If you crave shit like this you probably also:
-buy physical books (muh smellz, muh eye //strain// etc.)
-download and hord internet porn, i.e. fill up harddrives with videos of people fucking.

Try again, I'm not the same anon you were arguing with, just a concerned /lit/-izen.

But it has become clear that this thread is compromised and you're a delusional maniac who only talks about reading for status and recognition, so I'm going to hide and report this thread and pray for your soul.

wow are you so mad you posted three times in ten minutes. despite your claims of not samefag, y'all are either samefag or one of you's samefag and the other can't quotechain. to the nigga who want a list of books that aren't going to be reprinted, work your way back up to the olympia press comment. it's a shame a lot of that catalog hasn't been picked up though everyone who could get rights, besides based jp donlevy, did a reader's digest version of the best of the best.
go run and educate yourselves about that large hunk of 20th century publishing and royalties history and then come back and tell me how your kindle license makes everyone else just a bookhuffer when you're clearly inhaling your own farts as your total source for knowledge of literature.
>you're a delusional maniac

>>7818932
It's perfectly obvious that most of *anything* printed in the 20th century is not available for download...
Your argument does still rest on obscurity...
Telling also that you chose to refer to a "kindle license" again, as if digital reading/publishing is in any way reducible to amazon.

I win.

Of course my argument doesn't rest on obscurity, you absolute tard, I've been arguing that just because retards haven't heard of shit does not make that shit obscure. You're so mad you don't even know which side of the argument is which.

The prize is who has access to and understand of more books, and I think by that measure of winning there are even Stephen King fans in other threads which have beaten you in this argument just by the magnitude of your ignorance being too large for a thread about the worst invention ever, you back tracking little faggot.

This is easily the most retarded thread on /lit/ right now. I hope you faggots are proud of yourselves.

It was not obscure in the time it was published but it certainly is now, you "tard"?
I only superficially scanned the google results and I concluded your basically talking about erotic pulp shit? Do not correct me if I am wrong...

Everything by the authors you named is downloadable...
My understanding is that there were two publishing "lines" in that publishing house or w/e
Erotic pulp shit refers to the line which does not include works of these popular authors...
The french thing was an innocent joke... pls stop calling me retarded

My mistake was actually thinking you to be more sophisticated than you actually turn out to be...

you called Olympia Press "erotic pulp shit" >>7819008. that's funny as shit considering they're the first publisher for those well known authors even you have heard of but you're retarded enough to assume you wouldn't be called out on that shit. how fucking dumb are you you did not see that coming? i'm calling you retarded because you need to know you are before you hurt yourself plugging in your kindle.

KEKEKEKKEE are you saying that Anais Nin was lying when she called Miller and her group's work erotic pulp shit? so retarded you can't even backpedal straight. all those authors got published by Olympia precisely because they were writing erotica and avant-garde lit. it was the mandate of the press.
>>
>>7819108

Straight tard bait. Should be obvious by that display of idiocy that I won this argument.
You could have just named one of the books that can't be found on the internet from that publisher.
Plus make it's author relevant by whatever tenuous relation he/she might have had.
It's possible, I just searched for some of the titles/authors...

So that's how stupid pretending to buy books does make one.

I have to do other things now.
>>
>>7819145
>maybe if i just pretend the person who knows shit is retarded, nobody will notice i've been retarded in history, taste, and general
no, kiddy, it's not the way it works. you get to go feel inferior about not knowing shit about something you want to be so arrogant and judgmental over. well, that's if you don't want to continue this narcissistic spiral. i'm okay with info dumping about major movements of literature which prove you not just wrong but moronic forever. you can check the whole catalog against the reprinted catalog and the books that aren't reprinted have no reprints. it's literally that simple, retardoboy

i told him to check it out, because if he's interested in finding out which books he can't get on the internet, it's basic legwork. if he really is too retarded to manage that and too ADD to read any of them, why would I bother checking my lists? he can show some initiative instead of just hoping nobody else reads. he's a pretentious fuck. not pretending to be interested and actually doing some reading is the solution to that, not me re-reading shit or spoonfeeding him. i told him to check it out, because spoonfeeding him that much allows anyone else with a genuine interest to find the info easily, along with further tips and info like "how to recongise an olympia edition from 20 yards away"

meh, make a publisher thread. you'll probably get a lot of NYRB, dalkey, daedalus, atlas fags, but don't trust the folio fags for english works because most of them aren't worth it. [these not-even-obscure name drops should keep you in good shit for years]

Not all books have an official electronic version and pirated e-books are full of inconsistencies. Poor scan quality, missing pages, fucked up formatting, etc. are all problems that occur when trying to go fully digital.

Also I like the idea of being able to read when the power goes out.
