Bibliotik is run by a ton of incompetent elitist assholes. I was banned for disagreeing with a librarian via pm, politely, despite being pro. I've never seen a more unwelcoming community.
Just use bookzz and btdigg and get a mobilism account

Not really, read the Quran instead, it's the updated version.
>>7417116

I haven't read it. Do you have any journal/non-fiction recs?
I would read:
Janeway's Immunobiology
Murray's Medical Microbiology
Zaher's Pathology Made Ridiculously Simple
Robbins and Cotran

Most of the journals circle around lab protocols. I just check sources on wikipedia articles and find very interesting links.

There's NEJM, Science, and Nature, of course. I like Journal of Experimental Medicine. Also AJCP.

They do it on purpose because they hate you.
Want people to leave you alone? Get a fucking kindle. It's 2015 you troglodyte.
Is he right?
If I've learned anything from these silicon-valley techno-nogs it's that you can use exponential laws to convince people that just about anything is "about to happen".
So yes, it seems unlikely but I am actually about to anally penetrate your mother.
not even close
that "with no discernible movement coalescing" is bullshit, we just can't talk explicitly about because we're still in the middle of it and we're not sure what it is.
his faggotry about sillicon valley literally just means 'i have a white dick and like my phone'-- sillicon valley itself is the cultural equivalent of chernobyl, like the financial industry, but it might enable something interesting.

I used to think that a book being written 15 years earlier gave it better value too but hey, today's books are tomorrow's classics.
Hey /lit/. I'm thinking of buying an eReader. Until now I read physical books and digital only with my phone, which is quite uncomfortable.
I have no idea at all about eReaders, so I was hoping you could recommend the best current device out there in your opinion, or whatever you're using and find satisfying.
we have this same exact thread three times a day every day
>>7416621
We should really have some image guide for just this type of thread and be done with it
