calling everyone on 4chan an asshole and I'll have to be happy about it. I'm not sure that's a good trade off...

>>917739
i was told i was getting something, hasnt arrived yet.

there's still hope, anon!

http://amzn.com/w/32LLZZE8GC8VY

>>917733
E-mail sent!

To whom it may concern,

I'm writing to suggest a feature for your website, due to a number of people brining it to my attention.

The wishlist function you have is a great resource for many customers, but is lacking in one important feature; the ability to purchase for someone else directly through the site.

I'm suggesting this primarily because I, like many others, purchase most of my books on the internet, however i'm never too pleased about using Amazon's wishlist service just to purchase gifts

Were you to implement this new feature it could very well generate a new revenue stream. There are quite a number of people growing increasingly frustrated with Amazon's charges, but cannot currently use your service as a viable alternative.

If this feature were to be implemented, I would most certainly use it on a near regular basis for close friends and family. I'm sure many others would do the same.

I hope you'll consider this as a realistic suggestion for the improvement of your site.

Kind Regards,
*Anon* (Did not actually sign off as anon)

http://amzn.com/w/IVZLETGD7ITV

>>917738
OP here. I just bought you Gunslinger, buddy. Enjoy it.

>>917746
>I would most certainly use it on a near regular basis for close friends and family.
you anon, are such a close friend that i consider you family

>>917750
and we have a winner

It would feel bad, man, but i approve of the OP's choice -- I'm currently reading the series.

>>917751
Happy to oblige :)

I'm probably late, but here it goes:
http://amzn.com/w/3LVL1DV3YY20I

Recommendations are welcome, I'm almost finishing Arno Schmidt and I'll probably go to the library today in the afternoon to get some of these books on my list. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a good bookstore around here that isn't overcrowded by hyped books and self-health BS. :\

>>917753
I only wish it could have been the un-revised edition. I prefer it despite its 'inconsistencies' in regards to the rest of the series.

>>917759
I haven't read into it that deeply, and it's been a long time since I read the first one. Not only that, but I'm only just about to begin the 5th one, so there might be stuff later.

I don't know what inconsistencies there were, or how it was different, but I'm pretty sure mine was revised.

>>917762
Wiki has a list of the differences, but on my first read-through I didn't notice them at all to be honest.

>>917746
Until they decide to read/implement my suggestions I might as well post my amazon wishlist.

In very late but sure what harm.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/345L0JBI49I2H

>>917750
I think, in order to let these threads die when they're done, the OP should announce when he's done gifting books.

>>917773
this is a general word of advice for all gifting threads, not just this OP...

>>917746
Until they read/implement my suggestion i'm gonna post my amzn wishlist.

In late but sure what harm
http://www.amazon.co.uk/wishlist/345L0JBI49I2H

>>917773
>>917776
That's a fair suggestion. I, OP, am done gifting for tonight. I hope the Gunslinger guy enjoys it as much as I did. Sorry to those who've missed out so far - just be patient, don't beg, and be appreciative when you get lucky. I hope to see you all again next gift-thread.

>>917815
Props to OP

>>917614

you can see the persons name who you bought for tho.
im not sure if they can see your name.

>>919503
Much obliged. I read his short stories first and really loved his writing style. Most of his 'children's stories' were depressing as fuck though.

I've been reading Dorian Gray during my morning commutes and I absolutely love the dialogue. Even though Lord Henry has some of my favorite lines/quotes I still think he's one of the most evil characters I've ever read about. It's so sad what he did to Dorian. When he killed Basil I legitimately hated him.

>>919527

On the right side of your list, click the bar that says "unpurchased." Change that to "purchased" and you will see the books people have bought for you.

You get your copy of "The Unconsoled" yet?

Can't believe anyone here is actually good enough to do this but it seems an awful lot of hassle if it's some huge trolling effort that I'm left out of. Worth trying anyway. Will pass it on if this is seriously going on.

http://www.amazon.ca/wishlist/37CDNEYGX1PL4

>>919542
Lots of classics on there. I personally wasn't a huge fan of Crime and Punishment but loved most of Nabokov's stuff. Lolita was very VERY good.

