This is not literature-related, just because you're talking about a book.
>>7653267
I'm sorry, just did not have any idea where to post this. Any advice?
>>7653274
Maybe someone on /sci/ can address your issue, or maybe this bump will put this in front of someone here who can guide you. Pardon my irritability. I hope you're able to find what you're looking for.
Can anyone help me find this book online in any format for free?
Finding it IRL is a no-go sadly.
Anyone? :(

Can anyone here shed some light on how best to seek and acquire the services of a literary/publishing agent? I've finished a novel that is mainstream crime fiction in the Elmore Leonard vein and I'm having trouble finding a catalog or list of agencies that accept unsolicited work. Any direction would be appreciated.
Ps. I've already checked Leonard's agent, also known as The Jackal).

no one? how about this. are there any forums for aspiring authors better suited for such a question?
i won't bump again, just in a bit of a quandary here. anyways, thanks for reading.
See if you can get a copy of the writer's & artists yearbook 2016. It's specifically aimed at people in your situation and should have all the information on who to go to and how to ask them.

What are some books with captivating non bookish dialogue? I'm looking for something I can read out loud to work on my autism.
Bonus points: Original is in German (inb4 Faust)
Thanks friends
Humble bump. Anything witty. Simple. In a dialogue.
Romeo and Juliet
Non bookish?
Do you agree with this

How fucking new are people on /lit/ nowadays
i was making chart list a while ago.
wanna help me improve/correct it?
No Camus? The Stranger belongs here.
>>7652800
it's on no 7
>>7652800
which step in the process of searching for a book on this chart did you fail to do? Was it designating in your mind which book you wanted to find? Was it opening and looking at the image? Or was it remembering to check all of the books, and cross-referencing them with the one you designated? The third is probably the most difficult but just as essential as the other two!
I'm searching for this book:
Godefridi Bidloo - Anatomia humani corporis, centum & quinque tabulis
I found it online, but it was in a direct-reading way, not a .pdf or a .chm format and I wish to print them and browse them easier.
I've been searching for weeks...
ForgottenBooks might have a copy

nope, don't got it.

can literature change the world?
Sometimes, thinkin of Italian first humanists and shit
But most of the times the world changes literature
>>7651755
yes
literally everything can, and does
but don't believe anyone who says they can see the outcomes
It has, and still can, though less so.
I know this is practically a meme question but is Hitler's book Mein Kampf worth the read?
Without going into the politics of it all, does he give any insights into how he became a great speaker? Is there anything of value to be obtained from reading his book or is it just a long rant about how jews took his job?
>>7653250
For me, it's the greatest work ever conceived. It changed me fundamentally, and finally allowed me to see through the liberal lies that I've been fed by cultural marxist Jews all my life.
Beware: Once you've read it, you will not live in a rose-colored world like you are now. Once redpilled, you can't go back.
Try it out. See how deep the rabbit hole goes

thanks anon
any idea what this means? im so utterly befuddled by this sequence of dreams and why this book wtf makes it so special i have to dream about it for months and months
>>7652903
Without knowing more about your life and the dream I couldn't really guess, except that it probably represents your subconscious need to learn about things that are dangerous or verboten. Those things likely aren't related to magick at all but to your self. Anyway, good luck on your quest.
When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
dont make me cry right now you faggot