I'm kind of broke right now so I can't buy you anything but I can toss out a recommendation. I found that Robert Louis Stevenson's short story 'Markheim' was very similar in themes to Crime and Punishment and I enjoyed it a lot more than I did C&P (though to be fair I studied C&P in school and that always makes you like a novel less).

Also love The Code of the Woosters. I've only watched the TV Series "Jeeves and Wooster" with Hugh Laurie in it but I adore the characters.

These threads are indeed for real.
I just bought a book for someone not more than 10 minutes ago. I haven't received any yet, but I'm sure that I will someday.
This is a truly amazing thing happening here.

I just hope that people who get books take pics and post them in these threads. It'll get annoying if everyone makes a new thread when they get something.

Thank you again. When I get some disposable income I'll try to repay the kindness to another anon.

>>919580

haha, no promises needed. And I'm not a saint, we are all Saint Anon.

It makes me very happy to see these threads continue to be a success. I'll contribute more in the fall when I get financial aid. Then I can actually afford to buy britfags some books. This is a fairly tightnit community (for 4chan), so I'm always glad to spread some love.

Posting my shit one last time. Feel free to cherry pick off my 7 page list.

Just wanted to get the record straight here...when someone receives a book, do they see the name on the credit card it was purchased with, or just the address?

>>919595

Thanks for the suggestion -- I'll definitely check it out. True what you said about having to study something at school. High school killed Shakespeare for me.

If you liked Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry in Jeeves and Wooster, check out A Bit of Fry and Laurie. It's a gem.

>>919613

Ach... I'm going to break my rule about reposting in these threads. Some of these are just super hard to find in used bookstores.

Me again. Found my card. :D

I'm going to get my wishlist together and purchase the book later. If I don't today, then I will tomorrow. I'm almost falling asleep on my keyboard, so just I'll post this here in the meantime:

http://www.amazon.com/wishlist/2GSJSLOY6CKRM

>>919629
I'm pretty sure it's public domain by now so you can probably read it online for free (legally). It's only about 40 pages or so but I think it's really good. Of course I totally understand if you'd prefer a physical version you can hold in your hands, when it comes to novels (or even comic books) I'm the exact same way.

I've always been meaning to check out a Bit of Fry and Laurie but I never have the time. I loved Black Adder though (especially the last season).

>>919648

*I'll just*

I definitely need some sleep. :S

>>919649

Found it here: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/Mark.shtml

>I loved Black Adder though (especially the last season).

That ending ;_;

I thought I'd give it a shot.

http://amzn.com/w/1ZIBYGPWAUU8X

>>919659
Why would you cry at the ending? They all survived the war, lived long and happy lives (well actually I assume that Blackadder probably got annoyed by Baldrik for the rest of his life but whatever) and Fry's character got a new pigeon.

I refuse to believe anything else.

(Although I'll admit that Hugh Laurie just sort of breaking down made me choke up a little)

>>919682
SHUT THE FUCK UP FAGGOT. STOP SPOILING SHIT.

I'm pretty sure it's only really been one anon, called saintanon? and a couple of tripfags doing all the giving over the last couple of days

I've made a bookdepository wish list for cheaper shipping.

Please go wild buying books for me. I absolutely will read them. Each and every single one.

I also realize that there are going to be a lot of posts to this thread, and not everyone's going to be going through every post out of idle curiosity, so I thought I'd distinguish myself to the Gods of Anon with an haiku:

You should use The Book Depository. Free shipping and pretty cheap prices.

You can't gift books through bookdepository.

>>920247

For the 50th fucking time in this thread. Book Depository does not have free shipping. They calculate the cost of shipping into the total cost.

Yes you can

Hey. I've seen your list multiple times and wanted to buy you Pale Fire, but I'm a US resident and it would cost me $10 just to ship it to you in Canada. Sorry. I just don't have the money to send you something right now.

I haven't skipped you over though. Saint Anon remembers all and will reward you justly when he has extra cash.

>>920261

I stand corrected. My apologies

Saint Anon ;_;

OP here. As I mentioned, I'm in Australia. One of the guys I've gifted was in the UK if I recall correctly. It happens, man.

>>920265

Ah, it's good to know. Thanks Saint Anon. I keep reposting because I wasn't sure whether my list sucks or it just got lost amongst all the posts.

I do not have a wishlist and am not asking for anything, so don't think I'm sucking up by what I'm about to say.

Because of things like this, /lit/ really is one of the nicest places here on 4chan. I'm glad we don't have a massive userbase, and it's good that the majority of the users here are more mature than those in some of the other boards.

I'm living in Australia, so could any Australians please let us know, incase I, or other users from here would like to partake. I'd look at your list, and buy it from bookdepository.co.uk, if it's possible... Amazon charges a shitload for international delivery...

>100+ dollar subscription to The Economist
>Please, by the grace of God, eliminate yourself from humanity.

Holy shit, I didn't realize I have the most controversial wish list in this thread. There's a thread about replacing words in book titles right now, and I get "kill yourself" for reading the economist. I love /lit/.

>>920848
You look like a tool who thinks he's "intellectual" because he listens to NPR.

There's also no reason anyone should respect someone who has 90 percent needlessly expensive hardcovers on their wish list.

>>920861
You've got a weird name.
But that's cool.

>>920863
It's not about the Economist, it's just sort of ridiculous to expect someone to shell out that much cash for a stranger.

You should make your /lit/ list a bit more friendly.

>>920859
How's that?

>>920863
You don't get "kill yourself" for reading The Economist, you get a "kill yourself"for wanting to spend that much on a year's worth of disposable pieces of waiting-room elevator reads.

>>920868
Thanks.

>>920863

No, you're catching shit because you're asking for a $100+ gift. Be reasonable man.

I said it last night and I'll say it again: We are kind anons, not your relatives. We buy books that cost maybe $20 at most, not a fucking kindle or a year's subscription to a magazine.

Really? Can you not see how that's a little rude asking stranger for that much generosity? If you can't, then at least look at other people's wishlists and notice the precedent. No one else is asking for gifts with that much value.

>>920863
>Ordinary person thinks he's "controversial" and "edgy" for holding fairly mainstream and ordinary opinions as a way to reassert his sense of individuality.

>>920887
fair enough

>>920825
>>920825
>>920825
>>920825
i'd just like to point out that many books on my wish list can be purchased used for under $4. lol

>>920887
You are the online equivalent of that prick of a child who asks his starving uncle to buy him a million dollar prize-winning racehorse. Pathetic.

>>920887

to be fair, maybe he just add the kindle and the subcription in case if some friend or relative happen to come across with his wishlist and had $300 bucks laying around

but you're right, we're noones relatives

>>920792
On a lighter note, $40 for a year's subscription to the New Yorker seems rather cheap.

>not a begging thread
>scroll past see no actual discussion of lists beyond 1 or 2 posts out of 20.

Right. These threads are trash man. If you really, really want a book: Go to a library. And for those of you who don't have access to libraries, just torrent the books or borrow them from a friend. And if you don't have friends? It still doesn't give you enough reason to go begging over the internet.

God, at least admit that a frog is a frog. That's what irritates me the most, why not post "Buy me a book for free thread" like it is. Doesn't sound so nice, eh?

>>920920
Looks like someone didn't get a book!

Yay! I'm being called a scammer again.

Nevermind that I've spent about $100 I don't have in the last 3 days for no reason real reason except to spread goodwill. Nevermind that I've received 5 books and bought almost 3 times as many. Nevermind that I've tried to fill my list with the cheapest copies possible, many of which cost 1 cent and most of which are less than $10. Nevermind that I probably couldn't sell that shit back for a profit if I tried.

No, I'm out to screw everyone. My devious plan will someday make me rich and all of anon will be exposed as schmucks. It's brilliant really, isn't it?

OP, are you a girl?
